Unlock Your Muscle Potential with Precision Data

Stop guessing. Telomyx scans show exactly how much lean muscle you have, where it’s distributed, and how to build more.

Why Building Muscle Is About More Than the Gym

Building muscle isn’t just about lifting heavier weights or eating more protein. To truly optimise muscle growth, you need accurate data on your body composition, metabolism, and training zones.


At Telomyx, we use DEXA body scans, VO₂ max testing, and Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR) assessments to give you a complete picture of your physiology. That means you can train smarter, fuel correctly, and track muscle gain with precision — not guesswork.

Why Muscle Gain Matters

Performance

More muscle improves strength, endurance, and speed.

Longevity

Lean muscle mass protects against age-related decline and disease.

Metabolic Health

Muscle boosts your resting metabolism and helps regulate blood sugar.

Injury Prevention

Balanced muscle distribution reduces strain and lowers injury risk.

Whether you’re chasing peak performance, building resilience as you age, or simply wanting to look and feel stronger, muscle gain is one of the most powerful investments in your health.

The Challenges People Face

Most people trying to build muscle run into the same roadblocks:

  • Hitting plateaus in the gym with no clear reason.
  • Gaining fat instead of muscle during bulking phases.
  • Not knowing whether training sessions are truly effective.
  • Age-related muscle loss (sarcopenia) making progress harder.


The common thread? No objective way to measure progress. Without accurate data, you’re relying on the mirror or the scales — both of which can be misleading.

How Telomyx Helps You Build Muscle

At Telomyx, we turn muscle gain into a measurable, trackable process.

DEXA For Muscle Gain

See exactly how much lean muscle you have — and where it’s distributed. A DEXA scan tracks progress with unmatched accuracy, showing whether your training is truly building muscle or just shifting body fat.

VO₂ Max For Muscle Gain

Muscle doesn’t grow without recovery. A VO₂ max test reveals your personal training zones, so you can optimise conditioning, avoid burnout, and support hypertrophy with smarter cardio.

Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR) For Muscle Gain

Nutrition makes or breaks muscle growth. An RMR test measures your daily calorie burn at rest, helping you fuel enough for hypertrophy — without adding unwanted fat.

Science-Backed Training & Nutrition, Guided by Data

Muscle gain comes down to four pillars:

  1. Strength Training – Progressive overload builds muscle fibres.
  2. Nutrition – Sufficient protein and calories fuel hypertrophy.
  3. Recovery – Sleep and rest allow growth to happen.
  4. Progress Tracking – Knowing whether you’re gaining muscle, fat, or both.

Our testing gives you the numbers that connect these pieces:

Case Studies: From Data to Results

“In just six months, James increased his leg lean mass by 2kg while limiting fat gain to under 1kg. With Telomyx scans, he knew exactly when to adjust training and nutrition — no more wasted effort.”

FAQs: Muscle Gain & Testing

Which test is best for me?

That depends on your goal. DEXA is the gold standard for tracking lean muscle, VO₂ helps you train smarter, and RMR ensures your nutrition is on point.

Do I need all three tests?

Not always. Many clients start with DEXA, then add VO₂ and RMR for a complete picture.
 

How often should I scan to track progress?

Every 3–6 months is ideal for measurable changes.

Is DEXA safe?

Yes. A DEXA scan uses less radiation than a transatlantic flight.
