I look back on the early mistakes I made in training and nutrition—from poor form and random workouts to coconut-oil myths and supplement overload—and share what I’d do differently if I started lifting today.
When I first started lifting, I wasted nearly two years doing things the hard way—repeating poor workouts, trusting bad nutrition advice, and chasing quick fixes that never worked. In this episode, I share the exact mistakes I made early in my lifting journey and what I’d do differently today. From skipping form feedback and overusing supplements to believing coconut oil was “magic,” these are the lessons that’ll save you time, frustration, and money if you’re still figuring things out.
