This episode is specifically dedicated to myths I’ve heard in the last few weeks that are consistently going around, and people still believe. Majority of them actually came from the sauna where there are usually very interesting conversations taking place.
1- Metabolism crashes after 30 or 40
*At this age, everything goes downhill
The drop is slow and mostly driven by lost muscle and lower activity, not an automatic age switch.
2- Soreness means progress
You can make great gains with little to no soreness, progressive overload and consistency matter far more than how wrecked you feel.
3- BCAAs are essential for gains
Most people already get enough from regular protein sources, so extra BCAA powders rarely add meaningful benefit.
-There is no drink that will truly help you, 99% of the time it’s a waste of money
4- You must get protein right away post-workout
The anabolic window is wide; hitting your total daily protein target matters more than exact timing.
5- Fasted workouts are the best
They don’t meaningfully boost fat loss beyond a calorie deficit and often hurt performance for strength or intense training.
6- Sweating more helps you burn more fat
Sweat is just your body dumping heat so you don’t cook yourself. Fat loss comes from a calorie deficit, not from how wet your shirt gets.
7- “That jacked trainer only eats 4 eggs for breakfast and a pound of lean ground beef for lunch and dinner.”
Extra- Pickleball and classes have been helping me a ton
