Rob, Wendy, and Larry break down the most common fitness programming mistakes they see — from trainers, gyms, and clients alike. Whether you're following the latest fitness craze, a franchise model, or something you saw on social media, chances are your program is missing some fundamentals.
In this episode, the crew covers:
- Movement quality — why rushing through reps is a recipe for injury and stalled progress
- Progressive overload — the principle too many programs completely ignore
- Poor exercise pairing and sequencing — why fatiguing the wrong muscles first sabotages your workout
- Always going hard — the case for lower-intensity days and why your ego is working against you
- Chasing fatigue vs. chasing adaptation — and why they're not the same thing
- No long-term structure — random programming gets random results
- Too much variety — why muscle confusion is more myth than method
If you want a program that actually builds you up instead of burning you out, this one's for you.
