February 22, 2020 at 3:44 PMReally enjoyed this. There is so much misinformation about weight training and body building out there the easy tips prescribed here are critical.

April 17, 2020 at 8:05 AMThanks for the intro to S.M.A.R.T goal planing I’ve been looking more into it and it seems like a very effective way to set goals. I really liked the 6 P’s. I’m going to definitely start using the negative of a rep more, and try squeezing the bar during my lifts to see what type of difference it makes. I will say listening to this makes me realize I need to stop lifting so heavy because you’re right no one cares how much you lift unless you’re going out for worlds strongest man. The last thing is I need to end my master cleanse…I’m already a week into it and I wish I heard this sooner! (just kidding).
