Chris shares his journey from military service to coaching high-performing men, and how the lessons of combat, structure, resilience, and responsibility now guide his work with clients seeking more than just physical results.

Together, Chris and I dive into the unspoken challenges men face: the pressure to always perform, the isolation that often comes with success, and the lack of community that leaves many drifting. We talk about the importance of brotherhood, accountability, and creating standards for yourself when the world stops holding you to any. Chris also opens up about his own moments of struggle, and how daily disciplines, like cold plunges, journaling, and spiritual reflection, keep him grounded in his mission.

This episode is about more than fitness; it’s about integrity, inner strength, and doing the hard work when no one’s watching. If you're a man who knows he’s capable of more but doesn’t quite know where to start, this conversation will wake you up and light a fire.

We also discuss the importance of staying grounded, training around injury, the mindset needed to remain consistent through different life seasons, and how to use your story and voice to connect with the next generation of lifters.

Jeff and I open up about the emotional toll of always being the strong one, the stigma around seeking support, and why so many men crash silently under the weight of expectations. We discuss how therapy, journaling, vulnerability, and boundary-setting aren’t signs of weakness, but real tools for self-mastery and long-term growth. From the rise in male suicides to the burnout that happens when physical health is pursued without emotional care, this episode challenges the outdated definitions of masculinity and offers real pathways to healing, strength, and wholeness.

If you’re a man in your 30s, 40s, or 50s who’s quietly carrying more than you’re sharing, or a partner trying to understand that weight better, this conversation offers the kind of honesty, reflection, and guidance most men never get to hear but desperately need.

In this empowering episode of the Tom the Trainer Fitness Podcast, I sit down with women’s body recomposition coach Andreia Carvalho to unpack the myths that keep women stuck in the cycle of overtraining and under-eating.

Andreia shares how she transformed her approach after years of extreme dieting, even winning a bikini competition, only to find more sustainable, effective results with a minimalist strategy.

We dive into the power of building muscle, simplifying your routine, training with intensity (not frequency), and ditching fitness trends that don’t serve real life.

Whether you’re a seasoned lifter or stuck in the "more is better" trap, this episode delivers real-talk strategies you can apply now.

Next, I unpack why lean pork isn’t often seen in meal plans, diving into digestion, nutrient partitioning, and the historical bias baked into bodybuilding culture. I explain how foods like pork can fit into flexible meal planning for general population clients, even if they're not always “optimal” from a physique competitor’s perspective. From there, the conversation shifts to mobility, what it actually is, why it's different from flexibility, and how it plays a crucial role in both performance and muscle growth. I share my own experiences with mobility training, how it’s baked into my coaching programs, and how using movements like roundhouse kicks and deep stretch finishers can improve both training output and joint health.

I also break down my take on training with hernias, offering advice on isolations, pre-fatiguing, and using single-leg exercises as safer hypertrophy tools, all while emphasizing that medical advice comes first. The episode finishes with a detailed explanation of how to rehab hamstring tendinopathy, covering exercise progression, load tolerance, and how to reintroduce cardio methods like the elliptical, treadmill, and cross-trainer safely and effectively.

Whether you're managing joint pain, trying to eat smarter, or just want to feel and move better in your 40s and beyond, this episode is a masterclass in applied fitness coaching.

Together, Pat and I explore how training intensity, joint health, recovery, and stress management need to adapt as men age. We talk about why full-body training is the most effective foundation for most guys over 40, how to avoid burnout while still pushing hard, and why consistency beats perfection every time. We also discuss deload strategies, programming around life’s seasons, and how to keep workouts effective without becoming a second source of stress.

The conversation also touches on the mental and emotional impact of training. From managing guilt over missed workouts to the psychological shift that happens when men begin training for longevity, energy, and life performance, not just aesthetics, this episode is packed with wisdom and actionable takeaways.

Pat also pulls back the curtain on how he builds programs for his clients using progression, auto-regulation, and smart variations that keep results coming without breaking down the body.

If you're a man in your 30s, 40s, or 50s who wants to train hard, feel strong, and show up fully for your family, career, and life, this one’s for you.

The episode kicks off with a deep dive into why your triceps might be sore after back day, especially if you’re doing dumbbell lat pullovers.

I break down how the triceps play a stabilizing role in overhead pulling movements and explain how stretched positions, tight tissues, and poor overhead mechanics can create delayed soreness in muscles you didn’t even realize you were taxing.

I then answer a thoughtful question from longtime client Miguel on how to structure protein intake during a deep-fat loss phase. I give a masterclass in nutrient periodization, explaining how to balance protein, carbs, and fats as calories drop, and when it's smart to adjust macros to preserve performance and recovery.

I also share insights into muscle mass, age-related needs, and how the body adapts over time to both higher and lower intakes, proving once again there’s no one-size-fits-all approach to nutrition.

The episode also covers the importance of sodium intake for performance and energy, especially for hard-training clients like Austin, who’s currently running my most demanding program. I discuss real-life signs of under-consuming salt, the fatigue that follows, and how something as simple as seasoning your food or adding electrolytes can turn things around quickly. Finally, I wrap up with a clear and candid take on core training, why I avoid Russian twists and crunches, how planks and side planks build real core strength, and how to properly progress or regress these movements based on your strength level. From smarter substitutions to technique tips, I lay out an entire framework for better, safer, and more effective core training.

If you're someone who wants deeper insights into training mechanics, macro strategy, recovery, and functional progressions, this is one of those episodes you’ll want to listen to twice.

Mikey shares his journey from competitive Muay Thai fighter to fitness coach, and how his personal story, including the loss of his father at a young age and becoming a dad himself, shaped his mission to help other men take back their confidence and health.

Mikey and I dive into the emotional and psychological weight many fathers carry when they’ve let themselves go, and how strength training, routine, and honest self-reflection can create real transformation. We discuss the challenges of coaching men between 35 and 55, why structure and simplicity are essential in workouts, and how meal planning can be both flexible and family-friendly.

The conversation also explores why intensity matters more than fancy exercises, how to program for long-term consistency, and how progress, physical, mental, or emotional, is the best motivator of all.

This episode isn’t just about lifting weights; it’s about lifting yourself up, showing up for your family, and finally becoming the man you know you're capable of being.

Whether you're a father, a coach, or just someone who wants to take back control of your health and self-worth, this conversation hits home in the best way.

Drawing on both personal experience and coaching context, I explain why maintaining a surplus, especially after a long cut and high training intensity, can actually supercharge recovery and lead to better muscle growth. I reflect on my own recent deloads, rebound growth, and how proper fueling during time off might be the most overlooked tool in your transformation.

I then pivot to a nuanced question from Helene about single-leg training. Should you start with your stronger or weaker leg? Should you also do bilateral versions of the same exercise? I break it down clearly, explaining how to avoid redundant movement selection, how to prioritize symmetry and function, and how programming intent drives everything. I also share insight into how nerve damage has impacted my own training and why context, whether it's about strength, aesthetics, or injury, should always inform your programming decisions.

Whether you're in a growth phase, recovering from a layoff, or fine-tuning your unilateral work, this episode brings real-world strategy you can apply immediately.

• Why writing your goals down and revisiting them daily changes everything
• How working out and eating well go far beyond aesthetics, they shape your identity
• The power of morning and nighttime routines for clarity, focus, and emotional control
• How to stop comparing yourself to others and start building self-trust
• Why setting boundaries and removing toxic people is essential for peace and growth
• The importance of surrounding yourself with people who challenge you to level up
• How to deal with regret, set priorities, and take ownership of your life, one day at a time

I kick things off with advice for training with degenerative sclerosis, offering practical core and mobility drills to build strength without risking your spine. From thoracic rotations to bird dogs and side planks, I lay out a safe and effective approach for anyone with back issues, and show how these same strategies boost lifting performance and injury prevention.

The episode then shifts to rebuilding after a long layoff: how to structure your program, manage volume, and reignite fat loss when cutting calories isn’t enough. I explain why full-body workouts work best for recomposition and metabolic recovery, and how to scale your training from two to five days per week for optimal results. And also dive into training volume, how to prioritize legs, and why generic “bro splits” are the wrong move for most people returning to the gym.

In the back half of the show, I answer a tough question about progressive overload, training to failure, and whether you ever really hit your “genetic potential.” From programming adjustments to the psychological signs of burnout, I share how to spot plateaus early and pivot strategically, whether that means less frequency, more intensity, or a total reset.

If you're serious about long-term results and want to stop spinning your wheels, this episode is packed with raw insights, advanced coaching, and just enough sarcasm to keep it fun.

We dive into everything from the evolution of fitness content (infographics, reels, and the rise of the “science-based” trend) to what separates coaches who chase online status from those who build real authority and deliver lasting results. Andrew opens up about the reality of fake followers, algorithm-driven content fatigue, and how so many creators focus more on clicks than impact. The conversation pulls back the curtain on what it takes to build a coaching business rooted in actual transformation rather than vanity metrics.

We also dig into the deeper psychological challenges that hold people back, from clients stuck in cycles of self-sabotage to coaches paralyzed by perfectionism or fear of being judged online. We both reflect on how emotional narratives, limiting beliefs, and identity-based roadblocks show up in both fitness and entrepreneurship, and how becoming aware of these patterns is the first step toward breaking free.

Andrew shares his own path from personal trainer to published writer for T Nation, Men’s Health, and EliteFTS, and offers insight into developing new skills, like writing and video, while managing time, energy, and the demands of a growing business.

Along the way, he and I get honest about the trade-offs, the doubts, and the mindset shifts that helped them evolve personally and professionally.

If you’re a coach, a serious fitness enthusiast, or someone striving to level up your life and career without losing your integrity, this conversation will hit hard, and give you plenty to reflect on.

I break down how to effectively lose fat and build muscle at the same time, what truly triggers “newbie gains,” and how even experienced lifters can recompose with the right approach to training, sleep, and nutrition.

I also take on recovery head-on: when to skip a workout, how to adjust training intensity without sabotaging progress, and how to avoid burnout from stacking too many intense days. Whether you're running push/pull/legs, full-body, or high-intensity split programs, I explain how to tailor your approach based on your goals, experience level, and stress load.

Beyond training, this episode gets into the weeds on:

• Almonds vs. peanuts for micronutrient support
• Hip stability vs. hip action for runners
• Tendon rehab and injury prevention through tolerable stimulus
• Pre-run breakfast setups that actually keep you fueled
• Rest periods, rep schemes, and how to pick the right approach for your goal, fat loss, hypertrophy, or both

With plenty of laughs, smart-assery, and one very solid Arnold impression, I keep it real, keep it raw, and give you the coaching insights most programs leave out.

I also share my daily vision practice, how to use future-casting to stay motivated, and why you can’t expect others to understand or support your dreams, because they’re yours, not theirs.

• How to build glutes that grow (including his favorite go-to glute exercise)
• Stomach vacuuming, transverse abdominis training, and why posture and mobility matter for core control

Together, we unpack what it really takes for women, especially moms and women in their 30s and beyond, to build lean muscle, reshape their bodies, and ditch outdated fitness advice.

Kicking things off, I tackle a thought-provoking question on systemic fatigue and volume cycling, diving into the debate between science and real-world experience. I break down how to structure programs that prioritize certain muscle groups for growth without overtraining the entire system, and why proximity to failure, age, and exercise selection matter more than set counts alone.

In this episode of the Tom the Trainer Fitness Podcast, we sit down with Marilynn Roth, former educator turned fitness and nutrition coach, and founder of Get Sculpted, to talk burnout, boundaries, and the power of sustainable transformation.

After spending years burned out and uncomfortable in her own skin, Marilynn made the bold decision to prioritize her health, leave behind an 18-year career in education, and help other women do the same. Now, she’s on a mission to help women over 40 break free from the yo-yo diet cycle, ditch the “no days off” mentality, and create strong, confident lives they love, without giving up wine nights or family dinners.

If you’ve ever felt stuck, overwhelmed, or like you’re doing everything for everyone else and losing yourself in the process, this episode is your permission slip to choose you.

We also challenge a common excuse that pops up in and out of the gym: “It’s my back.” But… is it really? Or is it fear, hesitation, or something deeper that’s getting in the way? From mindset traps to physical self-awareness, we explore how to tell the difference between a real limitation and a self-imposed one.

• Tips to stay asleep throughout the night or get back to sleep after waking up at night.

• How often should you adjust macros when cutting and dropping weight?

• For unilateral exercises, if one side is stronger than the other, are both sides worked at the same weight or the weight both sides can individually work? For reference, left hand or right leg dominance, or after an injury to one side, etc.

• Sore hamstrings for an entire week. "Is it safe to assume what I'm doing is working? Since I am seeing the results and liking it."

• What tools to use to count macros?

• If your main goal is weight loss and you’re at the beginning of your journey (3 months in), how imperative is it to accurately and meticulously log the weight of each exercise, rep range, etc? Is that more for major lifters and bodybuilding?

• How do you make yourself eat all the food when you're full from your other meals?

• Is it okay to mix creatine with protein powder? Should they be taken separately? Does one way change your body's absorption?

• How important is getting your heart rate up to a certain level while weight training? Or while doing cardio?

• How do you handle those days when you just don’t have it in you? Reduce sets, reduce weight, reduce reps, or consider the main compounds enough success and call it a day?

• Upper hams. How can I best activate the top halves? "No matter what hamstring-focused exercises I perform, I seem to feel them lower towards the knees, and if I’m lucky around the middle".

• To creatine or not to creatine?

• Old school vs. New school way of training. If you listen to all those new Instagram “stars”, even Arnold or Ronnie did it wrong: Wrong pull downs, wrong lateral raises, etc. Everything needs to be slow and very controlled. But looking at those guys, they did it right… Didn't they?

• Split Squatting. How to keep the knee of your working leg from bowing in or out?

• Elbow flare on shoulder press. "When I try to bring a barbell to my chest, my rotator cuff feels it, and I presume I’m internally rotating despite trying to keep my chest proud. Do I need to actually hit my chest and get a form check, or can I stop short if I feel that I’m achieving a solid stretch prior to my chest?

• Thoughts on Mike Mentzer Method.

• Growing a business as an online trainer in an environment that pressures you to either be on PEDs or perpetually lean.

• Reducing weights every month for a week to give muscles and ligaments time to build and heal. Is it true?

• I can’t squat low nor do a decent sumo squat without my femur feeling “stuck” in my hip joint (like the femur has no more motion to give in the acetabulum, or like it needs to pop). How can I safely correct this and improve ROM?

• Transitioning from weight loss to a maintenance build phase. How to get out of the mindset of needing and wanting to drop weight after such a long journey?

• Once someone has added all the muscle they intend to, what is a good approach to simply maintaining that muscle mass if they want to stay relatively lean all year round? Can you just lift the same weights every week in the gym, or do you have to keep providing some type of new stimulus?

• I hate cardio so I have been doing it before weight training. Does it matter whether you do them before or after weight training?

• What bad habit(s) - physical, nutritional, and emotional - have you witnessed THE MOST that you wish people would just break?

• Why after three days of reduced carbs does my strength drastically reduce?

• How should older people work out for the best results? I know as we get older we lose muscle mass quicker so if in good enough shape, should we lift heavier weights to maintain muscle mass?

• Bulking. What's the purpose of holding weight before going to the next step?

• Am I doing damage to myself by carrying this intermittent fasting for over 6 months? (Eating once every 24 hours and drinking water and coffee in between, greens, spinach, chicken or fish, avocado, strawberries, carrots, raisins, cranberries... plus, Rene’s Caesar dressing on also! Enormous salads. No bread, potato, or sugar since January).

• Why don't I see you squatting at the gym?

• What do you do for health that's not fitness-related?

• Do you advise your clients to use steroids for fast results?

• Cable machines and how to properly align the resistance profile of the cable with the contraction of the muscle.

• Shoes with “zero drop soles” and a “wide toe box” to help those with stability issues. I've seen cross trainers and barefoot shoes. In your experience, does it boil down to personal preference, or does one type benefit more than the other?

• Bands while training.

• Suggestions for Pull Down Alternatives.

• How do you rehab weak ankles?

• How often do you change up the exercises you do in your routine to balance adaptation and growth (I.e. progressive overload) with variety and avoid neglecting areas or imbalances?
