There are different diet strategies for burning body fat depending on where a person is at in their journey. In this episode, I talk about these three different "levels".

I like to think about the hypothetical question of "best exercise if you had to pick just 1 to do forever". In this episode, I explain my somewhat controversial pick.

As personal trainers and everyday gym-goers, there are quite a few exercises that are not that useful but that we still love to do. In this episode, I talk about three of them.

In the modern world, most people have underdeveloped back muscles, and often struggle to train them properly. In this episode, I explain how the average person can get a much stronger back and improve posture.

In this episode, I tell a story (without mentioning names) about a situation that exemplifies an issue that the majority of people struggle with.

There is still a common myth in the fitness industry, among both women and men, that lifting heavy will give people a look that is "too bulky". In this episode, I talk (mostly rant) about why this is not the case.

Building a strong back is very important. In this episode, I explain which back exercises are my favorites.

In the gym this morning during my workout, I was humbled when I injured myself during an exercise, and it seems to have been karma based on some the things I said a few days ago in another episode.

Exercise is a key component of building and preserving muscle, but hitting your protein targets is arguably more important. Most personal trainers recommend a high amount of protein each day. How much do you actually need? Find out in this episode.

The barbell back squat is labeled by some trainers as the "king of all exercises" or at least the king of lower body exercises. However, some trainers avoid it like the plague when training clients. In this episode, I weigh the pros and cons of the barbell back squat and talk about who should do it and when.

I spent three years in my early 30s making a concerted effort to build as much muscle as possible. In this episode, I talk about realistic expectations for how much muscle you can build.

I struggled with digestive, gastrointestinal issues throughout most of my teens and twenties. Now in my mid-thirties, I have the issues much more under control, and want to share a couple of tips with you.

In this episode, I teach you how to build a physique that looks like a high-level professional athlete's physique, even if you are a "regular person" who works a "regular job".

In this episode, I teach you how to train and eat to get the body that is theoretically (and anecdotally) the most attractive, with slight differences for men and women.

Fitness can be described as something that is both a science and an art. In this episode, I explain why through several examples.

Sean talks about the most important elements of getting the body you want, and explains why you should ignore many of the "biohacks" that you will likely hear about on the internet.
