Today, I interviewed a newer friend of mine—Alex Bush. Alex is a co-owner of Physique Development and he is an expert on all things training related.

I wanted to get him on here to give a little bit of a different perspective on training because training is such an important part of weight loss and transformation—if your training is not in the right place, it will yield very different results than if your training is set up correctly.

We talk about not only training with the optimal program/plan—and doing things the best way possible—but also training in a practical way. Where does 'optimal' training and 'practical' training intersect for the average person?

Alex gives some amazing insights around the most common questions our listeners have about training, like what constitutes a good workout, how to prepare yourself mentally to go into a workout, how to select the right weight, and much more. 

I'm super pumped for you all to hear this episode, so let's get into it!
