Episode notes

Loading up a bar you can barely move, quarter-repping it, and calling it a PR isn't training heavy, it's ego lifting, and it's a great way to stall your progress or get hurt. Louis and Brad draw the line between hard, productive heavy training and the ego trap, explain why you don't actually need to max out to grow, and layout how to train genuinely heavy without wrecking yourself. Ego stays at the door.
