How to Build Strength and Stay Consistent (ft. Terry Lin)

The Leo Alves Podcast

In this episode, I chat with Terry Lin, a personal trainer and (former) powerlifting enthusiast, about the key strategies for building strength and staying consistent. We discuss the importance of structured workout programs, accurate calorie tracking, specific goal setting, and insights into staying motivated and overcoming setbacks. Terry also shares his thoughts on accountability, consistency, and how tracking progress can make all the difference in your fitness journey. Plus, we have fun exploring fitness-related topics in a game of "Underrated or Overrated."
