In this episode, I'm joined by Nick Smoot to revisit several classic topics pulled from old articles he wrote on my website.

We talk about whether static stretching is actually overrated, why progression still matters most for results, why not everyone needs to track their food, and how to think about cardio for fat loss.

In this Q&A, Derek and I break down how to stay strong and in shape without living in the gym. We talk about what to prioritize when time is limited, how to rebuild your relationship with training when it starts to feel like a job, and how to adjust your standards as life gets fuller without feeling like you've quit on yourself.

In this episode, I'm joined by Charlie Dickson to dig into his powerlifting journey through repeated injuries and the long road back from them. We talk about how he rehabbed and rebuilt his body, the prehab and training decisions he uses now to stay healthy, and what it was like to confront his identity when powerlifting had to take a back seat. If you've ever been sidelined by injury or forced to rethink who you are without the barbell front and center, this conversation will resonate.

In this episode, I sit down with Martha Salaya and dig into her shift from powerlifting to the wellness bodybuilding division. We talk about why she stepped away from chasing numbers, how she rebuilt her training and mindset for a sport that demands a completely different approach, and what it's like to evolve as an athlete after years in one lane. If you're in a season of change or rethinking your own goals, you'll get a lot from this one.
