#63 - Train Smart & Hard
Wed May 14 2025
If you search online for training advice, you’ll find a major divide on what’s considered the most optimal way to train. Should you use a certain variation or always stick to full range of motion? One camp only programs a specific way and insists on a single training modality.
But many people forget one of the most important components: training hard.
You can have the “best” exercises and follow the “best” program, but if you’re not pushing yourself, what’s the point? Are you just going through the motions?
In today’s episode, we break down how to know if you’re truly training both smart and hard. And yes—we finally settle the long-standing internet debate: who would win—100 men or 1 gorilla? (We all know the answer.)
