  • Q&A #19: Body Composition 101

    Q&A Episode 19 is live - This week we had some meta questions and the guys took a deep dive.  

    The Gifted Youtube has been GOING OFF lately and we want to thank everyone who has been supporting. We're continuing to work on a schedule that gets you educational and entertaining content throughout the entire week. The fun has just begun! 

    • 3:05 - Question from @doc_chels: How do people stay active enough to eat whatever they want and not have it change their physique? Seems easier for men? 
    • 30:21 - Question from @dylan_j_walker: How do supplement companies trick so many people into thinking their products will work? 
    • 42:25 - Question from @steve_rebuxx: I don’t really question much. If GP says it, I trust it. Dangers behind this mentality?

    • Supplement Show and Tell - Episode 1: Sorting Riff from Raff

      The Q&A Boys took a bit of a different approach this week. It's a no holds barred, fists flying, itchy face supplement breakdown.  Bonus additional content is @gifted_kuza taking 8g of beta alanine to the dome at roughly 11 minutes in. Watch him slowly regress into a sack of itchy skin by the end of the episode. Enjoy!

      • IFBB Pro Chris Tuttle: Balancing Bodybuilding

        What if you took a step back? What if you took it a little less seriously? Would you regress or would you actually enjoy the process and make the best gains of your life?  

        We were beyond excited to have @ifbbprochristuttle on the podcast to talk about what balance really looks like in a competitive bodybuilding context. It’s not a cheat meal. It’s not burgers and fries. It’s not deload weeks. It’s bigger than all of that. It’s a holistic approach that keeps you in the sport for decades instead of a few years. It’s a way to leave the sport after 10-15 years and look back on it with nothing but fond memories instead of a sour taste in your mouth.  

        We appreciate the insight Chris and thanks again for sitting down to chat with Coach Dom and Coach Ryan.

        9:20 - Balancing Competing and Career

        19:33 - Dropping out of a contest prep and enabling culture

          • GNN Episode 2: Response to Shelby Starnes Drama

            Time for the guys to weigh in...  

            After a few weeks of seeing crazy protocol after crazy protocol, the dust has somewhat settled on what has been a dark few weeks for bodybuilding. Coach Dom, Paul, Jay, and Squatpop discuss anatomy and physiology of the kidneys/heart, the dosages that have been shared, who's to blame, what's killing bodybuilders, the health of the sport, and a path forward.  

            This is far from a light subject. Men and women are dying, leaving behind families and friends. Come watch and learn about why this is happening. Share with a friend, pass it along to your coach, and do your part to make sure this does not keep happening.  Topics discussed include:
