In this solo episode, Brad breaks down five of the most overrated exercises you see people doing all the time in the gym. These aren’t flashy TikTok moves—these are the staples that have been passed down for years, but might not be giving you the results you think they are.

Whether it’s poor mechanics, ego lifting, or just outdated thinking, Brad dives into why these exercises are often misused or misunderstood—and what smarter, more effective alternatives you can do instead.

If you’re serious about training with purpose and intention, this episode will help you rethink your programming and get more out of every workout.
