(Former) Coach Kyle drops by to chat!

We discuss his extreme diet mentality that started during his time wrestling in high school.

We also chat about his time here at PPT, the roles he has played and why he is so determined to help new people experience PPT

Normally I always recommend picking 1 good habit you want to start and focus 100% on getting really good at that before adding another.

But i figured id try a reverse approach.

I gave myself 10 measurable habits and 100 days to try and get as good at all of them at the same time as possible.

With a simple yes or no checked off at the end of the day it was certainly hard to start this and hard to see how many days I had to mark "no's"

Today I'll talk about how this relates to your training and workouts

Ever find yourself getting motivated, starting a new diet or fitness routine, feeling good for a bit, and then falling off completely??? Even worse...ultimately ending up at a higher body weight 😭

This is unfortunately super common.

Today James talks about this cycle, why it happens, and how to break out of out!

Today we dive into a much debated topic!

Strength Training Vs Cardio...well, more so how to balance both.

We discuss the difference of super sets vs circuits and the importance of rest periods with an increase in the difficulty of exercise.

James also goes over his top choices for Super Sets!

What happens when James runs into a member out at a restaurant eating a cheeseburger?

Lessons for the rest of us!

On this episode we discuss Jakes current bulking phase and the challenges of gaining size in a gym where most people are focused on losing fat.

He shares important data about his bodybuilding journey, including the years of his previous competitions and upcoming plans.

He also clears up the misconception that bodybuilders only eat chicken, broccoli, and rice, 😆 emphasizing the importance of a well-planned nutrition plan.

Jake also chats with James about his adopted pit bull who he saved from a shelter and now a service dog.

Today James sits down with a special guest!! One of our newest coaches...Some of you may know her as Ragin' Rachael! (We think this name is a nice compliment to our very own Psycho Sid)
