- 5 Ways To Break Through A Fitness Plateau | Minisode #51
When you're making progress in the gym, it feels great. Your motivation is high, confidence is through the roof, and you're gonna reach your goals in no time! Until, progress starts to slow.
Your weight stays the same a few days in a row, despite being *perfect* with your diet and exercise, and you start to sweat. You start to question everything you're doing. You lose confidence and you might even have a cheat meal to make yourself feel better, which works in the short-term, but only brings more self-loathing shortly thereafter when the guilt creeps in.
It's time you accept it — you've hit a plateau. And you don't know what the hell to do next. Well, this Minisode has five different answers for you to explore on how to dig yourself out. Best of luck, and hope it helps!

16 min - Building A Workout For Maximum Muscle Growth | Minisode #50
It can be helpful to follow a plan made by someone else if they know what they're doing. But how do YOU know they know what they're doing? What if there's a better way, but you can't identify it?
Well, in this Minisode, I break down which type of exercises are best for muscle and how to sequence them in your workout. I cover the principle of specificity, so you can align your workout with your specific goals. I cover exercise order, so you can know how to efficiently and effectively structure your exercises. I cover how to bring up your weak or "lagging" body parts. And I also cover the difference between "pre-exhaust" and "activation sets" and why pre-exhaust could be hurting your gains, not helping. Plus, more. Hope you enjoy!

17 min - Austin Current — Learning From Evolution, Living A Happy Life, & Why You Need Less (Part 2) | MTFP Ep.71
Austin is back on the podcast this week and, as usual, we covered a lot of thoughtful talking points—the incentives of being a good person, what it means to be "mindless" and focus only on experience, why some people are happy with almost nothing and some are miserable with everything, understanding the "curse" of evolutionary wiring and it's effects on our happiness, using your "toolbox" of emotions to your advantage, police brutality and protests around the US, how to be a better listener, finding your why, home improvement skills, and much more.
Basically, we figured out life and you're going to love this episode.
This is Part 2 of our chat. If you'd like to go back and listen to Part 1, you can do so by clicking here.
Enjoy!

1 hr 10 min - How To Gain Muscle | Minisode #49
In Minisode #48, I explained to you guys how to lose fat. In this Minisode, I'm going to cover how to gain muscle. In both of these, I don't give any long explanations or justifications for what I'm telling you. I'm compressing all of my experience and knowledge—as a Registered Dietitian, a personal trainer, and someone who has personally coached hundreds of people to get in better shape—into actionable advice without the fluff.
When someone says "Just tell me what to do," this Minisode is my answer.

18 min - How To Lose Fat | Minisode #48
"Just tell me what to do."
That's what most people ask of me when looking for solutions to their fitness problems. They don't want to know the science or some long explanation about what I believe, they simply want to know the action steps to take to reach their goals. So, in this Minisode, that's exactly what I provide.
I've written an article on this (linked below), but I wanted to make a podcast version of it as it's always a good reminder of the bare-bones advice on how to lose body fat, without the fluff. Hope you enjoy!

1 hr 11 min - Eating Better: Where To Start? | Minisode #47
With so much information on nutrition at your fingertips, it's no mystery as to why people are still confused. I think the more common sense you use and the smaller goals you set (and eventually overcome), the better off you'll be.
I wanted to provide a bit of clarity for those of you out there who know what they should be doing, they just aren't doing it because of a lack of plan, experience, etc. I got you covered, and it all comes down to one simple question I answer in this Minisode. Check it out and I hope it helps!

12 min - What Does A "Good Enough" Workout Look Like? | Minisode #46
Under ideal circumstances, we would love to follow a periodized workout plan that was intelligently and methodically put together to maximize our gainz. The problem, however, is that "real life" gets in the way of "ideal circumstances" more often than not. This results in more workouts skipped and decreased motivation to get in the gym again—if we can't be perfect, why bother?
I've had this thought process too many times, but it's short-sighted and leads to even more frustration. Instead, we should aim for "good enough" workouts when life isn't under "ideal circumstances." In this Minisode, I cover exactly what that looks like and why it's best to maximize gainz when life gets busy. Hope you enjoy!

12 min - Michael Mehlberg — Destroy Distraction, Become Powerfully Productive, & Finish Work Before Dinner | MTFP Ep.69
I met Mike awhile back at a workshop in New York City put on by our mutual friend, John Romaniello. We hit it off after a couple of drinks at the bar, followed each other on social media (as people do), and we've stayed in touch since. Just recently, Mike reached out again to promote his new book on productivity: Home Early: Destroy Distraction, Become Powerfully Productive, and Finish Work Before Dinner.
In this episode, we cover tons of tactical strategies you can implement right away to manage your time better so you can have less stress, produce better work, and be more consistent in the gym (without feeling guilty). Nothing is better than laying your head on the pillow at the end of the day and being completely satisfied with how the day went — that's what our conversation entailed. Hope you enjoy and make sure to check out the first chapter of Mike's new book below, completely free.

56 min - How To Eat Like An Adult | Minisode #45
If you're an adult who regularly eats cereal for dinner, this Minisode is for you. I'm not recommending a full-course dinner for every meal, but, as adults, we've gotta make our nutrition a high priority, even as life gets busy.
In this Minisode, I talk about accepting tradeoffs between life and fitness goals as you get older, dealing with emotions sabotaging progress, and one skill every adult should know. Hope you enjoy!
