The Work Podcast Episode 58 - Post and Ghost

About this episode

Robert Sikes and Greg discuss a new high-volume workout split, the effectiveness of cardio, and personal anecdotes including a birthday celebration and a sardine experiment.

Greg and I are back with a jam-packed episode kicking off our brand new four-day high-volume split — and we're breaking down exactly how day one of chest and biceps went, what to expect on leg day, and why we're shifting away from heavy loading in favor of higher reps and faster pacing. We also get into the great cardio debate: is running actually doing anything for your body composition, or are you just spinning your wheels? Spoiler — probably the latter. On the life side of things, I recap my son Rigel's birthday weekend at the cabin, we talk pig processing (four hogs going down this weekend — y'all are not ready), and I share my new philosophy on social media engagement, or more accurately, why I've stopped engaging. Plus, we dive into the Keto Brainz collab with Keto Bricks, and I officially announce the sardine experiment — five days of nothing but sardines starting the 25th, complete with heavy metal blood work. Should be a good time. The new four-day high-volume workout split is live and free on the Savage Strong app at ketobodybuilding.com .
