You and I are going to drink a lot of coffee together. Like, borderline dangerous amounts of coffee.
So, first things first. Pour yourself a mug and I’ll introduce myself real quick.
My name’s Jordan - but everyone calls me “J” - and I’m a 27th degree black belt in chugging coffee.
I’m also strength & nutrition coach, I hold several powerlifting world records, and I’ve been fortunate enough to have my writing featured in a variety of outlets like CNN, the Huffington Post, and Schwarzenegger.com.
But listen.
This channel isn’t for fame, publicity, cash, props, fist bumps, likes, pings, pows or whatever else there is.
It’s a place where you and I can chat.
I’ll never sugar coat, lie, or beat around the bush. I’ll tell you everything exactly as I see it. Some stuff you might like. Others you might not.
And that’s totally cool.
Either way, my goal here is to create a discussion. A place where you and I can get together, exchange ideas, and motivate each other to be better every day.
Like I said, we’re gonna drink a lot of coffee together - borderline dangerous amounts - but I’m excited. Because there aren’t too many online communities in which the sole purpose is to inspire and motivate one another.
And that’s exactly what you and I are going to do here.
To your success,
-J

This is EASILY one of the top three fitness and health channels I've ever found, and I've followed dozens. No one else encapsulates balance, sustainability, health, honesty, and happiness the way you do. It's awesome.
Thank you so much my friend.
I’d love to give you a free month in The IC. Email me jordan@syattfitness.com and I’ll set you up :)
I agree
Love this guy! God bless his soul. I was always so afraid to actually eat and enjoy myself. The minute I changed my mindset I started losing. He’s so honest genuine and funny. No one else no one else is as honest and genuine as him
Agreed 1000%
It's the BEST Health Channel....all these other wannabe's who states that Cardio makes you FAT...like V-Shred.....he thinks he has his major's in Fitness and Nutrition....he's an irritation beyond I wanna have a shit when one of he's add's just pops up...WTF...and then the women says it works....wonder how much he paid them??
I just broke down this morning crying. I’ve lost 45 pounds because of your videos and recently haven’t lost anything. I needed this. Thank you
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
You're doing great!!!!
Keep it up. Dont give up.
Alyssa-that is such a HUGE accomplishment! I know it's hard and depressing-but you can do this!!!!
@@sattice thank you!!! It’s so hard. I’ve been stuck in this rut of not losing any weight. When you lose 10 pounds every month for 5 months and then nothing it doesn’t feel like a huge accomplishment. But I’m just gunna push through it!!!
You know what, Jordan.... I really am SO grateful for coaches and professionals like you that put out content like this because there are SO many others out there putting out trash and it’s so discouraging. Then I come here and it’s so refreshing to hear someone else that has a brain! Keep doing what you’re doing!!
Thank you so much!!!!
I am currently stuck in a plateau for 3 weeks. I lost 63 pounds in 60 days and went from 403 to 340. During these 3 weeks of plateau I've been in a caloric deficit everyday and perfect with my intermittent fasting and I also did a 72 hour fast and broke it correctly. I also do plenty of strength training, 10k steps along with HIIT. I'm doing everything right but it's like jordan says, every so often your body gets comfortable with where it is and you stop losing weight. All I know is I have to be consistent and stay the course that got me where I am at now and I know I will break through. Life is a marathon not a sprint.
63 lb is an accomplishment! Keep going, in a calorie deficit
@sarabennett6295 thank you for that. I am now down to 140 pounds since posting that. I now weigh 263.
The permission to simply give yourself a break once in a while is vital. I've had several different members of the family come to visit recently. And beyond not being all that excited to see people who decided to vacation during a pandemic I was stressing out because it's much harder to eat healthy when other people are around who aren't eating the same way. So instead of irritating everyone with diet restrictions I just decided I probably wouldn't lose any weight while they were there, ate reasonable meals, and once they left refocused on getting back on track.
So encouraging! Sharing with everyone. I've lost 60 pounds in 10 months following your content and can say everything you just shared is so spot on and I am consistently shouting it from the roof tops because it's life changing! Stay awesome. #SortingHatSquad
You're crushing it!!!!!
The tyre analogy was perfect. I would also add in 'I will start on Monday' or 'when Im ready' or 'after this event' etc etc
I love your remark, “faster is not better”, That’s what she said”. Lol. I love how your so real. Or did you have too much tequila in this video. 😂😂
Every time you do funny things like trying to take a shot without a face or buying American flag pants I just think of that thing you do on Instagram when you say mom: Jordan what do you do for work again? Lolol. Living the dream!
Hahahah I appreciate you, Carey.
I love this man, especially on the part where you shouldn't base your worth on the scale. People have attached their worth on the scale which makes them stop most of the time.
I am 71, had two botched hip replacements and have to now hang onto a walker to get around. I cannot exercise as I should and have downloaded videos of chair exercises. I feel I am on the wrong channel, but I have learned so much from you already concerning my 50 year struggle with overweight, that I am hopeful again of at least not dying FAT. Thank you!
That coffee must be cold at the end of the video hahaha didn't take a single sip :p Just discovered your channel and I love your honesty!
That's when you know he's in his zone. Lol
#SortingHatSquad
Love this guy he's a straight talking dude about health, fitness and fat loss. Thank you Jordan
#shortinghatsquad
I love when you said, "Who cares if you can lose weight in 10 days, 20 days, 30 days if you gain it all back and more at the end of it?" THIS IS SO TRUE!
Finding you changed my life. And I am so glad to see you making new content on youtube again.
The best pep talk ever I needed it!!!
Oh My God THANK YOU, I NEEDED THIS, Especially about the throwing everything out the window bc of making a mistake and trying to be perfect, it's like living in a prison in your mind and flares up anxiety
Very interesting and truthful video, I remember last year I was traumatized at why I was not losing weight after doing 1 hour cycling almost daily, I was not doing strength training at all. Thanks to your videos I started focusing more on strength training, a more sustainable diet and started losing weight again. #SortingHatSquad
Thank you for doing this! With online school and gym closures I have been struggling to get over the fact that I haven’t lost anything in the past 4 months.
#SortingHatSquad
Great video. Impressive shots 💪🏻
Super grateful there are people out there like you who spread all the knowledge and talk about the mental aspects of weight loss. I had been maintaining a 75lb loss for 3 years but in 2020 my mental health took a nose dive and I gained some back. You and Susan inspired me start going to therapy and I'm finally at a place where I just started trying to lose again 🙌🏼 You guys have helped me so much to stop being so hard on myself and to not give up. Currently doing the 14 day rapid fat loss (and squat supremacy) and excited to start using the editions afterwards. Thanks for sharing all of your knowledge and experience #sortinghatsquad
#SortingHatSquad Thank you for the scale info. Really trying the slow approach for weight loss to make it more sustainable. slow and steady. Susan and you are awesome! Thank you for the thoughtful content.
Hey Jordan! So happy to be part of the IC and the #SortingHatSquad !
Your bluntness is refreshing and it’s exactly what I needed. Thank you!
I’m beyond baffled that people would not watch your whole videos - you give the most educational content in the most entertaining formats 🤓🌟 love it!! Even if fat loss is not my goal right now, I still watch to learn!
#sortinghatsquad
You have been such a blessing to my journey. Thank you for being direct and putting things in perspective in such an easy to understand way.
I've been following your cal/protein guidelines for just a few weeks and this past Saturday I felt I needed a break, so I told myself I'd still track because data is awesome but I didn't need to stress about hitting specific goals. I had what I wanted, a cookie, a slice of pizza, etc. and although my protein was lower than normal, my calories were right on point. I'm losing slow, but I'm okay with it. I'm being consistent for once and it feels GREAT!
Really needed this! Thanks!!
Great stuff as usual Jordan...thank you!
Treat yourself like you would treat your best friend!! Gold content
#SortingHatSquad
Couldn't agree more J, having lost 124lbs over the past three years being objectively aware & adopting a sustainable fat loss mentality is EVERYTHING #SortingHatSquad P.S. I nearly wet myself when you said 'weighing & measuring every f-ing ice cube!'
Great video. Told it like it is.
I needed this so much!!! Thank you Jordan for these great, super informative and helpful videos!!
So motivational!! 100% needed this.
#SortingHatSquad. Thanks for all you do. I'm now down 116 lbs. I'm 14 lbs from goal. (Started health journey January 2019 taking diet breaks and maintaining along the way.)
#sortinghatsquad
Honestly so glad I found your channel Jordan!!! I have lost 14kgs in the last 6 months with help from your no BS views on fat loss and am now learning about gaining some strength for the first time in my life. The best part is I actually am ENJOYING exercising now, its not a chore its a necessity in my life. Not only that but my relationship with food is on the mend, very much in part to you. I no longer beat myself up for days after eating an icecream, or starve myself the day after eating a pizza. So thank you, thank you, thank you for the content you put out and keep it coming - it really helps so much!!!
I love this so much. I sometimes feel like a broken record reiterating these exact points with my clients. When it finally clicks with them it’s an amazing, life-changing moment. Thank you for your common sense bluntness. I appreciate you so much. #sortinghatsquad
Your video's are so helpful! I love the approach!
You NEVER disappoint. My relationship with the scale has never been so healthy. I owe it to YOU! #SortingHatSquad
I needed this video. I was so down on myself for scale going up. And I didn’t weigh myself for 2 weeks, and I did binge afterwards, and felt down on myself. Thanks for making me feel better,
I did the exact same thing today when I got on the scale. I lost 6 pounds over a month & a half. When I got on the scale this morning it jumped up 4 pounds. I was so upset because I was staying on track with exercise and nutrition and I STILL gained weight. I said f-it & dove head first into a bag of pork rinds 🤷♀️
I’m pretty good at staying on track and also treating myself but it is really nice to hear you talk about number 3 to keep me sane and happy with my choices.
So many epiphany's in one post!! I can relate to every single one of those points and I have possibly been guilty of nearly all of them. I bloody love you and I keep your voice in my head when I hop on the scales and see nothing changing because just the fact that I'm off the couch and exercising and eating better is a win. Thankyou.
This is just what i needed!
Right!!
New subscriber here. Thank you so much for the amazingly helpful content! I had a baby (at 35 years old) 6 years ago. I gained 100 lbs between pregnancy and the first 6 months postpartum. I finally got serious about losing it and have lost 20 pounds so far.
I just wanted to comment on the part about the scale. So true. I actually weighed myself a few times a day when I first started. It helped me, to see how much my weight fluctuated through the day, to not freak out if I gained a couple of pounds, because I do gain and lose 1-2 lbs daily. I also only log a loss (or gain) if it’s at least 3 pounds, sustained by at least 3 days.
Love all of these!!! Thanks for always spreading the good word!!!
Jordan this is amazing!!! So true! Thanks for this!
I wish I had access to this kind of content in my teenage years. Good job :)
The point you made about weight loss and health hit so hard. In 2019 I lost 30 lbs but I was literally only eating probably 800-1200 calories a day and those calories were from complete shit food. I ate like a trash panda, had very little energy and didn't work out but I did love the weigh i looked. Come 2020, lock down and an unexpected surgery and I've gained 20lbs back and still have a terrible mindset with food because I lost weight but not in a healthy way. Struggling so much with not going back to completely restricting and learning to be healthy. #sortinghatsquad
Fantastic video... needed this.
Absolutely love this!!! Will be saving and sharing!! ❤️❤️ thank you Jordan!! 🙏🏻
Funny how the first recommended video for me after this one is "the no cardio way to train". 🤣
I've lost a lot of weight thanks to you. I definitely need to lose a lot more but at least now I know that I can do it, just need to get back on track. It's incredible how you can go from 'oh no, I've gained a pound, I'm doing everything wrong' to 'I've gained a pound, cool" and not giving up after realizing that it's not that I'm doing everything wrong, it's just that I'm not actually consistent enough. Now I really need to get back on track and stop being overweight. Let's do this! 🙌
#SortingHatSquad
#SortingHatSquad
Literally the ad that popped up at the end of your video was some lady saying “If you’re trying to lose belly fat, stop doing cardio” 🤣🤦🏻♀️ anyways...thanks for your content!
spot on! Love this video!
I did enjoy this video, thanks Jordan! 👍
You are seriously an answer to my prayers, thank you! Thank you for your honesty and bluntness on the reality of weight loss. Weigh and measure your ice cubes 🤣
Probably a bad idea to listen at work without headphones, I forgot about the fbombs! Lol
But I needed this today, I have hit a down mood about weight loss this week so this was a nice kick in the butt!
#SortingHatSquad
🤣🤣🤣
Thank you!!! Great breakdown! 👊👊💕
Thanks Jordan for always keeping it real, I will really apply all this knowledge to my process of loosing weight
Us doorman take pride in certain cool tenants, and we hate to see them move after establishing relationship
I'm actually looking forward to weekends after getting to my goal weight. Only 20lbs to go!
You got this!
always so informative Jordan! Thank you :)
#SortingHatSquad seriously came at the perfect time! I have an appointment with a nutritionist today and I’m hella apprehensive. Not because I feel like I’m going to be judged but because I’m worried that I’ll keep making excuses for myself. No one can do this for me. I have to take responsibility. And videos like this help so much. Thanks Jordan!! 😊
I feel like the fitness industry is this vast field of bullshitters with a few spotlights of sane/rational professionals who give us the straight goods. So happy I found one of them... thank you for your content. 🙌
Open discussion about gymnastics ( study third world countries or universities ( opportunities for being there for those family school needs while you consume electricity and eat less or more I don’t care ( your body to your own self and now share your happiness to gymnastics team outside for instance more family and teamwork can dream about Athena Olympic opportunities from small countries
Make sense? Nepal? Examples how many players can dream to have body usa imagine inside out ( charity ? Basically athletic family training center always come home with golden medals ( cooperation great like wise we all labor for some ways as secretary to factory to Starbucks cashiers
Let’s talk about vegan and go on diets ( as you recite your sincerely information to TH-cam viewers (turn into outermost?) good
Or large scale/ gym owners and costs ( no more contradictions the USA every day choice burn fat and buy staff it is great week to start my opportunities to stay healthy ( I am thankful that I am responsible for all types of women ( body relationships with food as co workers/ I see some big time show ( experts friendly yet obviously/ nutrition experts) thank you for sharing your coffee chat the coffee was really worth to most and churches the coffee and Michael Jordan ( lots of things to just say it then I catch some people actual behavior ( various of negative things in life here usa ) father( what father does , before Christ/ stupid news every year/ overweight dad relaxed based it is ok let’s dad go vegan etc bye

I felt personally attacked by "Karen did it." 😂
My new favorite channel!!
These were great and you are very entertaining!
I am struggling to change my lifestyle. Each and every reason why people fail is a slap in the face because that’s me. I have one bad day and I say I’ll start Monday. I don’t want to be this way. I don’t want to be lazy or unmotivated any longer. #SortingHatSquad
Don't call yourself names. You're not lazy and unmotivated. Lazy and unmotivated people don't try. You're trying.
There is something suspiciously “Super Mario” about the stash..
Lol agreed!
Great video as always. Saving this to favorites
This video REALLY hit home for me and made me think about a number of things I’ve been doing currently that really aren’t sustainable if I am being honest with myself. Thanks so much for this and your continued honesty! It’s truly a great help.
Thank you for making me realize that I'm to fucking hard on myself. I'm human I want to have a donut and not feel fucking guilty.
I will never not be amazed by your ability to take a tequila shot without making a face. 😂
I love the video and I have already shared it with two of my friends. I keep telling them they need to follow you because you are helpful and provide simple but real information. Thanks for all you do! You are the reason I weigh daily with not emotion even when it goes down.
Hi everyone I have started following Jordan and weight training. I never thought this was possible. I am 56 and before I was 45 had both knees replaced a quad fusion in my spine- both feet and hands along with right shoulder twice. I have arthritis and can’t walk far without assistance. I started Nov 1,2021 and down 10
Lbs today. I have about 60 more to go. I have done every diet and this way I have learned has been substantial for me.
Don’t know why... but when Jordan curses (especially when he says “fxck”), it’s truly a treat 😂
Well, this Karen has been following your advice and has lost almost 30 pounds since July. 😂😜
#sortinghatsquad
Also, what you said about not rewarding weight loss makes sense. I started wondering why I'm not always excited about a loss and now I see it's because I've been following your advice haha. And there's nothing wrong with that.
Great video, thanks for the info.
Your videos are very helpful!! Thank you 🙌🏽🙌🏽
Jordan! Anyone can take a shot of Patron water without making a face!! Let's do another try with Jose Cuervo Gold!
Drank half a bottle of that stuff years ago when I was 17. Underage drinking ftw. I ended up throwing up all night long and for the next day. Hangover lasted 4 days and woke up on a playground next to my friends house. Let’s just say I’ve only just started to be able to drink tequila again, but will never touch that crap again.
This is by far the funnest and on point video I have ever seen. Thank you!!!!
Great advice thank you 🙏
#sortinghatsquad Keep the fabulousness coming, Jordan!
Just found you and I LOVE it! You're so real! 😆
I'll be subbing!
Always on point! 🙌🏼 #sortinghatsquad
Great Advice ! Great Video ! Thank you
Thank you for the great reminders!
#sortinghatsquad
Thank you so much for this Jordan. So informative and so helpful. A lot of your points spoke sense to me! I've saved it to refer back to frequently!
Everyone needs you in their corner. ♥️
Fabulous advice.
Love these tips! Restricting during the week and going crazy on the weekend has been my pattern lately. Working on just trying to stay overall consistent. Thanks for posting! #sortinghatsquad
Thank you . You make more sense each video I watch. Much appreciated 😊
After wandering off with all other channels, have come back to the one channel that makes the most sense. Uncomplicated, logical and to the point. Thank you for your will to help others❤️
#SortingHatSquad
Love no.2 started my weight loss journey back in may and you helped me realise that the number on the scales is literally just data. I now weigh myself every morning without any bad emotions coming up. I have even started to understand my body and predict my fluctuations!
Awesome video 👊
I always love how you talk about this in a very entertaining way! Can't believe your leaving New York! Can't wait to here about it! ♥️🙏
Love this!
I love your honesty!!! Your amazing keep it coming 💪💪💪🎉
#SortingHatSquad
Love this!! Appreciate you very much Jordan!
#Sortinghatsquad
Super awesome to actually see coaches who care about their clients and recognize they are people - not just clients.
I know I’m late commenting but you are so real and give us the content straight up. I really appreciate fitness coaches like you. You’re the best..
#SortingHatSquad
I’ve been a member of all 7 reasons! Thanks for your content!
I'm so glad I came across your channel. I have been struggling with my weight for way too long. Now I know what I've been doing wrong. Thank you being so straight forward and honest🙌🙌 New subscriber here
This is exactly what I needed to hear. Thank you for always keeping things real! #SortingHatSquad
