The Ripped Body® Podcast
“Dr. Eric Helms and Andy Morgan on The Muscle and Strength Pyramid books (3rd editions)”
If fitness feels more confusing now than it did five or ten years ago, you’re not imagining it.
This week on the podcast, I’m joined by **Dr. Eric Helms** to talk about *why* we wrote the Muscle & Strength Pyramid books in the first place, and why, a decade later, we decided to completely rewrite them for the third editions.
This isn’t a marketing episode. It’s a conversation about information overload, false precision, and why most people aren’t stuck because they lack effort — they’re stuck because they’re trying to do too many things at once.
In this episode, we discuss:
- Why fitness advice has become noisier, not clearer.
- How the Pyramid frameworks help you filter what matters from what doesn’t.
- Why flexibility done right *improves* results instead of watering them down.
- The difference between “progressive overload” and actual progression.
- How to train, eat, and live without sacrificing relationships or sanity.
We also walk through what’s new in the third editions.
If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by fitness content, this episode will help you zoom out, calm down, and focus on the levers that actually move the needle.
