Episode Synopsis

Stronger Doesn’t Always Mean Bigger — The Logbook Trap
John and Luke unpack one of the most common mistakes in bodybuilding: confusing strength progression with muscle growth.
You’ll learn how to:
👉 Redefine “progressive overload” to fit hypertrophy, not powerlifting
👉 Track progress over 4–6 week trends, not week-to-week jumps
👉 Use execution quality to create more stimulus — even at the same load
👉 Balance volume, fatigue, and recovery without losing performance
👉 Spot when it’s time to deload or switch movements
👉 Build muscle through precision, not ego
