Athletic performance—and success in the weight room—comes down to four key components: physical, technical, tactical, and psychological. Miss the mark on any one of these, and you’re leaving results on the table.

The trouble is that most lifters focus heavily on the physical while often ignoring the mental side entirely. That’s a mistake.

In this podcast, I focus on the psychological side of strength training—what mental training is, how to implement it, and the real impact it can have on performance. Sit back, relax, and enjoy the episode.

In this Q&A episode, Derek and I answer your best questions from the month. We break down the influencer vs. expert debate—do you really need coaching experience to give good advice, or is looking the part enough? We also delve into the tension between science and real-world experience, how to approach biomechanics without overcomplicating your training, and the most effective way for lifters to approach hybrid events like HYROX without burning out. Plus, we lay out our vision for a Saturday men’s workout—why it works, what it looks like, and how building a community around training could be the missing piece for a lot of guys.
