Zach and Alex go deep on training philosophy—debating rep ranges, neurological load, and what really creates progress in the gym. They talk through the science behind “bang for your buck” training, why some sets don’t matter, and how to balance intensity with recovery over a lifetime.
Later in the episode, they explore confidence, auto-regulation, and the importance of learning how your body actually works. From physics to philosophy, this one covers it all—lifting smarter, not just heavier.
