#230: Growth Starts Where Comfort Ends


Listen Later

You've seen them in every gym. Perfect form. Full range of motion. Three sets of ten, week after week. From the outside, everything looks right. But there's a problem Arnold has noticed for six decades—and science just confirmed he was onto something.

In this episode, Arnold shares what Muhammad Ali told him about counting reps, why easy sets send almost no growth signal to your muscles, and the mindset shift that will not just improve your workout but could help you change your entire life.

Plus: research on three studies that finally explain why two people doing the exact same exercise get completely different results.

Also in this episode:

Why drinking coffee before breakfast after a rough night can spike your blood sugar 50% higher (and the simple timing fix).

Research showing snack portions have grown 45% in recent decades.

And the surprising low-tech method that beat every wearable at predicting workout fatigue.
