179: Why I Always Go Back to Strength Training

from The Nick Bare Podcast · host Nick Bare

I'm breaking down why I will always go back to strength training no matter what season, prep, or goal I'm chasing.I also make my case for why strength should always be the foundation underneath any goal whether that's a marathon, an Ironman, HYROX, or just playing with your kids. I also introduce our new Strength Collection: Pre, Pump, and Post, a three-product system built to maximize your training.CHAPTERS:0:00 "I Am a Gym Rat at My Core"2:08 Strength Has to Come First2:47 "Strength Is Never a Weakness"5:30 Introducing the Strength Collection7:43 The Eating Disorder I Don't Often Talk About10:46 Shifting My Mindset: Food as Fuel11:54 My First Pre-Workout Ever14:24 Falling in Love With Bodybuilding & Greg Plitt19:31 Launching BPN in 2012 With a $20,000 Loan26:06 The System That Inspired the Strength Collection27:45 The Age-Old Question: Gym or Running?34:16 My Best Endurance Shape Ever, But Not Strong36:46 The 700-Pound Deadlift PR I'll Never Touch Again42:08 4 Mistakes People Make With Strength TrainingORDER MY BOOK HERE: ⁠https://www.amazon.com/Go-One-More-Intentional-Life-Changing/dp/1637746210FOLLOW:Become a BPN member FOR FREE - Unlock 25% off FOR LIFE ⁠https://www.bareperformancenutrition.com/collections/performance-nutritionIG: ⁠instagram.com/nickbarefitness/⁠YT: ⁠youtube.com/@nickbarefitnessThis podcast is for informational purposes only and should not be considered legal [health or profession] advice.
