In this Q&A episode, Derek and I answer listener questions about training, motivation, and longevity in the gym. We talk about how to push intensity without constantly feeling beat up, what we’d do differently if we could restart our powerlifting careers, and whether it’s still worth competing if you’re not chasing elite numbers. We also share our go-to workouts for the days we don’t feel like training and wrap up by describing our dream gym setup.

Alex Viada has been discussing hybrid training for over a decade, long before it gained popularity on social media. In this conversation, we explore what’s fueling the hybrid training boom, how his thinking has evolved with experience, and why most people still misunderstand what hybrid training really is.

The term “science-based” gets thrown around a lot in fitness, but most people using it don’t actually think critically about what it means. In this episode, Ben Yanes and I talk about how to separate real evidence from buzzwords, spot red flags in fitness advice, and think smarter about who you trust.

In this episode, Derek and I talk about how the fitness industry lost its way. What used to be about sharing knowledge, learning from experience, and helping people improve has turned into a game of algorithms, trends, and hot takes. We break down what changed, why authenticity still matters, and how to bring the focus back to real training and results.

In this week’s Q&A, Derek and I sit down to tackle some fun and thought-provoking questions from the listeners. We dig into how to really know if you’re training hard enough, the biggest lessons injuries have taught us, how to keep lifting exciting after two decades under the bar, and the weirdest things we’ve ever seen actually work in the gym. Sit back, relax, and enjoy!

In this episode, I catch up with my longtime friend Nick Smoot. We look back on the early Hunt Fitness days, what it was like for him to be my protégé, and how he became one of the first wave of online coaches. It’s mostly two friends swapping stories, but there are plenty of nuggets you’ll take away.
