Show Notes
I'm breaking down why I will always go back to strength training no matter what season, prep, or goal I'm chasing.
I also make my case for why strength should always be the foundation underneath any goal whether that's a marathon, an Ironman, HYROX, or just playing with your kids. I also introduce our new Strength Collection: Pre, Pump, and Post, a three-product system built to maximize your training.

More from The Nick Bare Podcast
I’m no longer the CEO of BPN.
The way I work in my 30s looks different because of what I did in my 20s.
Nick Saban’s “Importance of Nothing” speech got me thinking about entitlement—what we believe we’re owed and how that mindset shapes the way we work, respond, and live.
Stef joins me again to talk about marriage, faith, family, community, and the season we’re currently walking through.
Over the last 90 days, I lost about 10 pounds and got leaner without crash dieting, starving myself, avoiding social situations, or sacrificing my training and recovery. I did it by locking in - not through extreme restriction, but by narrowing my focus, reducing unnecessary decisions, and giving the process enough time to work.
