If you’re strength training but not seeing the results you want, this episode is for you. Trainer David Barta joins me for a no BS conversation about what actually works when it comes to building muscle, growing your glutes and getting lean without wasting your time. We break down the four foundational strength movements everyone should master, how to go from zero strength training to intermediate safely and how to put on muscle even if you’re only training two to three days a week. We also talk about the real benefits of hitting 10k steps, the neurochemistry of workouts and the underrated fitness habits that quietly make the biggest difference.David shares honest thoughts on Pilates (including why men struggle with it), the most overrated exercises people swear by and the most common mistakes women make when they first start lifting. We also dig into how to get the nutrition piece right so you can actually get lean while building strength, without chronically under-eating or overdoing cardio.
