Episode 380 - How To Build Muscle With Home Workouts

Hey listeners, welcome back to The UMS Podcast, with a twist. I'm Phil White, not your usual host, but here to discuss a hot topic that's close to my heart and many of yours - it is how gaining significant muscle mass at home. This past year has been a game-changer for Rad, as he's managed to add around 7-8 kilograms (16-17 lbs) of muscle through home workouts focused on hypertrophy. Given the buzz and the plethora of questions surrounding home-based muscle building, especially considering the impressive gains by our own Rad, we thought it pivotal to delve into this subject. Join us as we outline his journey, the strategies employed, and how you can achieve similar results. This isn't just about getting bigger; it's about transforming your approach to fitness and embracing the strength within you, all from your living space.

In this insightful video, I open up about the tumultuous start to my year, marked by unexpected challenges including catching COVID and juggling family responsibilities. These hurdles significantly impacted my fitness routine, especially contrasting my experience with training at a bustling big box gym in Sydney against RAD's home gym setup.

Episode 352: Build Strength and Flexibility Together to Protect Your Joints

2023 Flexibility Blueprint launch date: Sunday 17th Sept 7:00pm PST This free training will teach you whether you're stage 1, 2 or 3 flexibility, and exactly what exercises and routines will get you to the next level. Want to build strength without sacrificing flexibility? 🤔

Maybe you're worried that lifting weights will make you bulky and stiff. Don't sweat it! Today's video covers a fail-proof approach that lets you get the best of both worlds. 💪🤸‍♀️ 🎯

Why Is This Important?

Traditional weightlifting can help you build strength, but it can also limit your flexibility if done incorrectly. At Unity Gym, I teach you how to perform classic lifts like bench press, squat, and chin-ups in a way that enhances both strength and flexibility. 🤔

How Does It Work?

The key is full range of motion! By moving your joints through their entire range, you build strength at the points where you're most vulnerable. You're essentially teaching your body that being flexible is safe and beneficial. This also keeps your joints happy and healthy. 🔥

The Strategy:

1️⃣ Incorporate full range of motion in classic lifts.

2️⃣ Utilize end-range contractions and loaded stretching.

3️⃣ Work both upper and lower body for balanced gains.

Remember, it's not just about lifting heavy; it's about lifting smart. Tune in to discover how you can elevate your strength training while staying supple and injury-free. Let me know your thoughts in the comments! 👇

Welcome to this episode on returning to training post holidays

If you're like most people, you may be eager to jump back into your workouts and make up for lost time. But before you do, it's important to consider the concept of load management.


Taking a break from your training can cause a loss of conditioning, but it's common to want to play catch up and make up for any weight gained over the break. However, trying to pick up where you left off can actually increase the risk of injury.


To avoid this and achieve your fitness goals, it's important to ease back into your training and gradually build up your strength and conditioning. This is especially true if you've had more than a week off or if you've been inconsistent with your workouts. In these cases, it's best to regress your training and avoid advanced overload methods.


So remember, when returning to your workouts post holidays, pay attention to load management to avoid injury and achieve your goals.
