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!

In this episode, we break down why intermediate lifters hit a plateau, why just training more probably won't fix it, and exactly what to change to keep progressing.
You'll learn:
- Why the approach that built your physique is now just maintaining it
- How to actually use progressive overload (most people have it completely backwards)
- Why adding more volume is usually the wrong first move
- Why exercise selection and training intensity start to matter a lot more at this stage
- How to structure your nutrition and long-term plan to keep making progress
If you've been lifting for years and aren't seeing noticeable progress anymore, this one's for you.
