What’s more important when you workout, weight or reps?

This one is easy to answer: it’s all about your goal

If you want to build strength, weight matters way more than reps. Lifting heavier and heavier weights is the best way to get stronger

Sure technique and muscle mass influence this as well, but they take the second seat when it comes to producing strength results

If your goal is to build muscle, it’s neither. Your total volume at proximity to failure to the most important metric to track

🏃‍♂️ Does fasted cardio actually burn more fat?

You've probably heard the classic advice:

"Do your cardio before breakfast and you'll burn more body fat." 🔥

And there's actually some truth to it... your body does burn a greater proportion of fat when you exercise fasted.

But here's the catch 👀

Burning more fat during your workout doesn't necessarily mean losing more body fat over time.

In this article, I break down:

🔥 What actually happens during fasted cardio
⚖️ Why burning fat ≠ losing fat
💪 Whether fasted cardio burns muscle
🕐 Whether there's a "best" time to do cardio
🏃‍♂️ How to use cardio effectively for fat loss
❓ And the answers to the most common fasted-cardio questions

So, should you drag yourself out of bed for a 6am run before breakfast?

Maybe. But probably not for the reason you think. 😏

Does fasted cardio burn more fat? Does exercising on an empty stomach really help you burn more body fat? We break down the science behind fasted cardio, including fat burning, muscle loss, calorie balance and the best time to do cardio for fat loss.

🏋️‍♀️ “I don't want to lift heavy. I don't want to get bulky.”

I've heard this one countless times.

But here's the problem: lifting heavy weights doesn't automatically make you bulky.

Building noticeable muscle takes much more than simply picking up a heavier dumbbell. Your training volume, nutrition, recovery, genetics and—most importantly—years of consistency all play a role.

In my latest article, I break down:

💪 What “bulky” actually means
🏋️ Why heavy weights don't automatically create huge muscles
🧬 How strength and muscle growth are different
🔬 What the research actually says about heavy vs. light weights
🥗 The role of nutrition in building muscle
🎯 Why lifting heavier can actually help you become stronger and leaner

So if you've been avoiding heavy weights because you're worried about getting too muscular...

You might want to rethink that.

Will Lifting Heavy Weights Make You Bulky? Will lifting heavy weights make you bulky? Short answer: no. Building significant muscle takes consistent training, progressive overload, nutrition, recovery, and time. In this article, we'll break down the science behind muscle growth and explain why you shouldn't be afraid to lift heavy.

🏃‍♂️ Are your running zones actually accurate?

If you're still using 220 − age to calculate your training zones, you could be training harder—or easier—than you should be.

A much better approach is to use your Lactate Threshold Heart Rate (LTHR). It reflects your current fitness, making it one of the best ways to structure your running workouts.

In this new article you'll learn:

✅ What Lactate Threshold Heart Rate actually is
❤️ Why it's more accurate than Maximum Heart Rate
⌚ How to measure your LTHR (lab test, Garmin, or DIY field test)
🏃 What each heart rate zone is used for
📈 How to train smarter and improve your endurance

I've also included easy-to-understand diagrams and practical examples to help you apply it straight away.
