In this episode of the Absolute Strength Podcast, Derek and I answer listeners' questions. Sit back, relax, and enjoy!

Questions on the show:

1. I've been lifting heavy and focusing on powerlifting for a while now—do I need to mix in lighter phases either for better strength gains or for longevity, or can I keep pushing low reps year-round?
2. What's the easiest way to start tracking macros when you're new to flexible dieting?
3. When it comes to the deadlift, would you classify it more as a back exercise or a leg movement? Or, does it depend on your goals?
4. What's one mistake you've made as a coach or in your own training that really taught you something important?
5. Hey guys, love the show. My girlfriend wants me to help her get into lifting. However, she has never set foot in a gym before. My question is, how can I help a beginner start their fitness journey without making it feel too overwhelming?
6. I'm 43, and have been training pretty consistently for twenty years. I still enjoy going to the gym, but I don't feel like I'm getting anywhere. When progress slows down or feels nonexistent, how do you stay motivated and stick with it?

In this episode of the Absolute Strength Podcast, Derek and I discuss the big sports weekend ahead. Who is going to win, Jake Paul or Mike Tyson? We disagree. Derek is with Mike, I say Jake. We also talk about some big NFL games before getting into the show's main topic: our all-time favorite training splits. What are the best 2,3,4,5, and 6-day splits? Sit back, relax, and enjoy.

In this episode of the Absolute Strength Podcast, Derek and I discuss how realistic it is to get super jacked and strong. Can anyone bench press 315 pounds and look like a bodybuilder? If so, what holds people back? Sit back, relax, and enjoy.

In this episode of the Absolute Strength Podcast, Derek and I answer questions from listeners. Sit back, relax, and enjoy.

Questions on the show:

1. If I have only 30 minutes to train ( 3 or 4 days a week), how would you suggest I structure my workouts to get the best results?
2. In regards to supplements for building muscle, what basics would you recommend? I already take a pre workout, protein powder, and creatine. Is there anything else I should look into?
3. I have trouble feeling my lats in pull-ups. I know they are a great exercise so I want to do them. Do you have any tips to improve my mind-muscle connection?
4. I just started training at home and I'm limited on equipment, with only a barbell and a few plates. How would you structure my workout to keep things challenging and progressive?
5. I tend to overthink every little part of my workout and end up feeling overwhelmed. What advice would you give me to simplify my approach and stay focused?

I love reading. It's one of my favorite things to do in my spare time. But, when you get deep into reading, one of the first issues you run into is what to read next. So, I find myself perusing "best book" lists quite frequently. Here is my attempt to throw my hat into the ring.

My goal is to create a well-rounded list. Of course, I'm limited to only books I've read. Admittedly, I have yet to read all the classics, but lists filled with those are a little pretentious anyway. I mean, come on, who has actually read The Wealth of Nations, War and Peace, or Ulysses?

Since my audience is primarily men, the list includes 51 books every man should read. I divided them into five categories: fiction, money, personal development, biographies, and fitness.

Sit back, relax, and enjoy!
