Fitness has never been more popular — or more confusing.

In this full-length Between Sets episode, we break down modern fitness culture and everything that comes with it: the good, the bad, and the straight-up misleading.

We cover:

• The biggest controversies in fitness right now
• What social media gets wrong about health and aesthetics
• Where discipline crosses into obsession
• Advice that sounds good online but fails in real life
• What being actually healthy looks like long term
• How to filter trends without becoming cynical or extreme

This is an honest, balanced conversation recorded while training — no dogma, no influencer scripts, just real talk from people living inside fitness culture every day.

If you’ve ever wondered whether you’re doing “too much,” not enough, or just following the wrong advice — this episode will help you zoom out and see the bigger picture.

🎙️ Between Sets
💪 Fitness, mindset, culture — between the sets

Quick Pumps are back — and this one’s built for arguments.

In this rapid-fire Agree or Disagree: Fitness Edition, we throw out unpopular gym opinions while training and react on the spot.

We cover takes like:

• Cardio is overrated
• You don’t need to train every day
• Most people train too hard and recover too little
• Social media has ruined fitness expectations
• Looking fit doesn’t mean you’re healthy

Short, honest, and meant to spark debate — agree with us or roast us in the comments.

🎙️ Quick Pumps = short episodes
💪 Real gym talk between sets
🔥 Built for clips

Before the programs, the playlists, and the gym routines — there was inspiration.

In this episode of Between Sets, we break down what actually got us into fitness in the first place — from childhood influences to pop culture moments that lit the spark.

We talk about:
Anime characters, movies, and TV shows that made us want to train
Action heroes, athletes, and larger-than-life personalities
How pop culture shaped our idea of strength, discipline, and aesthetics
The difference between fantasy motivation and real-world consistency
How inspiration evolves as you grow older in fitness

This episode is part nostalgia, part real talk — recorded while training — and it dives into why so many people fall in love with fitness long before they ever step into a gym.

If pop culture ever made you want to train harder, look stronger, or become more disciplined — this one’s for you.
