In this Q&A episode, Kyle and Derek answer listener-submitted questions on everything from mental toughness in the gym to dealing with imposter syndrome as a new coach. They dive into how to stop comparing your physique to others, share things they have changed their minds about, and tackle whether social media is helping or hurting lifters today. The episode wraps up with a fun—but surprisingly deep—debate: would you rather be the strongest guy in your gym or the most jacked? If you’re into mindset, performance, and real talk about the fitness lifestyle, this one’s for you. Sit back, relax, and enjoy!

In this episode, Derek and I dive into the mental health benefits of lifting weights. We talk about how training gives you more than just strength—it provides structure, stress relief, purpose, and a way to anchor your mindset when life feels chaotic. Whether you’ve used the gym to work through tough times or just feel better when you train, you’ll relate to this one. It’s not therapy, but it’s close—Iron Therapy. Sit back, relax, and enjoy the episode.

Athletic performance—and success in the weight room—comes down to four key components: physical, technical, tactical, and psychological. Miss the mark on any one of these, and you’re leaving results on the table.

The trouble is that most lifters focus heavily on the physical while often ignoring the mental side entirely. That’s a mistake.

In this podcast, I focus on the psychological side of strength training—what mental training is, how to implement it, and the real impact it can have on performance. Sit back, relax, and enjoy the episode.
