Here are 5 training tricks you’ve probably ignored, but might be the secret sauce your body’s been waiting for.

In this episode of The Fit2 Perform Podcast, Bobby and Steffan break down five muscle-building hacks that sound a bit wild, slightly questionable, and definitely unconventional… yet they actually work when used properly.

Some of these are backed by science, some are backed by experience, and some are backed by… well… we still don’t fully know why they work. But they do. And we’re diving in.

💡 What We Cover:

🔥 Fasted Cardio

It works. We don’t know exactly why. But it does.

Who should use it, who shouldn’t, and what the research says so far.

🧠 Mind-Muscle Connection

EMG studies show the same muscle activation, but growth improves anyway.

Why focusing makes your reps more effective and how to do it properly.

⚡ Priming or Pre-Exhausting a Muscle

This is not about more activation. It’s about better form, better tension, and more fatigue.

We give you the rules so you don’t destroy your workout.

🥔 Low-Carb Diets for Hypertrophy

Sounds insane. And yes, there are caveats.

But in certain windows, for certain performers, it can actually help.

🏋️ Resistance Training (The King of All Hacks)

The hack that isn’t a hack. The foundation that makes every unconventional strategy actually work.

✅ Takeaways:

• Some unusual methods work because they change how you focus, not what you lift.

• Not all hacks are for all people. Timing and context matter.

• Proper resistance training is the base of everything.

• Experiment, learn your body, and don’t fear the unconventional.

Get ready for an episode that’s weird, nerdy, surprisingly useful, and guaranteed to give you at least one “oh wow” moment.
