DM me “SHRED” on Instagram for MASS METHOD: SHRED, my 6-week challenge built to strip fat, build athletic muscle, and transform your body before summer.

This is my favorite challenge to-date. I partnered with Playbook & they’re giving away $50,000 in cash prizes to challenge winners. We start April 13th!

In this Q&A episode of the Judd Lienhard Podcast, Judd answers some of the most common—and most misunderstood—questions about training, nutrition, and performance.

From how to structure a full-body workout, to avoiding plateaus, to balancing cardio and strength training, this episode breaks down practical, real-world strategies that actually work.

Judd also dives into how to approach nutrition the right way—explaining why most people overcomplicate dieting, misunderstand calorie timing, and rely too heavily on supplements instead of focusing on the fundamentals.

If you’re trying to build muscle, lose fat, and improve performance without wasting time on ineffective strategies, this episode gives you a clear framework to follow.
