Episode Description from the Publisher

You started strength training — now what? In this episode, I'm walking you through exactly what to expect in your first 30, 60, and 90 days of strength training. From the early nervous system wins you'll feel before you ever see a change in the mirror, to the moment your body starts building real muscle and your everyday life starts to feel different — this is your realistic, no-BS roadmap. We're also talking about the biggest mistakes that derail beginners before the results even get good — including why the scale is lying to you, why you should NOT be cutting calories right now, and why comparing yourself to anyone else is a waste of your very precious energy. If you've ever wondered is this actually working — this episode is for you.
