I have been obese all my life... and recently had bariatric surgery to give my body and mind a mental reset... since i have slowly started to pick up on activities now that I truly enjoy... particulary HIIT. This podcast is MONEY for those starting out or are experts at training.... my favorite part is the - "You make progress in drops...". The whole game is keep chipping away to where you want to be and go for the one more! Great content and thank you for sharing.
As far a building muscle I’ve found the problem for most is not progressive overload but poor diet intake. Eating according to goals is harder than exercising according to goals.
Poor diet and poor fitness. I have a good diet but I have cheat days every weekend of about 10-20k calories. People I know ask me how can I have such massive cheat days. I tell them I burn 3000-5000 calories per day. They ask me how is that possible with cardio. I tell them if you’re not fit you won’t burn much don’t cardio without killing yourself, but if you become fit, you burn more calories without killing yourself as much. So for example, I cycle and have an FTP of 350. I can sustain 250 watts for hours easy. That’s about 900 cal per hour. I usually do 3-5 hours of riding per day. So just to maintain my weight I need 2700-4500 additional calories on top of my maintenance calories of about 3000. The problem is people consistently eat poorly and then they are unfit so they try to use exercise to make up for it when they won’t burn enough calories to begin to make up for it. If most people became fit they would burn more calories and be able to not eat like a pig every day, but if they maintain a healthy diet 80-90% of the time, they could eat cheat foods 10-20% of the time and be just fine and have the best of both worlds, once they hit a body weight they’re happy with. And I like this method better because if you eat junk every day, it’s not enjoyable. Whereas if you eat healthy most of the time, you then look forward to your cheat days with more enjoyment and actually enjoy the foods more and they taste better.
I just started following you recently. Your content, explanations of information, analogies, and inspiration are amazing! I love how you explain things very thoroughly, but with simplicity. I am greatful to you for providing your expertise, advise, and wisdom. A huge fan of yours! I am going to look into ordering your supplemnts too. I listen also to Sally and Eddie McRae's podcast, " Choose Strong". She is a big fan of you and your supplements and constantly references them in her podcasts. Thank you again for being so knowledgeable and giving of yourself to all of us!
I’ve done well with a diet and exercise approaching my 50th soon. I’ve been able to maintain my high school weight all these years. We have a sweet trip planned as we’re celebrating our 25th with our 5 children. Fingers crossed I can maintain my current mindset and not destroy what I’ve worked on. Vacations can be tricky on the body and mind.
I don't go to the gym to work out..(right now, 7 months into this new life style) I go to practice. Thank you for sevice.., Navy vet here . Runner for life..running for my sanity 😅😅
Was really looking forward to this podcast. Was really hoping to get a better idea on how to lean out while still maintaining muscle. Training techniques, when I should be in a surplus or deficit depending on training days. How to run more but not lose muscle mass. I just got the definition of anabolic, catabolic, calorie deficit and calorie surplus. All very beginner stuff. I really admire your physic, stamina, strength and dedication as a hybrid athlete, business man and most importantly father / husband. I really don't get a lot of good information from the content you put out.
Nick, with regards to muscle building, I think the volume you describe has to depend on your goals at the present time. It’s physically impossible, apart from superhuman recovery due to peds, to be building muscle, losing fat in a calorie deficit, and building aerobic fitness running 6 times a week at the same time. I had to cut my weights back to one day a week full body heavy just to retain the muscle I have and in order to focus on training for running 6 times a week. It’s all my body can handle without dipping into overtraining. If pure muscle building is the goal, not getting better at running then obviously a higher training volume, along with food intake will be necessary (along with decreased running- maybe 2 to 3 times a week max)
@@nicholassorg1134you would have 0 time to actually raise your child. I work 50 hours a week and have to figure out whether to run or lift. Unless you’re in the gym for less than an hour each day you would have no family time…
The grind is just rolling the rock in to place, then you sculpt once that rock is on a solid foundation. If you’re only grinding, you’re just rolling rocks around
I have been listening to body builders all them talk about calories. Track macros. Prioritise protein, fibre, minimise fat. Move and improve form. Coach Greg, Mike Israetel
scientific research points to anywhere between 5-30 reps per set, at least 3 RIR, and around 5-10 sets per muscle group per session. The way you perform your reps matter as well, aim for a controlled eccentric, slight pause, and a concentric on the faster side as well.
When he says he prefers strength training for losing weight, is he implying lower rep ranges to get stronger at certain lifts? Or just muscle building in general?
9:48 competitive eaters also do that after 15000 calories challenges. I think specifically about Erick the Electric. But these competitive eaters are lean I wonder how they do it.

Golden episode, so many take aways! We all have our journey, it’s me vs me 3 months ago 🔥 first I could run only like 200 metres, now 1,5km. Nothing for someone else but huge for me 🤩
Couldn’t agree more of the short challenges and changing too many things too heavily too fast! I’ve experienced this so many times but finally last year I decided to take it much slower, changing my habits one step a time and me one year back is total stranger today 💪🏽
Thank you for the video, you confirmed so many things I’ve been experiencing and discovering myself in past six months ❤️🔥 I’m definitely going share this video all around!
One more side note.. What worked for me, what gave me motivation start and go on everyday was to figure out the core reasons WHY I wanted to make this change. I’m not that disciplined guy, so figuring out my WHY was a gamechanger. Hope this helps someone else also 👊🏽
I don’t think he’s on anything. Maybe trt. If you watch his early videos, it seems clear he was on gear and that kind of kick started his TH-cam following and supplements brand. Then I think he went off and probably tanked his T levels with training,running, getting healthy. Now I bet he’s just on trt. Could be wrong though.
Lmao your dead wrong. He’s juiced to the gills. Hilarious people believe this bs this guy puts out still. I guess maybe people want him to be natty so they can think they will someday look like him to lol.
Not on anything you can tell by looking at him. Who takes peds to run marathons etc? He not even that big or strong is very shredded at times because he runs so much. Yea must be peds tho not the training or the miles he runs or the food he eats must be peds he shoots up n eats pizza all day n lays in bed gets up n bam looks good lmao
You are not re-reading that book, you are re- listening it. Call it as it is. I've said this before. You always call audiobook listening as reading. There is a big difference. Otherwise..your podcast and media content is nice.

I’m 43 and run 35-40 miles a week (5,6 runs a week) lift 5 times a week, work 45-50 hrs a week plus raise a child. It can be done but not essy
@@nicholassorg1134you would have 0 time to actually raise your child. I work 50 hours a week and have to figure out whether to run or lift. Unless you’re in the gym for less than an hour each day you would have no family time…
This man did not just cheat on his diet, he made an entire love child out of it.
