In this week’s episode of the Push Pull Legs Podcast, Dan and Tom tackle the thin line between building an authentic online fitness brand and navigating modern cancel culture.
We tear into a viral controversy regarding online coaches with ADHD, why raw observational comedy outs the clients you don't want to work with, and why playing the victim won't save a stalling personal training business.

Plus, we completely deconstruct energy system development, exposing how standard physique coaching falls flat by treating cardio as a brainless box-ticking exercise instead of tracking heart rate, training lactate thresholds, and maximising recovery between hard lifting blocks.

We also rank the top five UK soft drinks (leading to a massive Dr Pepper argument) and share some hit Netflix recommendations!
