    Podcast 43: Why Did My Metabolism Slow Down After 30 Working A High Performing Desk Job

    If you’re a busy professional wondering why you’re gaining belly fat after 30 despite eating the same and working just as hard, this video breaks down the real reason your metabolism didn’t slow down—your lifestyle did. Learn how corporate men, executives, and desk workers can lose fat, rebuild muscle, and regain energy without extreme diets or spending hours in the gym. This episode of the Generation Fit Podcast reveals the science-backed truth behind fat gain after 30, why your metabolism isn’t broken, and the exact systems high-performing men use to stay lean, confident, and disciplined while balancing career, family, and responsibility. Most men don’t lose their physique because they got lazy. They lose it because nobody showed them how to adapt to their new life. In this episode, you’ll learn: • Why your metabolism didn’t actually slow down after 30 • The hidden reason desk jobs accelerate fat gain • How corporate lifestyle quietly destroys your physique • Why you’re overeating without realizing it • The truth about calories, protein, and fat loss • How stress, sleep, and responsibility impact your body • Why consistency beats motivation every time • The exact systems high-performing men use to stay lean • How to integrate fitness into a busy professional life • The mindset shift required to take back control This is not about motivation. This is about ownership. If you’re a father, executive, entrepreneur, or corporate professional who refuses to settle for becoming weak, tired, and invisible — this is for you. Because the strongest men aren’t the ones with the most time. They’re the ones who take control despite having none.

    Podcast 41: How to Go From Skinny Fat to Superhero As A Desk Working Man

    If you are a corporate desk worker who feels stuck in that skinny fat body, this episode is for you. Skinny fat is that frustrating spot where you have belly fat and love handles, but you also feel under-muscled, so you do not look lean, athletic, or defined. You look in the mirror and you genuinely do not know what to fix first. Do I cut fat first or do I build muscle first? In this podcast, me and my coaches break down the simplest and most efficient way to go from skinny fat to a superhero physique without living in the gym, without overcomplicated programs, and without doing five to six workouts a week that you cannot sustain. We talk about how to actually approach body recomposition, when it makes sense to lose fat first, when it makes sense to build muscle first, and why most men fail even when the plan is “scientifically correct.” The truth is, if you cannot stick to the plan consistently, the plan does not matter. I also explain a simple way to tell if you realistically have around 20 pounds to lose. If you are standing up and you still have one to two inches of fat spilling over your waistband, that is usually a sign you have fat to clean up before you will look the way you want. Then we get into training, because most desk-working men are still trying to run old push pull legs splits or bro splits like it’s the golden standard. It is not. If you are busy, stressed, commuting, working long hours, or you are a dad, you need a plan that fits your lifestyle so you can actually execute it. That is why we focus on full body training that is flexible, efficient, and built around compound lifts that hit every major movement pattern. You can build an insane physique with two full body workouts per week when the programming is smart and consistent. If you want help losing 20 plus pounds, building muscle definition, and finally getting out of the skinny fat loop without sacrificing your career or your family life, subscribe. New episodes weekly.

    Podcast 40: Setting The Standard For Yourself and Your Family

    Most men don’t fail because they’re lazy. They fail because the standard they live by is too low. In this episode of the Generation Fit Podcast, Coach Chris and Coach Brett break down what it actually means to set the standard as a man — for your health, your family, your career, and your future. This isn’t a fitness podcast. This is a leadership conversation. We talk about why confidence is built through follow-through, not motivation. How your habits quietly shape your kids long before you ever try to teach them. Why most men gain weight, lose energy, and disappear after marriage or kids. And why waiting until “life slows down” is a losing strategy. We also get into environment, culture, modern comfort, alcohol norms, parenting mistakes, and why being “normal” today leads to being unhealthy, broke, and frustrated later. If you’re a man with a desk job over 30, a father or future father, or someone who knows you’re capable of more, this episode will hit. Listen through. Share this with a man who needs to hear it.
