About this listen

In this episode, Jon sits down with elite powerlifter and coach Aaron Chapple. Aaron recently set a world record in the Masters 40–44, 220-lb class—and he’s here to talk strength, hypertrophy, training intensity, and the reality behind performance and health goals.

They break down:

  • The difference between training for health vs. optimal performance

  • Whether deadlifts are worth it for hypertrophy

  • How to train smart with long femurs (and other biomechanical quirks)

  • Powerbuilding vs. strict strength or bodybuilding splits

  • How to know when you need a deload—or when you just need to train harder

  • The mindset and structure needed to push past plateaus

  • The role of TRT, long-term thinking, and sustainable transformation

This is a deep dive for lifters who want to train hard, train smart, and keep progressing—no matter their season of life.
