    GROWTH MINDSET

    Embracing the HARD

    Facing resistance, its normal

    Main specific i think theres something wrong with my body

    evidence in the past

    Self belief

    PERCEIVED IDENTITY

    SELF BELIEFS

    Challenge

    You will never have evidence in the past for something you want to create (thats new)

    Intrinsic motivation

    Its hard to care about our aging self etc

    Its easy to be motivated by the now

    “I can never follow through with anything”

    “People who have a heap of things on their list

    Re-framing the way we think

    tangible things you can do to create these shifts and discipline vs. skill development.

    Learn to like it

    Right now we may not -

    Mind management

    YOU CANT JUST GET THESE TOOOLS you need to to

    Alot of people find this hard with a new way of eating

    And then continuing it on

    Same with waking up and showing up to the gym and keeping consistency

    Because yeah cool we can start a habit do it for a while and then fall off

    Cognitive awareness & flexibilityPOWER OF ACCOUNTABILITY

    how and why to embrace failure.

    how our mindset on behavior is often black and white, how to change the way we view this, and how behavior change actually works.

    procrastination / self-talk that stops the acting part

    Snakes and ladders

    RELATEDNESS

    I love how you said that so excited - people don't

    People don't understand what they need

    And tune into their feelings

    What they want to feel or run away from

    #323; Iris Deadlifts - the answers to what you want with your physique, takes THIS!!!

    #323; Iris Deadlifts - the answers to what you want with your physique, takes THIS!!!

    @irisdeadlifts

    @transformxruby





    if you want to look toned outside the gym you have to look jacked inside the gym, and that’s more muscle than people think





    Body change

    Numbers on the scales

    Thinking we will be happy when

    Take the OUTCOME off the pedestal

    The process is where it happens





    People think all the answers are in getting lean

    What it takes to get toned





    What the body takes





    People





    We arent anti fatloss

    But right context

    Right mindset

    Do the work before it so you make it easier

    So you can get in and not struggle so much and see better results

    Have a better









    people think dieting is always the answer to what they are feeling or struggling with

    When thats all they did they usually come to us









    Fuel for fatloss

    Don't starve it









    When life is crazy, we take the toll on our bodies

    When we feel out of control of life we take the toll on our bodys





    Reactive living





    that they will only get bulky if they do anything else or they are afraid MOSTLY for clothes to get tigher, pants to get tighter





    progress is only about getting leaner - they havent expandded their meaning of that nor phsyqiue















    they dont realise toned bodies have way more muscle

    that as you get older its even more important

    and that theres more to all of this than chasing fatloss













    beyond all its damn fucking patience





    People thinking bodies don't jiggle

    Lifestyle bodies vs what we think we should be looking like

    What the lean hard tight body requires

    Your body isnt a passport photo either





    6 months building









    I've been doing this for a year and it's like I know that feels like it's a long time but really and I look back at pictures of myself after like a year and I I don't look like I'm really in shape at all you know so it's like it just takes a long time like years upon years of going through this and it doesn't mean that nothing is happening along the way it's just it's it's slow



    You don't need to look at the photos you take. Its data. Stop over analyzing

    Take the photos, store them, leave them

    Then compare year after year and see it in a zoomed out perspective



    The aging body and still comparing yourself to your 30s

    Building from a more empty canvas, its a different dragon to fight -
    #

    You cant keep trying to lose the last couple kgs or get to the lean without going through the other phases

    The end physique needs to be built

    If this is you, my biggest tips to help this period:

    1- Focus on performance metrics

    2- Accept bodyfat is part of the process

    3- Understand scale weight is only data and not reflective of you are a person

    4- Constantly check in with yourself, remember you’re more than the scale or photo

    5- To build a dream physique, accept being uncomfortable

    6- Journal your thoughts to prevent negative self-talk and challenge irrational thoughts of self.

    Doing hard things…”balance cant coexist when trying to change who you are”

    Everything is phasic

    Balance does NOT co exist with fatloss

    With extreme goals

    But its also not forever

    Playing too comfortable can hold you back… we went from one bro extreme of hard core bodybuilding bro shit;... to now resisting the work - resisting things of like having

    #

    Sometimes its not in pushing harder but in taking an alternative approach

    Sometimes you need to do unsustainable things to get to a place where you can find a new level of normal

    But this is where social media lets you down

    they always preach leaning down weight loss ove rand over

    They each you ohw to lose weight and speak of that but hardly anything else

    The 12 week transformations

    Noone has patience for anything else

    People hire coaches or do things only to lose weight

    They wont subscribe or anything else

    #

    Trying to build muscle but be as lean as you can

    Wanting to build muscle but refusing to eat enough because you are scared of the scale or gaining more weight

    Your pants feeling tight when you say you want more defined legs which demands building muscle



    People are mentality resistant to dieting

    Unable to give a fatloss phase what it takes

    Because despite not physically seeing results - theyre living in a limbo because they attach themselves so much to this lean

    Waiting for the next fat loss phase

    Wanting to cut calories

    Scared to eat more

    Scared to allow themselves more flexibility or to focus on a new direction

    The why and the how. The answers arent always known at first

    You need to have a flexible identity a flexible mindset that you allow to adapt, to pivot to evolve

    As you go along it

    -

    Your balance and success criteria can evolve and change as you do and thats ok

    Sometimes we don't slow down enough to realise our initial goals arent the now

    We need to let go of obsessing over losing weight and what a scale says or these quantitative checkins

    To allow us to understand HOW we geel, WHAT we need to focus on

    How we can build a lifestyle we truly love

    A live we can sustain any results we get

    But also keep achieving more



    Like it might be more obsessive to start with

    I take that back

    You may need to obsess more over prepping, planning, dealing with the discomfort of maybe eating the same thing every day and dealing with some reheated food

    But it gets easier





    ------------

    Most of those people didnt start that way with being so flexible either

    Saying no to things means your saying yes to less desirable things you don't want

    Isnt better if you choose your fuck yesses



    the process so so important

    You need to nail the basics and build the bricks

    Going from really overweight to “lean” if you do it right in the sense that you are doing some form of resistance training

    You will appear as though you lost fat and built muscle

    Yeah you probs built some… but most was what that heavy body was already carrying around under it - if you really took it home with a coach, yes you will reveal a better physique but that works til it doesnt.



    Instant gratification Why you will never get your goal in 12 week challenges; how a 12 or 16 week minimum is really only starting ground because of the complecxities of

    #321; ALAN ARAGON; whats fact vs fad? how aging & menopause changes how we need to diet & train, myths around metabolic adaptation, collagen & more

    “Be careful not to oversimplify in pursuit of simplicity. Changing the body, and maintaining those changes, is not as simple as people wish it was.”



    The rise of diet camps isnt leaving us

    Carnivore & veganism down falls - and while im so anti carnivore it isnt silly, im not against veganism at all but there are so many things you need to know if you want to keep health, performance & body composition in check, can you talk about both of these



    Doctors say it

    “Research papers say it”



    Seed oils





    Red meat

    ___

    Natural vs non natural

    GMOS vs organic



    15:00



    Do you see long term carnivore impacting any of those

    Or red meats

    Or any animal meats in general



    Because i get so riled up and i know you do too about netflix which typically are centered around vegans

    the myth behind a slowing metabolism and dieting ruining your metabolism ."Weight loss induces changes in adaptive thermogenesis in female and male physique athletes"



    In conclusion, while dieting, female and male physique athletes experience REE and hormonal changes leading to adaptive thermogenesis. However, responses seemed temporary as they returned toward baseline after the recovery phase



    24: NEAT







    I absolutely love this topic so lets keep taking this deeper into the research and also practice







    *** deflated maintenance vs real maintenance

    ______

    40:20

    Muscle and importance of it no matter what phase you are in

    And how to keep it

    How to train to keep it

    How carbs can help if you care about your energy, performance & muscle



    48: gallons of fat lost



    People are scared of this stuff and stepping away from fatloss bc its all they know which again is why a coach is important - why learning maintenance is important -

    And realising fat cant be lost all at once. Its in phases



    And diet fatigue is the weightloss resistance

    Theres so much progress you can make outside of dieting



    You do fatloss in chunks

    You need to revisit home and not always take your trip away to fatloss

    You live at home and build your life there so learn HOW to live there so you don't gain it all back or keep losing and gaining the same weight



    Be patient in the process

    57:00



    Briing your wife back into it - does aging change how diet and training work? Emphasising its harder to build muscle and fat shifts to different areas but you can change that and take owndership thru actions especially building muscle

    ____

    How alcohol can set you back



    Its not just a heap of calories (which i call liquid fat as it is the first thing the body tries to get rid of) but behind how calorific it is and how void of nutrition it is, how else can this be a massive set back, especially for women and those as they age





    You don't know how much easier your process and results can be when you give up alcohol



    Muscle synthesis is already lower

    Don't make it worse

    Most people are drinking it before bed and alcohol before bed sedates you and your quality goes down - you may sleep the hours but they arent good ones





    How about Do our elimination pathways slow down as we age or is that also individual ?



    ______________________



    Collagen facts

    This is why its important for injury

    Even wound healing

    Espeically as you age because collagen descreases but more isnt better

    Its like WHAT are you wanting
