2877: The Best Workout Strategy If You Want to Lose Weight (Step by Step)

In this episode the guys break down the best workout strategy for people who want to lose weight and keep it off — and why most people are going about it completely backwards. They cover why strength training beats cardio for fat loss head to head, how to structure your training as a full body split or 1–2 lifts per day, why compound movements are the only ones that matter at this stage, hitting 8,000 steps through lifestyle rather than scheduled cardio, and simple diet steps that create a natural calorie deficit without counting calories.
