In this episode, I talk about fitness being more than what we do in the gym and answer listener questions. 

Questions on the show:

  1. I have heard you talk about double progression in the past. Can you explain how it works again?
  2. Hey Kyle, I have a question for you. Is it better to take a multivitamin or just take individual vitamins/minerals you might be low in? 
  3. I know regular stretching has fallen out of favor in recent years, but should we be stretching? 
  4. This is a two-part question. One, is it normal during a fat loss phase to lose strength with certain muscle groups but gain strength in other muscle groups/areas? Two, how do you deal with a client that wants to lose weight but is brainwashed to think they need to eat a 1200-calorie diet or less to lose weight and don’t believe you when you say you need to eat more?
  5. If you had to start over from scratch, and start Hunt Fitness today, how would you do it?

In this episode, I answer questions from the newsletter. 

 

Questions on the show:

Q1: How do you find the appropriate weekly volume for a muscle group? I know there is a certain usual range, somewhere between 10 and 20 sets per week, but how do you find this? Do you just start with 10 and work your way up until you see the most change? How many weeks should I try a certain volume to see if it works or not?

Q2: What is the best way to combine running with lifting weights? 

Q3: Why do calories and macros not always line up on labels and in food trackers?

Q4: Hey Kyle, what is your take on Boron supplementation for free testosterone increase and hypertrophy? I've been taking 12mg every night.

Q5: What are some signs of a bad training program?

In this episode, I answer questions from my newsletter. 

Questions on the show:

Q#1:  I have been lifting consistently for five years. I listen to your podcast and others for advice on nutrition and weight lifting. However, all the information is for the young lifter. I am 50 years old. I would like to hear advice on how to make progress as an older lifter. Older lifters have some limitations that younger lifters don’t. Thanks.

Q#2: Do you think diet culture history could have been different if we didn't use the word "fat" for both dietary and body fat?

Q#3: How should we approach vacations with our fitness goals? Should we continue to be aware of our macros/find ways to train? Or should we give ourselves a diet and training break on these occasions? 

Q#4: Have you ever considered starting your own supplement company?

Q#5: You have probably answered this in the past, but should you have lower calories on rest days? Could not doing this potentially stall progress?

In this episode, Derek and I answer questions from listeners. 

Questions on the show: 

  1. Hey Kyle, I love the podcasts with Derek. Can you ask him how he got started with bodybuilding and powerlifting?
  2. What are your thoughts on tempo training? Is it an effective way to train or a waste of time?
  3. When is the best time to do cardio? I know there is some debate on this topic, and I am curious what your opinion is?
  4. When you watch a lot of pro bodybuilders train, they often use partial ranges of motion. Why is that? 
  5. How do you handle excuses from clients as a coach? I'm a new personal trainer and trying to balance being tough but understanding.

Questions on the show:

1: I have always been told you should not eat at night, is there any truth to this?

3: What are your thoughts on TRT? It seems like most of the fitness industry is on it. I'm in my mid-30s and thinking about getting blood work done to see if I qualify. 

4: I loved the recent episode on peri-workout nutrition. I may have missed it, but did you mention what percentage of calories should be allocated around workouts?

5: My wife and I just moved to a different state. I like my new gym, but I hate training by myself. How do I find new training partners?

The idea that you can maximize progress by altering what you eat before, during, and after a workout is nothing new. This concept is called peri-workout nutrition, and it has been around for a long time.

Although peri-workout nutrition may not be as important as once thought, it can make a difference. Besides, often there is no downside to implementing these strategies.

Since you have nothing to lose and potentially some to gain, it’s worth it to give peri-workout nutrition some thought.

In this episode, Derek and I answer questions submitted by listeners of the show. 

Q#1: Hey Kyle, I heard that creatine causes hair loss and baldness, is there any truth to this?

Q#2: I travel a ton for work and it makes it hard to follow any type of diet. Do you have any advice for things I can eat on the go, or what to order when frequently eating at restaurants?

Q3: I have a strange question. I think I have a strength imbalance between my right and left leg. Would there be any downside to doing only unilateral movements for the lower body? I am thinking about doing a program with only lunges, step-ups, split squats, etc. What are your thoughts?

Q4: To make a long story short, I was off and on dieting for the past year. After losing about ten pounds initially, my weight hit a plateau and no matter what I did, it wouldn’t budge. Eventually, I got tired of dieting and increased my calories by 300. I expected my weight to shoot up, but it barely moved. I guess my question is, why haven’t I gained weight?

Q5: If you could go back in time and give your younger self one piece of training advice what would it be?

Almost every food has been villainized by the media. Of course, we have the typical culprits such as processed food, saturated fat, and sugar getting the brunt of the attention. But, depending on where you look, you can find things like grains, red meat, and dairy receiving similar treatment. Furthermore, there are even some circles that recommend avoiding fruits and vegetables.

You may be thinking, if all of these foods are bad, what am I supposed to eat? You see, right there is the problem. Foods shouldn’t be classified as good or bad. Food is food. Everything we eat is simply broken down into calories, protein, carbohydrates, fat, fiber, vitamins, and minerals. Of course, some foods should make up more of our diet than others, but any food can be part of a quality nutrition protocol.

Understanding flexible dieting is really the difference between principles and methods. A flexible diet is not really a diet. In fact, any diet can be flexible; because macronutrient-based nutrition is rooted in principles, not methods.

The fitness industry is built from arguably, one of the most persuasive advertising tools in existence – the transformation picture. These “before and after’s” are used to sell everything from workout equipment, coaching, books, and supplements. But, at the personal level, these transformations sell hope.

Few things in fitness are as exciting as the prospect of losing body fat. In the beginning, simply the anticipation of seeing your abs for the first time is enough to get the wheels turning. The good news is, as long as you resistance train a few times per week, maintain a calorie deficit, and adhere to the plan, fat loss initially comes pretty easy. At this point, the process is enjoyable. However, the sunshine and rainbows won’t last forever.

The only way the body calls on stored body fat is to create an imbalance between energy intake and expenditure. The trouble is the body adapts to caloric restriction and weight loss with a range of metabolic, behavioral, and hormonal responses. As a result of these adaptations, progress slows down. On top of that, energy in the gym takes a hit, workouts get laborious, and the desire to eat goes up as hunger and cravings increase. Anyone who has dieted before knows what I am talking about. This is where most people give in. It starts with one bite and ends with you surrounded by empty pints of Ben and Jerry’s. I’m exaggerating, but you get the idea.

As we know, a caloric deficit is needed to lose fat – calories in vs. calories out. On the other hand, being in a negative calorie balance unleashes adaptations that make further fat loss more difficult. Caloric restriction is a necessary evil when it comes to fat loss. So, what do we do?

Fortunately for us, the story doesn’t have to end there. Instead, we can hack the system by implementing a strategy of occasional overfeeding. This strategy is called refeeding. It’s not magic, and I don’t want to oversell you like an unrealistic transformation picture, but refeeds have been used successfully in the bodybuilding world for years.

Two plates. It’s a milestone for every young lifter. We all remember that feeling of pushing up 225lbs for the first time. Some of us probably even remember the gym where it happened.

It’s safe to say a 225lbs bench press is a big deal. However, as we advance in our lifting career, the expectations rise. Eventually, it becomes unacceptable to just hit 225lbs for a rep or two. The next goal is to rep it with ease.

The NFL made the 225lb bench press test for max reps famous. Every year the NFL hosts a scouting combine in Indianapolis where college players go and participate in a wide range of physical events. The combine gives teams a chance to see the college prospects display their athletic abilities in a controlled environment. In addition to the bench press, the other events are the 40-yard dash, vertical jump, broad jump, and various shuttle runs.

But, what makes the 225lbs bench test unique, is it gives the average gym member the rare chance to compare themselves to the best athletes in the world. It allows us average folk to see how we stack up against the freaks we watch play on Sundays.

In fitness, time on task should be worth a lot. However, sometimes experienced people still struggle with their fitness goals.

Why is that?

We all follow basically the same pattern with any new skill we learn. We start off wanting to get better at something, gather information from a book, website, podcast, or coach, practice until we reach an acceptable level, and then let it become automatic. For much of what we do, this is perfectly acceptable. For example, once you become a competent driver, that is sufficient. You don’t need to be world-class to get from point A to point B without running into things.

The real question is, how do we go beyond an acceptable level of competence? Unfortunately, once you reach a satisfactory skill level at something, it becomes harder and harder to continue improving. Many people come to this realization with their training after a few years. The longer you lift weights, the more work you need to do to ultimately get fewer results. At this point, the margin for error is small to continue making gains. Simply spending more time is unlikely to get it done if mistakes are still being made.

To see progress in years five, ten, or fifteen, you need to dot your I’s and cross your T’s. Over the years, I have observed a few common mistakes advanced lifters make. If you have put in the time but are still frustrated with your results, fixing these errors is a great place to start.

In this episode, I go over how to calculate calories and macros for building muscle and losing fat. The “secret” to any diet in terms of body composition comes down to calories and macronutrients. Every diet is a macro diet, whether you track them or not. In my opinion, regardless of what diet you choose to hitch your wagon to, it makes sense to learn how to calculate calorie and macronutrient targets. Understanding the basics of energy balance, portion sizes, and food tracking is the best practical nutrition education you can get. This knowledge is the key to demystifying nutrition and setting you up for long-term success.

In this episode, I talk about how to use percentages, RPE, and RIR in your training. Both percentage-based training and an autoregulated approach using the RPE scale and RIR have their place. The key is understanding how they fit together to help you get the most out of your training. Knowing which string to pull at the right time is one of the primary aspects of programming. Either way, both methods provide an effective system to determine the correct load to put on the bar. Sit back, relax, and enjoy!

In this episode, Derek and I talk about a bunch of random things and answer questions from listeners at the end. 

Questions on the show:

1. I have heard when you are cutting, it's a bad idea to have carbs and fats in the same meal. Is there any truth to this? [should the post-workout meal be low fat?] 

2. When you get closer to your genetic potential is there anything you have to change or do differently to continue seeing progress?

3. I know you say not to worry about day-to-day weight fluctuations, but how do you mentally handle seeing the scale go up throughout the week when you know you are in a deficit?

4. Are there any old-school bodybuilding techniques you think people forgot about that are effective?

5. How often should you change the exercises in your program, and can you give me some triceps exercise examples, all I do is triceps pressdowns?

Let’s face it, training to build muscle can get boring. The most effective training programs involve the same basic exercises repeated consistently, and progressively over time.

With that being said, variety is the spice of life. How many cable crossovers and dumbbell curls can you do before getting tired of it and joining a CrossFit gym? Sometimes just adding in a new exercise can give you an added jolt of enjoyment to push harder during your workouts. And, enjoying your workouts is more important than we often give it credit for.

Keep in mind, this is not going to be a list of unique movements you see influencers doing on Instagram. I’m not going to have you sit on a machine backward, sideways, or upside down. This isn’t about reinventing the wheel. In fact, many of the exercises on this list I’m sure you have done before. My goal is to provide you with a nudge to include a few less common exercises into your program. Don’t feel like you need to include all of them right away. Pick out a couple of movements you like, try them out, and see how they feel. If all goes well, in a month or two, come back to the list and try out a couple of more.

Questions on the show:

Q1: Since I started lifting, I have been a home gym guy. However, I recently moved across the country and sold all of my equipment. My question is, what should I look for when picking out the right gym?

Q2: When it comes to arm training, do you still recommend the general 10-20 sets per week for biceps and triceps, or do you account for indirect volume from presses, rows, pulldowns, etc.

Q3: What do you say to clients after a bad week of training and/or dieting?  

Q4: I know there aren’t any special foods or anything like that, but do you have any general recommendations for what to eat and how to workout when trying to lose fat?

Q5:  Hey Kyle, I don’t think you have mentioned this before, but I’m curious about your thoughts on 75 Hard? I am thinking about trying it but I want your opinion.
