Zero exercise to habits to bodyweight training to powerlifting – 2017

A full recap of 2017. January I was in limbo after hitting goal weight 2 months back. March started habit building. June started documenting. August started bodyweight training. October started powerlifting. Skinny to thick. Cut to bulk. It’s been a super fulfilling year. Onto 2018! Happy New Year!

This episode I do a full recap of the year from fresh off reaching my initial weight goal, to habits, exercise, supplements, mindset, future plans, and much more.

 

#027 – Christmas Q&A

When & how did you make the “switch” in your head to go from a crash diet mentality to actually realizing it’s a lifestyle?

Holiday season is here. Thought it’d be fun to do an episode of the FAQs I get over the years. How many sit ups do I do? What kind of diet did I try? Had some deeper questions towards the 2nd half of the episode as well. Merry Christmas & Happy holidays!

This episode I go through a bunch of Q&As. Questions and timestamps can be found below in the show notes.

#026 – Diet vs Exercise

by //

I lost over 110lbs/50kg doing zero exercise. Zero.

A little rant. The numbers that get thrown around is that weightloss is 80% diet, 20% exercise. When doctors told me I had to lose weight they prescribed exercise. I lost over 110lbs/50kg in less than two years doing zero exercise. Zero.

This episode I go through trend of prescribing exercise for weightloss. The upside down mentality that to lose weight means hitting the gym or going for jog. Not saying exercise isn’t important, it absolutely is. But in terms of body composition, it’s all about the calories.
