Jan 31, 2025

Redundant exercises could be holding back your progress. In this episode, Schultze and Jorge break down why doing more isn’t always better and how smarter programming can eliminate wasted effort. From warm-ups to exercise selection, we explore the fine line between reinforcing movement patterns and just spinning your wheels. Plus, a few rants about pirates, bad drivers, and gym annoyances. Tune in and start training with more intent.
