#98 - The Shocking Truth About Gaining Muscle (No One Tells You This)

In this episode of the Weights & Plates Podcast, Robert Santana is joined by strength coach Gretchen Geist to break down the biggest misconceptions in the gym. They dive into why most people confuse exercise with actual training, the problem with group classes and light weights, and how real strength training impacts bone density, muscle growth, and long-term health. They also discuss why genetics matter more than people want to admit, what most personal trainers get completely wrong, and why compound barbell lifts should be a non-negotiable for anyone serious about improving their body and their health. If you're tired of spinning your wheels in the gym, or you're a coach trying to educate your clients, this one’s for you.
