Show notes

🔥🔥🔥Q&A!!! I go rapid fire style today and crank through your questions one by one, providing A TON of value and content for you.

---

TIMESTAMPS:

3:30 - Can you share some of your workouts during your knee injury?

14:47 - How to have a positive mindset around fat/weight gain when in a gaining/bulking phase? I’ve never truly “bulked” because I’m too afraid to gain weight and like being lean.

18:13 - What’s your daily diet look like?

22:22 - How long does it take to recover your HPA axis dysfunction?

24:45 - I really suck at setting and sticking to goals, especially in business and health. Any tips?

28:40 - Thoughts on glucose disposal agents?

31:05- Tips to improve ankle mobility? Struggled w/ lack of flexibility my whole life?

36:15 - Is starvation mode a real thing? Some coaches say it’s a myth. What’s your take on this?

39:10 - Can you discuss around a caloric deficit being too small to encourage fat loss? I have heard it mentioned before that if the initial deficit isn't large enough the body can adapt without losing fat.

41:50 - If one were cutting for vacation, would you reverse out a bit prior to leaving for vacation? I assume just jumping from a deficit to a possible week of splurging wouldn't be the best idea and would cause accelerated fat gain.

43:43 - After a mini cut, do you do a refeed or do you go back to your previous diet.

46:39 - Do you always recommend a refeed meal when you reverse diet people?

46:58 - Getting started as a personal trainer… what’re your top 5 tips?

50:18 - Can you build muscle on a full body program? I feel like some people say it’s the best because the oldies did it and others swear it’s the worst. Where do you stand?

54:14 - Favorite Cheat Meal?

Ep. 245: BBP Mastermind Recap (Biggest Takeaway) Mar 01, 2019

Show notes

Today’s podcast is a recap of the most epic weekend I’ve had in a long time. The very first BBP Mastermind.

This Mastermind is far different than the majority of masterminds out there. This wasn’t about funnels and Facebook ads. It was about true impact – which comes from eliminating the stories we tell ourselves in our minds. Not some business strategy.

In today’s episode I’m going to fill you in on what creates true change, impact and results!
