Strength with Eric Zucaro
Show Notes:
Eric Zucaro @Ezucaro of @marble_weightlifting helps us understand what it takes to build true strength on today’s show! We discuss what it is like to start strength training and lifting for different age groups, and what it takes to get strong. We touch on how soon new lifters should expect results and what to expect short and long term. We discuss what it feels like to really push yourself, and how long it takes to be able to reach full exertion in the gym. We discuss what eating and nutrition for performance and strength looks like, distinguish between what it means to train versus exercise, and also much, much more!!
