Description

Think strength training is just about picking things up and putting them down? Think again.

In this episode, we crack open the human body like a high school physics class—except way more fun, and with fewer awkward lab partners. From overhead presses to single-leg movements, we explore how your body works like a system of levers, fulcrums, and force—and why changing how you move matters more than chasing the heaviest weight in the room.

You’ll learn:

  • How simply changing your position makes the same movement wildly harder
  • What we really mean when we say “add a sprinkle”
  • And why compensation isn’t failure—it’s feedback


If you’re ready to train smarter, move better, and geek out (just a little) about the science behind your strength, this episode was made for you.
