Most people train like elite athletes without understanding the risks and it’s holding them back.

In this episode, we break down why elite training methods often fail for the average person and what actually works. Learn the key differences between performance training and general fitness, the role of genetics, and how to build a foundation for lifelong health and strength.

John Madsen, former NFL tight end turned high-performance coach, shares his unique journey from never playing high school football to making it to the league. Alongside Ben Oliver, Ryan Stevens, and Dr. Taylor Waters, the discussion dives into the realities of athletic training, nutrition, and the mental shifts required to achieve peak performance at any level.

If you're serious about getting stronger, avoiding injuries, and training with purpose, this episode will change how you approach fitness.
