Bob Hoover joins me on this episode of the Simply Fitness Podcast! We totally geeked out over how we both fell for those insane bodybuilder programs that never worked for normal humans like us.

Bob's crushing it with everyday people who want to lose fat and get strong – not elite athletes. His "triangle" approach is genius: nutrition at the top, activity and strength training at the base, with consistency tying it all together.

We got deep about how fitness teaches you to "fail forward." Bob shared his own keto struggles and how deadlifting 225 pounds builds confidence that carries over to EVERYTHING in life. The mental game is real!

We go over so many great topics today! Let me know which one helped you the most!
