In this episode, Derek and I dig into real questions from listeners who are trying to make progress while dealing with normal life. We talk about why so many lifters stall on the bench around 185, how to survive early-morning training without feeling like a zombie, and what to do if you’re great for a few weeks and then fall off track. We also break down the eat clean all week, blow it on the weekend trap, plus how dads can stay consistent when kids get sick, and routines get wrecked.

In this episode, I sit down with Dr. John Rusin to break down what it really takes to lift for a lifetime. We cover smart exercise selection, how to train around pain, practical mobility work, and what an effective warm-up actually looks like. It’s a dense, actionable conversation to keep you healthy and strong for the long haul.

In this episode, Derek and I break down the differences between percentages, RPE, and RIR, and how each one actually fits into smart programming. We talk about when percentage-based work makes sense, why autoregulation matters, and how to use all three methods together without turning your training into something overly complicated.

In this episode, I sit down with my longtime friend Nick Smoot to catch up and talk training, life, and everything in between. We dive into his recent transition to hybrid training — how he's balancing strength, endurance, and everyday life, and what he's learned along the way.
