PermaFit Live Podcast

Have you ever wondered what it takes to have continuous success in health and fitness?

You might think it's simple and straight forward: just workout and eat better.

After all, it's that easy, right?

Unfortunately, like most things, it's not that easy. If it were, everyone would be doing it.

So what does it really take to be successful, especially over the LONG TERM?

It takes 3 things, which we discuss in today's episode.

Without these 3 things, it's possible to get SOME success, but I assure you that without these 3 things, you will NEVER have continuous, consistent, long-term success.

I've spent over 10 years obsessed with body transformation.

At first I thought a body transformation was one that included a massive amount of fat loss and a restructuring of someones body composition (muscle, fat, definition, etc).

Then I ultimately learned what real transformation was, and how 99% of what is behind a fitness/health/body transformation takes place INSIDE a person.

In this episode, I go over what I consider to be the main 4 Phases of Transformation. These are what people experience during the process, and what sort of results they typically see when going through these phases.

Do you experience self doubt?

Do you ever make so much progress towards something, and the further along you get, the harder it seems to get closer to the goal?

Do you end up thinking WAY too much about what you're trying to achieve rather than actually take actions towards achieving it?

Self doubt plagues us all, and it's what keeps most people from taking any action at all. When, in reality, if they had just put their head down and ignored the bullshit doubt in the back of their mind, and pushed forward to take small steps daily towards their goal, they would eventually get there.

Losing 40 lbs doesn't happen overnight BUT you can't lose 40 lbs if you don't lose 1 lb first.

You want to be lean and look great on the beach, or at the pool, or with your partner...well if you're 35% body fat now, you can't get to that goal without first getting to 34% body fat, and then 33%, and then 32%.

The more you are able to ignore the magnitude of your goal, and the self-doubt behind achieving it, the more you will achieve and the more likely you'll actually get everything you wanted for your health, body and mind.

Do you find yourself eating clean, whole and healthy foods but not getting anywhere with your fat loss and creating the body you want?

This is extremely common, and one of the biggest pitfalls that people fall into. Ultimately, this tends to lead to things like:

"This won't work for me"

"I'll never be able to lose weight"

"It's so hard, I don't get how fit people do it"

The thing that I've found over the 11 years that I've been doing this is that there are typically 3 or 4 minor tweaks that people need to make in order to apply nutrition the right way in order to finally lose that weight, fit into the clothes they want to fit into, and love their body for the first time (maybe ever).

In this episode I dive into this exact topic, and breaking through some of the mental barriers and methods of approach that are holding people (maybe YOU) back from making progress.

Are you actually putting in the work, dedicating yourself, making the sacrifices and doing what it takes to be successful and achieve your goals?

Or are you just playing?

Are you dabbling with all of the stuff that is "on the edge" of a fitness lifestyle, or actually deep into the space, doing the real work?

In this episode, I explore both of these things and what is really needed to get results.

Have you always wanted a 6-pack but have had NO luck cracking the code to getting one?

The truth is, understanding the nutrition and muscle development semantics needed to build a 6-pack are simple, yet confusing.

In general, there are 2 core components to building a 6-pack, and most people mess up one of these. But you NEED both, or it will never happen:

1) Low Body Fat Percentage

2) Abdominal Muscle Mass

In this episode, I explore both of these things and what is really needed to achieve getting that cut, defined mid-section.

Do you ever find yourself overwhelmed about how far you are from reaching your fitness goals?

Everyone (myself included) tend to experience "freak out" periods where, despite how much progress we've made, we become anxious and impatient about how much there is left to go in order to reach our goal.

I've found that what a lot of people don't do enough, which contributes to them NOT breaking out of this mental block, is that they don't focus on these things when making decisions throughout their day:

1. The intention of the decision they are making
2. The desired outcome they want from making that decision

This goes for nutrition, training, supplementation, effort, focus, and many other pieces of the puzzle that makeup your fitness, weight loss, or muscle building regimen.

Do you lift weights a LOT and have found yourself getting stronger and stronger over the years but you still don't have the physique you want?

Do you find that even though you push hard in the gym, hitting new PR's or 1-Rep-Max's, or just generally lifting as heavy as possible, you still can't get lean or cut or have any real muscle definition?

This is a common misconception, and it creates a lot of confusion and annoyance.

The solution? It's actually quite simple, but like most things, not easy to address.

In this episode, I discuss the difference between strength for minimum frequency (1 rep max, personal record, etc), and strength for maximum frequency (or high volume). I also dive into what it really takes to build the physique that you want.
