In this episode, Alex and Lindsay discuss the surprising research showing that while 95% of people believe they are self-aware, only 10–15% actually are when tested. They explore how this lack of true self-awareness creates blind spots that keep people stuck in patterns they can’t see or break. The conversation digs into how faulty identity views and core beliefs quietly drive behavior, and why uncovering them is essential to progress. They reveal why working with a coach provides the outside perspective most people need to achieve lasting self-awareness, compassion, and accountability.👉 If you want to discover what you might be missing go follow @alexparker.fit and DM him COACHING for details about coaching.Topics discussed:(00:08) - All it takes is a goal (04:27) - Alex's mirror exercises (13:34) - Most people believe they are self aware (19:02) - The importance of logging even when it's uncomfortable (27:48) - Doing a deep dive on your systems (30:10) - Why do we struggle with self awareness?

Weighted vests can be useful, but let’s be honest about the benefits.Topics discussed:(00:06) - Who's excited about a weighted vest? (00:48) - Why is Lindsay not jumping on getting a weighted vest? (02:46) - Does it help with bone density? (03:28) - Does it build more muscle and strength? (05:54) - Does it burn more body fat? (13:56) - The nuance of the studies being used to justify weighted vests (21:08) - I love food! (26:43) - I appreciate your words of encouragement Walking alone is not a strong enough stimulus for muscle or bone.Inactive postmenopausal women who walked with or without a vest for 18 months had no significant bone density changes (PMID: 22338922). Full breakdown belowEven wearing a vest for 8 hours/day (PMID: 40540267) or 10 hours/day (PMID: 30095153) showed minimal skeletal benefit.The muscle and bone gains you see in the research?They’re mostly in untrained individuals doing loaded exercises like squats, lunges, and jumps with the vest (PMID: 10995045, 9467434, 17724395).In these cases, the vest is just a hands-free way to add weight — not magic. As people progress, they’ll need more load than a vest alone can provide.And for fat loss?Calorie burn from vest-walking is only ~10–15% higher than without it. That’s 30–50 kcal for an hour walk — about a single untracked bite of food.Long-term fat loss comes from managing intake, not chasing small increases in burn. Your diet is the real game changer.If you lift weights regularly, walk, and are mindful about food, a weighted vest probably isn’t a “must-have” for you. it’s most effective in the right context.Study Overview: Walking With vs. Without a Weighted Vest PMID: 22338922Authors & Journal: Tantiwiboonchai N., Kritpet T., Yuktanandana P. in Journal of the Medical Association of Thailand, 2011 (EurekaMag).Participants: 48 working women aged 30–60, randomly split into two groups: one walking with a weighted vest, the other walking without, on a treadmill 3×/week for 12 weeks (EurekaMag).Protocol: Vest group started walking without it for the first 2 weeks, then began adding 2% of body weight weekly until reaching 8% by week 6 (EurekaMag).FindingsBone Markers: Both groups showed large decreases in bone resorption (β-CrossLaps)—~19.1% for the vest group vs. ~21.8% for the non-vest group—no significant difference between them (EurekaMag).Physical Fitness: Improvements in leg and arm strength, endurance, and VO₂ max were seen in both groups—again, no significant differences between vest vs. non-vest walkers (EurekaMag).Bottom Line—What This MeansWalking, with or without a weighted vest, helped with fitness and reduced bone resorption—but wearing the vest didn’t offer any extra benefit. So if you’re thinking the vest is a cheat code for stronger bones or muscles… this study says otherwise.

If you've spent any time in the evidence-based fitness world, you've no doubt come across his work. Eric is a coach, athlete, author, researcher, and educator. He’s one of the minds behind 3DMJ—helping natural bodybuilders and strength athletes reach their best without sacrificing their health—and the author of The Muscle & Strength Pyramid books, The Nutrition Coach's Guide to Bodybuilding, and countless research reviews.What I love most about Eric is that he bridges the gap between science and real-world application—always with an emphasis on sustainability, psychological health, and the long game. So today, we're diving deep into the tricky terrain of what happens after a fat loss phase—reverse dieting, low energy availability, and how lean you can realistically stay without sacrificing your health or performance. I really loved this episode and i’m hoping you do too!If you’re interested in working with Eric or his team you can contact them HERE at 3DMJ Coaching.For coaches looking to learn more and stay up to date with the latest research check out Mass Research Review. It’s an incredible resource that i’ve used for years now. HEREFollow Eric HERE
