In this episode, Borge reveals why one truly hard set beats hours of ineffective exercise and how his Myo-Reps method delivers the same results in 70% less time.
In this refreshingly honest conversation, you'll discover why the fitness industry argues loudly about the 5% while agreeing on 95%, how women accidentally sabotage their results with high reps, and why your ability to delay gratification determines your success more than any training program.
After 25 years of coaching 5,000 plus clients, Borge cuts through the social media noise to deliver what actually works, not what gets clicks.
This episode was initially released in May 2024.
