Ep. 321 Q&A – Lifting in a Cut, Forcing Motivation, Vibration Plate Myths, and Why Waiting to Get Healthy Is a Mistake – The Coaches Roundtable

31 minutes

Summary

In this episode, Chase and Chris dive into real questions from listeners about fitness, mindset, and motivation. They explain how you can still lift weights without building extra muscle, and what to do if you're trying to cut down fat and look more defined.

They also talk a lot about mindset—how to make yourself want to do things like eating better and working out. You don’t have to be perfect, and you don’t even have to feel like it all the time. You just need to keep taking the next step.

And yes, they even talk about those new vibration plates—are they worth it? Spoiler: not really. They explain why good nutrition and regular walks are much more helpful.

By the end, you’ll feel more inspired to make healthy choices, even when they’re hard. Because every small step forward matters.
