Josh: “Be alive and really live.”

Questions:

Hi Josh & Kyle. Thank you so much for doing the podcast! It is really positive and charging me with energy - very well done. Question: What is the best way to reach balance between the intensity of the training vs. risk of injury? When I train with high intensity and do exercises till failure, there is a risk that I will not notice that my form is not good. It may lead to injury.
Knee question?
Should you trust steroid-using trainers?
Are we all one body type? (e.g endomorph, mesomorph) or is it not true?
You mention not to workout when you’re sick if it’s anything below the neck, how about if you have a cough? I got a flu last week and now I’m good but the cough hasn’t gone away.

142: Mailbox Monday - Why Being Shredded Isn't Ideal, The Worst Personal Trainer Story & More Jan 13, 2020

Show notes

In today's episode of Mailbox Monday we go over: why being shredded isn't ideal, the worst personal trainer story, cardio & muscle gain, & so much more. This is a jam packed episode with lots of great questions!
Josh quote: "no one cares about what you did yesterday, it's about what you can do today"

Kyle quote: "your fitness journey is a marathon, not a sprint"
1. Why do I feel so much worse and weak when I shred down?
2. What are some workout ideas for firefighters?
3. Do you sacrifice cardio/endurance if you try to gain more muscle? I've been incorporating more strength training and it seems like my cardio stamina has really declined. I have gained a few pounds which I know can make a little difference, but it seems like I also experience more lactic acid buildup doing my HIIT exercises and can't go as long and hard as I used to?
4. When I squat, my knees tend to buckle in on the way up. I've dropped the weight slightly to a weight that doesn't cause me to do that and have been working on 5x5 at that weight, making sure I push my knees out on the way up. But it seems that every time I try to increase the weight, my knees still buckle in. Any tips on how to increase the weight while maintaining good form? I don't want to stay at the same weight.
5. What are your tips for starting a business with a friend?
6. Josh, what ever happened to that weighted blanket you got?
7. What are your thoughts on taking meds and working out? (paraceta, ibup, pseu)
8. How do I break up with my PT without hurting his feelings?
