Progress will sometimes come easy and sometimes will come difficult. No matter what scenario you're in, progress can still be achieved. The more education you have about YOUR OWN body, the better control you will have in understanding why you're: losing weight, gaining weight, not progressing, ect.

You are born with a specific genetic make up. This is why you stand the way you stand, or walk the way you walk. This is also why others are naturally stronger or can build muscle faster. But just because you are genetically given a way of life, does not mean you don't have the power to change it!

The 3 Key Takeaways:

• The three body types are: ectomorph, endomorph, and mesomorph
• How understanding your body type will help you achieve your goals faster
• How to go against your genetic make up and still get the progress you want no matter what your body type is

the mind is a powerful tool. What we can do with simply the way we think is: change your mindset, think into success, invision greatness and achieve it, create positivity that is contagious. This also works on a negative point of view. If we think we can't then we won't. If we think we will fail then we will never try. One thing that the fitness world has ruined is a person mindset of thinking of themselves! Social media is filled with tons of people that have the "dream body", but is that dream body meant for you? Is that person truly happy? You see a photo or a 60 second clip of their life. You have no idea what happens behind the scene or if that post was for them to make money.

In this episode I wont to help you create a powerful mindset towards your happiness and success within fitness & health!

Key takeaways

• Stop thinking so small and begin thinking in a bigger picture
• Your health is more than a 12 week training program. This is for the rest of your life, so make decisions today that will greatly benefit your health in the next 20 years
• Stop thinking down on yourself and begin thinking of the things you're grateful for

Where you are mentally will drastically transform where you will be physically. In this episode I break down my story with mental health/happiness and how you can overcome anything you're dealing with mentally through fitness. What I want you to do is think of you and only you. There are many people on social media who seem to be happy, fit, have it all, but are internally depressed, angry, anxious, ect. This is where that person who is shredded, lean, and in shape tells their best friend that they aren't happy with how they look, and that friend laughs because well look at them. They're shredded, why would he/she not like how they look. 

We all deal with things on different levels and react differently to every stressor in this world. But when you focus on you and only you because no one else is going to care for your health more than you should. No one is going to understand exactly what you're feeling. You need to find happiness within you to finally look at yourself with happiness and not anger, hate, sadness, regret, ect. 

Key takeaways:

• My story and how mental health took control of me
• How training can also be self abuse if you are not happy with who you are and doing this to better who you are
• How training drastically helped my anger, depression, regret
• How happiness is found within yourself through fitness/training
• Never believe social media and what "fitness" looks like. Go through your path in this life to the fullest and focus on YOU

A caloric deficit is all that is needed to maintain weight or lose weight. Depending on how extreme your deficit is, the faster you will lose or the better you will maintain. A deficit can't be to extreme because if it is then your metabolism will adjust which can create a possibility of a surplus which will lead to weight loss. Having a coach or someone who can guide you will always lead to success on the first shot! This episode will show you just how easy it is to lose weight while eating foods you still love.

Key Takeaways:

• Weight loss is not about starving yourself, it's about being in a caloric deficit
• You do not need to restrict yourself from foods you love
• Eating junk food is NOT the right way to eat. Eating for health is priority
• A deficit is achieved by eating less calories or burning more calories than you consume

Everyone wants to lose weight and get toned but most people either don't know how or don't want to do the things that are NEEDED in order to achieve it. Shredding body fat, losing weight, getting lean, ect, is not as complex as it seems. What makes it complex is you deciding whether or not you're willing to get it done. There are 3 simple and effective ways to achieve weight loss/ Fat loss, and in this episode I will break it done plus a bonus!

Before you dive into the audio, I want you to understand that the main focus should always be to be healthy overall, and when it comes to dropping "weight" you should view it as losing body fat. This is where body composition comes into play. You can lose weight and not look like you're losing weight. You CAN'T drop body fat and not look like you're not dropping body fat. While body fat drops, the muscle is able to show, which equals out to that lean look.

The more you fail at your health the more money the government makes off you. Think about it, can you recall any point in time in your education (all from grade 1 - 12) being taught how to eat for health? Do you remember a time where you were taught the importance of movement and how to prevent injury, illness, disease, and pain. My answer is never. I was never taught how to eat right, stay hydrated, or how to move correctly. After learning all these things by the time I was 19 years old, I finally had the ability to understand my health and how to give it what it needs to benefit my health and I for life. 

You will be one of two people if you don't take action today: 1) a person who is manipulated to fail with their health, or 2) a person who studies to succeed with their health. Why is Mcdonald's a multi billion dollar fast food company? Because the most expensive thing on their menu is probably $8, how is it that they make billions a year? They do this because even with the dollar menu alone, they have millions of people who order of it daily! We have evolved in food and have made it easy to get "fed". We have made grapes taste like cotton candy. We have done incredible things to make food absolutely deadly for the body. In this episode I will break down every aspect of it.

I'm always asked questions that shouldn't be asked first. For example: "Yo matt what supplements should I be taking for muscle growth". Yes this is a great question, but I always reply with "what is your current macro split". And majority of the time I'll get answers of them not knowing what a macro is. In the military, we are taught how to take apart our rifle, clean it, put it together, and repeat over and over again before we can even shoot it. 

If you don't understand food, why are you worried about supplements? When it comes down to training, there is no secret method or magic angle. All it is is getting the most out of each contraction and elongation of the muscle. How can you better break down the muscle through a single rep/range of motion. Bring the intensity and progress will come! Progress is not created with 4 hours in the gym. It's created by what you eat, how you recover, how you hydrate, and how you are going to build.
