In this episode, I break down the five most common reasons candidates fail SFAS selection and what you can do to avoid making the same mistakes. We cover fitness preparation, land navigation, team week, mental fortitude, and attention to detail—five areas that repeatedly separate selected candidates from those who get dropped.

Need a proven SFAS preparation plan?
Check out the TTM SFAS Prep Program and Development Plan

Designed specifically for SFAS candidates with structured training for running, rucking, calisthenics, carries, strength, and endurance so you can show up prepared—not guessing.

JG3.0 Sale still live! (Ends tomorrow—20 Dec, 2025 at 11:59PM)

Use code JG3FIT at checkout for 25% off!

In today’s episode, I break down 12 major training mistakes I made as a green beret that I’d go back and change if I knew better. I made these mistakes so, assuming you listen, you don’t have to.

I had a great time shooting this one. It’s chock full of nuggets and applies to SO MANY people’s training tendencies—future, current and even former SOF (as well as just general hard chargers).

I planned on making it a shorter episode, but I get really passionate and it went longer. All important stuff, though!

Thanks for listening! Here are today's topics!

00:0:00 – Intro / JG 3.0 Sale
00: 5:34 – Married to the barbell, anti machines/specialty bars
00: 17:48 – Oly lifts, without the skill
00:26:29 – Insane metcons
00:31:55 – Ruck/kit running year-round
00: 35:34 – Doing burpees
00:39:05 – Training so hard it interfered with on-the-job performance
00:42:54 – Regularly sacrificing sleep to get training in
00: 47:13 – Chasing strengths, neglecting other things
00:51:20 – Absurd amounts of pull-ups, mostly weighted, all same grip
00:54:28 – Thinking hypertrophy training was a waste
00:57:57 – 200% programs
00:1:02:34 – Going hard on weekends with alcohol, then destroying myself on Mondays
01:07:33 – Outro

Cyber Monday Sale
All Terminator Training Method PDF programs and the SOF Prep Recovery Guide Ebook are 40% off with code CYBERMONDAY thru Wednesday 3 December at 11:59 p.m.

Episode Summary
Kevin shares six Special Forces habits that helped him grow Terminator Training Method from a side project into a thriving coaching business with a long waitlist—and how you can apply them to SOF prep, entrepreneurship, or just being a higher-performing human.

What You’ll Learn (6 SF Habits → Business & Life)

  1. Represent / Look the Part – Why your physical presence, body composition, and overall “put-togetherness” act as a walking billboard for your credibility.
  2. Wake Up Early – Using quiet pre-dawn hours for deep work, training, and needle-moving tasks without distractions.
  3. FITFO (Figure It The F*ck Out) – Developing resourcefulness, solving problems without hand-holding, and learning fast instead of waiting to feel “ready.”
  4. Seek Expert Guidance – Hiring coaches and specialists to accelerate progress, free up bandwidth, and get higher-quality outcomes than doing everything solo.
  5. Work to Standard, Not Time – Setting high standards for output and stopping when the mission is complete—not when an arbitrary clock says you’re done.
  6. Plan & Prepare – Weekly and daily planning, rehearsals, and reps so you’re not winging it with selection, briefs, business tasks, or nutrition/training

In this episode, I discuss the top 7 ways to put up better run and ruck times on test day...that have nothing to do with your fitness levels and/or your training plan.

Of course, training is crucial for improving fitness, and I've discussed countless ways to get faster at both of these activities in the past.

But these 7 tips are things you can implement to hit a PR if you hypothetically had a time trial TOMORROW.

Check it out to learn more.

Topics:

  1. Pacing

  2. Fueling

  3. Hydration

  4. Warmups

  5. Know yourself (pre-race activities)

Dr. David Walton, commonly known as TF Voodoo, is a retired Green Beret officer who served an ODA Team Leader with 7th Special Forces Group.

Since retiring, he's become widely known as the world's leading expert on Special Forces Assessment and Selection (SFAS), where he's played an integral role in optimizing every aspect of it to ensure the Army Special Forces select only the most qualified candidates.

Dr. Walton has spent countless hours studying and observing SFAS classes, so much so that he's considered an SFAS encyclopedia. Despite the open-source information available in today's digital world, SFAS continues to see less than favorable selection rates. In the episode, Dr. Walton reveals some of the reasons for this dilemma.

Dr. Walton is also an author of 3 books, Ruck Up or Shut Up, Shut Up and Ruck, and his newest soon-to-be-released land nav book, Never Get Lost.

He also hosts a monthly comprehensive day and night land navigation muster at Hoffman Land Nav site, where the SFAS star course is held. On his website, he posts the details at the beginning of each month. I've personally attended this course twice, and can vouch for it being highly valuable for aspiring candidates, especially knowing that land nav is cause for more SFAS failures than any other portion of selection.

Follow Dr. Walton on instagram: tf_voo_doo
Website: https://tfvoodoo.com/

In this episode, we discuss the following:
His upbringing and path to Special Forces
Ranger School trials and tribulations (including getting bitten by a snake, and still graduating as the Honor Grad)
Selection statistics and why the attrition rate has been so high as of late
Introduction and rise to niche-fame on the Green Berets Subreddit

In part 2, we answered 5 listener questions, including:
1. What separates guys that get selected vs. guys that actually end up finishing the Q course? what separates guys that finish the Q course from guys that thrive on an ODA?
2. What are some techniques/procedures to reduce cognitive load during Land Navigation week at SFAS? Bonus - Is there a method to handrail roads/bowling alleys at night that totally avoids being roadkill (or closer than 50m)?
3. What additional traits and attributes does someone need to be a successful SF officer compared to an enlisted SF soldier?
4. What are 5 habits that can be done everyday to build character and grit for SFAS?
5. Given that SOPC is now only a few weeks, how should an 18Xray physically show up to OSUT if crushing SFAS is their number 1 priority? What times/numbers do you want to see prior to shipping to account for the detraining that will happen?

Whether you're an aspiring Special Forces candidate or just looking to improve your character and fitness for life, you can't miss this episode!

Today I welcomed Jon Hamilton from Infitinite Grit onto the show for a long discussion on a wide range of topics.

In the the first hour of the show we dive into Jon's background in the military, to include his early wake up call in EOD school and his subsequent career in the 160th and The Army Special Forces. We then transitioned to present day and discussed his current online coaching business, Infinite Grit. Topics included:

-intro and background
-military career, lessons learned, decision to go SF, his SFAS prep approach from both the physical and personal development perspectives
-a breakdown of what Jon's currently doing w/ Infinite Grit
-the most common struggles of guys prepping for selection (physical, mental, lifestyle)
-underrated/high leverage non-training habits for guys preparing for SFAS
-Jon's current fitness goals, training and highest ROI habits for success

For the 2nd hour of the show, we both provided our in depth perspectives on answers to TTM listener questions. These included:

- Optimizing training & lifestyle for an LEO 4 days on/4 days off schedule
- Concerns about losing running speed after dropping the intensity and undergo a robust base building phase
- Mindset, strategies and tactics on maintaining fitness throughout the 18X-ray pipeline (OSUT to Day 1 SFAS)
- Pros and cons of strongman style training instead of traditional strength training as a primary focus for SFAS prep
- The differences in fitness requirements for SFAS vs. The Q course vs. ODA life and how to approach each one
- What we think are the most critical, non-negotiable physical and character traits for success in SFAS

Whether or not you're prepping for selection, this episode is full of wisdom for any big goal. I hope you enjoy it and thank you for listening!

In today's Q&A episode I answered more detailed questions from my new ask me anything google form (find it here to have your question answered in a future show). As such, there were slightly fewer questions than usual but more context was given. Questions included:

-When running repeats or tempo runs, my legs give out before my heart rate reaches zone four or five, how can you train this?
-Have you heard or seen guys in the Q course go from guard to active duty because they want to do the job full-time?
-What has been the heaviest you've weighed and what were your cardio times like?
- when you were active did you ever consider competing in the best ranger competition?
-Can the onX hunt app and/or orienteering be sufficient in preparing for SFAS? What do land Nav courses like TF Voodoo's provide that cannot be achieved by the previously mentioned strategies?
-Is it wise to continue adding zone two volume if I'm still walking for a chunk of it currently at 180 minutes? I'm a former football safety trying to build an aerobic base.
-I've noticed that performing intense workouts later in the day around 4:00 PM negatively affects my sleep. I would like to know the science behind why. Also, if you are forced to exercise later in the day, any tips to help mitigate poor sleep?
-What are your must have daily supplements and what brands?
-When should I be stretching and foam rolling before or after the workout? And for how long is this something I need to do even if I skip the gym?
-What should I eat before a workout at 7:00 AM to ensure I'm well fueled?
-Is there a correlation between heart rate and stress levels?
-For Jacked Gazelle. When going into the tempo run immediately after day four's lifting session, do I have to do the full 10 minute warmup? I'm already feeling warm from leaving the gym, I drop my water bottle off in the car and then start the run from the parking lot.

This episode includes 35 pieces of advice I'd give my 21 year old self as a now 35 year old former Green Beret to experience success and smooth sailing throughout my preparation and career.

While this advice is technically biased towards aspiring SOF, I believe it's applicable to anyone looking to achieve big things and any arena. The topics discussed include:
1) You’re doing enough. Training more will only detract from your progress
2) BB Squats grind your shoulders? Here, try this safety squat bar! (You’ll thank me in a decade)
3) Your bench press 1RM isn’t tested at selection. Just be sure to train/overload the push pattern.
4) Your deadlift 1RM isn’t tested at selection. You should still hinge, but what’s your 5 mile time?
5) Being an athlete is great. Sustain! But what are your character flaws and plan to bring them up?
6) Do strength and conditioning...separately most of the time. Do less cardio with weights.
7) You like using machines? That’s fine. They’re great training tools and not impure!
8) If you keep doing burpees while the rowers and bikes collect dust, you’ll be embarrassed in 14 yrs
9) Steve Prefontaine’s mindset is great for motivation, but not great for optimal run progress
10) 12 beers, 9 slices of pizza & late night meat in tube form is not an optimal carb load strategy
11) Instead of ‘training the hangover out of you’ try avoiding them in the first place
12) The things that instill a sense of fear are the things you need to be pursuing
13) You’re always going to feel under-prepared. Embrace it and go perform anyway
14) You should prioritize full ROM lifting instead of 1/2 assed ‘mobility work’ and shortened partials
15)Have more conversations with strangers. “Hi, how are you?, Good thanks” Doesn’t count.
16) Your running background helps, but it’s not everything. What’s your 12 mile ruck time?
17) You need to get uncomfortable more. Brutal training isn’t everyone’s comfort zone, but it’s yours, so that doesn’t count. Find something else
18) Rest days don’t set you back. They do the exact opposite. Take them
19) You hate rest days? Your adult life is going nowhere if you only do things you enjoy. Even more reason to take them!
20) Practice being socially comfortable without booze. It’ll pay off in ~12 years when you quit
21) You’re a little too lean. You’re gonna be cold if you go in the winter. Eat another burger
22) You feel your quads more on a belt squat than a back squat because your femurs are really long. Use the belt squat, it’s ok!
23) Read more books. Listen to books/podcasts on long drives instead of solely music
24) Scroll less. Watch less nefilx.
25) Sleep matters, even when you’re young. Stop treating it like an inconvenience
26) Just because you were born in the same town as someone or drank at the same bar as someone doesn’t mean you’re required to be friends
27) Hang out with people who push you to be better and share your general disposition in life
28) Find someone who has been where you want to go and learn from them
29) Party less. If you succeed in this endeavor, it’ll be despite of your lifestyle, not because of it
30) Nutrition shouldn’t be an afterthought. You’d perform better if you ate better
31) plain water on long runs and rucks is slightly better than nothing (at best). Try some carbs & salt
32) Learn about more things than just fitness and your day job
33) Be more present. Thinking about the future is a great feature, but doing it 24/7 will drive you insane
34) Your parents will advise you based on what they think is best for you, but that doesn’t always coincide with what actually is best for you (ly Mom)
35a) Just because you can do something, doesn’t always mean you should
35b) Anytime you hear ‘you should’ or ‘you shouldn’t’ from someone, pay attention. It could mean you’re onto something extraordinary if you do the op

In this episode, I broke down a 1 year SFAS plan, broken down into quarters.

I talk about the main fitness, character building, and personal development concepts for the following time frames:

Today (hypothetically 1 year out)
D minus 12-9 months (tomorrow - 9 months out)
D minus 9-6 months (9 months out - 6 months out)
D minus 6-3 months (6 months out - 3 months out)
D minus 3 months-10 days (3 months out to 10 days out, aka taper)
D minus 10 days to game time (Taper)

Regardless of your timeline, you can find valuable information in this episode geared towards improving your fitness, interoperability, character, and skillsets to set yourself up for success at SFAS.

Show notes: We switched it up this week with an overrated/underrated episode. I'm considering making this a part 1 and doing a part 2 here soon, as I only got to about 5% of the list and there are some other great ones.

I covered a lot of great topics I don't discuss very often, and therefore really enjoyed this one.

Here are the topics discussed:
-Living In Southern Pines, NC
-Reddit For SFAS Advice
-Deload Weeks
-Low Carb Diets
-Men with long hair 😂
-Tapering for SFAS
-Crossfit WODs
-Ice Baths
-Raw dogging workouts (no phone)
-Full ROM Squats
-Reverse hypers
-Drop sets
-Antagonist supersets
-Deadlifts
-Intermittent fasting

In today's episode, I discussed 12 common SFAS prep myths and why they tend to hold candidates back.

The myths include:
-Everyone should train the same
-Everyone's prep should be (x) long
-You should ruck w/ 65-70+# in training
-You can prep for selection w/ minimal rucking
-You can do mostly cross training (non running/rucking)
-You can just do CrossFit
-You need to do certain gym exercises
-You need to have specific gym strength #s
-You shouldn’t fuel some of your training sessions
-You should mimic selection conditions (sleep deprivation, team week mimicking events, etc)
-You need to do all your runs and rucks in uniform
-You need to use a sledge hammer/rubber ducky to mimic a weapon

The internet is riddled with self-proclaimed exerts spewing unsupported info about selection prep. There are many issues with this, most notably the tendency to cause paralysis by analysis, which has the potential to moderately to significantly detract from your preparation.

SFAS prep is simple. It requires consistent, hard training, but there's nothing complicated about it. This episode will dispel the BS and hopefully clear your mind from all that doesn't matter, allowing you to focus on the big rocks and acheive your goal of showing up as prepared as possible to crush selection. Thanks for tuning in!

This bonus episode provides an overview of the latest TTM program, the aptly named 2 mile & 5 Mile Running Program. I receive a plethora of questions about many of my programs, and since this program has been released, I've fielded dozens of questions about it in my DMs, so I figured it would be worthwhile to make an episode going over the program. Consider it a "preemptive FAQ" episode.

The episode includes discussion on the following topics:

-Sale extension announcement: 25% off sale now ends Friday, 19 July at 11:59 PM (no code necessary)
-Other program discount code: SPEED25 for 25% off any TTM program or eBook on the website
-What the program is, who it's for, who it's not for
-How it differs from Jacked Gazelle
-Explanation of the pre-program overview, the base phase, and other noteworthy details
-The program structure: phase 1, time trial week, deload week, phase 2, test week
-The weekly running structure in both phases
-The weekly lifting structure in both phases
-Notes on how to execute certain types of runs (speed/threshold work)
-Ways to enhance the programs effectiveness and mistakes to avoid
-What you can expect for results and all the variables that factor into your speed increases

Enjoy the show!

By popular demand in a recent IG poll, in this episode I recap my experience as an 18X-ray, beginning from prior to joining the army, going into OSUT, airborne, SOPC hold, SOPC, Selection, and each phase of the Q course.

I talk about my experiences in each phase of my life at this time, as well as embedding some lessons learned about what to do and what not to do for those listening who are looking to take a similar route (X-ray or non).

This was a trip down memory lane and although I struggle to talk about myself, I found it to be an enjoyable episode. I hope you find it valuable and thanks for listening!

Statistics don't lie: 2/3 or more of the candidates that show up to SFAS leave camp Mackall without a "selected" certificate. Although physical fitness is not the only requirement for getting selected, it's the foundation. To show up physically prepared, you need to do the right things in training. Recently, I've seen some "program advice" posts on reddit that include programs that look more like soup sandwiches than an actual selection prep program. Because of this, I felt compelled to make a full episode discussing how to make sure your program is leading you to the primised land (showing up prepared) rather than leading you to non-select status.

This episode includes 8 specific questions you can ask yourself about certain aspects of your program, which can be used as a litmus test to ensure you're on the right track.

The question categories include: Specificity (am I training for the right things?), Dogma (am I doing the right exercises for me?), Lifting volume (am I doing too much in the gym?), Conditioning volume/intensity (am I doing the right amount of conditioning and conducting it at an appropriate intensity), Redundancy (am I doing essentially the same exercises too often?), Structure (does my weekly training structure account for recovery and managing stressors?), Training vs/ testing (am I training, or am I testing my progress too often?), extra fluff (does my program contain extra training that will fatigue me more so than actually help me improve?)

In each gategory, I get into specific areas of your program to look at, and offer potential solutions to make sure you're doing the appropriate things.

Constructing and following a hybrid training program takes more meticulousness than most other forms of training.

Endurance training and strength/hypertrophy training don't directly support one another past a certain point, and if you're looking to improve your endurance, get stronger and build muscle simultaneously, it's easy to fall victim to frustration, overuse injury, or overtraining.

In this episode, I cover 7 of the most common hybrid/concurrent training mistakes and how to avoid them to reach your goals faster.

The mistakes include:

  • Too much workload/volume (200% program)
  • Extracurriculars (BJJ/Basketball/Men's Leagues)
  • Unrealistic expectations
  • Lack of periodization
  • Easy stuff not easy enough

Supplements?
Sauna?
Normatec pants?
Red light therapy?
These are the tools for recovery, right?

While these things aren't useless, they pale in comparison to the big 3
Sleep
Nutrition
Stress management

If you've been listening to the show or consuming any other fitness content, you're likely aware of the big 3. These are the "what" of recovery, but what's typically missing is the "how" and the "why". In this episode, I talk about why mastering the big 3 will help you recvover, as well as specific habits you can lock in to improve your ability to recover in your training sessions. Following a good program is non-negotiable, but we only perform to the degree in which we recover. If you're not doing the right things outside of training, you won't be able to perform the way you want in training. EVERY training session has the potential to move the needle in the right direction, keep the needle in the same place, or even move the needle in the wrong direction. Your chances of getting selected are closely related to how many positive needle moving sessions you can compile during your train up.

Additionally, these habits do not solely apply to selection prep candidates. They apply to ANYONE looking to level up in ANY area of life. Your potential progress relates heavily to what you do daily. Detrimental habits like scrolling, pressing snooze, disregarding your morning and evening routine, not tracking your metrics will result in a reactive, rather than a proactive life.

This episode will provide you the most profound tools and tactics that allow for better performance, recovery, cognition, and overall outlook on life. Don't miss it.

In this episode, I break down the different types or avatars of Special Forces Candidates, and explain how far out to start considering preparing for selection based on what category you fall into.

The categories:
Endruance stud (w/some strength)
The gazelle (high level runner, low strength)
The Fit Guy (but not fit for SFAS specifically)
The Speed/Power Guy (Type A and B)
The NARP (non-athletic regular person)

Many SFAS train ups are way too long - and they don't need to be. Listen to this episode to find out how long your SFAS training plan should be.

The attrition rate at Army Special Forces Assessment and Selection (SFAS) is very high. Showing up physically prepared is not the only requirement, but it's certainly a non-negotiable. Without sufficient physical preparedness, your chances of success are slim to none.

In this episode, I'm going to break down 5 of the most common train-up mistakes, as well as how to avoid making them so you don't become another statistic.

In this bonus episode, I broke down everything you need to know about physcial preparation for SFAS. Topics included:

-My SFAS experience
-Standards and times to shoot for
-Physical traits to focus on
-What not to do when preparing
-How long to train for and how to structure it
-Reasons people don't make it
And more.

Knowing what to do is only half the battle, you still have to execute. Getting selected also requires more than just physical preparedness - you must be a well rounded individual.

But being physically prepared is a non-negotiable if you want to have any chance.

There's a myriad of misinformation online these days, and in this episode I uncovered how I would recommend training for selection if I were to go again.

Please enjoy the episode and share it with a friend who wants to get selected!

Wondering why some people seemingly stay lean with minimal effort? Wondering why it's so hard for some people to lose weight and keep it off? It all starts with adopting the traits of a lean person.

If I were poor and wanted to be rich, I'd have to start doing things rich people do.

If I were a mediocre athlete and wanted to be great, I'd have to start doing what great athletes do.

Well, this also applies to fitness. If you want to get and stay lean (whether it's for health purposes or aesthetics), you'll need to adopt habits and develop traits that most lean people have.

In this episode, I go over 13 different habits and traits of lean people.

Getting lean is not easy - it takes a lot of work.

Staying lean is even less easy, especially if you don't spend the time developing the habits of a lean person habits.

Listen to this episode to find out what these habits are and how you can implement them into your life!

In this episode, you'll learn everything you need to know about bulking. Bulking is essentially an intentional calorie deficit while sending a muscle building signal (lifting weights) to your body in order to gain muscle and strength, or even just to speed up your metabolic rate.

Anyone who is into improving their fitness, gaining muscle, being able to eat more and stay lean, or just hitting PRs left and right in the gym should periodically enter a bulk in order to supercharge their progress.

Subjects discussed in the episode include:
-Bulking Defined (why you need not be scared of the word "bulking")
-Who should bulk and why
-Considerations for starting a bulk
-How long to bulk
-How to calculate required calorie/macro intake (and hear how terrible I am at on the spot math equations, LOL)
-Downsides of bulking and how to mitigate
-Lifestyle considerations (sleep/stress)
-Training considerations
-Nutrition considerations
-Bulking "hacks" from a lifetime hardgainer (me!)

This week's episode highlights the main aspects of maximum/elite health, aesthetics and performance, and how they relate and how they differ. Ideally, we'd all be pro bodybuilders, elite marathon runners, squat 700 lbs, feel great 24/7, and live till 100+. But that's not in the cards for a single person on earth. Learn what goes into maximizing all of these areas of your life, along with how to approach a single one at a time, rotate in and out of all 3, or attain balance between all 3.

Happy Holidays!

Fasting is magic.
Red meat and eggs are unhealthy.
Vegetables are unhealthy.
You can't be successful without a robust morning routine.
Turn off electronics two hours before bed.
Don't work out if you didn't sleep 8 hours.

Do these claims sound ridiculous to you? I hope so. But unfortunately, in today's world anyone can say anything they want on social media. If that person happens to be a doctor, more and more people begin to believe it. When you hear all of these absolutes and you're unable to comply to all of them 100%, it can be tempting to just give up.

In this episode, I tell you what you need to hear about each of these subjects (and more) and why although there's merit to most of them, you don't need to be perfect and try to "optimize" each category to improve your life.

Age gets the blame for a lot of issues when it comes to health and fitness. Your joints hurt, you don't recover well, you don't feel energetic like you used to...the list goes on.
I'm here to tell you that it's NOT just age, it's the fact that you can't do the things you did in your 20's and expect your older self to be able to handle them. When you age, you don't just automatically become less fit, more fat, less motivated...you just have to be more mindful of your priorities and take certain things more seriously than you used to.

In this episode, I talk about how and why I feel better now at 33 than I did at 23 (or any time throughout my 20s). I've made many changes to my nutrition, lifestyle/habits and training that allow me to feel this way, and there's certainly something (or many things) in this that you can implement into your life as well.

A lot of people will say "just eat in a calorie deficit", and just leave it at that. There's very little information/content put out about how to feel more satiated WHILE in a calorie deficit.

Heres the deal...

Losing fat doesn't have to be miserable 24/7. Sure, you'll need to accept being hungry sometimes if you're in a calorie deficit for long enough. But there are certainly plenty of strategies to mitigate how hungry you are all the time!

Topics include:
Protein prioritization
Fruits and vegetables
How to structure your meals
Snacking
Hydration
The 10 minute rule
Eating distracted

And much more!

In this single topic episode, I lay out 12 immediately actionable tips that can help you feel more full when you're trying to lose weight.

In this episode, I highlight 5 nutrition myths and 5 training myths (along with a bonus myth) that still circulate the internet to this day. Social media is great, but it's full of conflicting information that can create confusion among non-fitness and health experts. This often leads to hesitancy to start a fitness or nutrition program because it's so hard to decipher what's right and what's BS.

This episode will hopefully give you some insight on why some of the most common myths are indeed false.

Nutrition myths include:
1. Carbs will lead to fat gain
2. Fruit is bad for you
3. You need frequent meals to speed up your metabolism
4. Eating too little can lead to weight gain
5. Hormones, and not calories in, calories out, lead to weight gain

Training Myths Include:
1. Switch things up often for muscle confusion
2. Cardio is the best fat burning tool
3. If you want to gain muscle, don't do cardio/conditioning
4. Soreness, fatigue and how much you sweat will indicate an effective workout

Bonus Myth (not necessarily nutrition or training specific):

In this episode, I talk with my wife about the power of habits.

Most people think that crazy amounts of discipline is required to get ahead in life.

But most successful people have just figured out a way to make things habitual.

We talk about how to make something a habit, how long it takes, why it's so important, and examples of several fitness, nutrition, mental health, and business/productivity habits.

In this single-topic episode I discuss several training and nutrition considerations for hardgainers; skinny or skinny-fat people who have trouble gaining muscle.

Incorrect blanket statements people make about hardgainers
1. You should train less- why would someone trying to gain more muscle train less?!
2. You should only do barbell lifts- barbell lifts are important, but not the holy grail. To avoid injury, dumbbells, bodyweight, cables and even machines can help.
3. You should only do low rep compound lifts- Most of your training should be compound lifts, but isolation lifts can also help
4. Avoid cardio and all additional movement- cutting cardio will make you out of shape, less healthy, and less able to recover between workouts and sets.
5. Eat as much as possible with no regards to food quality- yes, you need to be in a calorie surplus, but anything more than ~500 calories/day will likely lead to fat gain.

Listen in for several more training and nutrition tips for hardgainers. Even if you're not a hardgainer, you can still take away some helpful information to maximize muscle growth from this episode.

In this single topic episode, I break down the two different types of cardio/conditioning that are the most effective at improving your health and performance.

Many people don't put much thought into their cardio. They do it for the wrong reasons and/or at the wrong intensity. Just going out and getting tired should not be your goal when it comes to cardio or conditioning (or any type of training). Sadly, most people who do cardio do it with this goal in mind, because they feel a sense of accomplishment or because their favorite influencer told them something like "no pain, no gain". They'll gauge how effective their workout was by how out of breath they were, how much they sweat, how sore they are the next day, or how much the "kicked their own ass". This is not the best approach for long term results.

Cardio can be great for health (mental and physical), improving your recovery, and boosting strength training performance, especially when done properly (at the right dose and intensity).

My wife Monica joins me in todays episode.

We speak about misinformation and myths about female fitness.

Instagram has plenty of women putting out the right information, but even more who put out rubbish. We chat about why females are getting the wrong message when it comes to fitness and nutrition and how to go about it properly.

Included in the episode:
- Why air kickbacks, wearing bands around your knees, and doing circuits, aka "cardio with weights" will leave you spinning your wheels
- Dispelling the myth that lifting makes women bulky, and and should be prioritized
- Why cardio will not get you "toned"
- Many women don't eat enough protein; strategies on how to combat this
- Progressive overload and why keeping a record of your training is key to success
- There is no "female specific" strategy. The same things that work for men also work for women

Much more!

Shoutout to The Omega Project fitness journal. Keeping track of your training is an essential part of your progress. This fitness journal is the best on the market, bar none. Don't spend any more time guessing what you lifted last time.

Let's be honest, most of us want to look better in a bathing suit (whether we admit it or not).

Looking better at the beach or poolside is not the most important thing in life. But if your habits result in you looking better, chances are it's also making you healthier and improving your quality of life!

If this is you, NOW (not the first week of June) is the time to start preparing your physique to look good not just for 1 or 2 days, but all summer.

Sadly, many people focus on the wrong things (cardio and drastic calorie restriction) in order to start shedding body fat and improving their physique.

In this episode, I'll explain why these are not the best areas to put your effort into, and what to focus on instead.

To sustainably improve your physique, while simultaneously being stronger, healthier, and feeling better, you should focus on:

-Resistance training
-Sleep
-Building better nutrition habits (by adding things, not subtracting them)
-Daily movement/walking
