He tracks his calories, hits his protein, plans his cuts, and sticks to the plan.

And yet he's still never been able to get as lean as he wants...

Which means he's always stopped his bulks short of the time needed to grow enough muscle to make a difference.

Sound familiar?

In this week’s episode, we dig into why.

Because this isn’t a motivation problem, nor a knowledge problem either, it’s what happens when you’re doing almost everything right, but missing a few key pieces that are holding you back.

Ryan, 47, a father of four, is on a mission he calls Project 50.

He started strength training three years ago and has done an incredible job transforming his health, dropping 30 lbs — which I'd estimate means 40 lbs of fat loss and 10 lbs of muscle gain. Bravo!

But now he’s stuck.

Not because he doesn’t know what to do, but arguably, because he knows (and consumes) too much, and he can't decide.

Should he keep cutting? Start a lean bulk? Take a break?

Every option seems right… and wrong… at the same time.

In this episode, I help Ryan move forward from his decision paralysis.

We talk about:

• Is it time to purge his algorithm of fitness content?
• How to decide between cutting and bulking (without overthinking it).
• Why the feelings about your body will never fully line up.
• The mistake that causes most people to spin their wheels for months or years.
• And how to make a decision he's actually stick to.

If you’ve ever felt stuck and unable to pick a direction, this episode is for you.

Today's guest, Sayer, is now fit, lean, and athletic. He lifts, rock climbs, officiates high-level sports, works a demanding remote IT job, and shuttles two very active kids between practices and games. From the outside, there’s nothing "wrong."

In the last three years, he has escaped the skinny fat trap by cutting and dropping 20 lbs of fat, and then successfully bulking for 14 months after that. But he now finds himself gaining and losing the same 5–10 lbs, struggling for motivation, and wondering whether to push forward, pull back, or simply protect what he’s built.

Instead of forcing another bulk or cut, we explore a different idea:

What if we turn his next phase into a 6-month experiment to find how little he can do while maintaining his physique?

Shelby, 41 from Oklahoma, describes himself as a "regular guy with regular guy problems." In reality, he’s a single dad of four boys who’s lost close to 90 pounds, rebuilt his health, and designed his life so progress happens by default — not through white-knuckle discipline.

This isn’t a transformation story driven by obsession. It’s about preventing bad decisions before they happen, making workouts unavoidable, and redefining success as the ability to say yes when life offers something physical.

In this episode, we talk about:

• Why environment beats willpower every time.
• How Shelby trains seven days a week without burning out.
• The power of "non-negotiable" routines.
• Why food rules can work better than food restraint.
• And how long-term fitness is really about capability, not leanness.

Let’s get into it.

This conversation is about what happens when that natural leanness becomes the thing holding you back. We talk about rebuilding after repeated injuries, training for robustness rather than aesthetics, and why deliberately gaining weight — even losing your abs — can be a smart investment if your real goal is staying strong, athletic, and injury-free for the next 10 to 15 years.

Nico (42), originally from Venice, Italy, but now living in Austin, has a demanding career, trains regularly, eats well, and stays lean year-round. From the outside, he’s doing everything "right."

Yet for the last five years, he’s felt quietly stuck — unable to push past the same plateau, unable to regain the muscle he once had, and slowly losing motivation despite having all the knowledge.

This wasn’t a conversation about macros or programming. It was about why progress stalls when life gets full — travel, work, relationships, comfort — and how losing momentum often has less to do with discipline and more to do with belief, tracking, and commitment.

If you’ve ever thought, "I should be further along than this," this one will hit close to home.

But for the past 7 years, he’s been back in the UK, and his fitness has gone downhill.

He’s heavier than ever, and coming off a knee replacement, a fused foot, and months of disrupted training. The gap between what he remembers and what he sees in the mirror is messing with his head.

In this episode, we unpack a problem I see all the time in experienced trainees:

When your past best physique becomes your worst comparison point.

Jon’s notunfit. He’s disciplined, consistent, and still training hard. But clinging to the idea that he should look the same at 55 as he did at 50 has sapped his motivation.

We talk through how to reset expectations without lowering standards, why rushing to get his abs back is the wrong move, and how leaning out first will make everything else easier — from joint health to cardio to long-term consistency.

In this episode, Coach Matt and I talk about how to transition from fat loss to maintenance without panic or rebound. And then we talk about finding the least training you can do to maintain your physique.

We use Fred’s story — a reader who dropped from 360 lbs to 166 — as a real-world example of what to expect when you stop cutting and start maintaining.

We cover:

• How to calculate your maintenance calories after a deficit.
• Why regaining 5–10 lbs after a cut is normal (and not fat).
• What "maximum maintenance" means — and how to find it.
• How to reduce training volume without losing muscle.
• Why maintaining your physique is often harder mentally than dieting.

This episode will help you end the "yo-yo" cycle and finally hold onto the results you’ve worked for.

Todd walked away from his career — not because he had to, but because he wanted to. He called it an "environment change." His goal was simple: finally take his health seriously, rebuild family connections, and reinvent himself.

Three months later, he’s down nearly 40 pounds and delighted with the success he has had. But he’s also confronting new challenges: how to avoid the all-or-nothing mindset, how to eat sustainably instead of obsessively, and how to set goals that last beyond the initial rush of progress.

In this episode, we dig into:

• Why Todd’s “temporary retirement” became the forcing function for change.
• How he lost 28 lbs in 34 days, and what really happened behind the numbers.
• Why aggressive dieting works short-term but fails without a plan afterward.
• How to reintroduce carbs without fear, and why this is necessary for his path forward.

In this episode, Sam and I dig into a real coaching application where someone claimed to have gained 20 pounds of muscle in six months, based on body fat devices and faulty tracking.

We talk about why this isn’t possible, the bigger problem in the fitness industry (coaches telling clients what they want to hear), and why being brutally honest up front is our preferred way to build trust.

We cover:

• Why body fat progress-tracking methods like BIA machines give false hope.
• The real pace of muscle gain for intermediates vs. beginners.
• How unrealistic expectations poison coaching relationships.
• Why intelligent people often get stuck questioning instead of doing.
• What a realistic bulk-and-cut cycle actually looks like.

If you’ve ever wondered whether your expectations are helping or hurting your progress, this episode is worth your time.

They discuss:

• Why going “all in” backfires (and what to do instead)
• The hidden danger of quick fixes and fitness fads
• Why motivation won’t save you — but systems will
• The overlooked importance of having an “exit plan”
• How information overload kills consistency

By the end, you’ll know exactly what to avoid — and how to start your next diet the right way.

When Jay first reached out, he wanted help refining his plan to build a superhero-like physique — something lean, muscular, and impressive for his young daughter to look up to.

But he is already in great shape! And what unfolded in our conversation wasn’t a discussion about macros, training splits, or the fastest way to drop fat.

Instead, it became about letting go.

Letting go of all-or-nothing thinking. Letting go of pressure to always do more. Letting go of the idea that being "less than perfect" means falling behind.

Because when we dug in, he realized that the biggest gift he could give to himself and his family right now, was learning to to do less and be ok with that.

Today I’m speaking with Fred. Fred has lost more than half his body weight — and kept it off for two decades. But this isn’t just a story of fat loss. It’s about persistence, identity, and learning to love the process long after the novelty wears off.

In this episode, Fred shares how he went from 360 pounds to a 173-pound marathon runner… and why he still doesn’t see himself as "fit" in the mirror. We talk about the long road to building a new identity, the struggle to push through plateaus, and how he’s now chasing a different kind of finish line: finally seeing his abs, for the first time ever.

Eighteen months ago, when Brian returned to Malaysia to visit his family, his parents commented they were worried about how skinny he had gotten. — They didn't realize how hard he had been working to unfatten himself after an unsuccessful dream bulk. Nonetheless, he made a promise to his family, that the next time they saw him, he’d be bigger, stronger, healthier, and more confident.

Since then, he’s been tracking his calories, weighing himself daily, and has emailed to ask me the kind of smart, self-aware questions that most people avoid.

In today’s episode, we talk about how his mindset evolved, the trap of trying to gain muscle without any fat, and what it will take to gain the 10 lbs of muscle he is after.

Let’s dive in!

While updating our Client Onboarding Guidelines this week, I found myself going off on a bit of a rant.

Fifteen years ago, my cousin died of a heart attack. I was too broke to fly back for the funeral. I’ve regretted that ever since.

So when I see dangerous diet trends gaining traction — the kind that could quietly send someone else’s cousin to an early grave — I can’t stay quiet.

Let me be clear: I don’t dispute that some people have had success with the Carnivore diet in addressing certain health issues. That’s great, and I don’t take issue with people sharing those experiences.

What I do take issue with is when those anecdotes are twisted into broad recommendations. Worse: when they’re paired with anti-science claims about seed oils, and used to justify sky-high saturated fat intakes.

This boom in saturated-fat-pushing, seed-oil-demonizing advice?

It’s not going to end well for a lot of people.

Don is 6’4”, 180 lbs, lean, and strong—but what makes his story special isn’t what you see now. It’s the journey he has been on.

He’s a 41-year-old father of three who used to weigh 250 lbs. He’s yo-yo dieted for over a decade. He even got liposuction once because he thought it would help him feel “enough.”

But what really changed his life was when he broke the all-or-nothing mindset that held him back.

And in this conversation, Don shares exactly how he did that. We explore what he needs to do next, with a particular focus on troubleshooting his training, so that he doesn't get caught in cycles of injury as he has done in the past.

Rich grew up with an identical twin brother who was lean, while he struggled with weight gain, body image issues, and cycles of yo-yo dieting. At his heaviest, he weighed over 230 lbs.

Now at 44 years old, he’s sitting at a lean and healthy 155 — and more importantly, he feels in control for the first time in his life.

We talk about how a painful breakup triggered a turning point, what he learned about sustainability after years of failure, and why he’s now chasing something new: not just maintenance, but mastery.

But can he push through the final plateau now that his health is not on the line — or will comfort hold him back?

He’s now stronger than ever but stuck in a long-standing all-or-nothing mindset, especially with weekend eating. During the week, he’s disciplined and in control. But when Friday hits, family time, baked treats, and decompression turn into overeating — not just for enjoyment, but out of habit.

Michael wants to set a better example for his four kids, especially his son, who’s now lifting and developing his own self-control. He’s wrestling with how to stay consistent, how to eat in a way that balances discipline with family joy, and how to shift from "perfect or nothing" to something sustainable.

Danny is the founder of Sigma Nutrition. He is the long-time host of the popular podcast Sigma Nutrition Radio, and a member of the Advisory Board of the Sports Nutrition Association, the global regulatory body responsible for the standardization of best practices in the sports nutrition profession.

In this conversation, we talk about the issues with interpreting research, and why, when someone is trying to persuade you of something, especially a fringe opinion, taking one or two studies they’ve linked to at face value can be a trap.

And given Danny’s background working with MMA fighters, we talk about weight-cutting, and how he makes evidence-based recommendations, despite limited research being available.

I’ve been listening to Danny’s pod for 8 years now. I consider him a good friend, and I hope you enjoy this conversation.

I first met Sohee back in 2012, and at the time, she was a Stanford student studying human biology. Then she completed a master’s in psychology and is now finishing up her Ph.D. in sports science under my co-author, Eric Helms.

Sohee’s business is evidence-based training and nutrition coaching delivered with empathy and compassion. She has moved away from the “calories and macros for everyone” approach, and her coaching now focuses on behavior change tactics and habits, which comes from her own personal struggles in the past with disordered eating.

At some point, we’re going to come across loved ones who are struggling with disordered eating, and we’ll want to help but not necessarily know how. Sohee specializes in this, which is why I invited her on to chat.

In this episode, we discuss:

👉🏻 What led Sohee to develop an eating disorder when she was only 14 years old.

👉🏻 Why black or white thinking usually backfires and increases your risk of disordered eating.

👉🏻 How to spot red flags that may indicate eating disorders.

👉🏻 The strategies Sohee uses to develop a flexible mindset with her clients.

👉🏻 And more.

And more. I hope you enjoy our conversation.

For the next part of season 4, I’ll be sitting down with some of my fitness industry friends to discuss their backstories, mistakes they’ve made, and the lessons they’ve learned along the way.

To kick things off, I’m speaking with Steve Hall. I mentored Steve when he first got into coaching online, and it’s a pleasure to see his growth and how much of an impact his business, Revive Stronger, is now having.

Steve became hooked on fitness in his university days. But was nearly killed when he was hit by a van when running.

He has since gone on to compete in natural bodybuilding while building a successful coaching and bodybuilding education business.

Here are some of the main points we discuss

-Judge a fitness expert by the content they share, not how they look.
-Muscle growth is exceptionally slow.
-Don’t rush recovery after injury.

And more.

I hope you enjoy this new series. If there’s someone you’d like me to invite on, let me know, and I’ll see what I can do!

Steve's progress photos are linked here.

Gary has been self-described skinny-fat all of his life. He lived in the United States for 15 years, where he gained a little too much weight. 

In the 10 years since his return to the UK, he’s managed to lose 50 lbs of fat and gain 10-15 lbs of muscle.

He doesn’t feel as self-conscious as he once did. But he’s not done yet.

The problem is that despite a heavy focus on numbers and data, he hasn’t made any real progress in the last year.

This has taken its toll on his motivation. He’s wondering what he needs to do, that can also work with his family life.

Let’s see if we can help.

Tyler started training when he was 21. He was fed up with the skinny-fat guy that stared at him in the mirror. In the last 10 years, incredibly, he’s gone from 195 to 245 pounds, with most of that being muscle.

He’s looking to compete in his first powerlifting competition in October, and his long-term goal is to get to 230 pounds at 10% body fat.

How can he get into his weight class without losing strength? And when should he start cutting?

Is his goal of 230 pounds at 10% body fat realistic? What is it going to take to get there? And how can he avoid the mistakes of the past?

Let’s dive in.

He’s been a runner all of his life, but only started lifting consistently at the start of this year.

He’s dropped 25 lbs in the last six months, lost 8 inches off his waist, and has got considerably stronger. He’s now plateaued and is wondering where he should go from here. Should he continue cutting? Bulk? How should he change his training program?

I think he’s in a great position. Let’s dive in.

Chris has been dieting and training in some form for the last 30 years. He said he can remember being body shamed in 5th and 6th grade for being pudgy and unathletic, and even though he knows he is in better shape than most men his age, he needs help to cure his poor body-image hump, and finally uncover his abs.

Now, as you’ll hear, he likes to experiment on himself. He said he’s tried everything. And frankly, I think that’s the problem. He’s absorbed too much bad information and he struggles to stick to anything.

Let’s see if we can help him.

A few years ago, Mark lost 60 lbs, but as he didn’t strength train, he felt a little skinny. Since he started strength training, he’s gained around 40 lbs, a lot of that muscle, and before COVID he was hitting some solid lifting numbers. He’ll be turning 50 in August and is hoping to see his six-pack for the first time.

Nick is not a tall guy, and he used to weigh close to 300 pounds. One day, he reached a breaking point and decided to do something about it, and he lost 180 pounds.

He kept the weight off for a few years, but then got married, had kids, and he’s back up to 190 and feeling a bit stuck. He works from home and has built a garage gym, and he’s wondering what he should do from here.

Let’s see if we can help him.

Stephen used to be overweight. He got into cycling because he wanted to do something healthy with his kids, and this turned into a passion for triathlons. He lost 30 pounds, plateaued, then started weight lifting and lost another 30 pounds.

He’s at a healthy weight now, but he still yearns to get a little leaner. But he’s worried that he may have permanently damaged his metabolism, because despite his activity levels, he’s maintaining weight on 2000 calories, and any time he tried to bump that up, he immediately gains weight.

Let’s see if we can help him.

Ben is a personal trainer who makes the best videos debunking nutrition myths that I’ve seen. He has a heart of gold, and I feel honored to be able to call him a friend.

Ben has just released his first book, Everything Fat Loss.

It reads very much like sitting down for a cup of tea one afternoon with one of the world's best personal trainers calmly telling you story after story, about how the research on various fat loss topics has developed over time.

So instead of having someone's pet diet method rammed down your throat, you're left knowing what options you have for chasing your fat loss goals, leaving you free to choose your own adventure.

I hope you enjoy this conversation.

[1:15]Greg on hamstring emphasis. - How much can we emphasize the hamstrings when sitting back when squatting? Greg digs into the research on forward knee travel and muscle activation. Ultimately, there tends to be a lot of similar muscle activation, even when squats look very different. Greg was initially skeptical of this research, based on his personal experience with front squats. 

[9:15]Progressive Overload. - How should we think of progressive overload and accumulation of volume when you are not a newbie anymore? Greg is not a fan of the term, “progressive overload.” Training stimulus relative to their capacity is key. 

[15:45]Not pushing yourself in the gym. - Greg thinks the majority of people train like a bitch. There is a big difference between people working directly with a coach versus given a training program. There are genetic limits, but how hard you train determines how far you can progress. 

[23:00]Is it fine to add upper body accessory work on a lower body day? - Greg says, yes. You will likely want to hit more of your upper body on different planes. 

[29:15]What are the behaviors of people who have gained a lot of strength? - They tend to have extreme personalities. They tend to have obsessions with sleep. 

[32:15]Can unilateral exercises be helpful in bringing up maximal strength in the big lifts? - Greg doesn’t think they build much strength directly, but it helps avoid injuries or hypotrophy. 

[33:45]Is it optimal to put competition lifts and secondary lifts on different days? - In a perfect world, split them up. However, generally, it is better to put them into one session (based on recovery). 

[36:15]My squat has plateaued, I’m trying to avoid leg hypertrophy, what should I do? - If your squat is not going up and you do not want to get bigger, you have simply plateaued. 

[37:15]Should strength go up during a mesocycle? - Greg thinks your strength should improve or stay flat, most of the time. However, if you are seeing a bigger drop, you are likely over-reaching. 

[38:15]How would you set up a power-building plan? - Powerlifting and power-building are pretty much the same. Power-building is just smart powerlifting training. 

[39:45]Does the body adapt to cardio and burn fewer calories over time? - Yes, your body does become more efficient, to a degree. There are relatively larger differences between individuals, but the difference within an individual is small. Unless you are a competitive endurance athlete, the differences will likely not be noticeable. 

[41:15]Is it possible to strategically drop training volume in order to resensitize for muscle growth? - Greg thinks there is something to varying the stimulus itself. However, that’s essentially why you use a periodization program. 

[43:45]Why do we stop growing(muscle)? There is no strong data to show why. Greg doesn’t know why people stop growing.

[1:45]Ben Carpenter vs. Greg Nuckols. Is Greg really in Andy’s “Top 3?” 

[2:45]Beard Care. Genetics is really what’s responsible for a great beard, according to Greg. 

[3:45]Greg’s blueberry intake. Greg usually has one pint of blueberries per day, but it is not the secret to his intelligence. Greg warns not to eat too many blueberries. 

[4:45]Is there anything Greg does not know? Greg is really good at steering a conversation into things he knows a lot about. 

[7:30]Why did Greg stop posting on YouTube? Greg feels that the YouTube fitness industry is “cancerous.” He thinks the reason is due to the highly visual nature of the content and the audience’s knowledge. 

[8:00]Greg on Protein Intake Articles: Jorn Trommelen vs. Eric Helms. Greg speaks to the differences between “Perfecting Protein Intake in Athletes” by Jorn Trommelen and “Reflecting on Five Years of Protein Research” by Eric Helms. The difference really boils down to what research you are looking at and how you balance the research. The newest research has shown that muscle protein synthesis does not show different recommended amount of protein based on lean body mass. Jorn will add an addendum to the article to clarify that if you get enough lucine to trigger muscle protein synthesis. 

[11:45].Could a protein study work for lighter powerlifters? Greg would want to see if a study would work above and below the normal range. 

[24:15]Japan’s Powerlifters. Andy and Greg talk about Powerlifters in Japan and their amazing bench pressing technique. 

[25:45]Misapplication of science to push agendas, GMO vegetables, and wide-squats. Greg thinks you should treat information and people differently. You don’t always need to agree with people, but you should treat them with respect.

[2:00]How Greg started. - The story of how Greg got started in the industry until now, where he is invited to speak internationally. Greg didn’t feel like his formal education is really meaningful. Greg learned out of genuine curiosity as to why things are true. Greg started writing on GregNuckols.com because of the encouragement of his wife. Next, Greg started to offer online training because he was moving cities. Greg decided not to go back to school, and instead worked with his wife, Lindsay, to focus on their online business. 

[3:00]Greg as a speaker. - Greg doesn’t take himself too seriously, even through his material is very data driven. Greg also doesn’t feel like he is on the same level as others with a more formal education. 

[7:30]Contradicting studies. - Greg explains why this myth exists and how he recommends you critique research findings. Greg mentions different populations, different methods of data collection, different methods of study design, or statistical change. Greg admits that single studies can be wrong, but that’s where a larger body of research is valuable. 

[9:30]People caught in an “echo chamber.” - Greg thinks that people are generally not cherry picking, but instead are caught in an echo chamber. If you are not spending time on PubMed, you are simply unaware of the information that is out there. 

[17:15]Hanlon’s Razor. - "Do not ascribe to malice what can be adequately explained by stupidity." 

[19:00]The Dunning-Kruger effect. - What you think you know versus what you actually know. People who didn’t know much on a topic tend to overestimate how much they know. Greg thinks that more people should use the statement, “I think.” 

[20:30]Keeping up with research. - How crucial is keeping up with research yourself versus relying on a research review? What Greg recommends you do. Most of the time, Greg recommends to let other people model how to interpret research. If you struggle to read a paper, it is likely not relevant to you. Research reviews, such as MASS, are also available. Sometimes, Greg feels that other people’s interpretations of papers are incorrect. 

[27:15] Thanks for listening - Andy and Greg
