What is up, everyone? Welcome back to the fitness stuff for normal people podcast. I'm Mariana.

And I'm Tony. And the truth is the fitness industry right now is not what it could be. It's become

something built on unrealistic expectations, aesthetics, external validation, directing attention

away from what actually matters. The bottom line is we're not trying to provide just another

fitness podcast podcast but completely

change the fitness industry for the better by providing you with the knowledge and tools

to give you confidence in applying the best possible evidence-based training and nutrition

into your own lives.

Where today we'll be talking about the top five reasons you're not gaining muscle and getting stronger.

We did a very popular episode several months back on the top five reasons why you're not losing weight,

and now we're doing the flip side of the coin. These are the top five reasons that can either

make it so much harder or impossible to gain muscle and strength, even if you're doing everything else right. So I'm

excited about this one. I hope you guys are too. Before we get into it, if you really liked this

episode, the podcast in general. The easiest way you can support us is by leaving us a five-star

review wherever you're listening and follow us on Spotify.

And if you want more after each episode, join us over on premium for just five bucks a month

where you get a bonus episode every single Friday where we answer your questions.

That is less than a pumpkin spice latte at Starbucks and it'll last longer than 10 minutes.

But we do a bonus weekly episode

every Friday and so much more like a $300 Legion Athletics monthly giveaway to all of our

subscribers, complete training programs like the 12 week push pole leg program that we dropped

just a few months ago, an exclusive discounts along with so much more. Sign up for that
