Back Pain, Barbell Myths & Breaking Sugar Cycles

Guest: Logan Richetti- Entrepreneur and Lender

In this episode, Adam is joined by Logan Richetti and Waz for a powerful conversation that blends fitness fundamentals with hard-hitting truth about health, nutrition, and mindset.

They dive into why back injuries are on the rise—not just from bad lifts, but from poor mechanics in everyday life. They also challenge the idea that the “Big 3” lifts (squat, bench, deadlift) are essential for everyone, and why training should be tailored, not templated.

Then the focus shifts to food—specifically, how our sugar-loaded culture is priming kids (and adults) for long-term health issues. From fast food habits to the toxic U.S. food supply, this episode calls out the patterns keeping people stuck—and the mindset it takes to break free.

We get into:

• Why lifting smart matters more than lifting heavy

• How sugar is silently driving disease and dysfunction

• The real reason back pain increases with age

• Why the Big 3 lifts aren’t one-size-fits-all

• And how personal responsibility is the foundation for change

If you're tired of quick fixes, diet lies, and outdated gym advice—this one’s for you.
