Knight Cypher Road to fitness

It's been a little bit since Deejay and Cypher yapped about just their lives and fitness journeys.  Cypher has been dealing with a shoulder problem, Deejay’s streak came to an end and we’ve got ten episodes in. What’s up with that? Note that we are not fitness coaches, dietitians or certified trainers. We're just two regular people sharing our fitness journey's as we walk different paths on the sa...

Ok but why all these scams though? CONTINUED It's easy to get hooked in by the promise of “burn away belly fat” or “become unrecognizable in just four weeks with my program!” but how do people wind up suckered by the folks who are selling you snake oil while raising the alarm bells about the evils of “seed oils”! Deejay & Cypher:  Green powders Cycle syncing Carbs will kill you But Protein will sa...

For real, why is everything about building your glute shelf? Everything is about your glute shelf, your glute max, etc. What is the obsession about getting a big ass?

You’ve got gouda abs with Jay Britton Ok but why all these scams though? It's easy to get hooked in by the promise of “burn away belly fat” or “become unrecognizable in just four weeks with my program!” but how do people wind up suckered by the folks who are selling you snake oil while raising the alarm bells about the evils of “seed oils”! Deejay: Be a fitness coach in four weeks Yoga is not for...

Deejay: Fuck shame. Shame keeps you from moving. I think it comes from “polite society” and low key people not wanting to see you doing better than them so you get that embedded in your subconscious. Gotta “shrink” yourself to not buck the trend. Fuck that, you’re worth taking up space. Cypher: See also FUCK SHAME There’s no winning when you try to shame someone for doing the things we rail at ove...

WHY IS EVERYTHING FULL OF PROTEIN??!! Deejay: WHY IS THERE SO LITTLE PROTEIN IN EVERYTHING! Having to find ways to make sure I’m eating enough meats & protein is odd. Need to buy protein powder & start adding it to my oatmeal. I need to invest in Fairlife milk so I can start eating homemade healthy ice cream while paying myself in the process lol. Cypher: This labeling everything with PROTEIN! is...

Gettin back to the gym. Let’s talk about how we’ve dealt with setting foot back in the iron temple after years away. Deejay:  Texted to Cypher: “You miss the gym. That’s beyond ‘I’m trying to be a beast’ energy. You’re already there, you just haven’t fully admitted it to yourself yet” Need to start properly lifting iron again. Thus far, this leg of the journey has been cardio centric. Cypher: Text...

Noting the Differences: Once you put in the work and see it for yourself. It gets fuckin weird, let’s talk about it. Deejay:  The wardrobe change is real. Been popping tags in thrift shops & Ross/TJ Maxx for REAL. Small body changes I keep finding. Seeing what “feel” like sunken cheeks is really just my face without the extra weight. The ‘V’ has returned to my waistline, making me feel like a supe...

Who we are, why we’re doing this podcast, and what we’re doing on our journeys Deejay:  The Catalyst for Change: Single life & being unhappy with the me in the mirror. The Process: Find a time in the day that would work for regular movement & act on it. KEEP DOING THAT SHIT Cypher :  Medical issues required a radical change of diet and habits. Also medications caused medical weight loss as an unin...
