It's our 300th episode, so we're doing an epic Q&A!

Like King Leonidas facing the Persian army, we're battling fitness misinformation with 30 razor-sharp answers to your most burning questions.

I'm tackling supplement efficacy, training myths, nutrition controversies, and the truth about building muscle and losing fat... all with the brutal efficiency of a Spartan phalanx.

From Instagram physique realities to whether cardio kills gains, these answers (as always) bring you evidence-based advice that works in the real world.

Main Takeaways:

  • Creatine has benefits beyond lifting
  • Natural physiques with visible abs are achievable even after 40
  • Progressive overload is essential for gains but can be achieved through multiple methods
  • Spot reduction of fat is largely a myth, but spot enhancement is very real and effective
  • The "eat clean or die" could be holding you back
  • ...and tons more!

Timestamps:
