Hey everyone!

On this episode we talk about 6 things we have learned about fitness and nutrition over our years of training. These are mistakes we made along the way that lead to slower gains, injuries, frustration, wasted money, and decreased performance. Thats why we wanted to do this episode. We don't want you to have to take the long road and make the same mistakes we did.

We dive deep into whether supplements are necessary, the difference between strength and hypertrophy training, the essentials of building muscle at any point in your fitness journey, and the importance of nutrition and sleep in building muscle and strength. We have both been training long enough to know what works and what doesn't and we can help you sift through the slew of misinformation that is the fitness industry.

We tackle the science in this episode and bring you the actual facts based on the most current sports science research. Of course, there is usually not enough individual variation in sports science research so we bring our personal anecdotes as well. These are not as good as evidence-based recommendations, but there is no harm in implementing some of our strategies to see if they work for you as well. We both base our training on a mixture of research-backed claims and "anecdata" from other fitness minds we trust.

Sit back and enjoy this episode and leave us a rating if you liked this episode. Also, feel free to comment below with some of the lessons you have learned over your fitness journey.

Happy lifting everyone!
