What's up, brothers? Welcome back to the fitness stuff for normal people podcast. I'm Tony.

And I'm Mariana. And let's be real, the fitness industry right now, it kind of sucks.

It's become something that is entirely based on doing whatever you can just to drive page views or clicks at this point.

Really just directing attention away from the things that actually matter. So no, we're not trying to provide just another

fitness podcast, but actually give you the knowledge and tools. So you have the confidence to

apply the best possible training and nutrition into your own life. Where today, if you've been

lifting weights for any amount of time, you have undoubtedly heard of advanced training techniques.

We're talking about things like drop sets, supersets, mile rep sets, or even the newer

trending long length partials, to name a few. I used to use these kind of techniques all

the time. They almost made up my entire programming when I was newer to the gym or an

intermediate lifter.

And these days, not quite as much because like all else, when it comes to building muscle or losing fat, simple should usually make up the majority of your programming.

But with that being said, that doesn't mean there's no place for the fancier things either.

So today, we are going to find out exactly where that is to help you build more muscle, build more strength, and even help

break through plant toes if you've been stuck for a while. And as always, before we jump

in, the easiest and freest way. New listening can support this show and help us spread
