<p>Whether you’ve never stepped foot in a weight room or you’ve been lifting for years without seeing significant results, figuring out how to get big, strong, and jacked can feel overwhelming. There are endless programs, conflicting opinions, and a lot of noise about what actually works.</p>
<p>Today on the show, Paul Horn offers a grounded, field-tested take on what really helps average guys get stronger and more muscular — without burning out. Paul is a strength coach and the author of <a href="https://amzn.to/4gI8l7C"><em>Radically Simple Strength</em></a> and <a href="https://amzn.to/4nbdAyT"><em>Radically Simple Muscle</em></a>. We discuss why you need to get strong before you get shredded, how and why Paul modified the classic Starting Strength program, the strength benchmarks men should be able to hit, when to shift from powerlifting to bodybuilding-style training, why you should train your lower body like a powerlifter and your upper body like a bodybuilder, the physique signal that shows you’re in shape, the body fat percentage every man should get down to at least once in his life, and more.</p>
