Questions like: “Can I do cardio and lift weights on the same day?” Or “Should I be tracking macros?” Or “How do I know if I’m sore or injured?” They’re the questions everyone has when they’re starting out. They’re just afraid to ask them. In this episode, I’m pulling real questions from Reddit’s r/Fitness “Moronic Monday” thread—a weekly forum where 12+ million members ask the beginner questions they’re too afraid to ask elsewhere. And I’m answering them. Here’s some of what we cover: Cardio vs. strength training: Can you do both on the same day? How much cardio is too much if you’re trying to build muscle? Sore vs. injured: How to tell the difference and when to take time off Squat rack etiquette: Why doing bicep curls in the squat rack is bad gym citizenship (yes, this is a real question) Tracking macros: Should you track every gram? Or is there a better way to structure your nutrition? Essential supplements: The only 3 supplements worth taking for muscle building and overall health (creatine, whey protein, omega-3) Whether you’re a complete beginner or you’ve been training for years and just want confirmation you’re doing it right—this episode is for you.
