In this week’s free coaching Q&A inside The Tribe, I’m answering your questions on low-carb diets while training, the best 3-day split for muscle growth, how to manage recovery on intense programs like the Cluster Muscle Method, and why consistency, not perfection, is what truly drives results.

I share how I personally set up my carbs around workouts during a photoshoot prep, break down how to know when you need a deload, and explain why most people keep spinning their wheels by constantly switching approaches instead of mastering the basics.

If you’ve ever felt stuck in your training or unsure if you’re “doing it right,” this episode will light a fire under you to take control and be the master of your own destiny.

In this episode, I sit down again with Adam Poehlmann and we dive into the truth behind fat loss, habits, and personal responsibility in fitness.

We talk about why tracking and honesty matter so much, how excuses get reinforced by fitness marketing, and why it’s so important to empower people instead of coddling them.

We also hit on social media culture, integrity as a coach, and what actually moves the needle when you’re trying to change your body, especially if you’re busy, over 30, and want sustainable results.

If you’re tired of the “it’s your metabolism” narrative and want real talk about what it takes to level up, this one’s for you.

In this episode, I went off a bit, in a good way. We talked lunges, stability, and how to actually progress your lower-body training without wrecking your knees or spinning your wheels.

I broke down why most people struggle with walking lunges, how to fix knee pain and wobbling, and when to regress an exercise to earn the right to progress it.

And yeah… I also ranted about gym ego, influencer BS, and why most people need to stop chasing “aesthetic weak-point hacks” and master fundamentals first.

If you train over 40 and want bulletproof legs, better posture, and smarter progression, without the ego, this episode’s for you.

In this episode, I sit down with coach Casey Gilbert for an honest conversation on mindset, growth, and authenticity.

We dive into how uncovering your true “why” can change everything, why mindset is the real catalyst behind physical results, and the power of tools like journaling, manifestation, and even recording messages to your future self.

Casey and I also talk about seasons of life, learning to give yourself grace, and how resistance, whether in the gym or in life, can be the very thing that makes you stronger.

This one goes beyond fitness and into the mindset shifts that help you win in every area of life.

In this Live in the Tribe session, I dig into two big topics every lifter over 30 wonders about: stomach vacuums and deloads.

I share my take on training your transverse abdominis (and why you don’t need to overcomplicate it), plus how I personally train core control for real strength and aesthetics.

Then we dive into deloads, when you actually need them, why most people don’t, and how to tell the difference between a deload and a reload. I break down what I did coming out of my last photoshoot, how I eased back in, and what signs tell you it’s time to back off.

If you’ve ever wondered how to train smarter without losing progress, and when to push versus when to recover, this one’s for you.

In this episode, I sit down with coach Jesse Rosenthal, who specializes in helping busy corporate professionals build the body and lifestyle they want without burning out.

We talk about how nutrition automation can simplify decision-making, why accountability looks different for everyone, and how to structure training so it fits into a packed schedule.

Jesse shares his journey from the corporate world into coaching, and together we break down what it really takes to get lasting results when fitness isn’t your full-time job but still a big priority.

In this episode, I dive deep into shoulder mechanics and back training, the stuff most people overlook that ends up causing pain and frustration in the gym. 

I break down why wide-grip rows might be wrecking your shoulders, how your grip and ribcage angle actually decide which part of your back or chest you’re hitting, and why chasing “influencer form hacks” can do more harm than good.

I also answer real questions from the tribe about shoulder popping, incline bench form, and nighttime shoulder pain, giving you the practical fixes that actually work. 

This one’s packed with no-BS insight for anyone over 40 who wants to lift smarter, stay pain-free, and keep building muscle the right way.

In this episode, I talk about taking action and figuring things out as you go.

So many people get stuck waiting for the “perfect plan” or let fear of failure stop them from ever starting, but the truth is, clarity only comes through action.

I share how to overcome self-doubt, build momentum through small wins, and create confidence by doing, not just thinking.

This one’s all about mindset and the power of movement when you want to change your life.

We dive deep into how to balance strength and hypertrophy training using my Cluster Muscle Method, when and how to program deloads, and smart strategies for bringing up weak points without crushing recovery.

I also talk about training in your 70s as a vegetarian, and how to handle cramps after intense workouts.

As always, I keep it real with what actually works, and what doesn’t, when it comes to building muscle and living strong over 40.

In this episode, I sit down with coach Shane Warne to dive deep into injury rehab, chronic pain, and what most people (and even practitioners) are getting wrong.

We talk about how outdated protocols keep people stuck, why so many active adults over 40 are still living with nagging pain, and how shifting your approach to assessment, progression, and stability work can change everything.

Both Shane and I share our personal stories of overcoming years of pain and the lessons we now use to help our clients.

If you’ve been told pain is “just part of getting older,” this episode will give you a whole new perspective.

In this episode, I share a client training on one of the most common injuries we face after 40, shoulder pain.

Most rehab protocols are built for inactive people, not lifters, which is why so many of us stay stuck. I break down the real causes behind nagging shoulder issues, why stabilizers matter more than size, and how to train your traps, serratus, and external rotators to keep your shoulders strong and pain-free.

You’ll also hear how to progress warm-ups, when behind-the-neck pulldowns actually make sense, and how to think beyond generic rehab to truly bulletproof your shoulders for lifting and life.

In this week’s Live in the Tribe, I talk about the power of living in a state of appreciation, even when life throws curveballs like flooded boats, stolen wallets, or rude strangers.

I share how shifting from reacting to responding can make you “unf*ckwithable” no matter what comes your way.

Then I dive into your training questions, covering myo-reps, cluster sets, peptides, rep speeds, deloads, and how to handle sore joints without losing progress.

This one’s a mix of mindset and muscle, and I think you’ll walk away with tools you can use immediately inside and outside the gym.

I share my own experience of going through the “flat stage,” why patience is everything during a cut, and how honesty with your habits makes or breaks your progress.

I also dive into cardio choices for preserving muscle, and wrap up with some gratitude for the tribe and the listeners, because this podcast just got ranked #2 in Canada among personal training podcasts.

I share the story of my journey through the fitness industry, overcoming backstabbing, insecurity, and negativity, and how I reclaimed my confidence by showing up unapologetically as myself.

You attract what you are.
