Welcome back to Iron Sights! Today we're switching it up - our producer fielded your questions from Instagram and YouTube so that we could answer them all live on the show. CeCe English, Stephen Brenna & Jeff Chenault joined me to answer:

Timestamps
00:00 Intro
01:23 Why do people put salt in their water? I’ve heard it’s good for hydration but what’s the actual benefit?
07:20 I’ve done 1 set of max pull ups and 1 set of max push ups per day for the past two months. I feel great and have been getting stronger. I’m not interested in learning a ton of exercises, I just want to do a few movements every day. If you had to pick 2 exercises to do everyday to get the best aesthetic results would they be push ups & pull ups? Just want confirmation I’m on the right path. Love the show! Appreciate it.
11:15 I drink a lot of caffeine. 2-3 cups of coffee in the morning and an energy drink in the afternoon. I’m not sure how many mg in total but it’s a daily habit at this point. What are the long term effects and what are some tips for kicking this caffeine addiction?
20:30 I was a beast in the gym when I was younger but it’s been about 10 years since I followed a legit program. Is it a bad idea to jump into RDF strong or is there anything you have that’s good for out of shape athletes who want to get it back?
26:56 What are the health benefits of Magnesium?
30:34 Been listening to the show for almost a year and love the Monday episodes. Question for Jeff & CeCe, what does your personal stretching and mobility routine look like? Do you work it in with your workouts or do you have specific days for mobility?
39:40 I follow a lot of fitness pages on Instagram and have been hearing a lot of the same stuff like: eat more protein, sugar is bad for you etc. Why does my feed look the same as it did last year?

If you'd like to ask a question and have it answered on the show let us know:

In this episode of After Dark, I headed to Georgia to meet with Fred Baker out of Counting Coup Tactical. A mystery man of sorts, joined me in discussing his perspective on a wide range of topics from mental health to personal growth, military experiences, family dynamics, collaboration, and the importance of effective communication and comprehensive training. We had ourselves a couple of beers and got right into our discussion.

On another episode of Iron Sights I sit down with CeCe and Jeff to talk about overtraining and counterbalance against the concept of under-recovery. I had the pleasure in meeting with different talented and highly driven individuals when traveling the past week and it had me thinking that it is important to evolve and find the right environment for you where you're constantly challenging yourself to be better. In this episode, we focus on being better at managing your health and fitness effectively. We break down the reason why most people aren't seeing results in the gym and how to overcome that.

Welcome back to Iron Sights After Dark! In this episode I meet with LEO & Coach, Chris Kuras. We discuss the shifts happening in the attitudes and culture of LEO training and accountability across the country, and how these shifts are being driven by officers who demand more from their profession. Chris shares his experiences of pushing the standard and demanding more from himself and his colleagues, which has earned him respect and provided him with a platform for contributing to solutions rather than complain about the problems. If you're an LEO or coach that wants to be an agent of change and help improve our industry, this episode is for you.

In today's podcast I sit down with CeCe and discuss orthopedics, nutrition, and fitness. Then we dive deep into the modern healthcare system and how it has changed the way many people approach pain and are looking to return to the gym or their sport. When a doctor tells a patient to stop lifting weights and working out, it can be frustrating, and it is okay to question it. It's also important to define the type of injury and the reason for seeing the doctor, as different types of injuries may require different approaches. People should not feel like they are stuck in the system and that stopping all activity is the only way to go. There are ways to navigate the process and stay healthy and fit, without necessarily having to put a complete stop to their active lifestyles. WHAT'S YOUR COMEBACK STORY?!
