  • Episode 382’s Hacks for Muscle

    I came across this podcast in my search for adding muscle but not gaining or losing weight. Philip offered so much information that I feel confident I can gain muscle without the dreaded bulking/ cutting. I can make this fit my life. Thanks, Philip! I will be a regular listener going forward.

  • Refreshing approach

    It was so refreshing to hear a sensible balanced approach to finding a solution to not meeting strength and fat loss goals. I especially like that the host doesn’t not suggests a once sized fits all approach and that he provides actionable steps to getting to the root cause. I learned not to blame my metabolism for everything 😂

The RAW TRUTH About Fitness, AI, and Influencers (Adam Schafer of Mind Pump) | Ep 394
Q: Why are people having so much trouble putting all that wonderful knowledge to use and doing it consistently?
