2. Train to RIR 1/2

3. Progress get’s interrupted

4. Invest in good gym gear - squat shoes, sleeves & a belt

5. Deload weeks - TRAINING HACKS

6. Train with objective not vibes - power of a good routine

7. Training sore is okay (Know you will adapt, bite down and. learn to be a beast. The sooner you do the faster your results will come)

8. Slow down the eccentric - utilize phases of pushing heavy weight with slight form breakdown, adapt back to slow controller reps

9. Walk more instead of doing cardio at the gym

Why does your diet keep failing, even when you feel like you’re “doing everything right”? In this episode, we break down the real reasons most diets fail, why restriction backfires, and how to build a sustainable way of eating you can actually stick to for life.

We talk about diet consistency, long-term fat loss, and why constantly jumping between keto, carnivore, fasting, and the next trendy diet is keeping you stuck in the all-or-nothing cycle. If you’re tired of starting over every Monday, binging on weekends, or feeling lost at social events, this episode is for you.

You’ll learn how to stop relying on motivation, simplify your nutrition, build repeatable habits, and create a realistic approach to healthy eating that works in real life, not just on paper.

Most people think they’re training hard in the gym… but the results say otherwise.

In this episode, we break down the most common mistakes holding people back from building muscle, getting stronger, and actually seeing progress - even if they’re consistent.

From poorly balanced workouts to sloppy form, wasted rest time, and treating nutrition like an afterthought, these errors add up fast and silently kill results.

(0:00) - Intro

1- Strength training to cardio/other ratio is out of proportion

ex- 30min strength, 30min cardio

20min strength, 15 min stretching, 15 min sauna

2- Form is all over the place

too much swinging, improper hinging, not full range of motion etc,

Easy fix? 2 options: Form guide & form playlist

3- Not pushing yourself

On average most people will leave 7+ reps left in the tank, which means no proper stimulus or overload

Often people pick the same weight and never add 2.5’s, etc

4- Worrying what others think about you

Everyone is there to better themselves, don’t be afraid to make a mistake or do an exercise that looks “silly”

5- Rest time is either too long or too short

ex- talking a ton

Compounds: 2-4 minutes

Accessories- 45-90 seconds

6- Doing the easy stuff

Big difference in doing- barbell squat, stiff leg deads, leg press & hip thrust vs. quad extension, hammy curl, abductor & calves.

7- Not following a proper routine

60-80% of people in the gym are not following a proper routine

8- Treating nutrition as an afterthought

This one is unique but probably one of the most important tips

You can’t out-train inconsistent eating.
