EPISODE 3: STOP RUNNING, START LIFTING — Why Lifting Weights Melts Fat Better Than Cardio
Tired of spinning your wheels on the treadmill and still looking soft?
In this episode, Ragnar dismantles the mainstream lie that cardio is the king of fat loss—and proves why iron is the true weapon for building a lean, powerful physique.
We dive into:
- The metabolic truth about muscle vs. cardio
- Why lifting turns your body into a 24/7 fat-burning furnace
- The EPOC effect (afterburn) and hormone optimization
- And how lifting transforms not just your body—but your mindset
This is how real men burn fat. Not by running in place… but by moving heavy shit and building a machine that burns fuel at rest.
If you're serious about fat loss, it's time to drop the cardio crutch and pick up the damn barbell.
