  • Knowledgeable, genuine, helpful

    I love this podcast! The episode titles are clearly labeled so you know exactly what he’ll discuss and the topics are very niche, not the same overdone conversations on other fitness podcasts. This one gets into the nitty gritty. Jeff’s also just a stand up guy. I asked him a question on Instagram and he took the time to talk through it with me without trying to sell me on his coaching. He’s one of the good ones, really just in it to help the rest of us get stronger and healthier. ❤️❤️

  • Excellent show for all things Fitness & Health

    I’m always dropping in here for the latest on fitness and health. With a degree in ESKHP and many years of personal exercise/nutrition experience plus personal training, this is one of the best go-to resources especially since I don’t work around this field currently.

    Thanks for the great show Jeff!

Body Recomp Training Strategies with Brandon DaCruz | Ep 790
Q: Can you recomp on three days a week?
Hoehn says three days can work, though four days may make it easier to distribute training and maintain quality. DaCruz cautions that three days may not suit advanced trainees seeking to build muscle in a deficit, since the workload can become difficult to fit into fewer sessions.
Body Recomp Training Strategies with Brandon DaCruz | Ep 790
Q: When someone comes to you who has been working out consistently for years, but hasn't changed their physique, what's one thing that you usually spot in how they train?
DaCruz says many people mistake going to the gym and feeling tired for structured, progressive hypertrophy training. They may not use sufficient intensity, track progression, or consistently train close enough to failure.

How to Know When to End a Building Phase, Back Training & More w/ Aaron Straker | Ep. 786
