IT'S TRUE! - Cardio CAN BUILD Muscle; Here's What You Need to Know | Mind Pump 1991

Egg Benefits

Sal Di Stefano discusses a study comparing the effects of whole eggs versus egg whites on muscle growth. The study found that consuming whole eggs led to greater muscle gains, fat loss, and increased testosterone levels compared to egg whites 1. Justin Andrews notes that eggs are often called nature's multivitamin due to their nutrient density 1. Sal also explains that dietary cholesterol does not significantly impact blood cholesterol levels, debunking old studies conducted on rabbits 2. He highlights the body's ability to regulate cholesterol through liver production, making whole eggs a beneficial addition to a muscle-building diet 2.

Eggs in general, they're one of the most nutrient-dense foods.

Protein Power

Adam Schafer emphasizes the importance of hitting protein targets for muscle growth. He explains that increasing protein intake can lead to fat loss and muscle gain, even without reducing overall calorie intake 3. Sal shares his experience with clients who were initially skeptical but saw significant body fat reduction and muscle gains after increasing their protein consumption 3. This approach often surprises clients who expect to cut calories to lose weight.

You're actually eating less calories. I don't think you realize it because protein is higher.

Testosterone Boosters

Sal discusses the effectiveness of certain testosterone boosters, particularly those containing the K S 66 strain of Ashwagandha. This strain has been shown to raise testosterone levels in men with low testosterone 4. He also mentions compounds that increase free testosterone by preventing it from being bound by sex hormone-binding globulin, enhancing its effectiveness 4. Sal highlights the importance of using well-formulated products for better results.

There are things that you can take, like di boron, that will actually free up more testosterone.
