This week, I’m joined by Adam Pecoraro — a no-BS fitness coach who’s been helping men lose body fat sustainably. We dive into the biggest lies still being pushed in the fitness industry, why extreme methods like carnivore still get attention, and how social media fuels unrealistic physique standards through hidden steroid use. Adam shares what a bare-minimum realistic week looks like for busy men, and what actually sets apart clients who lose 30+ pounds and keep it off for good.
