The Real Reason You’re Not Seeing Results in the Gym // Ep. 168 Apr 22, 2025

Show notes

Mindset is the foundation of any successful fitness journey, forming the essential groundwork before nutrition plans or training programs can be effective.
• Mental resilience requires keeping the promises you make to yourself
• Having the discipline to show up when motivation is lacking creates long-term consistency
• Fat loss often provides more immediate feedback and psychological rewards than muscle building
• Going through periods of lower motivation is normal, even for experienced fitness enthusiasts
• Community support creates accountability and motivation when personal drive is diminished
• Progress requires patience and understanding that everyone starts at different levels
• Focusing on how far you've come rather than fixating on perceived flaws changes perspective
• Small shifts in mindset can transform an average workout into your best session in months
• Surrounding yourself with positive people amplifies your results and mental state
• The six inches of real estate between your ears determines your fitness success
Join us next week for a deep dive on creatine, exploring its benefits beyond muscle building, proper dosing protocols, and why it's a staple supplement in our routines.

Show notes

Ben and Dave return to discuss recent developments in fitness research and share personal updates on their cutting phases and body composition goals.

• New research challenges the effectiveness of standard 5g creatine dosing for muscle growth benefits
• Studies suggest 10g of creatine may be necessary for cognitive benefits
