The Body Recomp Podcast | Beyond Fitness
The Body Recomp Podcast is where smart lifters (like you) go to learn what actually works for losing fat and building muscle. No fads. No quick fixes. Just real, evidence-based strategies to get leaner, stronger, healthier... and more jacked, of course.
I’m your host, Kade Howell — a coach, father, husband, and wiener dog dad. After coaching hundreds of clients to transform through body recomposition, I’m here to share the training, nutrition, and lifestyle principles that cut through the noise and actually create lasting change.
Thank you for being here, and I hope you enjoy the show!

We Were Wrong... Body Recomp, Progressive Overload, Training Volume, Training to Failure, Deloads, & More | Ep. 129

→ Apply for The Recomp Project | Yes, we were wrong... But luckily for you, you get to learn from our mistakes.
Today we go through the training and nutrition beliefs we've had to unlearn over the years. From things like deload frequency, training to failure, and calorie surpluses, to rep ranges, progressive overload, training frequency, and more.
You'll learn:
- How much volume you actually need to maintain muscle once you've built it
- When a calorie surplus is and isn't required to build muscle
- If you should train to failure or leave reps in the tank (RIR)
- If taking deloads is necessary to manage fatigue and avoid overtraining
- How progressive overload actually works and how to appy it
If you've been lifting for years and feel like progress has stalled, something on this list is probably part of the reason.
