In this episode, I sit down with the man who played Brian Shute in the movie Vision Quest. The 1985 movie "Vision Quest" still holds a special place in the hearts and minds of wrestlers and wrestling fans everywhere. The movie focuses on high school wrestler Louden Swain in his quest to defeat the undefeated defending state champ, Brian Shute. We talk about how his wrestling and bodybuilding background helped him get the role despite not having any acting experience. Sit back, relax, and enjoy!

In this episode, I sit down with USAPL Coaching Chairman Matt Gary. This is Matt's second appearance on the show. We started off this episode talking about the controversy surrounding 2018 USAPL Raw Nationals. Matt helped dispel some of the inaccurate rumors being floated around the internet. We also talked about the challenges of running a powerlifting/performance based gym. Matt and his wife, Sioux-z Hartwig-Gary, established Supreme Sports Performance & Training, Inc. (SSPT) in 2008. SSPT has since grown into Washington, DC and suburban Maryland’s premier strength training facility. Lastly, we dug into the concept of minimalism and how Matt has used it to live a more intentional and meaningful life. Sit back, relax, and enjoy!

In this episode, I answer questions mostly surrounding building muscle and getting jacked! Sit back, relax and enjoy!

Hire Kyle as your coach: http://www.kylehuntfitness.com/services/

Questions on the show:

Q1- Hi Kyle, I started lifting weights a couple years ago but honestly I just started making progress about 6 months ago when I bought your Absolute Strength Program. My question is, if I am following your Absolute Strength Program, what is the best way to go about my nutrition to make sure I continue gaining muscle and strength? For context, I am 6ft tall and weight 165lbs.

Q2 - I seem to get mixed opinions on this depending on who I ask, and imagine some other lifters might too: The idea of direct ab work.

So, ab work in general (probably especially the types where you're not purposely causing too much lumbar flexion, extension, and torsion) like planks, ab-wheel rollouts, roman chair leg lifts and such - are they really beneficial to a lifter from the perspective of helping you become a better lifter?  I mean, I get the structural benefits of having strong abs to support your lower back but can ab work actually help put lbs onto your total? 

Q3 – I understand hypertrophy is very important to getting stronger. Are there any benefits to spending a large portion of time in a powerlifting offseason focusing almost entirely on hypertrophy/bodybuilding training with maybe only one top set per week between 1-5 reps for Squat, Bench, and Deadlift?

Q4: What are the best foods to eat if you struggle to take in enough calories during a weight gaining cycle? Keep in mind, I’m a college kid with limited funds.

Q5: What are your favorite exercises for each muscle group with the purpose of building muscle?

Q6: What is the purpose behind all your #consistency posts on Instagram?

In this episode, I answer questions from listeners. 

1: Forrest – So I have two questions: how can I use DUP in my programs so that I don't plateau, and how much cardio should be implemented in a powerlifting program? 

[Link to DUP article]: http://www.kylehuntfitness.com/the-ultimate-guide-to-daily-undulating-periodization-dup/

2: Nick – 1. Is it good to keep the same lifts every week when building muscle, powerlifting or cutting? Or can you mix it up your program week to week of different lifts or isolation movements? 2. Who was your favorite guest so far on the podcast and why? 3. I see that everyone in the fitness industry has to have a brand these days and why is that? Do you see yourself ever having a brand or doing your own supplement line? And would you ever grow your company into something bigger? Hunt Fitness is kind of catchy! 4. How do you keep your confidence up when you are lifting so heavy and when get nervous with all that weight on your back when squatting or even benching? 5. Deadlifting with chronic lower back pain, is it a good idea? Mine never hurts when I’m deadlifting but have pulled muscles before with bad form. 

3: James - Hey Kyle my question revolves around injuries in powerlifting. How to prep to compete while recovering from an injury? Any specific ways or techniques you use to stay injury free? And any guidelines you have that aids in a faster recovery from minor injuries?

4: Tony - I know you listen to the JRE, can you comment on Pavels recommendation for low reps and keeping a lot of reps in the tank that Joe always talks about?

5: Marco – I have three questions. One, what are your favorite movies of all time? Two, who is your favorite athlete of all time? Three, what music do you listen to while training?

6: Tim - If you could only do 1 assistance move for each of the powerlifts, what would they be?

[Link to article]: http://www.kylehuntfitness.com/the-9-best-assistance-exercises-for-raw-powerlifting/

Questions:

Sean: If I’m training first thing in the morning and my goal is mass gain (hypertrophy) should I try to get in a good amount of carbs the night before? Or any nutrition recommendations?

Charlie: I train at 2am – 3am before going to work. I don’t eat until noon – 8pm. Should I get something in me after that early AM training? Or is it alright to wait until noon? I’ve been waiting and my body and stomach handle it well.

Brandon: What does a current day of eating look like for you?

Samuel: How come we don’t see more IFBB pros especially the men’s categories using a flexible dieting approach? You see more and more women doing it but not men?

Austin: You talk about flexible dieting and tracking macros a lot, is there ever a time to follow a structured meal plan?

Gil: How do you prepare top sirloin so it’s not so tough to chew? Last time I grilled it, mediumish doneness, it was not easy to chew.

Trey: How long did you train people in person before you segmented into the online business? Also, did you have a large social media presence when you initially started the online business? When you do your bodybuilding accessories do you worry about RPE, train to failure or just chase a pump in some cases?

Shawn: Hey Kyle, how often would you recommend someone train in the higher rep ranges for the main lifts (5+ reps)? The reason I ask is I feel I am big enough for my height (5'11) and simply just need to get stronger for my weight class which is the u105kg. Thanks, Kyle.

Adam: How do you balance between old-school methods and new age research?

Justin: If you were not in the fitness industry what would you be doing right now?

Dylan: What are your favorite books, podcasts, and exercise in the gym?

Will: When you go out to a bar, what do you drink?

Mitch: Powerlifting has grown in popularity so much in recent years, what do you think is the future is for the sport?

Luke: Do you waste time on anything unproductive?

Miles: What has been the biggest challenge being a dad?

Questions from the show: 

Seth: With IPF worlds being this week, what is the biggest consistency you see between the top lifters? Do you think the higher level you achieve in powerlifting the more you should train with game day equipment? Such as kilo plates, combo racks, and power bars? When are you planning to compete next and if soon how is the prep going? 

Christopher: What’s up Kyle? So me being in the military I tend to travel a lot. Currently in key west for the month. What are some go-to meals or tips for nutrition when living out of a hotel for a month? Also as a fellow Bills fan how do you feel about the upcoming season and the pick of Allen over Rosen? Love the podcast man keep it up and everything you do.

Mark: When peaking for a meet is pure linear periodization better than dup? I  know you really like dup and I do as well but I'm only referring to a peak when preparing for a meet. 

Bryan: My question, I’m curious to know what are your personal goals for powerlifting this year? Any lifting numbers you are looking to hit and which lift do you feel needs the most work?

Mark: Hi Kyle! Love your podcast! A few questions...Do you have a top 3 list of protein-packed foods that are your go-to snacks/meals when you are busy and don’t have time to meal prep? 

2.) I do weight training/total body workouts 3 times per week (45-minute sessions).  I use apps like Nike Training and Fitstar to assemble my training routines. Despite my level of effort to push and complete my sessions, it seems like I never see gains in muscle mass that I would expect. Thoughts on what could help or what I might be doing wrong? 

Molly: What do you recommend adding into your diet initially when beginning to reverse diet?!? ie, what macronutrient and then specific foods…should it be fruit, low gi- carbs like lentils etc.

James: Hey Kyle my question is regarding peaking for a powerlifting meet. How long should a peaking section in a program be? And after peaking how long should you have before you peak again?  I ask because I have 2 meets 9 weeks apart. 1 is central championships and the other is provincials. In order to qualify for Nationals, I need to do both meets.

Nick: 1. Thoughts on your good friend Nick Wright cutting down and starting a new chapter in his fitness career? 2. What makes a good pre-workout supplement? We all use them here and I saw that you switched brands for your pre-workout, why did you switch pre-workouts? 3. What are three fad diets going on right now that you wouldn’t recommend people trying and why? 4. What is one food that is a staple in your every day eating?  Like Jeff Nippard has kiwis. What would be the one thing Kyle Hunt is known for eating?

Tyler:  Did you watch FinalX this weekend? Dake and Taylor both compete Saturday. How about things you should know going into your first meet, such as things to bring/wear/expect?

In this episode, I sit down with Alex Viada. He has worked with over 300 athletes of all ages and levels, in sports ranging from bodybuilding to ultra-running to triathlon to cycling to powerlifting. He has also prepared close to 40 individuals for Ranger School, SFAS, BUD/s, and other selective military programs. His Hybrid Training method is simple — it consists of breaking down the demands and unique stressors of every type of training an athlete requires and programming to target specific demands. The result is a style of programming that has produced a significant number of powerlifting triathletes and 300+ pound runners. Sit back, relax and enjoy!
