A common question that Charlie gets asked all the time is, what is the perfect rep range on building muscle and losing fat? In today’s episode, Charlie will give you the nitty-gritty facts on fat loss and hypertrophy. He even adds on explaining the goal for weight training. If you are new to training, you have the golden ticket! You can progress quicker than anyone because your body is an untapped resource. Our bodies progress from what’s called an adaptive response. If your body hasn’t adapted to weight training, your body will adapt quickly, provided you give it the right stimulus.

“Longevity is everything, the greater your ability to train without being injured, the better.”

-  Charlie Johnson

If you think about it, most people are used to eating cereal, and then they have this assumption that they have to eat eggs, sourdough toast, and avocado. They go from one extreme to the other. What we advocate is that you have a mixture of both fun stuff and slightly more boring food. In this episode, Charlie gets together with one of the elite coaches of CJ Coaching, who has been in the fitness industry for over 15 years, Jonny Irons. They go over several pointers on how you can be lean for life and be healthy, fit and also flexible, and sustainable in the process. There are outliers that exist who break all the rules, but you must not take advice from those people; they are the elite, they can do what they like.

“Small steps to the moon. Take small steps towards your goals and they add up.”

-  Jonny Irons
