In this episode, I'm joined by Coach Gill for a deep-dive into how training actually works — beyond just picking a workout style or showing up to lift.

Most people think that choosing the right modality is enough. Strength training? Check. Weights? Check.

But if you're stuck in a plateau or feel like your workouts should be working better than they are, this episode explains why.

Coach Gill breaks down:

• Why training volume matters more than most people realize

• The difference between training for strength vs hypertrophy (muscle growth)

• How phase progressions impact results over time

• Why exercise selection isn't random — and how it affects muscle development

• What separates "good" training from truly effective, results-driven programming

This episode is perfect for anyone who's already working out consistently but wants to go from good to great, build muscle more efficiently, and finally understand why their program works — or doesn't.

If you've ever thought, "I'm doing all the right things… so why am I not seeing more change?" — this conversation will connect the dots.
