  • Ep138. If I We're You, This Is How I Would Train.
    Feb 17 2025

    Tired of second-guessing your workouts? Struggling to make progress with limited time?


    In this episode, I break down EXACTLY how I would train if I were in your shoes—balancing career, family, and real-life responsibilities.


    You don’t need to train 5-6 days a week or spend hours in the gym to get stronger, leaner, and more athletic after 35. Instead, I’ll show you why a3x per week full-body approach (with a smart Push/Pull/Full split) is the most effective, flexible, and sustainable way to train for busy professionals.


    🔹 Why full-body 3x per week beats traditional splits
    🔹 How to structure workouts for maximum efficiency
    🔹 The Push/Pull/Full method for strength and muscle
    🔹 How to stay consistent even when life gets hectic


    If you're ready to train smarter, not harder, this episode is for you.
