February 12, 2024Ep. 188 Overrated/Underrated Edition of The Coaches Roundtable
Summary
In this episode, Brevin is BACK and they discuss various topics related to health and fitness. They cover the effectiveness of carb cycling, the necessity of supplements, the importance of fiber, the benefits of deadlifts, the value of yoga and pilates, the use of artificial sweeteners, the benefits of walking, the role of protein powder, and the effectiveness of pre- and post-workout supplements.
In this episode, the hosts discuss various health and fitness topics. They start by talking about overrated supplements and how people often waste money on unnecessary products. Then, they move on to discuss energy drinks and coffee, with differing opinions on their value. Finally, they emphasize the importance of having a supportive community in achieving health and fitness goals.
Takeaways
Carb cycling can be effective for some individuals, but it depends on personal preferences and goals.

Supplements should be used as a complement to a healthy diet and lifestyle, not as a replacement.

Fiber is an important nutrient that is often overlooked and should be prioritized in one's diet.

Deadlifts are a highly effective exercise that engages multiple muscle groups and should be included in strength training routines.

Yoga and pilates can be beneficial for beginners or those looking for low-impact exercise options, but they may not be as effective for building muscle or losing fat.

Artificial sweeteners are a personal choice and can be used in moderation, but they should not be relied upon as a substitute for a balanced diet.

Walking is an underrated form of exercise that can provide numerous health benefits and should be incorporated into daily routines.

Protein powder can be a convenient way to supplement protein intake, but it should not replace whole food sources of protein.

Pre-workout supplements are not necessary for a good workout and can be expensive, while post-workout supplements may not provide significant benefits compared to a balanced meal. Focus on the basics when it comes to supplements and avoid wasting money on unnecessary products.

Energy drinks and coffee can be enjoyed in moderation, but it's important to be mindful of their calorie content and potential negative effects.

Having a supportive community can greatly enhance motivation and success in reaching health and fitness goals.

They also explain the process of weight cuts for athletes and the strategies used to maximize results in a deficit while maintaining muscle mass. Additionally, they discuss the role of compliance and the benefits of incorporating diet breaks to improve adherence and protect the relationship with food.

When starting a deficit, it is recommended to make a conservative initial drop in calories and focus on strength training and adequate protein intake to preserve muscle mass.

Diet breaks can be beneficial to improve compliance and protect the relationship with food during a deficit.

February 05, 2024Ep. 186 Q&A - Home Exercises, Heart Rate, Manitou Incline Training, Best Resources for Lifting, HIIT, and Weight Fluctuations - Coaches Roundtable
Summary
In this episode of the Coaches Roundtable, Chase and Chris answer various fitness-related questions. They discuss the impact of water weight on weight fluctuations and emphasize the importance of tracking fluctuations to understand how the body responds to certain factors. The coaches also provide insights on exercises that can be done at home with or without equipment, and offer tips for building stamina for challenging activities like the Manitou Spring Incline in Colorado. They address the concept of heart rate during workouts and explain that it is more important to focus on movement and overall trends rather than specific heart rate numbers. Additionally, they recommend websites and resources for proper lifting techniques and alternative exercises. The episode concludes with a call for more listener questions.
Takeaways
Water weight can significantly affect weight fluctuations, but it is not an excuse for weight changes. Tracking fluctuations can help understand how the body responds to certain factors.

Exercises can be done at home with or without equipment. Bodyweight exercises can be effective, but adding resistance or getting creative with household items can enhance progress.

Building stamina for challenging activities requires gradually increasing intensity and getting accustomed to the environment, such as higher elevations.

Heart rate during workouts depends on individual goals, but it is more important to focus on movement and overall trends rather than specific heart rate numbers.

Websites like Mind Pump and Jordan Lips' database offer resources for proper lifting techniques. It is important to understand the purpose of each exercise and find alternatives that target the same muscle groups.

HIIT training can be done with running or walking, and the intensity should be adjusted based on individual capabilities and goals.

When the gym is crowded or certain exercises cannot be performed, alternative exercises can be found by replicating the motion with different equipment.

Listeners are encouraged to submit more questions for future episodes of the Coaches Roundtable.

Meet Cam:
Cam Brown is the founder and CEO of Integrity Nutrition. She is currently living in Charleston, SC with her husband Cory and her daughter Rowan. Cam has been working in the nutrition and fitness space her entire life. As a collegiate athlete, she played lacrosse and studied Nutritional Science at the University of Florida. After graduating, she began working as a personal trainer and was the head coach of multiple group fitness gyms. This is where Cam began to realize the huge disconnect between fitness and nutrition- and how women were chronically fed the “move more, eat less” mindset which just ultimately led to a ton of discouragement and not a lot of fat loss. This is when Integrity Nutrition was formed and it has served hundreds of women in 23 different states and two different countries. Cam and her team are passionate about helping busy women and moms finally see the results that they have been working for while fueling their bodies and eating the damn food!
