    You'll Feel Better if You Spend Less Time in the Gym

    On this episode of BPR, Derrick explains why training 4-5 days per week will make you feel SIGNIFICANTLY better than 6-7 days. ⠀ Training 6-7 days per week is often glorified and presented as the pinnacle of fitness, but in reality, it’s one of the WORST strategies. ⠀ 0-1 rest days per week is NOT enough time for your body to recover. ⠀ Plus, 6-7 days per week in the gym doesn’t leave a lot of time to get out and express your fitness in the real world. ⠀ The whole point of training is to improve your life beyond the gym, so you need to leave yourself some time to reap the rewards of your efforts. ⠀ Why 4-5 days? ⠀ Tune in and find out 🔊 ⠀ If you need guidance on what 4-5 days per week should look like, or you maybe want an entire program to follow, you can click HERE for a free week of BUILD, MOVE, or PERFORM.

    Spend Less Time on the Machines and Look Better Naked

    On this episode of BPR, Derrick explains how spending less time on the cardio machines will make you look better naked. ⠀ No one wants to spend countless hours doing cardio, yet, you’ve been brainwashed into thinking that’s what’s required to lose weight and change your body composition. ⠀ BUT… ⠀ Cardio does not inherently equal weight loss (not even fasted cardio). ⠀ The BEST way to transform your body is RESISTANCE TRAINING, or even mixed-modal training. ⠀ Why is that the case? ⠀ Tune in to find out 🎧

    4 Alternatives for the Snatch

    On this episode of BPR, Derrick outlines 4 alternatives for the Snatch. ⠀ Simply put, the Snatch is moving an object from the ground to a position of support, overhead, in one fluid motion. ⠀ In the world of high-intensity functional fitness, the Snatch is programmed A LOT…from light, fast, and high volume to heavy days and 1RMs, the Snatch rears it’s ugly head quite a bit. ⠀ You’ve probably asked yourself on more than one occasion, “Is the Snatch even worth it? Do I have to do it?” ⠀ The answer is “NO.” ⠀ You do NOT have to Snatch 🤯 ⠀ Tune in to find out the 4 alternatives that we recommend in place of the Snatch.

    Why People Regain Weight (feat. Ash)

    On this episode of BPR, Ash and I outline why it's so common to regain weight after you lose it. ⠀ It's been suggested that approximately 95% of people who are overweight or obese go on repeated diets, only to gain nearly all of the weight back within one year. ⠀ That's hard to believe, right?! ⠀ Weight regain is the result of two components: ⠀ Psychological ⠀ After restricting your food, whether it’s a crash diet, following a fad diet, or doing a diet (even in a healthy way) for an extended period, you eventually get to the point where you recognize the lack of long-term sustainability and adherence. ⠀ Physiological ⠀ Long-term dieting causes down-regulation in our metabolic health. We have a decline in BMR (basal metabolic rate), activity/exercise feels harder, NEAT decreases, digestion decreases, thyroid and sex hormones are impacted, etc. ⠀ So, how can you prevent weight regain? ⠀ Tune in to find out 🔊

    We're NOT Impressed by Kipping Pull-ups

    On this episode of BPR, Derrick explains why we don't give a $h!t about how many Kipping Pull-ups you can do. ⠀ Sure, it’s cool if you can do 70 Kipping Pull-ups; it’s f#ck!ng awesome if you can do 20 Strict Pull-ups. ⠀ Here's our problem with Kipping Pull-ups... ⠀ The Kipping Pull-up receives so much praise within the functional fitness space that individuals who are NOT even close to having developed the stability, strength, muscular endurance, or coordination necessary to perform the exercise, start trying to learn the movement within a few weeks of beginning group classes. ⠀ The Strict Pull-up is KING. ⠀ We believe that men should have the capacity to perform 20+ consecutive repetitions and women should be able to complete 10+ consecutive repetitions. ⠀ Lastly, in case you're not familiar with the Kipping Pull-up, here a few videos: ⠀ Gymnastics Kipping Pull-up Butterfly Kipping Pull-up
