No studies. No experts. On this episode, Alex and Abbie sit down for an honest conversation about strength training: what they've learned, what they've gotten wrong, and their hottest takes on some of the most debated questions in the weight room.

Alex talks about how his approach to strength training has changed from his 20s and 30s to his 40s, and Abbie shares her experiences as a relative newcomer to lifting heavier. They talk about some of their favorite exercises, how to balance lifting with running and cardio, and whether people over 40 are actually lifting heavy enough.

Plus, check out their hot takes on commonly debated topics: home gym or gym membership, whether personal trainers are still worth it in the age of YouTube and AI, and which strength training movements are completely useless (bicep curls, anyone?). And yes, Alex has a surprising admission about leg day.

Also, on this week's Warm Up: some Gen Zers are switching to "dumb" phones, daily running's impact on your heart and mindset, the strength training advice every woman runner over 45 needs to hear, and one man's chaotic week trading coffee for energy drinks.
