Thank you everyone who has been dropping their questions into our question box on the website! Asking questions is the the only way you will ever get answers to what you're unsure of or want to know more of.

Thu, 23 Jun 2022 - 24min - 380 - Is it easier to build muscle or shred fat?
Yes there are three different types of body types that deal with fat loss and muscle growth differently but each one still needs effort. Just because someone is a mesomorph does not mean building muscle isn't hard work. Just because someone is naturally skinny doesnt mean it's going to be easy to look more "fit" becasue they're already low in BF. Comparing and assunming things will not get you far towards your goals. Instead of asking these questions and blaming "genetics" how about work hard for the next 3, 6, or even 12 months, and then see what kind of damage you can do with dedication, no excuses, patience, and discipline.

When you surround yourself with people/friends, are you focused on the quantity of people you have or the quality of people that support you. The qulaity of anything will always outway the quantity of what you have because quality is long lasting. This is why products that have a high quality price are priced high becasue the quality is great. The quantity gains size when the quality is well achieved.

Tue, 05 Apr 2022 - 22min - 359 - Two important principles of weight loss
Weight loss is the number one most wanted goal when it comes down to health & fitness. Weight loss is actually very simple. You follow a meal plan that organizes your daily food consumption to help you achieve results with your lifestyle type. Added along with that is a training plan that will help you sculpt the body you want as you drop body fat. All you have to do is follow the plan, be consistent, and patient with the process. In this episode, I will share with you the two important pillars that will create the success you need within your weight loss journey.

Jumping into anything that demands leaving your comfort zone, will create challenges in your life that you're unprepared for. This is a side effect of pursuing your goals. Another side effect is achieving progress, creating happiness, and improving confidence. All these side effects are from creating new limits, new challenges, and new habits/routines towards a life improvement. There will be challenges and setbacks within your path, but it will always be up to you to control your outcome. This is where the true growth happens.

Do you have insecurities you just hate about yourself? Are there things about your body you just wish were never there? Do you ever compare your body to others and think "I wish I looked like that or had her butt, legs, arms, tummy, etc". You can drastically transform your body overnight, but those insecurities will always stay until you begin being honest with yourself and work on them. These things that we tell ourselves in our head define how we act in this life. The insecurities you might have might be effecting the way you are in life and the confidence you have about yourself. Be honest with yourself and gain that true happiness.

When life tends to get difficult we have an opportunity to make two choices: 1) Take the hit and quit, or 2) Analyze the situation, what can you learn from it, then attack with everything you have. I used to view challenges as the world telling me I'm not worth anything I dream of. Now I view it as a part of the three pillars I break down for you today. If you begin to view every challenge the way I explain today in this episode, you'll never fail again, because failing demands one thing and that's lost hope with no drive. If you use a challenge as a strengthener, you'll never fail.

Weight loss is the number one goal people want to achieve. This makes sense because America has the highest obesity and diabetes ratings in the entire world. Why is that? Well we're the least educated, we have the most luxury/conviency, and we have thousands of influencers preaching the "Perfect method" when in reality, THERE IS NONE! It's about what you can sustain and maintain.

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

We all know what "healthy" looks like. If I were to put two meals on the table, one of them is a number 4 off the Mcdonalds menu and the other is a salad with chicken, you would know which one is "healthier". If it has greens, it's gotta be healthy right? Eating healthy or making healthy decisions for our body is not hard, the actual action of following through is what's hard. This is why in today's episode, I will be sharing three simple things you can do today to help with weight loss. Which in root is eating a little healthier.

Have you ever seen a fancy "7g of protein' label on the front of a specific product (mainly a high processed one). Do you see it and think that that product then is a valuable source of protein? I use to always think this, and every label had me fooled. After learning more about nutrition and talking to nutrition experts I began to learn about "Macro Dominent Foods". This is when a specific macro has more grams than any other one in that specific product. Like I mention within the episode, a lot of foods have great nutritional value, but when it comes down to losing weight, dropping body fat, you need to pay attention to macros and calories. If there is a label saying "7g of protien" then that product wants your attention because they know for sure, it's not a protein dominent product.

Aren't you tired of working so hard towards your weight loss goals, performance goals, or simply overall health goals, and not seeing the results you want? It's exhausting putting in work and not seeing results as fast you want to. This is the biggest reason why people quit with ony 1 month in there journey. Majority of people are so focused on "when am I going to lose weight? When am I going to see my abs", and they totally space the entire process of getting to their goals. This is the problem with not being grateful of what you're abale to achieve. Hitting smal goals a day are just as important and incredible, as hitting that one ultimate goal you have.

Shredding body fat is not hard to understand. What's hard to achieve in weight loss is having the mind power to push through days where all you want to do is eat a bunch of junk food. Just like anything else, goals that you want to achieve will demand hard work physically and mentally. Training takes up about 1 hour of your day when nutrition takes up multiple hours of your day. This is when you have to have a conversation with yourself about how bad do you want your goals. Other than that, losing a 1lb of fat can be achieved.

I started my year of 2022 with a 103 fever, body aches, and a head ache that was out of this world. Yes my year did not start out nearly what I thought, but I'm glad it did. Our bodies are amazing creations and very clever on telling you when to embrace the moment. I've been pushing so hard to achieve the things I want to achieve that there were some areas about my health I was neglecting, and not just that but I was also slacking in some areas of mental clarity/happiness. My year started off rough, but It's always up to us to make moves!

Merry Christmas Train Hard Live Strong Family! | 2021
One thing that really bugs me in the "fitness influencer world" is when someone puts on their feed, "Do these 5 exercises to get a 6 pack by summer". So you're telling me, if I did these 5 exercises, I would have a 6 pack by summer? I don't need to be in a caloric deficit, or do any cardio? I've said it before and I'll always say it this way, training creates the opportunity for progress. Nutrition and recovery create that progress. This is the same with building muscle. You see these guys that are shredded and girls with nice butts and legs, and they're bringing you in with that sweet headline. Do your research guys, or just listen to my podcast!

One thing that I found very quickly inside of training was there is nothing else that will ever make you better as a person than challenge. What is the primary aspect of training, it's to challenge you to improve who you currently are to transform you into someone better. Whenever you are training for a new personal record you have no idea what's going to happen when you attempt that personal record. All you know is that you've been putting your heart and soul into training to achieve that personal record. What happens if you fail at it? What happens if you hurt yourself pulling it? What happens if no one's there to see it? These are the same things that will happen in life. You will work so hard to achieve things in your life that you might not even know you will achieve. You don't know all the unknown mysteries that are going to push you off the rails towards striving for that goal. You will work and grind every single day to achieve small milestones that no one is seeing but you.

There are things in your life right now that confuse you. There are things in your life right now that hold you back. I don't want you to think of something physical, I want you to think about something psychological. For example, is it fear that is holding you back from taking that first step to making a change in your job, career, relationship, school, business, or family? Is it fear that is making you second-guess yourself within every single decision that you make? This is a psychological counterproductive emotion that is holding you back from the success that you want within your health, business, career, Etc. Just like everything else, fear has a Kryptonite. Fear's worst enemy is confidence. Confidence is built whenever you challenge yourself in a situation that is uncomfortable and come out on the other side with an achievement of doing it anyways.

How many times have you told yourself and others, "I'm going to lose 20lbs this year, that's my goal". Then after 4 weeks you forgot what your goal was. How many times have you "started your weight loss journey" but quit over and over again. I;ve said this before and will always live by this. It's not the lack of discipline, drive, or passion, it's the lack of self belief you have of yourself that makes these goals seem impossible. Believe in yourself!

We are all slaves to time right? Time is one thing that is consistent and always by our side. With a life of limited time, how do we become efficient with it? How do manage school, business, family, our health, our happiness, and everything else in just a 24 hour period? I completely understand how life can get, but I also know how quickly it can be taken away. In a life of go go go, it's beyond crucial to take time to work on YOU! Work on your health, your mental health, your body image, your self love, ect.
It does not take 3 hours a day and eating like a rabbit to achieve an amazing physique. It doesn't take crazy sacrifices and a strict lifestyle to make all this happen. All you need is a will to make it happen and a vision to prioritize it to make it a lifestyle. The current lifestyle you're in right now is normal to you right? For example, the breakfast you had is normal. The beers after work is normal. The hanging out with the kids and eating pizza is normal. There is no difference in creating a fitness/nutrition habit that then turns into a lifestyle. It'll be just as normal as it is to brush your teeth. In this episode I will break down how you can be extremely efficient with your time to optimize your freaking GAINZ!

Mon, 30 Nov 2020 - 1h 05min - 324 - 16 years of bad health & lifestyle turned around in 6 months
The leading causes of death in the US are self conflicted diseases! Self conflicted as in "we do this to ourselves"! The biggest thing that will always keep me on my toes is right now you could be creating a tumor or cancer cells within your body all due from a bad lifestyle in nutrition, hydration, sleep, and fitness. One thing for sure is aside from cancer and other major health diseases, there are other major health scares such as: High cholesterol, high blood pressure, and diabetes.
These three diseases are all self conflicted from lifestyle. To even make things worse, out of these three self conflicted diseases, high cholesterol doesn't have any symptoms and will cause a heart attack or stroke without warning. Now to imagine that these diseases are seriously self conflicted still blows my mind, and still people will rely on medication when the ACTUAL CURE is improved lifestyle.

Thu, 26 Nov 2020 - 27min - 323 - The importance of understanding and self-analyzing your body & health - Nicole Montesanti
Sometimes we get so desperate to change our body we're willing to do the extreme to get their. Sometimes we train as the average person or athlete, and we do things that are out of this world and DON'T work with our bodies, but against it. Sometimes we want to change our body & health so bad that we jeopardize the most important thing, our mental insanity & health. The better we get to understand our body (our self) inside and out, then we are able to be in full control of progress, performance, and health.
Today's guest speaker, Nicole Montesanti, has been through her ups & downs. She's been on stage competing and showing off her amazing progress she has well earned, then goes into a mental fog as well as creating an eating disorder. Imagine being in a body you don't recognize, and having to live in it 24/7. Then living in it with total confusion on how to fix it. I know a lot of us go through this daily, which is why Nicole's interview will change your life!

Mon, 23 Nov 2020 - 46min - 322 - Progress OVER Perfection
Today we dive in deep inside mindset and self love. This is by far the most important yet most difficult thing to conquer throughout life or a dramatic change in life. Society now a days has painted this picture of how we should look. For females it's, Thin waist, skinny body, thing legs, broad shoulders, and flat tummy. For men it's, big biceps, 6 pack abs, 6% BF year round, ect. Are these realistic for everyone? Are these standards we should live by? Better yet, is this the definition of perfection? The definition of perfect is: having all the required or desirable elements, qualities, or characteristics; as good as it is possible to be.
"As good as it is possible to be". So not even the definition can say perfect means flawless or without imperfections. Your body, health, and life is YOURS. No one knows it, no one has your body, no one struggles like you do, no one is you but YOU! With this being said. strive for progress not perfection. In this episode I touch 3 big topics that create the mindset of "I need to be perfect to be happy". I also share a very inspiring quote within this podcast episode, and it goes like this: "You can not go back and change the beginning, but you can start now and change the ending". Do something today to make a better tomorrow!

Mon, 16 Nov 2020 - 53min - 320 - Pain is Progress
Majority of people quit because the pain is to much to handle. Our nervous system is a beautiful thing. It let's us know what to stay away from. It lets us know when we feel uncomfortable and it's time to get somewhere a little more comfortable. One thing for sure is when the body feels pain, the body wants to try and find a way to stop it immediately no matter what is causing the pain.
Now you as the person in control of your body can decide what pain is good pain. When it comes down to specifically training, fitness, exercise, sports, ect, when we push our bodies to its limits we tend to let pain define our limits. Pain should never be a limit while on the other side lies progress. Things that are hard in life or within your health & fitness journey, will be the things that make you greater for tomorrow and that much closer to your goals. Pain is essential, pain is necessary, pain is progress!

Thu, 12 Nov 2020 - 25min - 319 - Co-founder of RpStrength and Author of Fit to success - Nick Shaw
When COVID hit and we were forced to be in our homes, did you take on an extra hobby? Did you set goals to change your health, start a business, or a podcast (like me :D). The guest speaker for today has taken opportunities in life and ran with them. The reason why I ask if you did anything during the whole lockdown is because life is full of lockdowns. There are times where we are forced to do things we don't like, but even in those areas, there are doors of opportunity.
Guest Speaker, Co-founder of RpStrength, and Author of the "Fit to Success", Nick Shaw, comes on the show today to explain a handful of things. I highly recommend you take some notes or give this episode some uninterrupted time to really absorb what Nick has to say. In any health journey, goal journey, career journey, education journey, ect, there will always be struggles and sacrifices. One thing you have total control over is what happens next. Take the things in life and dissect them. Understand them, and get up and continue to push towards whatever your journey is.

Mon, 09 Nov 2020 - 51min - 318 - How small progress can make drastic change
Majority of the time we get so focused on our goals (losing 10lbs, losing 20lbs, gaining muscle, getting faster, ect) that we lose sight of who we are and why we even began in the first place. On top of that, we strive to accomplish these goals over night or even in our first month, but in reality this won't happen (well at least in a healthy way). Doing to many changes or going drastic over night will cause a backlash effect that might push you further than where you are now. So how do we consistently move forward towards our progress?
We create small progress to fulfill drastic change towards your goals! In this episode I will explain how you can do this within your nutrition lifestyle, training, and mindset. Little moves can make a huge play, and this is how you must look at your journey. When you have a goal to shred 20lbs of fat and in 2 months all you lose is 5, don't put yourself down. Embrace your small progress and create the drastic change that you want!
And, if you haven't started your journey yet, it's okay. You can start today by applying one of the many things I share in this episode.

Have you ever had a goal so extreme that people laughed at you when you shared it? Have you ever been doubted because people didn't believe in you like you believe in yourself? And all of that then begins to make you doubt yourself and what you're capable of.......this is what happens DAILY to thousands of people. This is why people are scared to start their journey.
Ladies & gents, we have an incredible guest speaker on today's show. A girl who came to me in October wanting to do the unthinkable. Wanting to drop 100lbs and compete in her first ever, bikini competition. Nicole Todd is the definition of self empowerment and pure f*****g drive! This girl took all the negative, all the doubters, all her self doubts, and used them as fuel to drop 100lbs and get on stage, proud, confident, empowered, and happy. Nicole did this 100% naturally, no short cuts, no quick over night pills, and she's here to share with you how you can too.

Mon, 02 Nov 2020 - 51min - 316 - How cardio can make you gain weight and go backwards
The thought of getting "toned" doesn't exist within cardio. Cardio only burns the calories during the actual workout session and then your body will regulate back to square one. The human body is an incredible creation when it comes to how great we are able to adapt. With cardio your body will adapt to the amount of challenge it brings your body. For example, a 5 mile run at a 9 minute pace won't be hard in 2 months like it might be on day 1. This is also called, conditioning.
Conditioning is the goal when it comes down to cardiovascular training, but where in there does it say "cardio will help with fat loss and muscle growth"? It doesn't because cardio does makes no change in your resting metabolic rate. Your resting metabolic rate is the amount of calories you burn at rest. The way you can improve this is by STOPPING the cardio and begin the muscle growth (lift the weights). Everything needed to sustain & create fat loss to get "toned" isn't applied during cardio. Let's go in more depth inside this episode.

Thu, 29 Oct 2020 - 24min - 315 - The road to 100lbs lost and 26% BF dropped - Tyler Christensen
Today we are in year 2020. let's take the next decade and say every year all you gain is 5lbs. In 12 months all you gain is 5lbs, not bad right? A lot of people can lose 5lbs overnight, so gaining 5lbs a year sounds like it wouldn't be to bad. Let's also say you're 25 right now and for next 10 years all you gain per year is 5lbs. By the time you're 35 you will have gained a total of 50lbs. 50 extra pounds on your joints, 50 extra pounds for your heart to pump blood through, 50 extra pounds that will press against your lungs making it hard to breathe.
This simple story happens millions of times to millions of people. This never made sense to me until the great, Tyler Christensen shared his story. His story is truly eye opening. He simplifies the facts of weight gain and weight loss. He talks about how fitness and movement improve brain functions, how you can save more money by buying healthier foods, and how making a change today can change your entire life.
The most amazing thing about Tyler's story is how he struggled in the beginning. How he lost weight then gained weight and ended up gaining more weight than with what he started with. This part of his story is amazing because he didn't quit. This part is amazing because this shows even with how great his success is with his body, it didn't start off all sunshine and rainbows. It's okay if you fail. It's okay if you feel like nothing works. Tyler will bring you the inspiration you need to push forward in this episode.

Mon, 26 Oct 2020 - 51min - 314 - How to train your taste buds to enjoy healthy foods
I've heard to many people say, "I just don't like veggies. I've tried it before and I just can't do it". Vegetables are a essential nutrient to life and give the body strong minerals and vitamins that keep us strong internally. Not only that, but I've heard people basically say, "I just can't eat healthy, I love to eat to much". Well isn't "healthy food" also food. Isn't it something that people eat. Why do you think people enjoy crap food? Because that's all they're TRAINING THEIR BODY TO KNOW.
So whenever you begin to introduce healthy foods into your body, yes their will be a time where your body will want to reject these amazing foods, but guess what. All you're gonna have to do is continue to introduce these foods into your lifestyle to train your body to enjoy them. There is no quick easy route, there is only hard work and effort. The body is a beautiful creation and not liking healthy foods is only a state of mind that we need to train differently in thinking.

Mon, 12 Oct 2020 - 1h 02min - 310 - Scale Weight vs Body Composition
Looking at that number on the scale and noticing it hasn't gone down, but you're doing everything you can to lose weight, change your lifestyle, and achieve your goals, can be very depressing. Not only that, but this will also create a self doubt that can be so toxic inside your mind that you will begin to doubt yourself with everything else in life.
I'm sure you've heard of the saying, "muscle weighs more than fat". Do you believe this is true? Is 1lb of muscle heavier than 1lb of fat? NO, IT IS NOT! The weight is neutral, the only thing that is different is the volume of the mass in 1lb of fat compared to the volume of mass in 1lb of muscle. Once you listen to this episode entirely, you will have better understanding of why you see body composition change before you see the number on the scale go down.
For further knowledge on better ways to gauge progress and how to create better progress and happiness without focusing on the scale, check out episode #9 and Episode #19

Have you ever felt that nothing seems to go your way? Have you have something make you doubt your purpose and drive for your goals, dreams, and ambitions? There are so many things that can happen and already have happened that have challenged us in life and changed the way we think. One thing I want you to know and remember while you listen to this episode is, "Accept & Appreciate".
In today's episode, Toni Livers, explains how her life changed when a doctor told her she needed hip surgery. Her life changed when she came down with a skin condition that will permanently change the way she looks. All these challenges have sculpted her into the strong woman she is today. There are many things in life that are unfair, but if we accept & appreciate, we will take negatives and turn them into positives.

On today's Episode we have a returning guest speaker, Meredith Burns who was here on the show for Episode #60, to talk about mindset, gut health, gut connection to our brains, and how to see and seek out toxic people in your circle! Health & fitness is not about following a meal plan and training plan. If anything that is such a tiny sliver of your entire journey. The bigger picture is your mindset and how you view yourself along with who you bring in your circle. Meredith has been through some tough times in her life, and the self experience and love she has for herself is truly amazing, so listen close because she just might relate to you!

Mon, 28 Sep 2020 - 57min - 306 - The quality of each rep will determine how great your progress & health will be
I used to be that guy who NEVER cared how I was lifting the weight, as long as it impressed people around me I was good. Instead of focusing on ME and MY GOALS, HEALTH, and BODY, I was more worried about being a "man" and lifting heavy weight as soon as I could. Here is the thing with that. IT DOESN'T WORK AND THOSE PEOPLE DON'T CARE!
In this episode I break down just how important the quality of your lift is in two different ways. Each way will greatly benefit your progress along with your health for everyday life. No matter if you're a beginner in your journey or you've been killing it for years, make sure to tune in this episode just to double check if you're taking advantage of every rep the right way! Once I changed my mindset, my mind to body connection, and how I flex the muscle, everything improved.

Have you ever been injured and thought, "damn this is it. I can't do this lift or even the sport anymore. What am I gonna do now?" or have you been injured and because of the pain you decided to quit and back out of your sport, goals, dreams, and progress? Injuries are the worst, and they suck to deal with because the things that were effortless to you are now a little difficult.

Mon, 14 Sep 2020 - 57min - 302 - 3 questions you should ask yourself if you're feeling stuck or wanting to begin your fitness journey
Life is filled with distractions, obstacles, fears, set backs, and more. Some of these things will make us stronger or really tear us down. No matter what position you might be in, there is always something to learn. It's not about what happened within your situation but what you will do about it next.
In this episode I have created three questions that you should ask yourself either before you start your transformation journey or if you're feeling stuck. We will put ours of research and study into learning about something or someone else, but when it comes to understanding us/you, we tend to lack that knowledge. These questions will help you go in depth into the goals and dreams you have for yourself, health, mind, and body, so no matter what is going on in life, you will always stay on track.

Thu, 10 Sep 2020 - 29min - 301 - Your opinion of yourself is the only one that matters, be your greatest self - Christina Luna
Have you ever been to the gym and just been happy you were there? You weren't worrying about how you looked, how much weight you're lifting, how good you look compared to that other person in the gym with 6 pack abs or nice legs & glutes? I am going to be honest, I only ever felt that way when I took 2 weeks off do to going to the field in the Army. I never felt that way with every session. You know the saying, "you don't know how great you have it, until it's gone"? Well when it comes to our health & body, this saying is accurate.
Our amazing guest speaker today, Christina Luna, always thought this way. When she became a mother, she began viewing her time working out as a gift. Every time she was able to workout, she cherished that time and worked on herself to better herself because she knew she is worth it. This is the mindset shift we must all make.
As you go through your transformation you will hit road blocks and set backs, but when you're going through a transformation journey because you love yourself enough to take care of the ONE body and ONE health you have, the fulfillment is 10x better. Pay attention to everything Christina talks about. Her mindset is eye opening!

Mon, 07 Sep 2020 - 53min - 300 - Macros & Micros and the vision you need to create remarkable results
This episode is a rant/educational episode that will express the proper mindset you need to have while you're pursuing your dream body & health. Enough with these 1,200 calorie diets, quick fat loss pills, and all that other crap that does NO GOOD! If we do that math on our daily expenditure vs our caloric intake and mindset on what will "create" our results, we will see how much harm we're doing to ourselves.
It's crazy on how we focus so much on a stupid number that creates nothing but stress, anxiety, and unhappiness. Why do something that causes the trifecta of a bad time? We need to understand what our bodies need. We need to see how our body can sustain life in a healthy way, then focus on what we can do to achieve the goals we want physically with our body.
This episode will open eyes into a new world of thinking when it comes to your food!

Thu, 03 Sep 2020 - 28min - 299 - Titan Games Competitor, Owner of the goat wine, the struggles and success - Margaux Alvarez
Life seems to run its course no matter who you are. Life seems to through things your way that you just are not prepared to handle. Life will seem unfair at times then feel like it's on your side. The biggest thing you need to understand is that every moment is a moment and every success is a success no matter how big or small. Cherish those moments and celebrate what you have accomplished. Even if its work related, business related, school related, health & fitness related, whatever it is, enjoy your accomplishments.
On today's episode we have the great "GOAT" Margaux Alvarez. This amazing woman has competed in the Titan Games Season 2 and went to become a finalist too! She owns and founded "The Goat Wine", and really connects that gap of working your ass out for your goals & dreams, but then coming home and winding down with friends, family, or just a nice glass of the Goat Wine! Margaux has an amazing story and has had some insane life tests. She lost her sister and has done everything she can to make her proud. Enjoy another great episode on the Train Hard Live Strong Podcast!

Mon, 31 Aug 2020 - 50min - 298 - What foods to eat ,and when, around your workouts
Have you ever worried or even thought about how your meal after your workout could "damage" all the hard work you put in in your workout? Or have you ever looked at the calories burned on the treadmill and then looked on the back of a cookie pack and noticed that 3 cookies equals out to the 50 minutes you spent on the treadmill? If so, this episode is for you!
In this episode I will share the biggest and most best way to prepare yourself for success around your workouts. I will also share how your meals before & after your workout should like. I also break down everyone's goals into a 3 pillar system. With all the information I share with you in the episode, I want you to pay to attention to the last 5 minutes. The area around before the workout and after the workout are more lenient than you think!

Thu, 27 Aug 2020 - 33min - 297 - 93lb weight loss journey, Lupus survivor, hypothyroid, and business owner - Andrea Elliot
Life will always have its ups & downs. Life is very mysterious in the things it will put in your way. What if one day you were told you have a life threatening disease? What if you had to grab your health and take full control of every day to ensure you are healthy and strong because your life depends on it. I've said this before, but if you get diagnosed with a disease or condition, BECOME AN EXPERT IN YOUR OWN DIAGNOSIS.
Our amazing guest speaker today, Andrea Elliot, has been through it. She has had 2 kids, lives with hypothyroid, left her corporate job, opened up her own business, and is currently kicking lupus's ass. One thing that Andrea says in this episode is even when she was big Andrea, she loved herself. She loved her body and still felt beautiful, but only disliked her body when she looked at pictures of herself.
Andrea has an amazing story and passion for what she does for others, her family, and her business. One thing I want you to take from this episode is what Andrea says at the end of this episode when I asked her, "What words of advice would you give to someone right now who has been diagnosed with a life threatening disease or has had a huge life changing obstacle?"
Health & fitness is not about the quick results, six pack abs, shredded arms, big glutes, ect. It's about you and how you feel. It's about your health and how you are taking control of your body & health because the self empowerment you have to achieve your greatest self.

Mon, 24 Aug 2020 - 1h 03min - 296 - If you don't start NOW you never will
Our biggest enemy, our biggest critic, our biggest inspiration, is ourselves. Why is it that we can make every excuse in the world to stop us from starting our fitness journey but we don't make excuses doing things that destroy our health? I have come to a realization that there will never be a perfect coach, pill, video, song, ect, that will make that change for you. Yes you can find motivation & guidance/help, but what's going to keep you from quitting? What's going to stop you from taking that first step and starting NOW!!
You are going to be the one to do that. You have to be the one to start now! In this episode I cover 5 things you can do TODAY to start NOW! Starting now isn't as crazy as you might think, it's actually very simple and when you do one of these five things you will then open a door to great things to come.
Not only that, but I also shared some mental road blocks, through my experiences as a coach, business owner, and self experience, that have made it difficult to take that first step to start NOW.

Thu, 20 Aug 2020 - 32min - 295 - The only person who cares for your health IS YOU - Shannon Montgomery
I feel that we can all agree that not everything is this world isn't "fair" or "the right thing to do". In my opinion, sometimes things just don't make sense. For example, why do we even have medications for self-conflicted diseases when they are SELF-CONFLICTED and can be FIXED/REVERSED with a proper lifestyle change or improvement.
On today's episode we have a returning guest speaker, Shannon Montgomery, to come back on the show to discuss this confusing topic. Shannon brings up some incredible points that will open eyes and minds to everyone listening. The health care system has some faults and things that just don't make any sense. This is going to be a great episode that is filled with raw truth and passion.

Mon, 17 Aug 2020 - 59min - 294 - Manifest your passion & dreams, and they will become reality - Logan Franklin
What does it take to be the best? What does it take to risk it all, to take a chance, and go for the unthinkable? In today's episode you're about to dive into the mind of an incredible, inspirational, and passionately driven individual. No matter who you are, how much money you have, how you grew up, ect, never let anyone even yourself tell you YOU CAN'T DO SOMETHING! You will never know if you never try. So many of us quit before we even take the first step, and I know dreams and goals are scary, but the things you truly want in life will always come with fear, consistency, and getting out of your comfort zones. Doing things you might fail at.
In today's episode we have one of the goats in bodybuilding, also a Combat Veteran, Logan Franklin. He shares some powerful insights on his background, how he was raised, his time in the service, life, fitness, mindset, and of course, becoming a beast in bodybuilding. This guy won his first few shows self coaching himself. He cut out water out of his diet 3 days before his show, ate pancakes the morning of, and got up on stage and won! Logan Franklin's drive to WIN Mr. Olympia is beyond this world. He has literally done everything but GIVE UP!! Listen up everyone, you're not going to want to miss one second of this episode!

Mon, 10 Aug 2020 - 53min - 293 - 4 ways you can boost your metabolism for fat loss & muscle growth
Yo wassup fit fam! It's Coach Matt coming at you again with another life changing episode! Nutrition, food, training, weight loss, health, wellness, mental health, and metabolism (and to be honest tons more) are things I get asked a lot about. One thing that will always play a huge role in any goals you want to accomplish is.............yep you guest it, "YOUR METABOLISM". This precious engine within your body will help you enjoy foods and shred fat while doing it!
The speed of your metabolism can be moved by genetics, bad lifestyle habits, and a long lasting time of being in a caloric deficit. I don't know if you knew this though but no matter what the case may be, YOU CAN CONTROL THE SPEED OF YOUR METABOLISM if you follow the 4 ways I will mention in this episode. Metabolic adaptation to a caloric deficit is common, and a lot of people are currently doing it right now without even knowing it. This is when you hear people saying, "well I barely eat, why am I gaining weight?". As a coach I've heard this a lot and still currently do, so I wanted to drop this episode for everyone to hear. Your metabolism plays one of the biggest roles within your body. It is crucial to understand how it works. Let's get it ya'll!

Fri, 07 Aug 2020 - 35min - 292 - The power of fitness & health is greater than you will ever imagine - Sasha Ivy
With the many guest speakers we've had on the show, everyone of them has made fitness & health a mental outlet to open doors to a greater version of themselves. Weightlifting & training has helped people with OCD, Depression, Anxiety, Anger, ect. Not only that, but fitness & health has helped young kids who grew up in bad homes and rough neighbor hoods find within themselves that they are great at something. Every human body has amazing gifts, passions, and dreams. All people need to do is be able to see it even in the hard times.
The guest speaker today, Sasha Ivy, has had her fair share of troubles growing up, losing her brother, being homeless, and dealing with anger. Fighting brought her to her happy place. Fighting opened her mind into the greatest version she is and is expanding into other people. Anyone right now who might be reading this or in search of something to help you get up from any hard times you might be going through right now, this episode is for you! Sasha lost her brother and has been through some hard times, but always made it out better on the other side. You can too!

Following your dreams and listening to your body takes a certain discipline & passion. To do the unthinkable to push your body to it's limits will open doors with inside your and your external life that will fulfill the passion you've been craving. One thing I've always preached is how incredible the female mind is. The strength woman have is beyond this world, and once they figure out what their body can do with inside fitness it's game over from there.
Today on the show we have the great, Baylee Pfister, a 7x powerlifting record holder into self owned gym owner. This amazing girl pushed her body to break & hold 7 records, and it doesn't end there. She also went off and began pursuing her dreams with opening up her own gym. She dealt with plenty of self doubt and asking herself "Is this something I should be doing". Now when she brings that question up in the episode, it really becomes an eye opener. Never doubt your capabilities and always keep moving forward!

Mon, 03 Aug 2020 - 40min - 290 - Achieve these two things and you will crush your dream body goals
Why is it that we aren't impatient to get off the couch? Why is it that we aren't impatient to get out of bed in the morning? well because those things are easy. Whenever it comes down to hard work and high demand, we begin to get very impatient, and this mostly happens within a lot of fitness journeys. We want a 3 months transformation for 10 years of bad habits and choices. We want to lose 30 lbs in 8 weeks because we read something on google that said going on a juice diet will help you lose 30lbs in 8 weeks. We are always searching for a easy way out, a quick fix, and fast route to success. when in reality longevity progress comes with going through the rough & tough lesson learning road. Patience is one character we all must have going down any journey, but another huge aspect to grasp is improving your surroundings! It's extremely crucial to ensure what your surrounding yourself with is high quality & high value. These journeys get hard, depressing, alone, and sometimes you need that strong environment to help you get through those times. Not only that, but being surrounded by great influences will move you in the right direction. Learn these to qualities and the path to your goals will be smooth and long lasting!

Wed, 29 Jul 2020 - 49min - 288 - Floribama shore's star fitness & health history and purpose - Jeremiah Buoni
One thing that disgusts me that people do in the gym is look down at someone that isn't as strong, buff, cut, or experienced like them. One thing we all need to remember is our day 1 self. That person we once were when we were rookies, and remember the emotions we felt when we walked in the gym for the first time. Gym intimidation shouldn't even exist, but it does because people have to mess it up for the rest of us. One thing I love to do on my podcast is bring on people who are huge influencers, movie stars, celebrities, doctors, athletes, coaches, and more, to show that one person that WE ALL STARTED SOMEWHERE!!
Today's guest speaker, Jeremiah Buoni, Floribama shore star and FitStrong Supplement sponsored athlete, comes on the show to share his history in fitness & health, his mindset, the things we need to fix to help inspire others, and the inside look into who he was to help him become who he is! Fitness plays a huge role in everyone's life. It creates chemical reactions in the brain to create emotional releases of positivity and happiness into the world. If you feel like you will never accomplish your goals because of the fear of being judged, listen to this episode!

Mon, 27 Jul 2020 - 49min - 287 - The longevity purpose of health & fitness
Getting a nice lean body is always great, but is that really the main focus? One of my biggest fears is not being in control of my body & health and after years of abuse to my body, I am creating an illness for myself that will damage my life in the next 10 - 15 years. We never know if tomorrow will come, but what we can do is plan for tomorrow to come by dominating today. The longevity purpose to health & fitness is to continue to stay strong, healthy, and functional in your 70s, 80s, even 90s.
You get one shot at making the best out of your health. You get one lifetime to make an impact on your family line, on your friends, business, ect. We are wanting to take the fast routes to a better body but in the long run, what are you learning? This path to optimal health, physique, and performance is a marathon not a sprint. During sprints you get gassed very fast and aren't able to hold that speed for a long time. same with taking these fast routes. You can't hold a deficit forever, You can't hold dehydrating yourself forever. What you can do is take the time to learn about your body, gain power about yourself, and take everyday into your hands!

Fri, 24 Jul 2020 - 26min - 286 - The creation, growth, and behind the scenes look of FitStrong Supplements - Joseph Fazio
Every young kid looking to get big & shredded will always have this thought, "What supplements can I take to hurry and get bigger". I had this same thought everyday in the gym when I was curling the small 10lb dumbbells. What I did wrong back then was I fell for the stupid labels that these supplement lines had: "Gain 8lbs of muscle in only 8 weeks", "Get shredded and lean in less that 60 days", ect. One thing Joseph says in this episode that I truly agree with and that everyone should do is" do your research and don't just believe a label or someone telling you that's what you should take". Look into the ingredients and see how much of it is pure, what reactions will your physique receive, and whether or not if it will DAMAGE OR IMPROVE YOUR HEALTH! Guest speaker, Joseph Fazio, has a remarkable back story, has created an amazing line of supplements that not only athletes use but celebrities as well, and the Fitstrong supplement plastic jars are just filled with junk, they are filled with the right things to help you enhance your progress the right way!

The mission is not just to lose the weight but keep it off for good! When yo begin to change your nutrition lifestyle, drop body fat, and build that new body you've been wanting for years, you want to keep that old you put away and make the new you a permanent lifestyle. By going on a diet you find off google, you're going to experience a few things: 1) an aggressive cut in calories, 2) some crazy results or no results at all, 3) the feeling of being restricted from life, 4) low energy, and 5) once you finish the diet you're going to go back to your passed lifestyle and gain all the weight back because of the metabolic adaption you went through for that diet to work. It's crazy because the diet is the easy part, it's after your done with it that counts, so instead of "dieting" find out what works for your body and live a life of consistent progress.
The amazing guest speaker for today, Kelsie D'Antonio, comes on the show to share with you all how she has helped hundreds of women shred fat, lose weight, and find happiness within themselves by sometimes nutritional alone, but also adding some movement to the picture as well. Her "Nutrition Revival Academy" helps women gain control of themselves by learning what their body needs to achieve the goals they want & need!
