About 6 months ago I began an experiment with my own training. I kept my program EXACTLY the same for several mesocycles…or at least that was the plan! I was curious if I would ever run into an actual “plateau” and NEED to change anything, or if I would just get bored. Well, 6 months later here is my update! - Links mentioned in episode⬇️ My training experiment (ep. 119) - Where to find me⬇️ IG: @JordanLipsFitness Podcast: Where Optimal Meets Practical Website: JordanLipsFitness.com - Jordan’s Coaching Options⬇️ Apply for 1:1 Coaching HERE Group Programming [Gym Program] Group Programming [Home Gym] - Helping you find the balance between OPTIMAL and PRACTICAL - 🫶🏼JL
Hypertrophy nerds rejoice…we have another episode with my good friend Bryan Boorstein. Today we’re talking about how to set up RIR at the start of a program and how to progress it week to week. We compare two logical ways of setting this up and discuss the pros and cons of each…although at the end of the day both can work extremely well. We also discuss training to failure and beyond. Is it worth it? Or should you just train to 2-3RIR for everything if it provides the same gains for less fatigue… Or does it?

**Disclaimer: You do not have to track calories, macros, or anything at all. This podcast assumes you have decided to use some form of tracking for some goal. We will not discuss “should you track at all” in this episode. - In today’s episode we discuss the difference between counting all 3 macros and counting just calories and protein. - I break down the pros and cons of each approach both from a scientific and practical perspective and discuss which might be better for you depending on your goals. - At the end of the day my goal is to give you all the information to help you decide what’s best for you. That’s it 😊 - Where to find me⬇️ IG: @JordanLipsFitness Podcast: Where Optimal Meets Practical Website: JordanLipsFitness.com - Jordan’s Coaching Options⬇️ Apply for 1:1 Coaching HERE Group Programming [Gym Program] Group Programming [Home Gym] - Helping you find the balance between OPTIMAL and PRACTICAL - 🫶🏼JL
When it comes to fat loss, most of what’s discussed on social media or asked in Q&As are these “WHAT” questions What are your calories? What calculator should you use? What is your protein target? What is your goal weight? A lot of the questions are about numbers… And I’m not saying those questions don’t matter. They absolutely do. If you’re gonna track your calories you do need to pick where you’re gonna start. I get it. It’s just that these questions are getting more attention than they deserve. This podcast discusses these “WHAT” questions and how it is probably more important to spend time on the HOW and the WHY if you want to make real, lasting behavior change (which is what is required). - Where to find me⬇️ IG: @JordanLipsFitness Podcast: Where Optimal Meets Practical Website: JordanLipsFitness.com - Jordan’s Coaching Options⬇️ Apply for 1:1 Coaching HERE Group Programming [Gym Program] Group Programming [Home Gym] - Helping you find the balance between OPTIMAL and PRACTICAL - ❤️JL
