About this listen

Strength training and hypertrophy for lifters who want results now and longevity later. Evidence-based programming, sports psychology, and real-world coaching for people training for life.

Hosted by Chris Marzarella, a strength coach with over four decades under the bar, Powerbuilding 365 cuts through fitness noise with proven principles, applied science, and hard-earned experience. No influencer hype. No shortcuts. No recycled talking points.

Each episode covers strength training, hypertrophy, recovery, deloading, mindset, and long-term sustainability for lifters, competitors, and everyday athletes who refuse to burn out or break down. This is where fundamentals matter, mental resilience is trained deliberately, and progress is measured in years, not weeks.

Faith, discipline, and accountability show up here as structure, not slogans.

“As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another.” Proverbs 27:17.

If you’re tired of gimmicks and chasing the next new thing, this podcast isn’t here to entertain you. It’s here to make you better.

Strength. Hypertrophy. Training for life.

    Nutrition Part 2: Maintenance Is Not a Phase. It’s a Skill
    Jan 29 2026

    Most people don’t fail dieting. They fail maintenance.

    This episode breaks down why holding your weight is harder than losing it, why boredom and scale noise wreck otherwise smart lifters, and why maintenance is something you practice, not wait through. Cookies are allowed. Screwing up is allowed. Panicking is not. If you’ve ever felt lost without a goal or tempted to tinker when nothing is wrong, this one’s for you.

    Jan 26 2026

    Recomposition isn’t broken. Your expectations are.

    This episode explains why eating at or near maintenance while trying to lose fat and keep muscle feels mentally harder than a bulk or a cut. We break down why the feedback sucks, why the scale messes with your head, and why most people panic-adjust their way out of progress. If recomp has ever made you feel like nothing is happening, this episode explains exactly why.

    Ready. Aim. Play: Precision Is Recovery
    Jan 23 2026

    Most lifters think recovery means shutting off. That works… until it doesn’t.

    In this episode, Chris breaks down why precision, not inactivity, calms the nervous system, improves recovery, and even builds more muscle. From video games to the shooting range to mind–muscle connection research, this episode explains why focused engagement works better than doing nothing.

    If you train hard, compete, and live under real stress, this one matters.
