    Is there such a thing as too strong? In this episode of The Train With The Best Podcast, Craig Hoffman and Chris Gorres break down the point of diminishing returns in strength training. Sure, getting stronger is crucial, but at what point does chasing a bigger one-rep max start hurting more than it helps?

    The "Dad Bod" Myth - Why Athleticism Is Misunderstood and Can't Be Seen | Episode 275

    Before Luka Doncic was traded, we talked about the mismatch between athleticism and aesthetics, especially amongst elite athletes. From Pat Mahomes to Luka Doncic to Nikola Jokic, we talk about how what it means to be athletic is misunderstood, and definitely can't be seen with the human eye based on cut up abs or ripped arms. In doing so, we talk to Rustin Dodd of The Athletic bout his piece on the subject!  Read his story here: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/6096850/2025/01/30/patrick-mahomes-nikoa-jokic-body-athletes-workout/ Support the show Follow the show on Instagram: instagram.com/trainwiththebest21.
