Frequently Asked Questions

How often should I work out?

Aim for at least 3–5 sessions a week depending on your goals. Recovery is just as important as intensity.

What supplements are actually worth taking?

Protein powder, creatine, omega-3s, and a basic multivitamin are great science-backed choices. Avoid unproven or heavily marketed gimmicks.

What’s the difference between strength training and hypertrophy training?

Strength training focuses on lifting heavier weights with lower reps (1–6 reps), aiming to increase maximum strength. Hypertrophy training targets muscle size, using moderate weights and higher reps (6–12 reps), usually with shorter rest between sets.

Is cardio necessary if I lift weights?

Cardio isn’t required for muscle building but it does improve heart health and endurance. Even 2–3 light cardio sessions a week (walking, cycling, etc.) can be beneficial for overall fitness.

Do I need supplements to see results?

No, you can make great progress with just whole foods and solid training. But supplements like protein powder, creatine, or a multivitamin can help fill gaps if needed.
