Episode twenty is a catch-up between Keenan and Jared after a few months apart. Keenan explains his full HYROX simulation experience to find his actual weaknesses ahead of HYROX Anaheim.

In episode nineteen, Keenan and Jared each bring their own list of what "maturing in the gym" actually looks like after years of training and coaching.

Episode eighteen brings on Maurizio Tangari, an international trainer, founder of the free fitness retreat UR Vieste, and inventor of the HydroCore water training tool by Onnit.

In episode seventeen, Keenan and Jared rank the gym influencers who shaped how they think about training, from the science-heavy educators to the pure entertainment channels.

In episode sixteen, Keenan and Jared work through 10 would-you-rather questions built around gym and training scenarios.

In episode fifteen, Keenan and Jared play a game: each picks fitness and nutrition topics, and both give an instant verdict, overrated or underrated, before explaining why.

Episode 14 brings on Erin Brick, a personal trainer and online coach, for a wide-ranging conversation on training and nutrition. Erin lays out her top three glute exercises and how she structures a program for someone trying to grow their glutes, then moves into nutrition myths she hears constantly from clients (fear of carbs, demonizing red meat, chasing supplements instead of fixing the basics).

In episode thirteen, Keenan and Jared rank the top 20 back exercises from S-tier to F-tier. As always, the rankings are not purely about what science says builds the most muscle, but nostalgia and personal enjoyment factor in, too.

In episode twelve, Keenan officially hits 100 days of posting in a row on Instagram and Jared breaks down the lessons Keenan learned. The episode covers Keenan's content creation process: how he batches posts, generates ideas from client problems, and learned by studying what made other people's videos work.

In episode eleven, Keenan and Jared revisit some of the biggest ideas from their conversation with Eric, share life updates, and dig into nutrition basics.

Episode ten brings on the first guest of the podcast, Eric Dong, a physical therapist and strength coach. The conversation covers what actually separates a good PT from a bad one, why so many people end up with lower back pain, how rotation gets neglected in almost every program, and why the mindset someone brings into recovery can matter as much as the exercises themselves.

In episode nine, Keenan and Jared go through five foundational movement patterns: squat, hinge, pull, push, and overhead. They break down the most common mistakes they see as coaches.

In episode eight, Keenan and Jared rank 20 chest exercises from S tier to F tier. The conversation settles on three things that separate a great chest exercise from a not-so-great one.

In episode seven, Keenan and Jared answer whether you should train when you are sick. The answer depends on where the sickness is.
