Bradley Goldman: Workout and Nutrition Programs for Building Muscle – Ep. 167
“The scale should only be used as a tool to allow your coach to determine how many calories are appropriate for your end the goal. The scale doesn’t judge you, tell you if you look good, or anything else but how to manipulate the calories that you’re going to feed your body.” – Bradley Goldman
This week, I had a fantastic conversation with personal trainer, nutrition counselor, author of the eBook, #FTHESCALE, and owner of Be Strong Stay Fit, Bradley Goldman. If you don’t think it’s possible to gain muscle mass or get a lean body, Bradley should be your number one inspiration! With hard work and guidance at the gym, Bradley was able to build the body that he had always wanted.
We talked about weekly workout plans, macronutrients, why we shouldn’t care what the scales says and why nutrition is so important for our fitness success.

Bradley’s Weekly Workout Schedules
“There’s no ego when you talk about being safe. If you’re building any muscle, the last thing you want to do is ego lifting because you’re getting the wrong muscles to fire up just to get specific muscles to move. If you want your muscles to grow, you should feel your muscles working. The muscles you see in magazines are not from ego lifting; they’re from strategic planning, patience, time, and warming up with lighter weights so that you can feel the proper muscles contract. ” – Bradley Goldman on the importance of warming up to avoid injury.
He gave us so much detailed information about how we can workout to build muscle that it’s best to listen firsthand to what he said in the interview, but here are the basics for how we can build a weekly workout schedule:
Bradley does 3 days a week lifting and 2 days of cardio with clients. The 3 days of lifting can be split in 3 different ways:
- Vertical movements, Horizontal movements, and Conditioning Days
- Push, Pull, and Accessory Days
- Back and chest, leg, and Shoulders/arms Days
For Bradley, he does 5 split days and always starts off with leg days: one day for quads and the other is for hamstrings.
Why We Should #FTheScale
In Bradley’s new eBook, #FThe Scale, he’s encouraging all readers to end their negative thoughts those their body based on what number the scale gives them. According to Bradley, the only good thing that a weigh-in scale is for is to tell a professional how many calories their client needs.
Just like with weight, many of us have different fears of how our body should look as far as being lean and gaining muscle. Many of us are afraid we’ll get bulky, never lose the weight, or never be able to pack on the muscle we want.
