- How To Be Less Fat While On Vacation | Minisode #44
As the country begins to open up again, more and more people will be going on vacation and trying to stay on track with their fitness goals. Or, at least, trying to minimize the damage (hence the title, "be less fat").
In this Minisode, I wanted to go over my best tips and advice that I've used myself, but also given to the hundreds of online fitness clients that I've worked with over the years. I go over what to do before the vacation, dieting and exercising during the vacation (or lack thereof), and how to manage expectations upon returning. Give it a listen and I hope it helps!

17 min - Abel Mezemer — Racism, Changing Your Mind, & The Current State of Affairs | MTFP Ep.68
I've been wanting to talk with Abel in-person in New York City (where he is a personal trainer at Structure Personal Fitness) for quite some time, but Coronavirus has prevented that from happening. So I'm pumped this finally happened, and even more so considering the protests against police brutality are currently spreading throughout the US. Abel is black and from the Bronx, NYC, while I am white and from a small town in Kentucky—needless to say, we have different upbringings and life experiences, which we share in-depth in this episode. We also share plenty of laughs and we even get emotional in a few parts (might've been the alcohol talking).
It was a raw, entertaining, and thought-provoking chat between two humans that I'm so thankful for happening. I wanted to give Abel a platform to speak his mind, and he did not disappoint. Hope you enjoy, and maybe even learn a thing or two.

1 hr 25 min - My Top 8 Supplements Backed By Science | Minisode #43
There's two different camps in fitness right now: 1) those who are more "evidence-based" and think that supplements are basically useless, and 2) those who think supplements are the holy grail to their gainz and health. Both are wrong and, as with most nutrition advice, the answer lies somewhere in the middle. Some supplements *are* effective and in this Minisode, I go over my top 8 that you should consider trying if you don't already.
*Disclaimer: listen to your doctor before taking and I also don't receive any monetary benefits from promoting these supplements.

23 min - How to Continually Make Progress in the Gym | Minisode #42
I would venture to say the majority of people walking into the gym don't have a plan. They may have a workout for the day, but not a plan that facilitates progress over the long-term.
In this Minisode, I talk about why there's a difference between just sweating a lot and "feeling" like you got a good workout in, vs actually making real progress. Ideally, we could do all of the above, but sweat and feelings don't dictate legit progression. I also talk about safer and more effective ways to measure your progress over time, besides just adding weight to the bar and using crappy form. I think you'll get a lot out of this one and I hope you enjoy!

19 min - Rico Incarnati — Life Changing Decisions, Finding Inspiration From Role Models, & Why Mental Health Matters | MTFP Ep.67
Had an AMAZING conversation with the Italian Stallion, Rico Incarnati. Rico is a videographer and photographer who currently works with Jordan Syatt in New York City. He's not the typical "fitness guest" I have on the show, but his perspective and his story emulate exactly what I'm interested in teaching my audience.
We dive into Rico's background, why he changed career paths in college, how he got the opportunity to move to NYC, what goes into his creative process, who he finds inspiration from and how he uses that to his advantage, how he takes care of his mental health, and, to quote his tagline, how to "be a f*cking shark."
Oh, and lastly, I couldn't end the conversation without asking him where to visit in Italy and what his favorite authentic Italian spots are in NYC. You guys are definitely in for a treat—enjoy!

18 min - Avoid These 6 Stupid Gym Mistakes | Minisode #40
Gyms are opening up and the novelty of it all is going to make people do a lot of dumb things. BUT, if you check out this Minisode, you can avoid falling victim to their same dumbness.
In all seriousness, I've done every single one of these throughout my years and I want to make sure you don't limit yourself (or injure yourself) by making the same mistakes. Hope it helps!

21 min - Josh Taylor — Juggling Life & Fitness As You Get Older & Priorities Change | MTFP Ep.66
Josh is a fellow Silly Goose from London that I met on Instagram a few weeks ago when he shared my work. He followed a lot of the same people I followed, believed in similar ideas, and he's *almost* as good looking as I am, so I decided to connect with him.
Despite his aesthetic shortcomings, we had a great conversation about how our perspective on fitness has evolved as we've gotten older. Starting out as a boxer for about 10 years, Josh fell in love with weights and eventually became a PT at a local gym. That evolved into competing in physique competitions and getting ridiculously shredded on stage. As for schooling, he also never went to university because he didn't exactly excel in academics in his younger years, as he mentioned he would constantly "bunk" class (British slang for "skipping") or get in fights. That is, until recently, when his thirst for knowledge, fear of imposter syndrome, and yearning to become a better fitness coach drove him to pursue a degree in biochemistry.
His priorities have changed over the years, but—like you and me—fitness remains the bedrock of it all, so it was cool to hear how he's managed things along the way. It could've been the alcohol talking, but we had a great chat and hit it off like a couple of lads. We hope you enjoy it, too.

57 min - How To Get Drunk, Not Fat (A Guide To Alcohol) | Minisode #39
The hard truth is that, physically, alcohol is not good for us. But that doesn't mean we can't indulge every once in a while and practice drinking in moderation. Whether it's at a bar, wine with dinner, or during a celebration—we don't want to be "that guy" who says they can't drink because of their diet. Luckily, I have a plan for us to be able to get drunk, but not fat.
In this Minisode, I cover:
-How many calories alcohol contains and how to balance our calories to limit fat gain
-Why alcohol isn't inherently fattening, but the food AFTER we drink *is*
-The effects alcohol has on our hunger and satiety (and what to do about it)
-My post-drinking plan to stay on track with your fitness goals, but still enjoy a night out
-What "moderation" even means and how to implement it
-and much more!

16 min - How To Gain Muscle As Fast As Possible | Minisode #38
Despite the click-baity title, this Minisode is my absolute best evidence-based advice for building muscle as quickly as possible. The catch is that you're going to have to give up any alcohol and track every single thing you put in your mouth (among other things). There are obviously trade-offs if you want to build muscle as fast as possible, but if you accept them and commit — there's no reason you can't implement these tactics and see serious progress. Hope you enjoy!
