Jan 3 2023 • 56 mins

I am joined by a member of our Wits & Weights Facebook community, Matthew Spiewak, to chat about training and nutrition, including flexible dieting, compound lifts, pain and injury, and programming.

Matthew is an ACSM-certified Personal Trainer in the Chicagoland area with a degree in Kinesiology.

He loves helping people feel and look better and transform their health through his hands-on work in the gym as a trainer, so Matthew has both the educational and practical experience to help you succeed.

Matthew also hosts a 30-minute Instagram live every Tuesday at 5pm Central time in the U.S. and brings on new guests every week.

Topics discussed in this episode:

  • How and why Matthew got into fitness
  • Flexible dieting and who benefits from it
  • Whether anyone should NOT use flexible dieting
  • Whether people should squat and deadlift, benefits, how to incorporate in training
  • The best rep ranges for strength, hypertrophy, and physique
  • Bench press form (and getting the entire body involved)
  • How to avoid low back pain
  • How to deal with an injury
  • Why programming is so important to get better results
  • How to start and stick with a training routine
  • and lots more
