Should We Revisit What to Eat Before, During & After Workouts? Aug 06, 2025

Show notes

Is workout nutrition still worth obsessing over? For a while, it was treated like gospel—pre-workout meals, intra carbs, post-workout shakes. Then the research shifted focus toward total daily intake, and the hype died down. But maybe we were too quick to move on. In this solo episode, I dig into what to eat before, during, and after training to support muscle growth, performance, and recovery. I also share why, despite the lack of strong research, my 15+ years of coaching experience tell me that getting peri-workout nutrition right is still one of the easiest wins. Sit back, relax, and enjoy!

The Only 10 Exercises You Need [Q&A] Aug 01, 2025

Show notes

In this episode, Derek and I tackle some big-picture questions that every lifter thinks about—starting with the only 10 exercises we'd pick if we had to train with them for life. We also talk about how to know when it's time to switch programs (or stick with the one you're on), the one nutrition rule we wish everyone would follow forever, and whether chasing strength can hurt muscle growth. Plus, we dig into finding the point of diminishing returns with training volume and which athlete we'd pick to train with for a week. Sit back, relax, and enjoy!

Why Old School Bodybuilding Training Still Works Jul 25, 2025

Show notes

In this solo episode, I take a deep dive into the muscle-building philosophies that defined mid-2000s bodybuilding—programs like Max-OT, DoggCrapp Training, HST, and the classic bro split. I break down what those approaches got right, what still holds up today, and how we can blend that old-school intensity with the smarter, more individualized methods we use now. This episode is part nostalgia, part practical guide. If you miss the days of bodybuilding message board debates and training like a maniac, or you're just looking for a way to reignite your progress, this one's for you. Sit back, relax, and enjoy!

When to Break the Fitness Rules (And When to Follow Them) Jul 18, 2025

Show notes

Have you ever heard the expression "you have to know the rules so you know when to break them?" In this episode, Kyle and Derek explore when it actually makes sense to deviate from the textbook fitness rules and go against the grain. Whether it's ditching strict form or not tracking training volume, we cover the gray areas that most lifters face but few talk about. Sit back, relax, and enjoy.

The Lost Art of the Training Program Jul 04, 2025

Show notes

In this episode, Derek and I dive into what nobody's talking about anymore — the actual training program. These days, everyone obsesses over exercise selection, fancy equipment, or the latest hack, but they forget the backbone of quality training: a smart, progressive plan. We break down why programming matters, what's missing from modern approaches, and how to bring back the structure that gets results.
