#105 - ANDY BAKER | WHY YOU'RE STILL WEAK — AND HOW TO FIX IT

In this episode of the Weights & Plates Podcast, Robert Santana sits down with Andy Baker — owner of Baker Personal Training and co-author of Practical Programming for Strength Training. They dive into how strength coaching has evolved, what most lifters get wrong about programming, and why results matter more than methods. Andy shares lessons from nearly two decades of coaching everyone from competitive powerlifters to everyday clients, emphasizing practicality, consistency, and efficiency.

The two also discuss the connection between strength and hypertrophy, the misconceptions spread by social media fitness culture, and why good diet and smart training will always beat shortcuts. It's an honest, no-nonsense conversation about what really drives long-term progress in the gym.
