Training Intensity - Is It Important?
Intensity is everything—if you’re not training hard enough, you’re not getting results.
In this episode, Lachy & Raph unpack the most misunderstood variable in training: intensity. They break down what “training hard” actually means, how to avoid wasting time with junk volume, and the surprising truth about overtraining (hint: you’re probably nowhere near it).

The optimal intensity zone: 1–3 reps from mechanical failure

The biggest difference between training alone vs. with a coach or group
Why most solo lifters make zero progress
What “overtraining” actually looks like—and why it’s rare
Simple signs you’re not training hard enough
How to use failure safely to unlock results
