Show Notes/Description

What happens when you combine obsessive consistency, pain-free movement, and training intensity with surgical precision? Eric Janicki joins Ben Pakulski on the Muscle Intelligence Podcast, for a powerful deep dive into the evolution of his training philosophy, from early football grit and aesthetic modeling to intelligent bodybuilding and elite physique coaching. Eric shares the personal journey that shaped his mindset, why full range of motion changed his physique, and how intentional training helped him eliminate chronic joint pain. They explore nuanced programming, the psychology of progression, and the future of fitness tech and coaching. Whether you're an aging athlete, bodybuilder, or everyday lifter, this episode will change how you train forever.
