In this episode, fitness professional Mounir Azegra (iWannaBurnFat) joins the show. 

For the past few years, Mounir has been able to help thousands of people achieve their fitness goals through iWannaBurnFat.com and his Instagram account @iWannaBurnFat. His easy to understand evidence-based social media posts about training and nutrition have helped thousands of people.

Fitness has always been his passion, but there was a time when it drove him crazy.

Mounir trained 5x a week doing drop-sets, supersets, giant sets, and much more “advanced training tools”, with little to show for it. The longer he trained, the more evident it became that the sources for fitness information from "fitness social media influencers" weren’t very useful.

As he got more conscious of the fact that 90% of the fitness information on the web is false, he started doing his own research.

The past several years, he spent most of his time reading and writing about science-based training and nutrition. He also got his personal training certification from the “International Sports Sciences Association.”

The more he learned, the more he realized how much nonsense there actually is online.

“Fad” training and diet approaches are promoted, mostly to sell useless products to us.

Once he learned more about the basic training and nutrition principles, through exercise & nutritional sciences, he finally started making good progress.

In this episode, former Oregon State Baseball standout Logan Ice discusses the power of  understanding your mind/body connection and how this mechanism can be manipulated to have ZERO limitations.

Logan Ice is a former professional baseball player, drafted by the Cleveland Indians in the 2nd round and is currently a trainer and advocate of the "GOATA Movement".

GOATA Movement is the science of observing slow motion video technology to observe identical movement patterns in Super Athletes, and pain free movers. 

"Well at the brain and the body, this, this whole mechanism. What we got going on is one of the most prized possessions that anyone could ever have, like what the brain and the mind and the body can do for you. If you allow it to work for you, you can teach this thing and trick it to do whatever you want. Like, I know it's cliche, Goggins and all that stuff, but like, it's real, like it's real. Is it going to hurt? Is there going to be pain? Is it going to be difficult? Absolutely. It ain't going to be easy, but you can definitely make this thing do what you want it to do. You can make it believe what you want it to believe. You can make this do what you want it to do." - Logan Ice
