One of the common misconceptions about strength training is that lifting weights will automatically make you big and bulky....maybe so big that you won't fit through doorways... While their may be a period of rapid muscle growth when someone first starts lifting (Newbie Gainzzz) have ANY of our members ever stopped training with us bc they were getting too big and bulky? 

Next we talk about training with pain.  Most people who are consistent with training will have done this, possibly many times, but is it ok? Should you change exercises, modify intensity, sit home on the couch instead??? We'll give you some real life examples of what we do with our members when pain is present.

Finally James gives a story from his childhood about how he was tricked into trying something he thought he would hate but then ended up loving it.  We follow up with how "tricking" people into trying us out may be the best thing for them.
