If your training isn’t working, it’s because you’re making bad choices.
Most people walk into the gym thinking they’re training hard. Truth is, they’re just getting tired. If you don’t have a plan, if you don’t know why you’re doing what you’re doing, you’re wasting time.
Our resident Dragon Slayer, Arash Soofiani, put your questions on exercise selection in front of me, and I didn’t hold back. We’re talking about the most overrated exercise in gym programs right now—one that’s eating up your time and delivering nothing in return—and what you should be doing instead. If you want an unbreakable back, there are a few key exercises you can’t afford to skip, and I’m laying them out for you.
We’re also diving into how to figure out if the exercises in your program are actually making you stronger or just filler BS that looks good on paper but won’t get you anywhere. And for those who want to be in and out of the gym without sacrificing gains, I’ve got some tips for cutting your training time in half while still getting results.
Listen, learn, and then get back to work.
