#06-Overrated vs Underrated: Stairmaster, Pilates, Sauna Suits, Squats & Gym Recording + Anime Takes

In this episode of the Beyond the Training (BTT) Podcast, Bishop and Reggie kick off a brand-new series: Overrated vs Underrated — where we call out fitness trends, gym culture debates, and even anime takes… and give our unfiltered opinions. We start off with real life: a brutal snowstorm in Jersey, shoveling “as cardio,” and waking up the next day feeling locked up with back pain. From there, we get into injuries, staying consistent, mobility work, and why sometimes the “best workout” is the one that doesn’t break you. Then we jump into the main event: Overrated vs Underrated (BTT-style). Disclaimer: this is our opinion — disagree if you want, but pull up in the comments. 🔥 Topics we debate: Stairmaster vs Running/Treadmill (cardio wars) Pilates (underrated? overrated? depends how you use it) Sauna suits / sweat bands / waist trainers (water weight vs real fat loss) Foam rolling (placebo or game changer?) Recording gym content (form checks vs entitlement in shared spaces) Squats (king of leg exercises… but dangerous if you do it wrong) And then we switch it up: One Piece overrated or underrated? Naruto vs Bleach vs One Piece debates Boruto catching strays (dinosaur arc madness 😭) And to close: Which anime character matches your gym mindset? (Toji, Aizen, Yami… and yes, Goku.) If you like gym talk with real opinions, real jokes, and real life context — this series is for you. ✅ Like, subscribe, and rate the podcast 5 stars if you’ve been vibing 💬 Comment: Whose takes are better — Bishop’s or Reggie’s?
