About this episode

Sal Di Stefano is one part of the team that formed Mind Pump Media, one of the top fitness podcasts in the world. Sal joins Ben today to discuss why weight training is exploding right now and is the number one thing we can do for our health, well-being, and quality of life. Sal's book The Resistance Training Revolution is a passion project for him after 20 years learning, teaching and preaching about why resistance training is the fountain of youth. 

Ben and Sal discuss how to weight training correctly, how often, and how to balance that with a busy schedule to maximize your results.
