Your body can't adapt without recovery. That's why in addition to prioritizing weekly recovery we sometimes need a deload, where training load is dramatically reduced to "supercharge" recovery. It's like an oil change for our body. The study I referenced in which men who took multiple 3 week breaks throughout the course of a 24 week training cycle saw the same gains as men wh...

Hi guys! No guest for the full length Wednesday episode this week- so I wanted to share some thoughts on pragmatic staples of Beyond Fit with some notes on macros (how I've changed my mind on them, carb or fat emphasis, "power meals") and mindset (the hidden benefit to cold showers, loving yourself, the low-information diet). Enjoy! 

Some anecdotes have just always stuck with me, like the story of Ronnie Coleman throwing out the vegetables he had put with his chicken and rice. This episode offers a unique look at the 80/20 principle of diet and exercise and a reminder not to get caught up on the little things.

-Nick has been battling with PCS or post concussion syndrome for much of his adult life, recently he's had some acutely tough times. He was generous enough to come on my show to share some of his journey and how it has changed since he was last on the show, as well as sharing messages that are important to him about anxiety/depression and thinking you can "tough it out." Timestamps: 2:09- Nick’s p...

We tend to think very rigidly about the way we spend our time, even though, unlike other resources like money, it's the only thing we can't get back! How do you balance things like spending time with friends and family or dating with your workouts? What's more important, a good night's rest or an early morning workout? Hear my thoughts on these questions in this episode.

After dialing in your nutrition by understanding caloric (energy) balance and high protein, as well as understanding the importance of progressive overload and compound weightlifting in training, you will find lots of benefit in learning how to recover better. I can say from personal experience that prioritizing recovery has been one of the biggest changes I’ve made in order to look and feel bette...

We can't be on top of our game all the time. In this episode I talk about some of my recent struggles with not being able to eat and lift like I normally do, as well as what big rocks help keep me from losing too much progress, and how to avoid the perfectionist mentality.
