Let’s face it…some people make a living telling you tracking is “disordered” or “will give you an eating disorder”. Are they right? Even a little bit? What sort of things can we do both from a mental and practical standpoint to reap the benefits of tracking without f*cking up our relationship with food?

In today’s episode I go through 5 things I’ve changed my mind about. I’ll skip the boring shit from when I first started coaching like BCAAS don’t work or carbs make you fat. These 5 I actually find interesting and have affected my coaching/outlook in some way relatively recently! How much protein you actually need How much training volume you actually need Does fat loss improve your life? Can you do cardio and still make gains? How important is biomechanics and perfecting exercise technique?

Today I’m joined by my good friend Bryan Boorstein to talk about a topic I know we’re both passionate about right now: Minimalist Training Techniques I suppose neither of us are, currently, technically, FULL-BLOWN minimalists…but that doesn’t stop us from wanting to learn about how to get more out of your training in LESS time and I know it’s something we’ll both be playing with in the next couple of years. At the end of the day most of us aren’t trying to be professional bodybuilders. Spending hours and hours in the gym for diminished returns just isn’t what you or your clients are probably after How can we get MOST of the gains that are available to us in LESS time? Truthfully, the data is pretty encouraging for those out there who don’t have that much time to train. There’s a LOT you can do if you turn the right knobs and flip the right switches. Do we all just end up in the SAME place anyway? If you train a more minimalist style or really push for “best possible gains” is it really just a situation where you end up in the same place but maybe get there quicker with the “optimal” approach? ^^ this is a topic I find particularly interesting seeing as though most of us should really be committing to a LIFETIME of resistance training If I’m gonna do this for the next 50 years do I care if I reach my “genetic potential” or “practical potential” in 10 years or 15 years if I can train a lot less and have more time for life and still end up in the same spot anyway?

For the next 4 months I’m going to be training EVERY DAY. I know it sounds crazy and in some ways at face value is something I would advise against, but I’ll be organizing it in a way I think makes a lot of sense and definitely has some upsides. All of my training experiments are a learning experience and training more frequently with shorter sessions (spoiler) is something I’ve wanted to try for a while now. In this episode I lay out how what, how, and why behind this experiment as well as talk through my expectations. In some ways I thought “who gives a shit what I do?” but I think there’s a good discussion here around how to use frequency + split and what part they play in overall programming Links mentioned in episode⬇️ My training experiment (ep. 119) Where to find Jordan⬇️ 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
