You’ve been working out for months and you’re still basically doing the same thing you did on day one — and somehow you’re surprised it’s not working. This week, Srdjan explains why your body is smarter than your effort, and what it actually takes to stop spinning your wheels.
You’ve been working out for months and you’re still basically doing the same thing you did on day one — and somehow you’re surprised it’s not working. This week, Srdjan explains why your body is smarter than your effort, and what it actually takes to stop spinning your wheels.
The scale only tells you how heavy you are—not what that weight is made of—and that’s why it can wreck your motivation. Pete and Srdjan lay out the metrics that actually matter, from body composition trends to strength, recovery, sleep, energy, and the everyday signs that your body is changing even when the number won’t behave.
Coming back from injury or surgery isn’t about “getting cleared” and hoping for the best—it’s about rebuilding trust in movement without letting ego or fear set the pace. Srdjan and Pete walk through how to bridge the gap between physical therapy and real strength training, how to read pain signals, and how to return smarter (even when your body still has opinions).
Two joints, endless bad advice: knees and shoulders get blamed for everything, but most of the damage comes from ego-loading, sloppy control, and skipping the boring stabilizer work. Pete and Srdjan sort the myths from the mechanics and give you a clear way to decide when to stop, when to scale, and when to keep moving—lighter, smarter, and pain-aware.
