Most People Don’t Know What Their Body Really Needs… Ft Jihad Elmasri
May 21, 2025 · 77 min

Yess people, welcome back to another episode!

This week we’re joined by none other than Jihad from @the.strength.physio. A Strongman athlete, physio, and someone who’s all about bridging the gap between performance and long-term health.

We spoke about his journey into serious training, what it means to move with intention, and why most people get stuck chasing progress but ignore the habits that actually sustain it.

From competing in Strongman to working one-on-one with clients, Jihad shares what people are missing when it comes to training smart, recovering properly, and staying consistent for the long haul. We also touched on the mental side of discipline, how your body responds to more than just training, and the quiet work that makes all the difference.
