“Dr. Eric Helms and Andy Morgan on The Muscle and Strength Pyramid books (3rd editions)”
If fitness feels more confusing now than it did five or ten years ago, you’re not imagining it. This week on the podcast, I’m joined by **Dr. Eric Helms** to talk about *why* we wrote the Muscle & Strength Pyramid books in the first place, and why, a decade later, we decided to completely rewrite them for the third editions. This isn’t a marketing episode. It’s a conversation about information overload, false precision, and why most people aren’t stuck because they lack effort — they’re...

“I Quit My Job to Finally Get in Shape”
Todd, a father of six, spent two decades in engineering and renewable energy. At 48, he decided it was time to re-engineer something else: his own life. Todd walked away from his career — not because he had to, but because he wanted to. He called it an "environment change." His goal was simple: finally take his health seriously, rebuild family connections, and reinvent himself. Three months later, he’s down nearly 40 pounds and delighted with the success he has had. But he’s also confronting ...

“He Lost 41 lbs on 1,000 Calories a Day: Now What?”
This week, Coach Sam joins me for a new Q&A episode. I put him to the test by asking him to answer a reader’s question — one I’d already answered myself — to see how closely his advice matched mine. **Q: “Two months ago, I finished a two-month weight loss program. I’m 6'0" and weighed 248 lbs. I lost 41 pounds and feel great. I ate twice a day — each meal was about 5 ounces of lean meat, high-fiber veggies, and berries. I was full, but my daily intake was around 1,000 kcal. I’m now in ma...

“I ate only 5 foods to get lean.”
Today, I’m joined by Chris, who went from 170 lbs to an unsustainable 118 lbs by eating just five foods and hammering cardio. That crash diet left scars — binge-restrict cycles, fear of weight gain, and self-doubt. But over the past few years, Chris has rebuilt. He bulked up slowly, learned sustainable habits, and is now cutting again — this time without obsession or burnout. We talk about breaking free from the numbers game, training smarter, and learning to live a full life while chasing pr...

“I’m 42 and wondering: Can I still grow?”
Chandler is a form of client of mine. He’s a 42 year-old father of two young boys living in Savannah, Georgia. We work together 11 years ago when he got stuck, and we managed to make a level change in his physique. In the year since Chandler has diligently kept up his training and progress tracking, tried different training styles, and tried cutting and bulking many times, but he hasn't been able to break through the plateau since. Has he reached his genetic potential? Is there something that...

“I've been from 140 to 280 and back… But why can’t I bulk?”
Joe’s beaten obesity and kept the weight off for years — but every bulk ends in failure. Why? On the face of it, it looks like he has been doing everything right. But when we dig in, there are a couple of simple tweaks I believe he can make that will help him take his physique permanently to the next level. Best of all, I'm confident he can do it within two years. We talk about: - The *moment* he decided to change after hitting rock bottom. - How CrossFit helped him kickstart his transforma...

“Set Your Expectations in Reality — Not Fantasy”
Most people don’t quit training because they don’t get results. They quit because their expectations didn’t match reality. In this episode, Sam and I dig into a real coaching application where someone claimed to have gained 20 pounds of muscle in six months, based on body fat devices and faulty tracking. We talk about why this isn’t possible, the bigger problem in the fitness industry (coaches telling clients what they want to hear), and why being brutally honest up front is our preferred wa...

"Skills Aren’t Your Problem — Mindset Is"
What if the reason you’re stuck isn’t a lack of knowledge or skills… but mindset? That’s the core idea behind Itamar Marani’s new book [*Elite Performance*](https://itamarmarani.com/book/). I'm delighted to have Itamar back on the Podcast.

In 2014, Jason went from 225 lbs to 145 lbs in just nine months — and he’s kept it off for 10 years. At 52 years old and has the physique of a boxer in his prime Jason is a former Navy rescue squadron member with the mental toughness to diet on 750 calories a day, train hard, and never look back.
