Our bodies have a natural hardwired instinct to stay safe. When our bodies feel pain, discomfort, uncomfortability, or anything out of routine, the body will send signals to your brain forcing you to stop (quit). When this message gets relayed, you then have two choices: Give in and quit, or keep pushing and achieve progress/growth. This is a consistent action within fitness that builds and strengthens you to be the unbreakable human you can be. In this episode I want to share how you can absolutely fight your own psychological make up to see your potential.

One big question I'd always ask the big guys tat trained at my gym was, "so how many reps and sets do you guys do to get big like that?" This was a question I'd ask alot because I felt like I was doing this whole fitness thing all wrong. After years of trial and errors, I learned about growth adaptation. This is more of a focus on the feeling within your set than just simple numbers. After using this technique, my PRs jumped, I gained more muscle, and overall I felt better. In this episode I break down this simple fact of "recognizing growth adaptation".

When you start a meal plan or if you have ever started one before, have you ever wanted to know when you can have your cheat meal? Have you ever asked your coach or someone who made you a meal plan, "umm do I have to eat like this forever? Can I have a cheat meal?" Cheat meals first of all have a bad name already. You're not cheating on your plan with eating something you really want. Yes you might be eating outside the numbers you need to stay within, but, you're also trying to stay sane right? Even with refeed days, you can elevate your metabolic rate a little higher to the point to where you can drop weight (body fat) even faster. In today's episode I will share all things around cheat meals and what they can do for you or to you.

Losing weight without training or conducting fitness is absolutely possible, you just need to better understand your body's metabolic rate and your daily food consumption. There are a lot of people who want to lose weight before going into a gym, and you might be that person right now, which can be achieved if and only if nutrition is dialed in. Yes, there is more leniency with nutrition during training and body sculpting is more improved during training, but if you have over 25% body fat, you can achieve weight loss without training for now. This will also help you better understand food before you start training.

Life can be very stressful right? Having to deal with kids, work, school, business, life, friends, drama, etc, and then also juggle all that with meal prepping, training, cardio, recovery, etc. I understand how overwhelming this can all be. After training hundreds of different people, I've seen a very common recurrence in all of them. After even there first workout, they go home and sleep better. Wake up sore, but happy. Go throughout their day with better mental awareness and emotional stability. Training also applies a stress to your body but a stress that will train you to function with stress of the world.

Nutrition for progress requires a few things but one is the most important, and that's consistency. Without consistency, your nutrition will only be as good as that one meal. The more nutritional valuable meals you consume in a day, then in a week, then in a month, will allow your body to make changes with what you're giving it (shredding fat, getting healthier, building muscle, etc). This does not happen without consistency. Being consistent with your calories, proteins, carbs, and fats are important, but in my opinion, there is another aspect that's more important, and that's micronutrients. Micronutrients are made up of all your vitamins and minerals that create the strong structure you have (your health) to enhance your performance in this life. Just remember, "don't be mad at the results you didn't get, with the work you didnt do" - ET
