Ep. 357 Q&A - Stop Saying “I’ll Start After the Holidays,” Clear Protein vs Whey, Home Gym Must-Haves, and Why Your Machines Aren’t Equal – The Coaches Roundtable

Summary

Chase and Chris are back for another Coaches Roundtable Q&A—and they’re calling out the biggest lie we tell ourselves this time of year: “I’ll start after the holidays.” If you’ve ever hit pause in November and hoped to restart in January, this episode is your wake-up call. The guys also break down machine workouts vs. Smith machine, clear protein vs. whey, and what gear to prioritize when building your home gym. Plus, they call out sneaky marketing tricks from popular meal brands and protein companies.

Get ready for some tough love, practical tips, and a few hilarious moments (including a story about blended chicken shakes 🤢).
