And, uh, right here we’re to speak about your health journey, Dan. And I like to start out these interviews with simply getting listening to the place you have been earlier than you discovered me and located my work and by way of your health, what was working?
What was not working? What had you tried beforehand? What targets are you continue to attempting to realize? And I’d love to listen to how that enterprise led to us, uh, doing this interview.
Dan: Yeah, positive. So my relationship with health goes again to after I was 16 and I used to be the thin child in school. I satisfied my dad and mom to purchase me a solo flex machine, which was the entire rage again after I was 16.
And I began to see some reasonable outcomes from that. And since then, I’ve. Actually been hooked on weight coaching and power coaching and over the course of my grownup life. I’ve tried every little thing I’ve tried the p90x sequence the physique beast DVDs Change to the net one on one teaching in addition to simply form of the net subscriptions that you simply Buy, and I’ve educated quite a bit simply by myself from studying books and attempting new issues out.
A few of it has labored and a few of it hasn’t labored. And there’s additionally been substantial durations of my life the place I haven’t finished any weight coaching, uh, for one cause or one other. And I, I discovered myself in January of this yr, actually at my highest weight ever. I had gone perhaps six months with out weight coaching, with out consuming diligently.
And I had by no means been at that specific weight. So I began studying, determined I’m going to get again into the health program. I began studying some books. I discovered muscle for all times, the audio ebook spent numerous my time, numerous time in my automobile, and I listened to your program and it actually intrigued me. And it’s one thing that.
Struck an curiosity. And I’ve learn different books the place I’ve tried out and has not succeeded, however I favored the, the format of the muscle for all times program. And I signed up for the three month one on one VIP coaching course. And I had. Implausible outcomes. One of the best outcomes I’ve had from any of the packages I’ve, I’ve tried.
Mike: And what are these outcomes seem like for, for individuals listening?
Dan: Yeah. So I went, I dropped about 20 kilos. I begin off about one 90, so not terribly heavy, however for me, it wasn’t. My regular charge is round 180 or 170. And I bought again all the way down to 170 and even beneath that shortly after this system ended, I misplaced about 5 or 6 % physique fats.
I modified scales in the midst of this system as a result of I wished one which was extra correct. So it’s exhausting to match precisely, however I can inform simply from wanting within the mirror and I gained important power, which was comparatively simple to do as a result of I hadn’t labored out for six months. So I had. A simple time of regaining the power that I had constructed up earlier than, however then I constructed up much more power.
And the largest end result for me was truly seeing extra definition than I’d ever seen earlier than. And numerous that has to do with the weight loss program facet of this system. And I ought to say, I’ve by no means been concerned in a program earlier than the place I adopted a weight loss program format this strictly. And that’s clearly an enormous a part of the explanation for my capability to see some definition in my earlier than and after photos.
Yeah,
Mike: are you able to discuss a bit extra about that? Um, dietary compliance level? As a result of as you realize, now that I imply, consistency is that’s 80 % of the opposite recreation, whether or not it’s within the kitchen or it’s within the fitness center, it’s being constant. You can say inside, um, the constraints of what works, you could be very according to issues that simply don’t work and also you’re nowhere.
Proper? However as long as, uh, you may have a weight loss program that’s, that’s arrange correctly and as long as you may have a coaching program that’s arrange correctly. Usually talking, probably the most constant individual is the one who’s going to win. So it sounds such as you have been in a position to be very constant and that’s the place lots of people fail in reaching their health targets is they could also have a first rate weight loss program program or first rate coaching program, however they’ll’t persist with it properly sufficient to get the outcomes they need.
Dan: Yeah, and that was one thing that I actually was anxious about going into this program as a result of till now I’ve by no means charted macros earlier than I don’t eat terribly. I don’t snack. I don’t have I’ve three meals a day and so they’re fairly wholesome, however I don’t observe the macros. After which I might additionally drink alcohol and I by no means even accounted for that by way of how that affected my physique composition till this program began.
And I’m not a prepare dinner. I’ve some staple meals that I can do, however I typically over the course of my life would both eat out or order in and once more, fairly wholesome. However you by no means actually know what you’re what you’re getting whenever you whenever you eat out. Um, I used to be lucky that I’ve an incredible girlfriend who is a superb chef and he or she is a Far more into health than I’m.
And he or she’s been charting macros for years. I’ve recognized her for 17 years. We’ve been collectively for six, and I’ve at all times questioned why she’s charting her macros even earlier than the rap. She was, she was doing it. And so she helped me with my macros. She made meals for me. She weighed out the meals. I had that massive benefit.
I don’t know that I do know I wouldn’t have had the identical degree of success with out her serving to me with my meals. And that was an enormous a part of it. I might eat the identical factor for breakfast. And lunch, and that’s simply sort of the best way I’ve at all times been. After which at dinner, I’d have some reasonable protein primarily based meal often with perhaps somewhat little bit of carbs in there, however having her assist me via this course of and he or she’s now herself doing all of your program as properly was an enormous assist to me.
Mike: And also you talked about there that you simply’re consuming so the identical breakfast, the identical lunches, and it sounds such as you go away your self some flexibility for dinner. Uh, the place it’s not the very same meals, however you may have sort of a template that you simply’re following.
Dan: Yeah, that’s precisely proper. It’s rooster and it’s steak primarily, uh, with somewhat little bit of seafood combined in, however I can have rooster 5 nights every week and be positive with that.
And there’s totally different varieties and other ways to prepare dinner it, throw in some pasta simply to combine it up every so often, however I do go away my. Some flexibility, uh, each night time for that, uh, for probably the most half. After which the breakfast I might simply do, I do eggs, scrambled eggs with somewhat little bit of breakfast potatoes.
And day by day I do a lunch, I do a Caesar salad with grilled rooster. And that’s sort of the, I can chart these out. I do know precisely what number of energy, how a lot protein are in these meals. And it makes it simpler for me a minimum of to trace my macros, which is one thing I’d by no means tried earlier than.
Mike: And I’m assuming these are additionally meals that you simply like, that you simply select to eat these meals since you like them.
And day by day, uh, You, it’s not a chore ceaselessly turns into a chore. You’d change. And the explanation I’m sort of asking these main questions is for people who find themselves newer to all of this, in the event that they hear all the identical meals each meal of the day, or pay the identical breakfast and lunches, typically individuals are involved that.
Nicely, okay. Possibly for those who’re like a meals is gasoline health been at it. That’s simple to do, but when they don’t see themselves, in the event that they see themselves, perhaps it’s a bit extra of a foodie or they simply, they identical to extra selection of their weight loss program. Usually they see that as an impediment that might forestall them from with the ability to do what you’ve finished.
Dan: Yeah, I feel that’s a very good level. In reality, after I began this system, they created a customized meal plan for me primarily based on what I favored and didn’t like. And I made revisions to it. After which they despatched again a revised meal plan, which I adopted in, normally rules and among the meals varieties I might, I might benefit from, however yeah, I.
I’ve at all times loved the identical factor for breakfast and for lunch. I did modify it somewhat. I used to do perhaps a, an egg and cheese sandwich. And I went from that and simply minimize out the bread and simply did scrambled eggs with somewhat little bit of potatoes as an alternative. However I, I do like these, these meals.
Mike: Yep. Is sensible.
And and what about deal with meals or cheat meals? What about your off plan consuming? And in addition you talked about alcohol. Generally these issues go collectively. Um, how did you deal with these over this three month interval?
Dan: Yeah, I actually didn’t have any cheat meals. And that’s one of many issues that I in all probability remorse. And I feel a part of it was I used to be seeing such nice outcomes from following this system that I didn’t wish to have any setbacks.
And up to now, when I’ve had cheat meals, I felt bodily not properly, except it’s simply one thing like a bit of pizza or one thing like that. I might have perhaps earlier than like a hockey recreation only for some carbs, however I actually didn’t have numerous cheat meals. However I’ve additionally been by no means been an individual to snack or eat cookies or brownies or drunk meals.
I simply that’s simply been in my DNA. So it’s been somewhat simpler for me. However my yeah. Crutch was the alcohol, and after I first began monitoring my macros, I used to be not even together with the alcohol in my each day calorie rely, and I used to be questioning after every week if I wasn’t actually seeing any lack of weight, and I spotted, Oh, clearly that is frequent sense, but it surely didn’t happen to me.
I’ve bought so as to add the alcohol into my each day calorie rely. Depend and it’s two, three. I used to be a wine drinker.
Mike: Yeah. I used to be going to ask, is it, is it wine? As a result of that’s the unlucky conclusion that individuals who like wine have to return to is like, all proper, I don’t need to not drink wine, however I’ve to determine like, how do I, how do I match my my love of wine right into a meal plan that will get me to the place I wish to be.
Dan: Yeah. And that was very difficult for me at first. And I might drink just about each night time, one glass, two glasses, and even perhaps three glasses of wine. And I simply sitting at residence watching, watching TV and it was a horrible behavior. And I, and I knew that the one time that I drink wine anymore now’s after I’m out to dinner or another special day.
And I. I now not simply drink it throughout a traditional weeknight. What I’ve finished is I haven’t minimize out alcohol fully. I’ll have like a light-weight margarita or I’ll substitute with a few mild beers or drink nothing. However the wine to me made an enormous distinction. As soon as I minimize that out, I noticed my physique weight go down and all that every one these energy within the sugar.
And I simply I felt quite a bit higher and extra energetic. So it’s been, it’s been a facet good thing about this program that I actually wasn’t anticipated. I didn’t go into this as a, as a technique to stop consuming wine. It simply so occurred that that labored out.
Mike: And, and the way was that transition for you psychologically or emotionally?
Was it, was it a straightforward transition as a result of it was in service of a purpose that you simply felt strongly about, or was it a bit robust at first to determine or to go from consuming one two, three glasses a day all the way down to an quantity that, that labored, that happy you, however didn’t get in the best way of your physique composition targets.
Dan: It was simpler than I anticipated it to be given the truth that it was such a routine a part of my each day habits. However what I made a decision to do just isn’t. Simply restrict myself to 1 glass of wine as a result of I knew that that might be troublesome to do. So I minimize it out solely, aside from these occasions after I’m out to dinner and as an alternative simply substitute with both nothing or with one or two a lot decrease calorie drinks.
Um, and I, it was simpler than I used to be anticipating.
Mike: And and that could be a sensible approach of going about it. Many individuals will do the identical factor. I imply, that’s that’s pretty frequent with alcohol. If any individual is aware of that they simply actually prefer it and it truly will likely be simpler to only not have it in any respect and simply reserve it for the, you realize, one or two little particular outings per week.
And however some individuals will try this with with particular meals as properly. Like they know that though they may eat 200 energy of ice cream after dinner as their little deal with. It’s not, I imply, I’m, I don’t discover 200 energy of ice cream satisfying. So I simply, I wouldn’t hassle with that as a result of I’m going to need to eat a minimum of half of the pint simply to be happy.
So if I solely wish to give 200 energy to a, to, to some form of deal with, it’s not going to be ice cream. And so that is simply an instance for individuals listening of as you undergo this course of, you you study. You study among the, there are some issues that aren’t negotiable, vitality stability and mapping concern about a few of these issues, then numerous issues are negotiable, and then you definately study for you what particularly works for you.
And it is a good instance the place some individuals, they may be completely fumbling, simply protecting it at one glass of wine, perhaps they, perhaps they’re going to complete it. No worries. And different individuals, they simply know, nah. Uh, that is in all probability not going to work properly for me. It’s higher for me to only minimize it out and reducing it out altogether would possibly sound too troublesome for the opposite individual.
So there’s at all times a little bit of trial and error, simply on a person, you realize, case by case foundation, the identical factor goes for cheat meals or deal with meals. Some individuals, that’s one thing that I do not forget that myself after I first was studying about vitality stability and avenue stability and seeing it working. And I can’t imagine the primary time I additionally, I do not forget that.
There was like a powerlifter bodybuilder man who was explaining, he launched me to those ideas a few years in the past, after which I began to examine them in science literature and elsewhere, however I bear in mind texting him. His identify was Steven, uh, as a result of my spouse wished to go get sushi and I hadn’t had a quote unquote cheat meal.
I’d in all probability been reducing for six or 7 weeks at that time. And I’m texting you, I’m like, is it, is that this, is it okay if I’m going get sushi? I’m like, yeah, I don’t, I don’t actually wish to, like, I’m on a very good roll right here. And what if I simply order a few rolls? And so, you realize, he was laughing, Mike, simply, simply go take pleasure in your self.
Don’t fear about it. So I perceive that. And so with GBL, typically individuals, they like to only decrease all of them collectively. As a result of for instance, in the event that they go to a restaurant, they actually like. And to essentially take pleasure in themselves. Possibly meaning appetizer, entree, dessert, and also you’re at a couple of thousand energy now, and so they would possibly simply somewhat skip it.
In order you, as you might be. The truth that you’ve labored these items out for you, what’s nice is, um, I feel as you’re seeing, you’re placing collectively a, have a personalised way of life, one thing that isn’t only a 30 or 90 day crash you can simply drive your self via or a problem of some type, but it surely sounds such as you’re match.
You’re figuring out one thing you can comply with. Indefinitely, not, not that that you must minimize indefinitely, however you now perceive what that you must do to lose fats or to take care of your physique composition. And you may simply assist work inside.
Dan: Um, yeah, it completely has been a way of life change and an eye fixed opener on each the weight loss program facet of it and the burden coaching facet of it.
I discovered numerous useful data that I didn’t know earlier than. And Now it’s rather more of a only a behavior. I don’t have to trace my macros day by day. I did initially, and now I’ve a typically good thought. After which after I went from the minimize stage to the majority stage after my program ended, that was my subsequent want.
I did begin monitoring rather more intently as a result of now I had a brand new each day. Objective to satisfy and it’s that’s that’s far more durable for me to comply with the majority stage than the cuts. The minimize stage for me is straightforward. I can skip meals and never have a difficulty with it, but it surely’s hitting that bulk calorie purpose day by day. That’s actually difficult for me, however that’s why I observe the metrics and it makes it quite a bit simpler to do.
Mike: And that’s a very good tip is monitoring or planning when you find yourself making a big change to your weight loss program. In order you’ve skilled, if you’d like it to only preserve, you in all probability perceive meals parts. Now you perceive roughly what a correct quantity of the meals that you simply’d prefer to eat, what that appears like, and you may simply try this.
However if you wish to go from, let’s say reducing to sustaining, otherwise you wish to go from sustaining to reducing or sustaining, each of your reducing to bulking, it’s sensible to trace or plan. It’s for a interval simply to recalibrate your, um, understanding of what in a correct quantity of meals appears to be like like over the course of the day and even in every meal.
Like what, what’s your dinner speculated to seem like? After which when you get it dialed in as skilled, you may simply eyeball it in and be shut sufficient. Though some individuals, they prefer to proceed monitoring and approach measuring, which I feel is okay. Um, I’m glad you stated that although, simply because the final couple of interviews the place individuals have moved, they simply selected to proceed, um, weighing and measuring every little thing.
And I, I commented in these interviews simply so individuals perceive that you simply don’t have to do this. You’ll be able to’t wish to, however there’s a level the place you’ll develop into acquainted sufficient together with your meal plan you can, you are able to do it by really feel, however then whenever you make that change, um, it’s sensible, particularly when it’s going to be troublesome.
And I perceive I haven’t, I haven’t. Dedicated to an prolonged meatball in a very long time, however I’m comparable in that it’s sort of enjoyable for the primary week or two, uh, perhaps three. And, after which it’s the, the disgust part, uh, the place I’m simply drive feeding myself mainly, and I’m at all times full and I’ve nice exercises.
I imply, that’s cool. I don’t know for those who’re experiencing that but, in order that’s good. Uh, however all of the, all of the consuming just isn’t so good when you don’t have any urge for food and also you’re I’m like at a ten out of 10 of fullness and I nonetheless need to eat 1500 energy in the present day.
Dan: Yeah, yeah, it’s very difficult. And I resort to numerous protein bars, protein shakes, cashews, peanuts, nuts like that.
Something that I can form of digest, but it surely’s been, I’ve by no means tried it. Lower part after which a lean bulk part. I assumed that was one thing that bodybuilders did earlier than present and it’s not it’s one thing that everyone can do and you may, it mixes up your, your weight loss program schedule and likewise your exercise schedule and also you see totally different outcomes.
So that is the primary time I ever actually finished a lean bulk exercise program and it was very Enjoyable at first, for positive, simply to strive one thing new and now I’m attempting to remain on that very same observe.
Mike: In case you like what I’m doing right here on the podcast and need 125 of my favourite fast, simple, and scrumptious health pleasant recipes, you wish to get a replica of my versatile weight-reduction plan cookbook, The Shredded.

Let’s, uh, let’s speak about your coaching. Let’s first, let’s discuss concerning the minimize part and I’d love to listen to about, um, thus far, the way it’s stepping into your, in your weed bulking. Um, so when over this. Three month interval, proper? We misplaced about 20 and then you definately have been in a position to acquire again some muscle and power. Clearly that you simply had the profit.
You talked about it being a bit detrained. So that you had that detraining impact, which is sort of much like like beginner good points for any individual who’s new to weightlifting. Your physique’s very responsive. However what was your coaching schedule like over that three month interval?
Dan: So I did 4 days of weight coaching, at some point of yoga after which at some point of biking.
And yeah, I did that as a result of I didn’t wish to chunk off greater than I can chew. On reflection, I might have simply finished 5 days of weight coaching. To me, that’s probably the most gratifying a part of this system. Yoga is, is sweet and biking is sweet, however the weight coaching was very manageable. So I had 4 days of that.
And, um, the exercises have been 55, 57 minutes. They weren’t grueling in any respect. I wasn’t knocked out after the exercise. I might nonetheless return to work and I didn’t dread going to the fitness center. It was truly one thing I look ahead to as a result of the best way that this system is designed, you do heavyweight for 4 to 6 reps.
After which you may have three minute breaks in between units. I had by no means finished a exercise program that approach. It was at all times, you bought to do 15 reps at first, and then you definately work your approach as much as wait and you’re taking faster breaks. So I timed my breaks.
Mike: Was that bizarre? Did you’re feeling such as you have been simply sitting round quite a bit and be like, is that this, is that this going to work? I’m sitting round greater than I’m figuring out.
Dan: Three minutes is quite a bit to only sit on the bench. And I strive to not get on my cellphone and browse electronic mail. I.
Mike: Yeah, I do know, as a result of then you definately get into the e-mail after which now it’s a 5 minute break after which I perceive that.
Dan: And your head goes off within the unsuitable spot. So I’ve a special timer that I might use, however I had the cellphone as a result of the app that I wanted was a part of my cellphone.
Um, so I did have the cellphone there, however the three minutes I caught to it. After which what I did discover was when it was time to do my set, I used to be hyper centered. In a approach that I’ve by no means been earlier than and I stated, okay, I’ve 4 or six reps to do right here and I might simply I might minimize out every little thing I had on these 4 to 6 reps.
Whereas after I was taking a minute and a minute half break, it was simply you weren’t as centered. In order that break not solely permits your physique to push extra weight, pull extra weight, but it surely permits you additionally your thoughts to be extra centered when it’s time to rise up and do it. Do a set.
Mike: Yeah, yeah. Correct correct relaxation occasions between units could be a actual recreation changer.
Sure. In case you’re going from, let’s say, a warfare circuit coaching sort of model that there’s nothing unsuitable with that. It’s, it’s in all probability higher known as train than coaching as a result of coaching implies a methodical sort of systematic strategy, uh, with with, um, clear system of progress. Whereas when, whenever you shorten these relaxation durations sufficient, you’re, you’re going to maneuver quite a bit and also you’re going to sweat, however.
Yeah. You’re not going to realize a lot muscle muscle and power over time coaching like that, simply due to the physiology of clay, you truly have to take sufficient time. So that you can provide sufficient effort in these exhausting units, and you may push golf equipment to failure and recruit numerous, you realize, muscle and produce massive quantities of rigidity.
And in order that’s simply, I feel. A type of that’s in all probability if I take into consideration if I feel within the fitness center and people who find themselves newer and simply attempting to determine these things out, I might say that’s a fairly frequent mistake just isn’t taking sufficient relaxation just one minute after which attempting to do even units of six or eight after which they’re having to strip weight off the bar and by the point they get to their ultimate set, they could have half of the burden on the bar or on the machine that they began with.
After which additionally, I don’t know if this was was it was this manner for you, however one other yeah. Eureka second that many individuals expertise on the prepare facet. Issues is. What a fart set is like set depth, pushing near failure in these units. And for those who push near failure and understanding how exhausting that truly is, that you simply don’t have to do as many units.
You don’t have to do a two hour exercise. In case you’re actually coaching exhausting sufficient, you truly can get. The identical outcomes, even higher outcomes with a one hour work out. As long as you might be coaching near failure, you’re actually pushing on these units.
Dan: Yeah. I by no means knew that. I by no means knew the half concerning the breaks or the necessity to actually push to failure.
I might simply sort of undergo the movement, even in numerous the packages that have been properly regarded that I had finished. And I’ve been doing this for a very long time and I by no means realized how useful these three minute breaks have been. And nor did I. A variety of this program relies in your one rep max, and that’s, you need to work out what that’s, and then you definately begin off with some heat up units at 50 % and also you enhance.
I by no means actually measured my one rep max earlier than. I might simply put up weight on the bars and do it till I felt like I had gotten a burn, after which I might set the bar down. However now I had some form of construction by way of every set, and it allowed for the Progressive development and the flexibility so as to add extra weight and extra reps.
And that’s as a result of I used to be truly being attentive to my one rep max, which is a crucial a part of this system.
Mike: Yep. Yeah. And for individuals listening, um, you need to use a calculator for that. You don’t have to truly check your one or, um, I imply, you may’t, if it’s A part of a program and if it’s acceptable, however, uh, I, I don’t do it anymore simply because there’s a, there’s a level the place there’s, there’s somewhat, a minimum of somewhat little bit of danger related to going via a real one RM on it or on a squat.
I don’t assume it’s price it. You’ll be able to simply use calculator. There’s one [email protected]. The those who’s, you want the instruments. There’s a WM you may put in your efficiency on a given train. Wait, let’s say what, what’s, what are you able to do for 5 reps or so? And it’ll be fairly correct in most individuals.
So simply, just a bit asterisk there.
Dan: Yeah, that’s what I did. I did use the calculator. I didn’t attempt to check my very own max. I work out often on my own, so I wasn’t going to strive a bench press, however I additionally know simply from my historical past of figuring out roughly what my max is on it, you realize, on the, on the foremost lifts and I had a good suggestion, however I did use the calculator to make these changes.
Mike: Yep. Is sensible. And so throughout this reducing interval, you have been doing, um, for weightlifting. Exercises per week, a yoga exercise, a biking exercise. I simply wish to wish to level for, for individuals listening that you simply weren’t doing very a lot get together, which once more, some individuals are stunned to study you can, you may lose.
Uh, I imply, you misplaced fats, not, not muscle. You’ll be able to’t acquire power and acquire muscle definition. And I’m, I’m assuming you may discover some muscle dimension and lose muscle on the identical time. Proper? So that you misplaced 20 kilos of. I imply, there’s, you would say, okay, properly, a few of it was in all probability, you’re dropping some intramuscular fluid.
Positive. However the majority of that weight that was misplaced was fats. And that was with minimal cardio, one cardio exercise per week.
Dan: That’s proper. Yeah. And that was a shock to me as properly. And it was a 20 or 25 minute bike trip round my neighborhood, which was an gratifying a part of this system. And that was, that was it for cardio.
And like most individuals I’d somewhat weight prepare after which do cardio. And that was one of many causes that this program. me to start with after I learn muscle for all times was that specific a part of this system?
Mike: Uh, yeah, I I perceive. I imply I I get on this a couple of days per week again right here and see i’m doing 4 days per week proper now And I don’t thoughts it as a result of I can simply multitask as a result of it’s, I’m not writing round.
So if I’ve to make a name, whether or not it’s a piece name or a private name, proper, I can do it on the bike as a result of it’s going to be in all probability a 5 – 6 out of 10 depth, um, or I’ll learn them or I’ll do one thing. However I prefer to take time. Uh, so, uh, cardio is nice for, for well being. It’s nice for cardiovascular well being. It’s nice for longevity. There are good causes to do it. Um, however it’s extremely overrated as a fats loss exercise. It could actually assist by rising vitality expenditure. However it isn’t essential to lose numerous fats, and it’s not going to assist as a lot as we’d hoped.
However whenever you take a look at what number of energy are in a chocolate chip cookie, and then you definately take a look at how lengthy you’d need to go run outdoors to burn simply the energy within the cookie, you understand that, oh, it’s, It has restricted util.
Dan: Sure. Yeah. That’s one of many issues that I’ve seen firsthand from being on this program.
And, uh, one of many modifications that, that I made with my coach was I play ice hockey in a males’s league and I might simply substitute that out for the biking. If it given, you realize, what day of the week I had a hockey recreation on, and that’s clearly a extra gratifying cardio, uh, exercise than, than using, using a motorbike and intense.
And it was a. That was my one cardio exercise of the week goes out and taking part in ice hockey.
Mike: That’s nice. And, uh, the yoga was included, uh, for individuals questioning why, why the yoga, simply one thing you take pleasure in, or is it, is it for flexibility?
Dan: We did it for flexibility and I hadn’t had numerous yoga expertise.
I’d finished some, however by no means any formal coaching. And the preliminary yoga program that was advised for me was too troublesome. I couldn’t do it. I couldn’t. Stretched a sure approach that that the professional and so we made a modification and I used to be given a way more primary yoga program to comply with, which I actually loved. I did get some aid out of it and a few flexibility enhance out of it.
Um, I’d somewhat be weightlifting, but it surely was a pleasant break from that schedule.
Mike: Is that one thing that you’ve maintained now that you simply’re authorized?
Dan: I’ve not. I’m doing Yeah, I’m not doing that anymore except it’s simply if I’m at a resort on a piece journey or another cause and I want one thing to do. I’ll work in a yoga session, however now I’m doing extra weight coaching.
Mike: Um, whenever you have been reducing, did you need to make any modifications to your coaching program? Uh, have been there any obstacles that That you simply needed to overcome that wire, sort of a few of these individualization sort issues, or was it fairly clean and simple, simply copy ebook all through?
Dan: No, I had a few obstacles.
One of many obstacles I had is I did have a few work journeys and a trip, um, in the midst of this program and I might do my finest to discover a resort with a fitness center, but it surely didn’t at all times have the gear that was wanted. So I might let my coach know forward of time. I’m going to be out of the city for these 3 days.
There’s not going to be a leg press or a squat rack at my resort fitness center and we’d make modifications only for that quick time period break. So I might a minimum of do one thing to comply with the schedule. After which one other impediment that I had is I’ve some program. Arthritis in my proper hip, in all probability from taking part in hockey and taking hits over my life.
And there have been sure actions or units that I simply couldn’t do the squats, the deadlifts. We might simply make modifications to these. And that might, that might clear up the issue. More often than not.
Mike: Out of curiosity, what are a few of these, like, what are among the substitution workout routines which have labored properly for you?
Only for anyone else, you may be having some options.
Dan: Yeah. So I bought one of many security squat bars as an alternative of the standard squat bar with the pad on it. I bought a security squat bar. It makes it quite a bit simpler to do the squats.
Mike: That’s an amazing, I want extra gyms had security bars. My fitness center does, however in my expertise, most gyms don’t.
Dan: Okay, yeah, after which the opposite was the Romanian deadlift was advised instead as an alternative of the standard deadlift. I suppose simply, you don’t need to go all the best way down, uh, as far, and, and that was an enormous, after which there have been some minor tweaks to the, my foot placement on the leg press. Uh, if I simply tweaked my ft declaring somewhat bit extra, it could assist relieve the stress on my hip throughout that train.
Mike: Is sensible additionally for, for individuals listening, you may sort of Jerry reg a security bar with, um, an everyday bar and straps, like simply lifting straps. So anyone, if you wish to strive it out and yow will discover movies on-line, I simply stated, it’s fairly easy, but it surely’s a correct security bar. Works somewhat bit higher, however you may, you will get a minimum of midway there by way of the sector with a standard barbell and, and straps as properly.
Yeah, that is smart. So now together with your lean bulking, it sounds such as you’ve added, uh, a day of weightlifting, so that you’re doing fives.
Dan: Sure. 5 days and I’m nonetheless taking part in hockey. So if I’m not, if I’ve every week off from hockey, I’ll try to get out on the bike and do a loop or so within the, within the neighborhood, however 5 days of power coaching.
Mike: And the way lengthy have you ever been lead bulking for Dan?
Dan: About three weeks.
Mike: Okay. So what have you ever observed? Have you ever observed something but by way of exercise efficiency or, um, extra, extra vitality?
Dan: Yeah, I’ve undoubtedly observed extra vitality within the fitness center. I feel the exercises are somewhat extra intense now. I don’t know if that’s psychological as a result of I used to be anticipating that to be one of many advantages from the lean bulking.
That’s actually it. Up to now I’ve gained a few kilos and I’m attempting to keep watch over my physique fats to guarantee that the proportion of physique fats going up. is 50 % or so lower than the whole total weight that I’m gaining. I’ve at all times had a difficulty gaining weight, a minimum of wholesome weight. Um, so it’s it’s a problem for me to keep watch over these metrics.
So it simply doesn’t all come out as physique fats enhance.
Mike: Yep. And that’s, that’s simply, um, it’s only a matter of, of being conscientious together with your energy, actually, as you realize, there’s truly, there’s some analysis that, that Legion helped fund that’s, um, it’s wrapped up and I imagine it’s in peer evaluation now, uh, on lead bulking.
And one of many key takeaways is that it could seem that. Uh, a ten % calorie surplus or bigger doesn’t produce extra muscle acquire than a 5 % calorie surplus. Now, what’s tough about 5 % calorie surplus is it may be troublesome to take care of that as a result of there’s simply only a small margin for error.
You actually do need to. Fairly correct together with your consumption, as a result of for those who’re not that 5%, it might truly be upkeep calorie pace and be a slight deficit since you simply didn’t understand that you simply didn’t get these further 200 energy and also you’re speculated to get, or it may be a ten%. However the takeaway there’s, let’s simply say being someplace round 5 % on common over your each day vitality expenditure.
He’s in all probability the candy spot for most individuals. Um, it’s potential that within the skilled weightlifters who’re coaching very exhausting, who’re educated. Most likely, uh, someplace near their most recoverable capability, they could have the ability to acquire some extra muscle with a bigger surplus, let’s say a ten%. However it appears with the info popping out of this examine that for many of us, 5 % or so is simply going to be the, the usual sort of lean cumbersome surplus.
And so it’s, it’s that, and it’s simply staying affected person, actually.
Dan: Yeah. Yeah. And I, I imagine I learn an article out of your web site on the science of lean bulking. I’m undecided if it’s that article that you simply’re referring to, however earlier than I began this program, I did pull that article out of your web site and it gave.
Gave me an amazing overview of what to anticipate and the best way to get there. And it was a really useful article.
Mike: Yeah. Yeah. So this analysis is, um, it’s coming after I wrote that article, but it surely’s actually in alignment with that article as a result of that was, that’s been my place for a while now, simply primarily based on different analysis, however, um, there’s simply extra analysis coming.
That’s, I might say, top quality information particularly on this level, whereas beforehand there have been research that we might make extrapolations from, uh, however weren’t essentially set as much as reply that particular query. So it doesn’t doesn’t change something that’s within the article, but it surely’s, uh, it’s simply, it’s good affirmation.
That does actually appear to be the way it works. And, uh, as for the extra vitality and exercise efficiency in my expertise, that is, um, that is one thing that many individuals appear to expertise and I truly don’t. I’ve seemed into the literature to discover a good clarification for it. And it’s, it’s in all probability quite a few issues.
I couldn’t level to love one or two or three research stated, Hey, this type of explains it, but it surely does appear to take a couple of weeks, often it’s like two or three weeks of a constant surplus to essentially begin to discover the. Extra, um, power, the extra vitality and the extra restoration capability, uh, when, whenever you begin lean bulking, uh, which is sort of attention-grabbing, however then whenever you appears like you might be beginning to discover it, it’s undoubtedly, undoubtedly not in your head.
There’s a, it’s a physiological mechanism for positive. And for individuals who haven’t leaned bulk but, it may be fairly shocking for those who’re simply used to sustaining, particularly for those who’re used to only staying lean and sustaining, which signifies that you’re used to persistently below consuming somewhat than overeating.
As a result of that’s actually what it takes. In case you simply wish to keep lean, it could possibly be fairly shocking for individuals who do it for the primary time, decide to that surplus after which there are months in and so they’ve already added, you realize. 10 % to all of their massive lifts and their exercises now are feeling just like the, the, how they understand the trouble goes approach down.
So what was beforehand a tough exercise is like sort of simple exercise now. And so, That’s a minimum of the payoff for all of the drive feeding that you need to do.
Dan: Nicely, that’s good to know as a result of I stated I’m three weeks in, so it appears like I’m getting very near realizing these advantages somewhat extra totally than I’ve.
Mike: Yeah. And then you definately simply bought to commit, you bought to commit, I might say to minimally in all probability three months and, and actually ideally you run it so long as you’re billing to run it, uh, as a result of you will acquire. Muscle and power quicker when, whenever you’re in that slight surplus. So there’s a level the place ultimately perhaps you’re simply sick of consuming, perhaps your physique fats Um, is suitable.
Possibly even after six months, you’re like, yeah, you realize, I’ve gained some physique fats, however I’ve gained a good quantity of muscle and power. I like this, however you simply begin sick and be consuming. That was what it was for me final time. I simply, I simply tapped out as a result of I couldn’t do the second dinner anymore. Simply, uh, that was, it was simply an excessive amount of.
Um, however ideally, ideally you would get to a minimum of three months and. Most likely nearer to for those who, for those who can go someplace three upward of even six months, I’d say that’s a really, uh, that’s a, particularly you see it nearer to 6, that’s a really productive lean bulking part.
Dan: Good. Yeah, that’s, that’s good to know.
I wasn’t actually positive how lengthy I used to be going to be into this explicit part, however that’s good to know.
Mike: And on the coaching facet of issues, um, have you ever made any changes by way of how a lot you’re coaching quantity or train modifications of any type? Or are you roughly following the identical program?
You’re simply going to carry out higher now on, you realize, the identical exercises.
Dan: I’m performing roughly the identical program as I used to be earlier than. I I’m following the, the one yr muscle for all times ebook that you simply put out. And what I did is I began off in part two of that program. So the workout routines are barely totally different in some respects, roughly, it’s nonetheless 4 to 6 units.
With three minute breaks, however there’s barely totally different workout routines. After which throughout my one on one program, I did make sure tweaks to sure X. Trigger there’s some workout routines like everyone that I simply actually take pleasure in doing greater than others. Like I like doing the decline bench press and that wasn’t. In there, however they put it in there for me as a result of that drives me to the fitness center.
Similar with cable crossovers. And so there’s sure workout routines that I did take pleasure in that with steerage, I substituted in, so I nonetheless comply with these substitutions on the brand new program. And I, even in the course of the first part, there have been days the place I had somewhat further vitality. And I might add in an train with the coach’s approval, as a result of typically it’s counterproductive to do this.
However some days I simply felt like I wished to place in somewhat extra and simply put in, add an train in.
Mike: These are nice ideas, together with workout routines that you simply take pleasure in, even when there, there may be, let’s say a barely extra optimum train within the case of the decline bench press, not a nasty train. Um, there are, there are perhaps you would perhaps make, if you wish to quibble, you would make an argument that any shopper bench press is perhaps somewhat bit extra productive in sure methods.
It actually doesn’t have the decline bench press is an efficient train. Um, so far as. What I might simply typically advocate, um, typically advocate extra flat benching, flat urgent or incline urgent. However for those who actually just like the decline bench press, that’s a cause to do it. And the identical factor with a cable crossover or another train, as long as there are some exceptions like a behind the web press, I might typically not advocate.
Simply because it places your shoulders in a compromised place, you’re not going to have the ability to elevate a lot weight, uncomfortable for most individuals. So there are some exceptions, however the rule is for those who like workout routines, sure workout routines, and for those who look ahead to doing put them in your program, as a result of then that comes again to the consistency and the adherence that we mentioned earlier within the podcast.
And it sounds sort of foolish, however the actuality is. Having that exercise, that, that chest exercise arrange the best way that you simply prefer it, that may be the distinction on some days of going to the fitness center and doing it and never, after which for those who apply that to each different exercise, and then you definately stretch that over the course of months and years, you may obtain outcomes.
Thanks. Significantly higher outcomes with the exercises that you simply like.
Dan: Yeah, that is smart. And I’ve at all times favored the decline bench press and I work it at the side of the incline I’ll both do incline press or incline dumbbell press, after which there’s at all times a flat bench part to it, however the.
Decline for me has at all times been the train the place I can press probably the most weight and it’s apparent why that might be, however so I might at all times, I’ve at all times loved that, that train, however we did it sparsely and with the assistance and steerage of my, my coach.
Mike: After which, and then you definately additionally talked about doing somewhat bit extra whenever you really feel as much as it.
And, and that’s additionally simply, I feel, good common recommendation as a result of, um, it takes, it takes quite a bit to get near something that. Actually be known as over coaching much more than most individuals listening in all probability have ever finished. I imply, like many hours of weightlifting per week, massive calorie deficit, many hours of intense cardio persistently for months.
Um, and a few individuals they try this, however, however most individuals don’t. And so within the context of our dialog. I feel it’s, it’s completely acceptable whenever you really feel as much as it and you’re feeling the vitality and also you’re simply into the exercise and also you wish to do, uh, an additional set or two or three, even now, for those who have been doing that, I imply, once more, for those who, for those who let that get uncontrolled, it might not be to overtraining, however it could result in extreme soreness that’s sort of annoying and to truly get the hip issues, or, um, perhaps.
Yeah. You understand, somewhat little bit of extra put on and tear on joints, particularly for those who’re sort of drained and your kind now isn’t nice, you’re sort of fatigued, however you wish to do it anyway, I might say these are Thanks. Extra exceptions somewhat than the rule. Usually, for those who’re coming to the tip of a exercise, you’re feeling good, your job to somewhat bit extra and do some bit extra, if that occurs pretty usually, that may be barely higher outcomes.
And even when it didn’t imply barely higher outcomes, for those who had extra enjoyable within the exercise due to it. That may be a, that truly is a optimistic. In order that’s, that’s going to assist persist with this system and that’s going to assist simply the optimistic affiliation of, I like going to the fitness center. I like doing my exercises.
Dan: Yeah, I feel that’s a good way of placing it up to now. I by no means had added units to prescribed exercises earlier than, however as a result of I used to be getting outcomes and I used to be having fun with the exercise and so they have been manageable, they weren’t grueling, I felt prefer it was, I used to be empowered so as to add a further. Set in every so often, um, not regularly, however simply on these sure days.
Mike: Make sense.
Um, you had talked about earlier within the interview that on the coaching facet of stuff you had discovered some key rules and you’ve got discovered some essential data that main coaching simpler that you simply didn’t know. Beforehand, we could have already coated that, however I simply wished to return again to it in case there was something that we didn’t cowl that.
That basically clarified issues for you or, or be a distinction in the way you went about coaching.
Dan: A variety of it we’ve coated it’s strict. It’s sticking to this system of restricted reps, longer breaks and restricted units and never. Overdoing it and sticking to that one rep most. If I have been to do it over once more, there’s a few issues that I might do in a different way, not essentially.
Mike: Which was truly to be considered one of my questions.
So thanks.
Dan: It was sort of getting there. I might, I might have finished a full physique composition professionally performed. Uh, check. Um, and so they have one. I’ve observed like a block from the place my workplace is. So it could have been quite simple to do. I began off as a result of I didn’t understand how this program was going to finish up.
I had began it off, didn’t know what the outcomes have been going to be like. I didn’t understand how a lot I would love it. So I didn’t actually get a very good measurement of my physique composition and even simply measuring my, you realize, physique. And I might have additionally Taken higher pre program pictures.
Mike: That’s why, that’s why a number of occasions I attempt to encourage individuals, like simply take the photographs, simply, even when it’s only for you and perhaps, perhaps, perhaps you’ll simply delete them and that’s positive.
Dan: It was exhausting to do. And now wanting again, I want I had higher ones to match. Um, however on the, once more, on the time I didn’t know that I might ever even need to look again at them. I wasn’t positive how this system was going to end up for me. After which three, 4 weeks in, it was time to undergo my coach progress pictures.
And rapidly I began seeing outcomes, however I didn’t have nice unique pictures. So I might, if anyone’s beginning this system, these are two issues that I might, I might counsel, properly, perhaps not the. The physique composition, however I might have gotten a greater scale initially as a result of I had a, simply an Amazon low cost scale and I don’t understand how correct it’s.
After which I used one at my fitness center, the in physique measurement scales, and I bought all this unimaginable suggestions and I, you should buy like a house model for lots much less cash and I purchased a type of and it gave me quite a bit. Higher information, I feel so. I in all probability ought to have began with that and it could have allowed me to chart my progress on the physique fats somewhat nearer as a result of that was in the end my one purpose.
My major purpose was to scale back my physique fats. All else being equal. That was what I wished to do at the start, and I used to be in a position to do this.
Mike: Yeah, I do perceive. It’s enjoyable to sort of memorialize it with, uh, with some some exhausting numbers and within the behavior photos. However after all, you have been in a position to see pretty I’m positive it appears like within the first month you’re wanting within the mirror and also you’re like, Oh yeah, that is this.
And I’m positive your girlfriend was like, Hey, that is, that is occurring and also you’re noticing in your garments too. And, uh, then you definately get to that second, which I’m, I’m positive you skilled. I bear in mind when everyone goes via this appears to have that second the place it clicks, the place they understand, Oh, that is all I’ve to do.
I simply need to maintain doing this. After which I get to my purpose. That’s it.
Dan: Sure, it was quite simple. And I did discover outcomes over the primary month or so. And even I observed definition in my abs like I’ve by no means observed earlier than. And it wasn’t as if I used to be spending half-hour doing core workout routines as a part of this program.
It was I used to be doing devoted Ab exercises or workout routines twice per week, one train per day, and it wasn’t grueling and that’s all it took that. After all, the weight loss program was an enormous a part of that, but it surely wasn’t half-hour of killer core workout routines, and I bought higher outcomes on my core than I ever have earlier than doing these different packages.
Mike: Yeah, I imply, simply doing the tougher workout routines, the squat, whether or not it’s a security bar squat, any sort of squat, simply doing any sort of hip hinge, doing any sort of overhead press, closely interact the core muscle tissue, so even that plus weight loss program is usually sufficient. Now, in some instances, in all probability extra with males than ladies.
We wish extra outlined abs particularly is often just like the rectus abdominus muscle tissue in some guys after they lose the physique fats, these these muscle tissue are fairly massive and distinguished and that’s simply the best way it’s. And in some instances, although, they are often much less outlined, by which case. Doing a little direct ab coaching, uh, might help deliver these muscle tissue up quicker.
And so it’s, it’s, um, by no means, by no means a state to incorporate direct ab coaching, however as you’ve skilled, the bottom line is the weight loss program and the bottom line is actually every little thing else that you simply have been doing. It’s you simply to get the apps, proper? It’s like, we bought to do away with the fats and then you definately’re already in all probability 80 % there.
Possibly you, you need your abs to be somewhat bit extra once more, developed. Such as you need these muscle tissue to assume out somewhat bit extra and somewhat bit extra substantial and. You can simply maintain doing the compound workout routines and possibly would get there, however you’ll get there quicker with the out coaching. So I feel that’s, that’s the most effective cause to incorporate direct coaching.
Dan: Yeah, and it was gratifying doing it as properly. And whenever you see the outcomes, you’re simply going to maintain doing what you’re doing for those who’re getting outcomes. Completely.
Mike: Nicely, that was, that was the entire questions I wished to ask you. Is there something that I haven’t requested you earlier than we wrap up that I ought to have requested you or the rest that you simply’d prefer to share earlier than we end?
Dan: I suppose the very last thing I might say can be, it is a program that Struck me as intriguing as a result of I’m a, I’m a really busy individual. I’ve, I’m a lawyer, I’ve my very own legislation apply. So I handle my agency in addition to apply instances. And I’ve had different commitments in my life in addition to everyone does. And it’s one of many few packages the place it slot in properly with my way of life.
I might dedicate an hour simply 4 days every week to weight coaching. 20, half-hour for yoga. In order that was my concern going into any program actually is whether or not I’m going to have the ability to persist with this system given my work schedule and my different schedules. And I want a schedule. I want some form of schedule. Uh, for exercises to ensure that me to satisfy my targets and get to the fitness center.
If I’m simply sort of winging it by myself, I’m simply by no means going to get there due to my, my different schedule. In order that’s what actually did it for me is that it was a set schedule. I might comply with it to the T it was solely an hour. It wasn’t grueling. I might get on with my life when it was over. And that’s, I feel why this program labored for me higher than different packages have.
Mike: Yeah. Yeah. That’s nice. And I, I perceive it’s the identical, identical for me. I imply, I I’m simply, I’m simply sustaining at this level, however, um, I nonetheless, I nonetheless respect every little thing you’ve that you simply’ve skilled and also you’ve laid out. So I feel it’s nice. It’s nice to see different individuals determine it out as a result of now you are able to do it for the remainder of your life.
The way in which that you simply’re doing it, you actually don’t need to. Make any main modifications, issues will get higher. After which there’s some extent the place progress will likely be simply with the ability to proceed doing what you’re doing since you get to a degree, you acquire a lot muscle, you acquire a lot power, and also you’re not going to do this ceaselessly indefinitely, simply greater and stronger.
Uh, however then the win is you would be 60 years outdated and also you’re nonetheless coaching. Roughly the identical approach that you simply’re coaching now, perhaps with slight modifications, however that alone, I feel is, is nearly a type of progress. And so I feel it’s, I feel it’s cool. And it’s cool to see all of it come collectively, you realize?
Dan: Sure, it’s. And therefore the identify muscle for all times. It’s very suiting.
Mike: Precisely. That was intentional. Nicely, um. This was, it is a nice dialogue, Dan, I, once more, I actually respect you taking the trip of your busy schedule to, to speak with me and, uh, sustain the great work.
