The Some Days Off Show: Recent Episodes
thesomedaysoffshow
So the big question is this,
How is it that busy, goal-oriented people like us, who are over fad diets and workouts that leave us feeling injured and beat up, who are juggling their life while building careers, starting families, and enjoying their hobbies. How do we balance our workouts, our nutrition, and our life in a way that lets us get strong, have more energy, and get in the best shape of our lives?
Are you a consistent cow?
Or have you found yourself in a training break?
If so, this is the episode for you. On this episode, Pat, Gaspare and Mike talk about coming back from a training break. Mike and Gaspare talk about their experience and what are some of the habits they see in clients who find success after they return to the gym. They also spend a little bit of time talking about bulking season and take a moment to shout out a member of the Stoked fam.

The big question is,
how is it that busy, goal-oriented people like us, who are over fad diets and workouts that leave us feeling injured and beat up, who are juggling their life while building careers, starting families, and enjoying their hobbies, how do we balance our workouts, our nutrition, and our life in a way that lets us get strong, have more energy, and get in the best shape of our lives?
That is the question, and the Some Days Off Show is the answer!
