The FIT40 Podcast #344: The Myth of Perfect Form, Newbie Gains & Single-Leg Training w/ Sean Hyson
In this episode of the FIT40 Podcast, I sit down with strength coach and author Sean Hyson to talk about the truths behind sustainable fitness. We cover why desire matters more than discipline, how small daily habits compound into lasting results, the science of lean bulking, and why most beginners don’t need complex programs to see progress. We also dig into single-leg training, shoulder health, and the myths around perfect form, genetics, and Hollywood physiques. If you’re over 40 and want clarity on what really works in fitness, this conversation is packed with takeaways you can use today.
