 All right those of you struggling to lose weight those of you who've dieted over and over again You can't figure out how to lose weight Sometimes all you have to do is the following bump your calories. That's right a lot of people get leaner When they eat more watch the rest to learn. What else you got to do? Oh, you're gonna defy physical. I love what you do tips like this. I hope they clip back. You're going viral on TikTok. I know That's stupid that one dorky ass One there's always there's tons of them Here's how it works here's how it works Bumping your calories eating adequate protein and building muscle you got to build muscle strength rain That's a recipe for fat loss for a couple reasons one if you gain muscle and you don't gain any body fat Your body fat percentage goes down to the process of building muscle the signal that you send the way you feed your body in order to do that speeds up your metabolism and so when we get people who are like cutting calories and like oh my god I'm at 1200 calories in my 1300 calories and I got 20 pounds to go and it's just not coming off a Good coach knows what to do. We're gonna reverse diet We're gonna bump your calories just get stronger and then the fat loss starts to happen The reason why this doesn't work for so many people is they increase calories They don't hit protein intake intake and they have a poor exercise program or none at all Yeah, so it's just like and so that's why that sounds so crazy that wait a second You're telling me to eat more calories and I could lose weight or lose body fat that makes no sense to me How's that possible? You're defying the law through dynamics. No, it's not what's happening right now If I eat in a cork surplus feeding myself adequate protein sending a signal to the body to build muscle those additional calories will get partitioned over to building muscle and More muscle on your body equates to a faster metabolism But those things are necessary to happen You can't just increase calories and think you're gonna speed your metabolism up You can't just lift weights and think your body is gonna build muscle You can't just add extra protein and thinking about you have to do all of it all of those things Today's YouTube giveaway is the super bundle here so you can win leave a comment below this video the first 24 Is that we post it?

First off most of you wouldn't look that much bigger right 10 pounds just spread out over your whole body What's gonna happen? You're gonna feel more tight. You can feel more sculpted. You're gonna have better shape But if you gain 10 pounds of muscle and no additional pounds of body fat You are leaner you have a lower percentage goes down look 20 pounds of body fat on a 200 pound man Is 10% body fat 20 pounds of body fat on a 100 pound man is 20% body fat. That's just an extreme example But as your lean body mass goes up and body fat stays the same you become leaner over time So that also happens and then of course the fashion metabolism now. This is not defying the law of thermodynamics because The law of thermodynamics says that energy cannot be created nor destroyed So in order to lose weight you do have to take in less cow lose body fat You do have to take in less calories Then you're burning but that formula the side of that formula that people tend to ignore forget or not understand is that burn more calories In fact, they misunderstand and they think moving more is the way to do that Let me just move as much as possible to burn more calories The problem with that is the body adapts very quickly to calories burn from movement But to speed up the metabolism build muscle building muscle does it and again There was a study that was done on diabetics that showed that Strength training outperformed Strength training plus cardio and cardio alone. It crushed cardio alone It did a little bit better than cardio plus strength training in terms of fat loss Just pure fat loss lift weights feed yourself adequately And I love this because when we get clients that are like this and we convince them to try it because there's a process of convincing right this is where the The communication skills of a good coach come into play because the average person is like what are you talking about eat more This doesn't make any sense But once we explain this and then they follow and they trust the process month two month three month four All of a sudden they're like I wouldn't I didn't believe you but this is crazy I'm eating more where wisdom comes into play versus just knowledge, you know And this is where I always can find out right away like what level that trainer or coach is like in their career Because a lot of times like you do think that it's just a matter of like getting them to move more and cutting their calories And you know like there's just so much more to that conversation you learn later on as you mature in your trinket We've all seen this play out exactly how you describe dude. I had I just Yesterday had this conversational man. She's a dietitian registered now. She works with People in kidney disease. She's been doing it for a long time. She's very smart of what she does and She's not overweight. She's not overweight at all She's that a in the range of weight that she's supposed to be But she sends me a message. This has now been going on for the last four months her and I've been going back and forth and You know, you guys know how I'm hard-headed, right? Would you guys agree? There's a genetic component there for sure because my aunt she contacts me and she's like what the hell She's like my blood sugar numbers aren't looking good. I'm pre-diabetic. She just doesn't make any sense I walk all the time. I'm doing cardio. I don't eat very much. My body weight's not high She's like it must be our genetics or something like that I said I said Zia. I said, please lift weights. I said, you do you lift weights? And so I explained the whole thing to her. Do you think she lifted weights? No, then she comes back to me Oh, I'm doing this strength-based yoga class. Zia. It's not the same thing. You need to lift weights Trust me and then I'm like, do you know that I have a book published on this? You know exact thing I sent her that still nothing Finally finally finally I convinced her she hired a trainer started doing strength training the text I got I should read to you guys the text because you'll laugh Your ass off based off of you know, what she said it was so So frustrating half the time what who she goes she goes what did she say to me? She goes you won't believe this she goes I'm I'm I did strength training twice a week and For the first time ever my belly starting to get leaner you but she starts it with you won't believe it Told you do you think what did you what yesterday? You said I actually did not even know what's the name of somebody who is Studies the kidneys what is nephrologist nephrologist nephrologist an EPA. Is that her is she a nephrologist? No She's a dietician for which that works with specifically with people who are in kidney disease So when you have kidney disease There's special dietary consideration not only that because my uncle's going through this is why I bring it up and The advice they're giving him is to not work out right and so you think that's why that comes from from her She probably hears. Oh, you don't she doesn't have kidney disease. She understands it very well So when you first start having Issues with your kidneys They'll tell you to increase your protein at first because you're not you're not able to utilize the protein as well Then they start to tell you to cut your protein because you're not able to filter Yeah, then it's like when it gets real bad state, you know, I think it's like stage three kidney disease Yeah, he's at stage three right now. Yeah, they get afraid. They're afraid to cause any kind of muscle damage because muscle damage elevates CK levels so it requires the filtration, right? So, you know when people get into Rhabdo, Rhabdo myolysis damage and they go to the hospital. That's like an example of that, right? Oh, they'll they'll that's what they're monitoring They're monitoring your kidney function and can your kidneys filter this out and then people typically will recover and they come out And then they're okay So such a hard thing right for me to advise like it's like that's such a bummer because because he's diabetic, right? He's diabetic and then he's also got he's also got stage three. He can lift weights He can I know but what sucks is that I would want to train him right because like you never know Some trainer doesn't know what they're doing and they train him really hard It's like, you know, he's 70 something years old yet to understand that he's already deconditioned He needs to do like bare minimum like practicing movements. Yeah, exactly like and do like 10 minutes a day Yeah, and slowly build I've trained people like that and I've worked close closely with their nephrologist And that's exactly what they would do is they would come in and we would do Super mild Exercises and I would slowly ramp them up over time and then you do see an improvement and that's the that was the issue Is the blood sugar right and oftentimes diabetes and high blood pressure right now those are connected to you to kidney issues So it's speaking of increasing calories. I got a funny thing to tell you guys yesterday So yesterday The peanut butter and jelly conversation went live and it's like was a viral sensation It's caused all kinds of controversy in homes. I've been getting text messages somebody say that family Oh, dude, no, that's you close the refrigerator share first. I'll share that because this person deserves This person does every once in a while somebody on Instagram Throws a jab at me that is like fucking really good and like gets me to like belly laugh I don't did you see that I put I pinned it on the thing because it was so good, right and Obviously if those of you that don't know that the jelly peanut butter argument go watch my Instagram I posted basically you said put the jelly on first. Yes to wipe it off on the bread, right? Very logical, right? And of course, there's all kinds of controversy I made the comment that you think like a girl. Yes, when you make a peanut butter and jelly Do you do the peanut butter the jelly first? Oh, I do the peanut butter. What? Jelly first because the jelly wipes off on the bread and you have no jelly on the on the knife anymore Somebody writes under here. It says do to apply jelly first also shut the refrigerator door with their hip while saying I'm stealing that I'm still gonna steal that and throw that at somebody else But hey listen listen, so okay, I'm Again, I got family friends It blew my mind how many people who I died it wanted even I don't think they even listen to the show But that clip is gone all over the place, right? Yeah, that are like, oh my god We're arguing about at the dinner table right now Yesterday I come out and Jerry's like what's all the fuss about what are we talking about right? And I think Jerry's Jerry's working out with Kyle at the time and I'm explaining the peanut butter and jelly argument And she's like what doesn't even make sense. You can't you can't do jelly first Jelly doesn't spread on peanut butter and I'm like what I don't understand what you're saying I'm like so I'm like I'm explaining to her like and it took me it didn't dawn on me I'm like wait a second. So you fucking lather both side up with peanut butter and then both side. I go Jerry Peanut butter either that or it's just all on one slice and then she puts the fresh lice on no She does that she goes both ladders both sides up. I'm like Jerry. That's like a thousand calorie peanut butter jelly sounds you're making there I might have found the hack for your fitness goals right now. That's like when I scoop it in for my protein Everybody that uses peanut butter in their meal plan 100% doesn't measure it properly That was like I was on a kick again another thing that I tell you there's there's been so many like Epiphanies from competing that just even as a trainer. It just really didn't dawn on me as much I was so guilty of that myself and oh, it's you know peanut peanut butter falls in the category of somehow health food Nuts in general have so many calories Yes, and it and you know because when I competed I now had to go away from this intuitive eating and I had to weigh and measure and Track everything and nuts and peanut butter had have been one of the most like a Grecious like miscalculations. I've heard three tablespoons is one. Yes, dude I had at least five or six male clients And this is was the the only hack I needed to figure out was to just take away Them at work grabbing nuts eating nuts. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, if you look at like a good 300 calorie 400 calories serving of peanuts or almonds. It's like it's a tiny little sandwich grab a little yes I think I think am I serving for almonds when I was like 25 almonds 25 almonds is like nothing It's like I'm like I don't think ever in my life until then I had I ate 25 almonds I always probably ate 125 What I eat almonds so I think that's super the hack for nuts is not to buy them shelled is You got to buy them in there. Yeah in the shell. So you had to do the work Crack it open. No, I think that's that's that's that's that really slows down and in reduce how many the other hack I think I agree with that. The other hack is actually the tiny. You guys ever seen those tiny Yes, neck bag. Yeah, they're small. I that was a big hack for me was actually weighing that out seeing what? 25 almonds or whatever my serving size of nuts that I would allow in my diet And then I just when I go to get it I put it in that first because if you just grab a jar or grab a bag and you eat nuts It's over you're gonna miscalculate for sure and again to your point Justin like that sometimes for people is Such a small little adjustment that will make a calorie shift like 300 calorie shift. Yes. Yeah Yeah, you know, it screws me up are the almonds and pistachios that now are like barbecue flavor Hot chili flavor. I'll eat I'll eat them all easy. Easy. I haven't had a Salt and the get it salt and vinegar pistachio nuts that are to shelled are I'll destroy I love the rancher It's not sesame seeds, but sunflower seeds just you know as a thing to like just Get you through if you're doing anything outside another good example If you eat sunflower seeds in the seeds, you're not gonna eat very many you stay there for 40 minutes You're not gonna eat time. Yeah, you get them all shelled satisfied too. Oh, yeah insulted You just pour me by the way who eats nuts without salt. Who is that? You ever accidentally do that, you know, that's only because that's only because of the sodium Marketing around sodium and salt that people thought I hate any kind of nuts with no salt. Why why would you do that? It's some salt over that bad awful. Hey, what are we supposed to feel? From drinking the joy mode in the middle of the day. This is something I would drink before Katrina night go have sex at night Yeah, I'm drinking in the middle of the day. What's happening? I'm concerned What are you trying to create your modus with Justin? Justin you think you're guys sound comes over. It's like yeah here. I want you guys to take joy mode today Midday like really why are we drinking this right now? As long as you don't hug after this or well, I was gonna do this exercise with you. We embrace each other Just see what happens, you know, see who let's go first. You know just to test our no, you know what it is It's okay. So joy mode is advertised as a like pre I don't know sex supplement if you will right the compounds in there are all in there to encourage blood flow And to some extent energy and maybe libido, but mostly it's it's blood flow and they got good stuff in there These are all Like backed by data and science to boost nitric oxide to help with blood flow Okay, what else do you want more blood for for workouts? Yeah, you got a better pump What else do you like more blood flow for maybe to feel better? It's vasodilating is healthy. Is there cognitive benefits to that? There are some cognitive benefits to it. Absolutely. Okay. There's some ginseng in there, which is good for energy So I I take joy mode Sometimes during the day when I want to feel a little bit of energy, but I don't I don't want to take any caffeine Yeah, I'll take joy mode Doug takes it for the same reason because Doug is caffeine free He takes no caffeine whatsoever. He'll take joy mode just for energy. Oh, I don't notice it Yeah, so read the ingredients off dog. Yeah, there's citrulline Arganine nitrate Panax ginseng mm-hmm vitamin C and that's it. That's it. That's it. So so Arganine nitrate or nitrite is that is like will boost nitric oxide more than almost anything else And then panics ginseng if you guys want to talk about the the king of all herbs It's that one really panics ginseng. Yeah, that's the reason why I'm saying panics, right? Because they're Siberian ginseng American ginseng. They're not ginseng. They're just they call them that the real deal ginseng is the king of Chinese medicine to boost what they would refer to as young energy or yang energy that strength male energy libido To give you more more stamina more Well, the yang you young part of Chi, right? Remember this balance Don't you always find it interesting how that's something that's been around for thousands of thousands of years In medicine like Chinese medicine and with all the stuff that we know and research so that here We are still using that's the main. That's the main ingredient in a product like this. That's super beneficial Yeah, I find that wild dude. Do you know what the story is behind ginseng? They all have all these ancient I'm gonna look it up on examine. I love examine comm because they post all the studies and stuff So have you guys know what the story is of ginseng because it's all these old herbs that have been used for thousands It's a root, right? It is a route. It's been used for ever The story go and I suppose so it looks like a man So if you look at an actual ginseng root kind of looks like a like a person and the story goes that a ancient philosopher I don't know who might have been someone. I don't know ancient philosopher Was stuck in the mountains with no food and an eight ginseng and found vitality and energy and was able to survive So it's like this this there's like this myth around it. Oh, it's just kind of cool. Yeah So here's what the studies have been shown It it's effective for mood immunity cognition And then it has some erectile dysfunction Function testosterone exercise performance boost I noticed mood from it That's what I noticed now if I go too hard on ginseng it can make me feel like like too much yang I think I already have too much that energy the guy that I worked with once told me that but uh, but yeah That's it right there. I mean we're we all have Synthetic testosterone and so we're probably not gonna feel those benefits as much But I wonder if somebody has naturally low testosterone and is not a little bit on synthetic testosterone If they actually would feel even more of a boost from that naturally than they then they would they might so we're not going to obviously So ginsenosides, which are the active ingredients in ginseng Are steroid like saponins that are unique to ginseng now steroid like You know, I know bodybuilding back in the day supplement companies would Steroid refers to this shit like the type of molecule cholesterol is a steroid But they would like use that as a selling point natural steroid I fell for that shit Hell yeah, I'll take You know, I can't wait for someone to fall for someone who's gonna ask Justin to change their tire. Yeah. Yeah, so So what's up with that and why are the sleeves too tight on your arm? I don't know That was the one thing. I was like it fit great within my arms are like Over there Is so is that a company or is that made to look like that? It's a comp. It's a company It's it they're their own fashion company. It's it's not like this is a work shirt. They're the truckie guys. Yeah So do you guys I wore some of their flannels earlier too? But yeah, I like that they're bringing it back because like I said a long time ago like I start that was yeah That was in high school. That was you have a hold on a second Do you have a fashion muse? You know what that is do you do there's someone you looked at and said I like that fashion Look like cuz I think you did I mean maybe but honestly, I just I look for me It's all like I look at some I'm like if it looks cool or if that's something that like You didn't copy someone because I have an idea he looks like Kate Von D's met what's his name? That's exactly what I was gonna say By him maybe a little bit, but you know you saw him when you were a kid he's like Well, he's a cool guy. I mean he's that's the thing. It's got more cats though Yeah, no for me. It was it was probably more I was always more looking up to like punk rock and like rock star You know, they don't dress like you. Yeah, they do punk rockers to me Oh like Mike Nassin and yeah, dude. He's also got like Lincoln Park vibes a little bit Fuck out of here. That's gay bro. Look at Park is the shit bro. They're great, but like that's like pop music Didn't stop. They're not pop music. We can park was Yeah, who did the bluefish right Jesse James or what what's going on over here? Jesse James. What was this show? Give me and give me a garage Outlaw look him up. Look at his pictures of him like early 2000s. It's the way Justin dresses It's it's like if you took a skater and a cholo and you mix them together and put on a white dude Yeah, that's what it is sure. That's Jesse. That is so I mean you were thinking the same thing I was right. Yeah, bro exactly. I mean he's handsome as fuck Justin Okay, flannel. I mean it's starting to look more. Yeah flat bill. Look at that right there. No, right Very right Justin shit right there. Wow. He does now actually I've been following him He's he's out there in Texas and he makes these really ornate like really cool guns like that Yeah, they're they're super Cool, he makes I mean, I'm sure they're like really expensive, but Sick, look at that. Yeah, look at those. Yeah, do you know what that reminds me of everything on like it's it's sick You know, did you guys watch this movie in the I want to say was in the 90s actually a pretty freaking good movie It was with Leonardo Leonardo DiCaprio the gun reminded me of it Did you guys ever watch Romeo and Juliet the one with Leonardo DiCaprio? It was like a weird spin on it to watch that in college. Yep. Yeah. Yeah, it's pretty good movie It was like a new version of it. Yeah, barely remember it though. It was actually pretty good I just I should watch out my daughter. Yeah, I haven't seen that in a long time I think we should watch it first before you do that. You're right What movie it was we're watching is full-on sexy and came on I was like what dude you want to talk about parent You guys want to hear something? Did you see Doug what I sent over to the video of Russell Brunson? No, I didn't take a look at the video I sent over from Russell Brunson. Listen to this What do you do? What happened made headline news in Idaho? but they Obviously must have some connections with the city and who writes in the newspaper because somehow kept his name out of it But it's him and he's at a wrestling meet with his his kid 12 or 14 year old kid and his wrestling and he gets on the mat and pushes pushes the kid off and punches him twice in the head Is the kid fighting the son? Yes. What did the kid watch the video Doug? I sent it Oh, I had sent it over to the is that really him though. Which group did you send it to? I mean ours probably Oh 12 to 14 12. Wow. Why would you do that? Isn't that crazy? Wow, but now hold on and maybe one of those cases Let me just while we're looking for this because I just read this right here I want us did you guys see that there was a 50 year old man Who identified as a 15 year old girl? Oh Was allowed to compete with the 15 year old girls and was allowed to shower and change with the 15 year old girls Well, so maybe it was one of those situations a 50 year old dude trying to wrestle his kid and I punch him in the face, too Yeah, no, no, no, it's you see the whole video right there. That's a completely different scenario Okay, take a look You know who actually posted it was the guy that I shot it out the other day goob that I've been following his He posted it call. I'm gonna play it for the guys. They can actually see it. This shit's Yeah, let me hear it. Yeah. Yeah, let him you're positive. It's him. I mean, yeah That's I mean unless I'm getting punked right here. It's for sure. Oh Oh, yeah, I'll let the guys hear it so they can hear it. Let's seerupting a Nisa wrestlers match in Idaho now I find this a little odd because you're just not using his name in the headline his name is Russell Brunson And you're saying he just jumped on the mat. Is that really what he did? Let's watch the video Oops, that's not just jumping on the mat. That's jumping on the mat He punches him twice Yeah, I Wonder why Organ live I think you need to update this title put his name in it, huh? And maybe punch his child instead of jumps on the mat shame on you and Russell for you I've actually not wild What I found really interesting make sure it's really him I mean, I don't know what this is that's what this guy does is dive into stuff like that and research all Of it before he does post on it. So I'm assuming I mean, but yeah, let's see if he if it's not I bet you money it is. I also think it's really interesting that the article would present it that way I mean think about it if it was anybody else, they would present They would call out yeah, who the person is unless you're probably really famous and you paid someone here's the deal Right, but you would almost think it'd be the opposite if you're really famous that they're gonna want to put it out Yeah, I mean unless he got on top of that right away like, oh, no, that's right They're a local paper right somebody's gonna get a hold of this and then you know and just did some like Wow battle that you know tries to clean it up. Why right? I there's nothing Well, there's there's lots of things more annoying. But it's one of the most annoying frustrating things for me is going to any kids game and And watching parents act like complete dumb shit. Oh, it's the worst. I Hate it. Yeah, where they're yelling at their kids are yelling to other kids They're the ref or they yell at each other like they're gonna fight each other Literally games were absolutely the worst for that and like they actually had to put out policies So parents could even like they had to like sign agreement like you can't you can't yell at the rev you can't yell at the kids You can't like it or you gotta go and then they would like enforce it What because there's fights that would break out between all the time without like all the time What I almost thought a guy who was so I remember I tell you guys when I used to go see my my uncle Casey Who's to when Brett was a kid? He was a stud like he was the star running back star quarterback like he played every position My uncle was the the coach and they just destroy and you know my uncle's like hardcore into football, right? So he's he's no mercy. Yes. Yeah, and and so he was just I mean He was running the ball the whole time, but his team was just just destroying this team It was like 60 something to like whatever right and so he wasn't like throwing the ball He just handed off and the guy kids kept scoring it kept scoring and the do all the coach came unglued came after my uncle afterwards That's probably like 23 or 24 sure at the time with that got up in the dude's face. Everybody broke it up It was a big old scene. It's like do pop order football. These kids are like like a 12 year old You know what these are little kids and in sports teaches kids a lot It's so valuable what you can learn by by or playing organized games Okay, to be a parent and to be that shitty of an example you're tainting what is Experience for everybody not just the experience Well, I think a lot of that has to do with you know, I think I I thought about this a lot before max was You know being a 40 year old dad There's a lot more wisdom that that comes with that than if I was like a 25 year old dad And you know, I could see being a 25 year old dad and wanting to you know, live vicariously through Right, it's almost always these out of shape like couldn't do a guy You can't I didn't make it in basketball now my son's playing basketball So now I'm like I'm so invested in everything that happens and it happens to him for him Yeah, that you you take it on you know, it was the worst hmm the worst World of competition quote-unquote. I've ever seen in my entire life The pageant world. Oh You see documentaries on that. No, dude. I was in it. Oh cringe. I was in it I was in it. I didn't compete You were part of the duty I Trained I don't want to say too much because then the person people are gonna know I'm talking about but I trained somebody Who won a relatively large local? Somewhat local competition and pageantry. Okay, it's a it's a weird world. It's a weird I've trained girls that are like so I trained a person who was known as miss whatever and I won't say what it is But she won or whatever and you know because of my training. They're like, oh, you did a good job with her So I wasn't in the world until she hired me. I didn't even go to a competition I just I knew what her goals were she wanted to get leaner She wanted to be more fit Yeah, and I wanted to help her do it the healthy way And that's what we did and then she won and I went to the competition to watch and she won And I was like, oh, this is so cool And then you're around that world like what a weird kind of world and all these moms are like They're not great moms so the way that they're talking to their daughters But I didn't see a whole lot of you just kind of feel it and see a little bit Then she's like, hey can you train me again because she qualified for this bigger competition Yeah, so I said sure and then she's like, hey all these moms want you to come talk to their daughters about nutrition and exercise and I'm like now I knew the the nutrition the diet body image issues that that my client had suffered from because of the pageant world So I'm gonna go speak to like a group of girls and their moms And so I'm like well, I'm gonna talk to them about it the right way, right? So and I'm not gonna be like, oh, this is the fastest way to lose 15 pounds type of shit I'm gonna do that So I go there and I'm talking these girls about the right way to do it and building muscle And it's about your health and healthy looks good and this and that and the girls were like kind of into it the moms We're happy with the issue. I had a lady come up to me and Afterwards with her daughter and she let's like she literally said this is exactly where she says to me She goes Sal I like what you said. I like your talk, but you know, we have a date We got to get in shape by my daughter likes to eat fruit Can you please tell her that you can eat too much fruit that she's eating too much fruit right now? And I looked there I said no, I'm not gonna say that because That's not true and I said and I think that what you're saying is actually quite terrible In front of her dog in front of her daughter like how what the hell kind of mom are you? Yeah? What age group were the girls? Oh, they were in her Let's see She was teenager. Yeah. Yeah, they were it was almost 18 So like 17 yeah 17 18. I think that what's even worse. I couldn't believe it The little kid ones Putting these kids in these pageants and dolling them up like crazy. I think that's even worse like that young age I mean you're just conditioning them for your appearance is most important. That's what's most important Be cute or whatever. No, I actually refuse the trainer After that. Yeah, because I'm like, I'm not gonna come talk to these people I'm not gonna show up to these events. They're terrible backstage the moms. Oh god It's always interesting when you get introduced to like a new like a new world, right like that Like it's like this has been right here under my nose this entire time I had no idea that's how I felt about bodybuilding when I got into that That's been like in our space for so long and I'm yet I thought I was so close to it yet I was so far because when I got in there realize like, oh my god, this is so different Then I ever thought it was going to be I really thought I was gonna meet the brightest minds in the fitness space I thought oh these are gonna be all the people that like really get and understand the science of nutrition And exercise and like this is this is the pinnacle of that. It was like the opposite speaking of which did you guys know? So, you know now we're working with any SM, right? So they're company that sponsor us now. They're the most well-known accepted National certification for trainers. Did you guys I went on their website? I'm gonna pull it up right now This stuff that they offer the things that they offer is absolutely Absolutely insane first off speaking of bodybuilding they have a physique and bodybuilding course What they have a physique and bodybuilding course you can take I didn't know that now it gets you Continued education units. Yeah, so it's not a certification Right, I gotta get certified first But literally teaches you about the way to prep the proper way to come out of prep like the whole you gotta make a note Doug for Katrina to message them I would love access to that so I could dive through it I would love to see just to kind of break it down All they're like what they do. Yeah. Yeah, I just I'd love to hear their philosophy. That's such a Fineline to skate right if you're this this academic course and That's a sport and it's a sport that can send a lot of people in the wrong direction nutritionally and stuff like that I can't wait to read how they cuz they're gonna communicate the right way Yeah, yeah, so I can't wait to read how they they speak to that. They also have a certified wellness coach Certification for wellness. Don't they have did they get into the golf space? I thought I would not be surprised There's so much stuff that they have in there. That's I mean that was a part remember we're having dinner and You know as well as well, I mean we all have multiple certifications from them Obviously, we're very familiar with an SM, but what a disconnect there was to like all the things that they how nobody knows Yeah, they're offerings. Do you know how many? Coaches and trainers they've certified over the years take a wild guess. Oh I'm gonna they've been around for a while right how many years they've been around God like total from when I'm gonna say 80,000 from when they started. Yeah. Yeah 1.5 million. Holy really? Yeah 1.5 million trainers. Yeah. Wow. Yeah, they've been doing it for a long time I mean it was the gold standard for a lot of those like corporate gyms So that doesn't really surprise me and they also do payment plans, which I didn't know either I used to I remember when I got my cert back then it was like a thousand bucks now They're like a little more was even cheaper than that when we got it was $500. Oh, no, I'm sorry. You're right Yeah, you know why mine was a thousand I did too. I did see the teens. Yeah, okay But now they have payment plans so you could pay like 50 bucks a month 60 bucks a month, whatever smart. Yeah stuff so If you're a trainer or coach and you want education, I you know Check them out because they have so many things to offer not just your traditional I mean, that's one of the things I'm most excited about partnering with them is actually to go start diving through all their content that they Offer outside of what we already knew they had so and I was impressed with the dinner that we had and hearing like everything They were already doing they just did they need a better voice They need someone to communicate all these things they're doing because they are the leader in the space They've been the leader in this space for a really long time and we should have known better That of course they were gonna evolve and continue to do more things and do better stuff They haven't had the right voice. Have you guys seen the commercials? They're running TV commercials all time Oh, yeah, yeah, I see them on I see them on TV all the time now, which I never used to see that So they're definitely making a push. Yeah. Hey, did you guys want to hear a crazy stat that I just Saw on Twitter and I come or X and I confirmed it Obesity rates, right we all know that that's just exploding or whatever in one generation So somebody made this a chart in one generation. Okay Obesity rates tripled Tripled in one generation it from 1987 to 2021 The obesity rate in this country tripled yikes three times as many people are Now obese then we're in 1987 apps this is This is an epidemic. Do you think at one point if we need to face man Do you think at one point and if it may be we're there already that it becomes so much of the majority that Everything we everything we talk about or we present or we try and push is just gonna get kind of smushed out because if you got 80% of the population at one point which it we're heading in that direction, right that there's a Possibility in our lifetime. We're close to the majority in our lifetime. We might see like a 70 80% of people obese like you Talking about being in shape and healthy will be such an anomaly Especially if we start finding out ways with science to hack into You know prolonging things or curing things or like and make it to where people can do less still travel like with ease and You know walking around you you won't even need to walk anymore like you got all these like different devices and things to have you kind of You know traveling well when I first watched wally Little depressed because I worked in fitness when I remember seeing that I kind of made me sad a little bit even though a lot of people thought it was funny. Oh, so did you see weight watchers? I didn't know weight watchers Have they partnered with one of the GLP one. Oh did they yeah, so that's part of their program You get it you get it with their but look up weight watchers I think about weight watchers that I don't know a lot of people may not I don't know if you guys will agree with this But of all of the mainstream Weight loss whatever's Weight watchers in my experience working with clients was one of the it's not great, but it was one of the better ones They did communicate behaviors better and they didn't do the whole they used point system Which actually worked better for people than calories and that kind of stuff So when I had clients they did weight watchers and I'd follow them along in comparison to all the other stuff That was out there. It was actually one of the better ones I'm not a fan of it But I there's obviously a brilliance to it because it wouldn't have lasted this long and done so well Right, and I agree with that the reason why that is is the thing the points you're making the other one I didn't mention the other thing that they did really well as you didn't mention was community Yeah, they're really good job of the the community aspect of meats and stuff like that I mean, I knew people that had gone through it a long time ago and they remained showing up to the meats Yeah, you know like they would show up to their the meetings just so they could do the weigh-ins and and have that Accountability piece and so they did a lot of things right I just seem to move more in the in the better direction I would say because I mean, I don't know how popular Jenny Craig is now any that stuff But back then when I was training people it was like the diet plans were like buy our frozen food This is slim fast. You know, you're just basically replacing them with shakes So what does that say there Doug? Yeah, so they have this thing called the GLP one program experience and it looks like they have Obviously the GLP one they have a list of foods They've got activity goals and this is for people who are on the GLP one. Are they publicly traded? I don't think they sell it. I don't think they're selling it So they call it there if you're on a GLP one No, they're part look up I saw read an article on them being partnered with them. Okay. Yeah. Yeah, take a look at it I very don't you do you really think that they promote some of that and they don't have a stake in the game? Yeah, yeah, and then also is that a publicly traded company, I don't know about to look that up Yeah, well, I mean, okay What are your dietary considerations with the GLP one make sure you eat your protein targets and lift weights? Okay, so you can get everything you want from your weight watchers clinic that includes GLP one other medications Wow, so now are they selling yet? Oh, are they selling it as the peptide from the from the pep the compounding pharmacy? Are they selling the I see the names will go V and what's the other one? Osempic osempic, so they're probably working with the pharma companies. Yeah, wow likely. That's why I'm curious about it Are publicly traded. Yeah, here's the stock at right now. Tell me where it's at four dollars. Oh, that's an easy buy Yeah, and tell me where it's been. Oh, yeah, good time last five years. Let's get it. Let's grab that. We should buy it What was the high there back and what is it? It was at $40 2021 $40 bro, let's grab that right now. That might be a good idea. You want to grab some of that done? Sure Let's do it. Yeah, you know, it's interesting about Hey, we might be accused of pumping the stock up Yeah, we have so much influence. We're allowed to do that. We're allowed to talk about something. We're buying like that. Don't we? Yeah, we are Well, what's the right now before this air? We're not telling anybody else to do that. We're just sharing that we did that Yeah, yeah, that's true. No, I'm on it. I'm gonna do it personally. I'll do it Yeah, these GLP ones are interesting because for the first time ever you actually have pharma companies seem to be battling snack food companies and food companies and The propaganda wars are kind of heating up and stuff, which is interesting like who's gonna Who's gonna win evil pharma or evil big food? What's the game? I mean partnering with someone like Weight Watchers is a boy is that a move? I think that's gonna be crazy. I'm especially since Weight Watchers is all about Restricting calories right and a point system and one of the greatest advantages the GLP ones is that it you don't have the cravings You don't want as much so the six and they Weight Watchers is obviously if they wouldn't have been around this long if they haven't proven to have success for their Clients, they're gonna have even more success. Well, the GLP ones would what's weird about them I was just talking to a family member because I have a family member. That's gonna it's gonna go on them Okay, and they're going through our partners at MP hormones calm I don't want to say who they are because I don't know if they want a public But it's a family member and she asked me about all of them and whatever and what do you think and What's what's interesting about the GLP ones is They do reduce they do they do make you eat less, but they don't seem to Curb appetite at all like any other intervention we've ever done Like they're typically stimulants is what they do like Adderall will do that, right? You give someone Adderall they want to eat less or you give them a stimulant they want to eat less a Federer did that Right makes you want to eat less They don't operate that way they seem to operate on the part of the brain Yeah, that seeks comfort and it affects your behaviors around that So this is why people are drinking less alcohol smoking less cigarettes. Yeah, they're not biting their nails They're like all that all their little habit interesting about it all the little habits are going down which include and we know this people overeat Because it's a it's it's they're abusing food like people the way that people abuse drugs It's really that's really plain and simple. I mean, you know, right before we were started recording I was sharing with you guys about our realtor down in Texas who just moved down to Cabo One of the things we were getting caught up we haven't talked to each other and like over a year and You know part of the motivation Cabo is like he did this huge lifestyle change and they both went on Ozympic for and lost 70 pounds. Yeah. Yeah, but each of them both him and his wife and like completely have changed life You know and so he's like raving about how amazing it was for him and I know there's like this There's a lot of controversy in our space around it and I think I always want us to be very careful on how we talk about it, right? Because because there's there are some benefits to it And I'm not I'm not completely anti it at all because there's it's showing to have some huge benefits for a lot of people And if it's something that helps you move in the right direction the counter and what the people in the fitness space that really don't like it that have been hammering it so hard is that if You don't pair it with hitting your protein intake and lifting weights you will lose as much muscle as you lose fat By the way, I want to be real clear. It's not the it's not the GLP one. That's right. That makes you lose muscle It's exactly what would happen to you if you cut your calories on your own That's why I'm so glad you said that because that's just what your body that happens to the same person who doesn't take a GLP one and just decides they're gonna go on this hardcore restricted diet They start intermittent fasting or they start the paleo diet They start some diet that they're gonna do where they're restricting calories and almost always they restrict calories And they don't get enough protein intake and then they do Yeah, and then that of course that here's why that here's why that happens people understand what happens When you cut your calories down suddenly and your body's getting no signal that it needs to keep muscle What it does is it pairs muscle down so that your metabolism can slow down and meet the new caloric intake Because as it reduces muscle because you're taking less calories in your burning So you're losing weight losing weight losing weight your body says we need to balance this out We don't want to lose weight forever. We'll die so it slows your metabolism down by making you lose muscle This would happen on a diet with or without a GLP one agonist That's right now that in other words just like we always say on the show If you're gonna cut your calories hit your protein intake Lift weights you got to give your body a signal that says we need muscle And you got to feed it adequate protein to do so and that'll minimize or even stop the muscle loss And then you'll just get the fat loss. It's not the GLP one that's doing it But the Pete the propaganda goes out to whatever now. Here's here's where I stand with GLP one They are effective of all the interventions. I've seen their head and shoulders better They're less dangerous by far though There's a shit with that that they used to sell for fat loss and weight loss were terrible Yeah, cause heart problems all stuff. GLP ones don't seem to do that at all But it is not the cure all end all if you go on one of these The ideal way to do it is to use it as a bridge To learn new behaviors and to rewire your brain and to figure out new habits and and create new disciplines Because otherwise you're reliant on this GLP one agonist and you'll have to be on it for long long long or forever periods of time but the Conversation I'm having with my client if they if they are wanting to use this or they do this And but and I've had clients that were past clients of mine that have now used it And then we've actually talked and they've asked my opinion on it and I showed them said listen If if you came to me and in a month you lose six pounds And so you think you're excited but then when I go and I look at your diet and I see your missing protein intake by 50% every single day I'm gonna want you to stop because I know that that weight loss that you had as much of it is Muscle as it is fat even though you're doing all these other things that are great You're gonna end up losing muscle also because you're eating so low calorie and you're not even Now the other the opposite is true if my client says man I'm doing great, and I'm I'm hitting my protein every single day, and I've seen I've lost six pounds I'm way too. I'm like then then awesome that it's gonna help do what you so this family member that I have That's gonna be doing this and again She asked me what should I do and I said go to MP hormones calm talk to them We trust them and then here's what I advise and the reason why I advised her and said to her I think a GLP one might be something you want you can try because she said I want to try this What do you think she's been lifting weights now? Consistently for a year. So it's been about a year that she's been lifting weights. She's been eating adequate protein She's having challenges with food because she's created some bad behaviors around the food And so I told her specifically all right when you go on this It's gonna help rewire some of these behaviors and actions that you have around food But they will wire themselves back if you don't work on the discipline and the structure and the behaviors around it So that's what she's gonna do. She's gonna go on and do the whole thing which by you know, by the way if you go through The pharma companies. It's it's like the brand name brand name ozempic It's semi-glutide semi-glutide is there so it's like buying You know the brand name rollerblades versus traditional rollerblades or been a drill versus the safe way It's the same. It's the same medication. It's the same ibuprofen. It's a peptide the same thing So if you go through our people or other people like that, you're still getting pharmaceutical grade It's still going through a you know a compounding pharmacy. It's still under regulation It's just way less expensive because it's not you know the pharma company or whatever What's the typical cycle with that? Like what do they when they get somebody to first, you know Good question hop on that. Yeah, I'm just think it's like three or six months The average person loses 15% of their body weight. Look that up. I'm gonna confirm that that's a significant Well, I was just thinking because you know, there are some situations like my dad for instance to who's like limited Mobility-wise the need had like double knee replacements and you know, I'm already working with him with peptides for BPC and so starting to get yeah And he's starting to get some progress in terms of mobility and movement and being able to you know exercise more consistently But he packed on a lot of weight, you know, and so I was like, you know Looking into it a bit but again, like, you know, healthy. I've I've tried ad nauseam to get him to Yeah, you know listened as far as like the right types of disciplines to apply my so I'll tell a bad story I have a friend who did it who did some aglutide and hated it made him feel nauseous Yeah, I like the way he felt so he went completely off. So yeah again that goes back to our advice We always do that too. It's like if your body's telling you it doesn't like yeah But I think here's what I think I think This preliminary data on helping people break habits That's fucking wild. Yeah, could you imagine? Curious at all because it's like, you know, if it can impact the way that you think and like You know changes a little bit with alcohol and shit like that's huge. That's crazy You know just for that alone. So anyway, I gotta tell you speaking of family and stuff my little baby girl She's just just just my little angel and that I wanted so my 14 year old Love her to death, you know great relationship the whole deal But I never got the and she knows this because she's a she's a little shit She's never she was never like the daddy's girl She is when she wants something but she was never like the you hear the stories you see people daddy's really jumped a daddy I want to be with daddy all the time. I think my little baby's like that. I'm so pumped I was eating lunch the other day and she don't want to go no one She just want to sit on my lap and hug me the whole time and I'm like, I'm just like number one. Love it number two Oh fuck But she was just hugging me like the whole time and then she kept looking up at me and smiling and then hugging me the whole Time and I was just like man if you could talk you can literally tell me to do whatever you I suppose I hope never ends. You know I'm saying I hope I can manage that all the way through his life That he'll still be that person. Yeah, I saw that go ahead Doug Oh, I was just gonna say have an update on the Russell Brunson thing Oh, so he is a parent coach at this school And it was his son that was wrestling and apparently this kid got him around the neck in a hole that was illegal At least according to Russell and so that's why he jumped in You watch the video though, right? You see him he punches the kid twice. Yeah, that's not cool So according this he was getting a little bit like stressed out, you know, because he was yelling to the referee You know, he's got a legal hold. He's choking my son. Yeah He took matters into his own hands. Yeah, I look I get that as a parent dad, but you know punch a little kid Yeah, that's that's a bit excessive. Yeah I mean, I feel like I've 14 year old kids that are wrestling like that does that I feel like I can get in there and like Pull the kid off. Yeah, right and punch the rat. You want to hit anybody? Yeah, yeah, yeah, break them up Yeah, yeah, I feel like I could buy and I would pull from my son, right and like separate like that He went in you see him. Yeah. Oh, yeah I mean you couldn't tell it TV But if you guys watch the video I said in the in the group thread you up you see He cocks back and throws two punches to the kid's head. So it's not like yeah, that's not a good idea Yeah, yeah, that's a little that's a little excessive to have to do that. He could have really hurt him. Yeah Oh, no, of course Yeah, I gotta tell you about something I've been trying I've been trying something called that I want to tell you guys About Vegas nerve stimulation So you guys know we talked with Dr. Conn about the Vegas nerve and what it's responsible for and how it communicates with the gut That's not the one that you go to the prostate to get to No, I'm not gonna do what you told me No Vegas nerve 8 can it's a fight-or-flight Control or fight flight or freeze control or whatever and you can look up Studies on Vegas nerve stimulation for things like depression inflammation Gut issues all these different things. So we talked to Dr. Conn he talked about this procedure He does re-injects the Vegas nerve with certain peptides or whatever so that let me down a rabbit hole and I looked up Vegas nerve Non-invasive Vegas nerve stimulation and there's evidence that shows that it actually works I bought myself a device and I've been using it the past couple days look like yeah So it goes around your neck No affiliation, so I'm not gonna say the name right but anyway goes around your neck sits where both sides of it Sit where the Vegas nerve is and then you you hit these programs And then it says and sends electrical impulses. So you feel the muscles flex to but it stimulates this the Vegas nerve Now I've only done it twice But each time or three times I should say each time I do it. I do notice afterwards I get really calm like this really weird calm as a release Yeah, dude, so I'm gonna keep using it and I'll let you guys know yeah, that's what you talk about It's like it sounds real interesting especially for like competitive athletes and just people that have like Something where you know, it's like a lot of anxiety going into this event or anything like that to be able to You know do something like that to relieve you of all that But I'm gonna use it consistently because it takes about a week or two super interesting Yeah, I can't wait to get was it expensive The one I got was like 200 something bucks to somewhere. I mean yeah crazy. I sometimes those things could be ridiculous Yeah, so I don't know how crazy I saw that on the the shout out today that Andrew had yeah, Andrew had a suggestion What'd you got for us?

I'm on a reverse diet I don't want to weigh myself because it messes with my mind How do I know my metabolism is improving? Oh That's a great question without weighing yourself positive signs include an improvement in energy More strength in the gym The your body feels tighter and more sculpted weighing yourself is oftentimes part of the formula because you're trying to see if you're Gaining too much weight, you know, and you can slow down the the reverse body fat testing can do this as well Otherwise, it's going to be based off a feel in my opinion in in a improving quote unquote metabolism feels Typically like more energy more strength. Yeah more energy bigger appetite more strength in the gym and Feeling like you look like you're not really gaining or losing any weight. Like that's a good sign, right? Even though you're not using the scale you look at yourself in the mirror and I'm like, man, I know I'm eating more food I'm I want even more food on top of that. I'm getting stronger in the gym I feel good. These are all things that were and it doesn't mean that necessarily All of them have to be happening for you to necessarily be doing it, right? But those are the key indicators that I'm asking a client who we're trying not to weigh We're reverse dieting and we're training is I'm looking for us hitting new new prs and lifts I'm looking for man. I feel so good. I'm looking for item I actually want to eat more even like those are all signs that our metabolism is is boosting. Yeah getting It's so Key with the reverse diet to see that your strength seems to be improving like if you're reverse dieting And you're not really getting stronger in the gym or worse getting weaker Check out your workout your workout programming is off What you don't want to do is a reverse diet and not get stronger that that may mean you're you're just going to be Putting on body fat or you're just Over-training or training in a in a in the wrong way. Is it safe to say she's a team peanut butter? Next question is from jm bird 76 I was listening to some old episodes and the protein recommended was 0.5 to 0.7 grams per pound When and why did that change to one ground? No, it didn't it was zero We've been saying this since day one that there's a difference between the Recommended rda and then there's a difference between what we say. Well, no, they're referring. They're not referring to the rda rda is Well, they're referring to yellow Yeah, what they're referring to is the studies on protein intake and here's what the studies show Well, no, they're referring to what we have said on the show And the only time we've ever talked about 0.5 to 0.7 is that's what the minimum people should to take and we've never Straight from that, but it's always easier to tell a client one to one I think I think okay, so okay So I I know I've specifically brought up studies and the studies show That the upper limit For benefit that you're going to get from protein is like 0.6 to 0.8 grams per pound of body weight That's what they're referring to rda is per kilograms even hats half of this essentially Now the reason why we don't say and I'll refer to studies sometimes and say that but why do I say a gram? Why do we all say a gram everybody misses? So then they miss and they end up in the end and not only that even if you go over it's you're fine And there's actually studies this is support with trained athletes and people that are training really hard better 1.5 is good. It's just so one is a good good Base and it's easy math too. Yeah for people. It is you tell someone eat 0.6 grams per pound of target body weight Yeah, huh? Never said to a client one gram Per pound of body weight what your target body weight is it's super easy for people and almost everybody misses it By a little bit on a regular basis Which puts them still on that that that zone of what would be considered upper limit now You're right adam eating more than that Obviously if you're count for calorie controlled diet, right? So we're not talking about like your calories going too high but eating more than that may have additional benefits for people who train hard And satiety right so if you have a really hard time with your appetite You could trade out some of your carbs for protein or even some of your fats for protein So long as you don't eat under what's called essential And you'll find more satiety effects from protein than you will the other two macronutrients Next question is from garth kahill I'm hearing people say they eat a lot of grams of protein and when I ask about portions It seems really low Do you think a lot of people don't realize that a hundred grams of chicken breast isn't a hundred grams of protein? I've come to realize a lot of people have a misconception Margaret who does some of our info at mindputtmedia.com or no sorry our chat on our website the mindputt media site where people can ask questions This is a problem. She's on there and she brought this up yesterday So yesterday I did our our my meeting that I do with the team on that side And she said yeah several people Were telling me that they were eating 200 grams of protein a day or whatever and she's like she and then she figured out they think A gram of meat equals a gram of protein Well, no or they think that it's a protein food and then however many grams that protein food That's how many grams of protein. No, so that's where this comes from is like somebody's like, oh, it's uh, you know Chicken is obviously a protein food would fall in that category. Oh, they weighed out Oh, this protein food weighs a hundred grams. So therefore I'm eating a hundred grams of protein. It's like no A chicken brat a six ounce chicken breast is only at about 32 to 38 grams of protein in it That's all you're getting in and that's a big six to eight ounce chicken breast. Yeah, so there's not the math for this What what she is what she's asking her there a hundred grams. Yeah, what's what's a hundred grams way less than that I'll figure it out right now 31 grams So 31 grams of protein are in a hundred grams of chicken breast. It is not all pure Protein, you know, you're not even a protein powder works that way when it's supposed to be, you know It's close to being pure protein as possible. So when you're trying to calculate your protein Use a food calculator or you know, like an app Because a hundred grams of meat is not a hundred grams of protein and people So like I said, she was working with someone and this woman was like Just not getting the results not figuring out and then And so she had to kind of boy because she was giving her macros and then she had to boil it down and she's like, oh Yeah, thankfully that information is so easy to it's so easily accessible now Yeah, you know, it used to be like the calorie king you'd have that little book and you'd have to kind of refer to You know what that equated to but it's just like, yeah, there's so many apps now that you can go through I had a client once that thought that heavier foods Made you get more weight. Oh, yeah, so he made the argument like no no cotton candy I love that. Wow. I love that and I can see the logic right like how can this make me gain more weight Than this heavy piece of meat right here You know, that's pretty funny. It's basically air you get Okay, that's hilarious You know, I the reason why we hammer this home on the podcast so much is because of all the years of all the people That we've dealt with it's just almost everybody. It's I never once never once if I I take that back. It's not true There's been times where somebody is is suffering from digestive issues and they're complaining about something and then I assess And I go, wow, they're eating a lot of protein. I'm gonna have this person scale back So that is a rare rare case, but almost always People are and and people who think they're hitting enough protein are not hitting enough protein Like not just people who are like, I'm not sure or no I'm probably not people who go like oh, yeah, I eat enough protein. Those people are always wrong They always think that because in their head they go, oh, I'm a big meat eater I eat meat and eggs for breakfast. I have a lunch I eat meat and I eat dinner again. I eat meat and I eat big servings of the meat That's still not enough for people. Anyone who weighs 175 180 pounds or more. Yeah, they're eating like 75 grams of protein right there What I just and that's good servings of meat on meal two meal three and four eggs five eggs six eggs for breakfast You're still under eating. Well, they're full. So, you know, it's just equates to that in their mind that it's probably adequate Yeah, yeah, so that this is why you hear us hammer this so much is because it's just and man What a quick easy way to show somebody like immediate someone who's already been training and they think they've been dying Yes immediate results the needle you've been you've been you've been Hammering away. I was you know, this is just my my mom my my mom's husband. We're discussing this and he's like He's telling me how consistent he's been. He's like, man, I'm just Adam I'm not I'm not getting any stronger in the gym not building any muscle And then I and he's a big dude, right? So he's like 250 is what he was a big tall guy And I started asking him about his protein intake and he's like he's probably eating like 50 grams of protein at best A day and I'm like, how long he's training five days a week for less year Yeah, and it's just not moving anywhere. I'm like, oh my god. I'm like literally This is the guy that adds he'll add a scoop or two a protein and be like Exactly I said, listen You're way far from where I want you to be But all I want you to do right now is literally just add a scoop of protein every single day And I bet you you're already starting to see changes just from that even though you're still Halfway to where I need you to be Just getting you to which by the way too is what reinforces this protein market because People people take it they take it and then all of a sudden man I feel so good when I take it I build muscle. It's like well, it's because you were under eating protein Next question is from merit. Larissa Is it a good idea to do a De-loading week after each phase of a workout plan First let's talk about what a de-load week is so essentially a de-load week is you go to the gym You still work out, but everything's like 50 percent, right? So 50 percent weight 50 percent reps 50 percent intensity It's like It's like going to the gym and doing the easiest workout of all time or Not working out at all and maybe just focusing on movement and mobility Now here's what's interesting about de-load weeks The data shows that when hard training athletes and people who strength training with it when they do this They get more muscle gain during the de-load week than they do than they do on the other things Yeah, allow their body to recover and receive all the benefits I was never you know, I was always like well, I'll take some time off and go easy when I feel like a type of deal Now I'm I'm slowly becoming a proponent of scheduling de-load weeks because I see these with myself now quite a bit. So now what I do is every Probably every four weeks or so I do a week of really easy workouts Not only do I not lose gains, but I kind of start to feel really good And then when I come back I'm always improved and I schedule them because What I've noticed and this is for me right trainer Fitness podcast husband in this forever I by the time I think I need a de-load week. I'm probably two weeks past when I actually needed one So and if you look at all of the Best workout plans that are out there, which are typically the ones that are for strength sports like powerlifting and olympic lifting They all periodize some form Of a de-load week. They all include some form of a de-load week in there. So yeah, I think I mean the intense type programming I think this like applies the most if you're going to try and do something like this where you're really scheduling it in And you're really getting after it, but in terms of like going in between different phases of our workout plans Not not necessary. I mean if you're doing everything in terms of like the Listening to your body resting adequately in between your your foundational Workouts and you're you're you're doing the things that we we prescribe in terms of like mobility days and you know And you're you're sort of like oscillating between those, you know, high intensity low intensity days Like it's unnecessary. It's really for the the people that are like they're they're doing a whole lot And they're usually too much they're consistently doing it. They're they're high intensity This this makes a massive impact for those kind of people. There's there's I'm really careful about how I answer This question's been out I've been asked this question a bunch of times and I'm really careful about how I respond to it because There's obvious value for certain people With this there's only one person in this room who I think I if I was training any of you who I would ever Schedule a de-load week and it's the guy who's obsessed with training all the time and never misses Everybody else naturally has a de-load The rest of us all life happens and we actually have a week where we miss training It just organically happens in our lives Sal's the only one that doesn't do that. So I would if I was training each every person in this room He's the only one I would be like, okay, this guy's got a lot on his plate He's got four kids. He never misses a workout. He's always pushing it hard Okay, Sal next month you and I are gonna do this and I would make him Everybody else in here is had enough times in the year where they have Life makes them have a de-load. Yeah. Yeah. And so and I think most clients are that way So it really does depend on the person that I'm talking to on whether I would schedule Something like this now to Justin's point the way we've faced maps programs You would never have to do that You should be able to follow program after program and maybe you go to a program with less volume Like maybe you just came out of maps aesthetic And so following maps aesthetic up again may make you feel like you need to de-load But if you would have went over to maps performance Or a symmetry after that like that would naturally Reduce the intensity reduce the volume that would be great for the without any breaks whatsoever So it really really depends On the the client if I would do this and I'm careful about talking about it because I understand obviously I understand The science and the and the value of de-load weeks for your extreme athletes and people like Sal But that's a very small percentage of the fanatics, you know, you know, which programs of all of the programs that we have which programs I think People would benefit from doing a deal a week only because the programs I'm about to mention Well, first off one of our programs has de-load weeks in them. That's maps and a bulk advance Yeah, that program has de-load weeks scheduled in but there's two programs that I think People would benefit from an inserting a couple de-load weeks And it's mainly because they're high volume workouts And because the typical consumer that we have that buys them Probably is overstepping a bit like I know When we get a caller and they're talking to us and we're like, oh, you like to over train And I was like, oh, let me guess what program you're on maps aesthetic Yeah For sure, right But like map split maps aesthetics like a path the people that like to run those consistently They'll benefit from from from de-load weeks. But yeah, you're right. I mean you guys follow programs the way we lay them out Yeah, you'll be totally fine. It's all programmed in baked in there.
