#102 - THE REAL REASON YOU’RE NOT STRONGER

Consistency, recovery, and lifestyle — that’s what really makes or breaks your strength gains. In this episode, Robert Santana breaks down why most lifters stall out after the “newbie gains” phase, the truth about diminishing returns, and the five rules every lifter needs to keep progressing.
From balancing training with work, kids, and travel, to why sleep, food, and environment matter more than complicated programming, Robert shares hard-hitting lessons learned from decades of coaching. If you’ve ever asked yourself, “Why am I not making progress?” — this episode is your answer.
