You’re training hard. You’re hitting failure. But your muscles aren’t growing… why?

In this episode of The New Dad Fitness Podcast, Trent breaks down the real science behind muscle growth — and why training to failure doesn’t always equal results.

We dive deep into:
🔹 Mechanical tension vs proximity to failure
🔹 Why training in the lengthened position builds more muscle
🔹 The biggest mistake lifters make with "hard sets"
🔹 How to structure your workouts for maximum hypertrophy in minimal time

Whether you’re a busy dad trying to make gains or a coach who wants to train smarter — this one’s packed with gold 💪
