064: On The Cruise, Having Your Shirt Off is Normal

Connor sets sail on a cruise to the Bahamas with a bunch of other fitness influencers, and Brandon helps him get super shredded and lean fast. Bella joins the show to brainstorm video ideas for Connor while he is on the cruise, then the guys talk about what extra boosts help and which puts your body into overdrive.   Key Takeaways: [1:31] Connor is psyched to go on a cruise to the Bahamas, where he will be joined with a bunch of other fitness stars and influencers. Brandon isn’t able to go because someone needs to actually work on business and make some money. [3:44] Connor remembers his past cruises fondly. The first time he ever ‘grinded’ with a girl was on a cruise, so who knows what will happen this time. [4:32] Since there will be a bunch of other jacked fitness celebrities on the boat, Connor needs to get lean super fast. His strategy is to start eating 2,000 calories a day, which will put him in over 1000 calorie deficit. He will skip carb days until after the cruise, but don’t worry as the photos of his carb day meals won’t go away forever. [16:58] Brandon gives his protocol to Connor in order to get lean and shredded super fast: 10,000 steps of cardio daily, either cryo or an ice bath twice a day, and eating a super lean protein modified fast. He also recommends for a situation like this to take ephedra and exogenous ketones, which will quickly burn muscle mass, up oxidation, and curb Connor’s appetite. [23:54] Jillian Michaels went in on keto, which seems like a marketing move to us. If we had to guess, it seems like there is an anti-keto book coming. [28:34] Once Brandon learned to dial in his diet, he saw it was way easier to get and stay lean. [33:03] To use an analogy of our body being like a car, adaptogens help us take our foot off the brake, while Adderall puts our foot on the gas. Adderall has some pretty gnarly side effects, tolerance builds to it fast, and it has a really intense withdrawal.   Mentioned in This Episode: Connor Murphy Talks YouTube page: @ConnorMurphyTalks Brandon’s YouTube page: @HighLifeWorkOut @KingKeto — Brandon Carter on Instagram @ConnorMurphyOfficial Adonyx Coaching Adonyx Clothing @bellarahbek Terminator 2 Week
