Josh quote: "Be always at war with your vices, at peace with your neighbours, and let each year find you a better person." - Benjamin Franklin

Kyle quote: “The grind doesn't know what day of the week it is. Time doesn’t take a day off” & “Sometimes you need to fall off the wagon to get back again”

How do you deal with negativity about change in your fitness journey?
How do we know we recover properly? How did you know that you're program was too much?
If you’re doing 10 reps and need a spot on some, at what point do you lower the weight? If you need help on the last 2, or last 3,or last 4? When is it better to do a lower weight with more reps or higher weight with some help?
How much water should you be drinking?
I love your podcast and the content y’all put out and I wish I could leave you a review but I have spotify. Every morning when I come into work I’ll binge probably 10 episodes!
I wanted to ask you a question regarding supplements. I wanted to know if you think there is an optimal time of day to take supplements. I regularly take multi vitamins, CLA, green tea extract, omega 3s first thing in the morning. I've talked to other people and I notice some would take supplements during a meal in the middle of the day or a different time of day. I've always taken it in the morning so I don't forget. Am I missing out on any benefits by not taking it at a different time?

137: Carbs or Fat, Which is Worse? Dec 26, 2019

Show notes

In today's episode we go over carbs and fats and their roles in your diet. Which nutrient will help you succeed and which will hold you back.
Facts:
As long as you do not overindulge, there is nothing inherently harmful about carbohydrates.
Eating less carbohydrate (especially processed carbs) can be helpful if it helps you eat healthier. But if cutting carbs makes you eat worse or feel worse, or you if can’t stick with the diet, you should consider other options.
Low-fat diets are not inherently unhealthy, shunning all fat from your diet can be dangerous, since your body needs to consume at least some omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids.
A diet low in fat (14–19% of calories) might reduce total testosterone levels by 10–15% in otherwise healthy men.

Coaching opportunity: www.colossusfitness.com/onlinecoaching

In today’s episode we go over how much protein you should be eating and all the considerations that go into your total daily protein intake. This is a topic that a lot of people find insanely confusing, and our goal with this episode is to break it down and make it as simple to understand as possible.

Ultimate protein recommendation:

Colossus Fitness: 0.8-1.2g (Trained athlete’s goal)

Layne norton protein recommendations:

Under 18 years: 0.6-0.8 grams per pound of body weight

19-40 years: 0.8-1.1 grams per pound of body weight

41-65 years: 1.1-1.3 grams per pound of body weight

Over 65 years: 1.3-1.5 grams per pound of body weight

Take away: "Even if you don't measure it out to the gram, the lesson here is that as you age, you need more protein," Layne Norton, Ph.D., says.
