Blain Duesing, Lawrence Neal, and Dr. John D’Ambrosio (DC)
If all roads lead to Rome in high-intensity strength training, what should you focus on to get the most meaningful results?
In a bit of a role reversal, I’d recently had the privilege of being a guest on the Fitless Podcast, hosted by Dr. John Ambrosio (DC) and Blain Duesing, and they’ve kindly let me also release the episode here on HIB.
We go into some of the biggest lessons in strength training and in business that I’ve learned, including the right mindset when it comes to training and gains, common mistakes that HIT business owners make, low training volume with higher results, peptides, and more.
If you want to see me in the hot seat and what hear I’ve learned from asking HIT experts questions throughout the years, please check out this episode, courtesy of John and Blain!
