Today we’re going beyond sets, reps, and macros to explore the deeper questions of fitness. Is the future of training going to be more about your mind than your body? If you had to keep just one lesson from all your years of experience, what would it be? We also break down the one supplement worth recommending and map out the perfect week of training for overall health, not bodybuilding, not powerlifting, but true longevity and strength for life.

Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned lifter, this episode will challenge how you think about health, training, and what really matters in the long run.

In this episode of the Strong AF Club Podcast, we're challenging the highlight-reel version of strength.

From the obsession with before-and-after photos to the quiet discipline behind closed doors — we ask the questions that most people avoid: What does real progress actually look like? Can you be both strong and vulnerable? And is it even possible to build lasting strength without a support system?

We’re going beneath the surface, past the PRs and photo ops, to talk about the kind of strength that isn’t always visible — but always real.

If you're tired of surface-level conversations and want something raw, reflective, and genuinely empowering, this one’s for you.

In Episode 27 of the Strong AF Club, Nate and Asim dig into the heart of what strength really means. Does chasing personal records build resilience — or just inflate the ego? Do habits outside the gym matter more than numbers inside it? Have recovery tools become another product to buy instead of a practice to master? And if you had to choose for life — would you take unbreakable mental toughness, or unstoppable physical strength? This episode is for anyone questioning what being “strong” truly looks like.

In Episode 26 of the Strong AF Club, Nate and Asim imagine a world where the barbell disappears. What would strength look like without the weights? Why is fitness so often cut off from creativity and spirituality? And how does being strong change the way people see you outside the gym? The hosts debate which fitness trends deserve to die out , and wrap it up by building their dream gym. This episode is all about redefining strength when the bar is gone.

In Episode 25 of the Strong AF Club, Nate and Asim go deep into the pillars of lasting success in training and life. We weigh the dangers of overtraining versus under-recovering, debate whether physical or mental resilience matters more, and challenge the common belief that consistency is all about discipline. To close, we each share the three non-negotiable habits we’d keep for the next five years to build our best lives. This one’s about playing the long game, staying strong, and making progress that lasts.

In this episode of the Strong AF Club Podcast, Nate and Asim get real about what strength means in a world flooded with trends, noise, and contradicting advice.

They unpack the meaning of being “Strong AF” today, how to spot real value vs. viral fluff, the mindset gems that stuck with them from training, and answer a viewer-submitted question from Kya about the “treat yourself” mentality.

In this episode, Nate and Asim dive into the deeper side of fitness—the stuff no macro tracker or PR board can answer. Are we over-optimizing our lives and losing the ability to just live? Have we tied our self-worth to aesthetics, strength, or grind culture? And are we preparing for long-term freedom—or just chasing short-term validation?

We unpack the hidden lessons the gym teaches us, call out the biggest red flags in fitness culture, and ask: What are we really building… and is it enough?

In this episode, Nate & Asim dive into some brutally honest questions about modern fitness culture. Is our grind for gains actually making us mentally weaker? Are we lifting for progress, or just for likes? We also dive into the warped relationship social media has built around fitness, the fine line between cheat meals and emotional eating, and whether “bulking season” is just a cry for help.

In this raw and introspective episode, Nate and Asim ditch the surface-level gym talk to explore the mental weight lifters quietly carry. From hidden ego battles to the fear of falling behind, they unpack what no one puts on their Instagram story—but everyone in the gym feels. Whether you’re a coach, athlete, or lifelong lifter, these five questions will make you reflect on the real reason you keep showing up.

In this episode of the Strong AF Club Podcast, Nate and Asim dig into the mindset behind sustainable fitness. From why most people fail to how you can stay consistent for years - not weeks - they'll tackle questions that go beyond sets and reps. Whether you're a beginner, a seasoned lifter, or somewhere in between, this conversation will help you rethink what success in the gym really looks like.
