Counterculture Health

Join us as we explore why muscle building is more of a marathon than a sprint, and why those "bulky" looks are not easy to attain. We'll also dive into the incredible health benefits of strength training, from boosting your metabolism to strengthening your bones.

Struggling to fit a workout into your busy life? Kaitlin's got some genius advice for full-body workouts that'll maximize your time and results.

Ever wondered about the hidden struggles behind those chiseled physiques on stage? Or how a navy veteran turned fitness trainer navigates the highs and lows of bodybuilding? Join us for Episode 14 of Counter Culture Health where we dive deep with Lincoln Marti into the world of bodybuilding, mental health, and evolving fitness philosophies.

Lincoln takes us on his journey from his first spark of interest in fitness at 19, through intense bodybuilding competitions, and the dark side of steroid use and body dysmorphia. He opens up about the mental and physical toll of striving for that perfect body and how the pandemic shifted his approach to a more holistic, functional style of training.

We also explore the broader implications of extreme leanness, especially for women, and the importance of mobility and full-body workouts. Lincoln now champions energy management and habit regulation, sharing insights from his own training programs available on his app.

Tune in for an eye-opening conversation that challenges conventional fitness wisdom and emphasizes a balanced, holistic approach to health.

Lincoln Marti's Bio:

Hello, my name is Lincoln. I am a Navy veteran with over eight years of experience in the training industry. My journey began with a passion for bodybuilding, leading me to compete in over ten competitions, including two national-level appearances. I have also had the privilege of training others to excel on the bodybuilding stage.

My educational background is extensive and diverse. I hold a master's degree in performance psychology, alongside certifications as a personal trainer, a performance enhancement specialist (athletic training), and a 200-hour yoga instructor certification, which I completed in India.

As my experiences and education evolved, so did my approach to training. I transitioned from a bodybuilding-specific focus to a unique blend that emphasizes energy management, habit regulation, and training the body to enhance mobility and strength through a full range of motion. My programs are designed to develop a powerful foundation, promoting overall functional strength.

Given the advanced nature of my training style, I work exclusively with individuals who have already mastered the fundamental principles of strength and hypertrophy. My ultimate goal is to help my clients create sustainable lifestyles that enable them to live their best, most functional lives.
