Beyond training, this episode gets into the weeds on:
- Almonds vs. peanuts for micronutrient support
- Hip stability vs. hip action for runners
- Tendon rehab and injury prevention through tolerable stimulus
- Pre-run breakfast setups that actually keep you fueled
- Rest periods, rep schemes, and how to pick the right approach for your goal, fat loss, hypertrophy, or both
With plenty of laughs, smart-assery, and one very solid Arnold impression, I keep it real, keep it raw, and give you the coaching insights most programs leave out.
