The Absolute Strength Podcast

In this episode, Derek and I answer questions submitted by listeners of the show. Q#1: Hey Kyle, I heard that creatine causes hair loss and baldness, is there any truth to this? Q#2: I travel a ton for work and it makes it hard to follow any type of diet. Do you have any advice for things I can eat on the go, or what to order when frequently eating at restaurants? Q3: I have a strange question. I think I have a strength imbalance between my right and left leg. Would there be any downside to doing only unilateral movements for the lower body? I am thinking about doing a program with only lunges, step-ups, split squats, etc. What are your thoughts? Q4: To make a long story short, I was off and on dieting for the past year. After losing about ten pounds initially, my weight hit a plateau and no matter what I did, it wouldn't budge. Eventually, I got tired of dieting and increased my calories by 300. I expected my weight to shoot up, but it barely moved. I guess my question is, why haven't I gained weight? Q5: If you could go back in time and give your younger self one piece of training advice what would it be?

Almost every food has been villainized by the media. Of course, we have the typical culprits such as processed food, saturated fat, and sugar getting the brunt of the attention. But, depending on where you look, you can find things like grains, red meat, and dairy receiving similar treatment. Furthermore, there are even some circles that recommend avoiding fruits and vegetables. You may be thinking, if all of these foods are bad, what am I supposed to eat? You see, right there is the problem. Foods shouldn't be classified as good or bad. Food is food. Everything we eat is simply broken down into calories, protein, carbohydrates, fat, fiber, vitamins, and minerals. Of course, some foods should make up more of our diet than others, but any food can be part of a quality nutrition protocol. Understanding flexible dieting is really the difference between principles and methods. A flexible diet is not really a diet. In fact, any diet can be flexible; because macronutrient-based nutrition is rooted in principles, not methods.

In this episode, I answer questions from Instagram. 1: Why do lighter weights sometimes feel heavier than usual? 2: I'm overweight and currently eating at maintenance. When should I start cutting for summer? 3: When does intra workout carbs make sense? 4: Advice to break out as a fitness coach in the saturated fitness coach/influencer realm we live in? 5: Are deloads a good idea? When should you do them and who are they for? And is it just by feel or is there a formula to follow? 6: Should you lower calories on rest days? 7: Would you ever compete in CrossFit or do an obstacle course race? 8: If you could have a billboard that said anything, what would it say and where would it be?

The fitness industry is built from arguably, one of the most persuasive advertising tools in existence – the transformation picture. These "before and after's" are used to sell everything from workout equipment, coaching, books, and supplements. But, at the personal level, these transformations sell hope. Few things in fitness are as exciting as the prospect of losing body fat. In the beginning, simply the anticipation of seeing your abs for the first time is enough to get the wheels turning. The good news is, as long as you resistance train a few times per week, maintain a calorie deficit, and adhere to the plan, fat loss initially comes pretty easy. At this point, the process is enjoyable. However, the sunshine and rainbows won't last forever. The only way the body calls on stored body fat is to create an imbalance between energy intake and expenditure. The trouble is the body adapts to caloric restriction and weight loss with a range of metabolic, behavioral, and hormonal responses. As a result of these adaptations, progress slows down. On top of that, energy in the gym takes a hit, workouts get laborious, and the desire to eat goes up as hunger and cravings increase. Anyone who has dieted before knows what I am talking about. This is where most people give in. It starts with one bite and ends with you surrounded by empty pints of Ben and Jerry's. I'm exaggerating, but you get the idea. As we know, a caloric deficit is needed to lose fat – calories in vs. calories out. On the other hand, being in a negative calorie balance unleashes adaptations that make further fat loss more difficult. Caloric restriction is a necessary evil when it comes to fat loss. So, what do we do? Fortunately for us, the story doesn't have to end there. Instead, we can hack the system by implementing a strategy of occasional overfeeding. This strategy is called refeeding. It's not magic, and I don't want to oversell you like an unrealistic transformation picture, but refeeds have been used successfully in the bodybuilding world for years.

Two plates. It's a milestone for every young lifter. We all remember that feeling of pushing up 225lbs for the first time. Some of us probably even remember the gym where it happened. It's safe to say a 225lbs bench press is a big deal. However, as we advance in our lifting career, the expectations rise. Eventually, it becomes unacceptable to just hit 225lbs for a rep or two. The next goal is to rep it with ease. The NFL made the 225lb bench press test for max reps famous. Every year the NFL hosts a scouting combine in Indianapolis where college players go and participate in a wide range of physical events. The combine gives teams a chance to see the college prospects display their athletic abilities in a controlled environment. In addition to the bench press, the other events are the 40-yard dash, vertical jump, broad jump, and various shuttle runs. But, what makes the 225lbs bench test unique, is it gives the average gym member the rare chance to compare themselves to the best athletes in the world. It allows us average folk to see how we stack up against the freaks we watch play on Sundays.

In fitness, time on task should be worth a lot. However, sometimes experienced people still struggle with their fitness goals. Why is that? We all follow basically the same pattern with any new skill we learn. We start off wanting to get better at something, gather information from a book, website, podcast, or coach, practice until we reach an acceptable level, and then let it become automatic. For much of what we do, this is perfectly acceptable. For example, once you become a competent driver, that is sufficient. You don't need to be world-class to get from point A to point B without running into things. The real question is, how do we go beyond an acceptable level of competence? Unfortunately, once you reach a satisfactory skill level at something, it becomes harder and harder to continue improving. Many people come to this realization with their training after a few years. The longer you lift weights, the more work you need to do to ultimately get fewer results. At this point, the margin for error is small to continue making gains. Simply spending more time is unlikely to get it done if mistakes are still being made. To see progress in years five, ten, or fifteen, you need to dot your I's and cross your T's. Over the years, I have observed a few common mistakes advanced lifters make. If you have put in the time but are still frustrated with your results, fixing these errors is a great place to start.

In this episode, I go over how to calculate calories and macros for building muscle and losing fat. The "secret" to any diet in terms of body composition comes down to calories and macronutrients. Every diet is a macro diet, whether you track them or not. In my opinion, regardless of what diet you choose to hitch your wagon to, it makes sense to learn how to calculate calorie and macronutrient targets. Understanding the basics of energy balance, portion sizes, and food tracking is the best practical nutrition education you can get. This knowledge is the key to demystifying nutrition and setting you up for long-term success.

In this episode, I talk about how to use percentages, RPE, and RIR in your training. Both percentage-based training and an autoregulated approach using the RPE scale and RIR have their place. The key is understanding how they fit together to help you get the most out of your training. Knowing which string to pull at the right time is one of the primary aspects of programming. Either way, both methods provide an effective system to determine the correct load to put on the bar. Sit back, relax, and enjoy!

In this episode, Derek and I talk about a bunch of random things and answer questions from listeners at the end. Questions on the show: 1. I have heard when you are cutting, it's a bad idea to have carbs and fats in the same meal. Is there any truth to this? [should the post-workout meal be low fat?] 2. When you get closer to your genetic potential is there anything you have to change or do differently to continue seeing progress? 3. I know you say not to worry about day-to-day weight fluctuations, but how do you mentally handle seeing the scale go up throughout the week when you know you are in a deficit? 4. Are there any old-school bodybuilding techniques you think people forgot about that are effective? 5. How often should you change the exercises in your program, and can you give me some triceps exercise examples, all I do is triceps pressdowns?

Let's face it, training to build muscle can get boring. The most effective training programs involve the same basic exercises repeated consistently, and progressively over time. With that being said, variety is the spice of life. How many cable crossovers and dumbbell curls can you do before getting tired of it and joining a CrossFit gym? Sometimes just adding in a new exercise can give you an added jolt of enjoyment to push harder during your workouts. And, enjoying your workouts is more important than we often give it credit for. Keep in mind, this is not going to be a list of unique movements you see influencers doing on Instagram. I'm not going to have you sit on a machine backward, sideways, or upside down. This isn't about reinventing the wheel. In fact, many of the exercises on this list I'm sure you have done before. My goal is to provide you with a nudge to include a few less common exercises into your program. Don't feel like you need to include all of them right away. Pick out a couple of movements you like, try them out, and see how they feel. If all goes well, in a month or two, come back to the list and try out a couple of more.

Questions on the show: Q1: Since I started lifting, I have been a home gym guy. However, I recently moved across the country and sold all of my equipment. My question is, what should I look for when picking out the right gym? Q2: When it comes to arm training, do you still recommend the general 10-20 sets per week for biceps and triceps, or do you account for indirect volume from presses, rows, pulldowns, etc. Q3: What do you say to clients after a bad week of training and/or dieting? Q4: I know there aren't any special foods or anything like that, but do you have any general recommendations for what to eat and how to workout when trying to lose fat? Q5: Hey Kyle, I don't think you have mentioned this before, but I'm curious about your thoughts on 75 Hard? I am thinking about trying it but I want your opinion.

In 2019, I recorded a podcast titled, 19 Book You Need to Read in 2019. I received a lot of great feedback from that episode. However, I feel this type of piece needs to be updated from time to time.

Q2: My question is about pre-workout nutrition. Due to my schedule, I have to train first thing in the morning before I go to work. I struggle waking up early so I usually don't have time to eat before I go to the gym. I know you train early in the morning, is there anything I can do to make my morning workouts suck less?

Q2: Hey Kyle, I'm a big fan of the podcast and would love your opinion on a dilemma I am having. I currently weigh between 192-195lbs at roughly 20% body fat. In the past I have competed at 83kg but I feel like I am getting too big for the weight class. Should I cut back down or just go up to 93kg? Q3: I know you are a big fan of following training programs, but what are your thoughts on people who do instinctive style training?

New Powerbuilding Program: Absolute Progress 2.0: https://kylehuntfitness.shop/collections/programs/products/absolute-progress Questions on the show: Q1: A question I have for you that I've been thinking of, that might actually be a good podcast question. How do you maintain your passion and approach to training and nutrition at this point? Having three kids, you're still super consistent with it. I know having a health and physique-oriented business plays a big part, but otherwise, would you be as committed as you are now? Just something I've been wondering as I've gotten older. Like you, my life was all about training through my twenties, but it has waned a bit to an extent as I've hit 30. Just trying to light that fire back up! Q2: Hey man I have a question for you. Do you know of any research on the effects of not drinking enough water while supplementing with creatine? This is never talked about so I am curious. Q3: What is the best way to measure progress when in a gaining phase? Q4: I know you love upper/lower splits, but I feel my upper body doesn't get enough attention on an upper/lower split. What can I do to work around that? Q5: If the volume is equated, how beneficial is frequency for building muscle?

In this episode, I answer questions about my favorite fat loss diet, how I use volume cycling in my training, influencer boxing, and more. Sit back, relax, and enjoy. Questions on the show: Q 1: Hey Kyle, I know you generally promote flexible dieting, but do you think it's the best diet for fat loss? Q 2: I have heard you mention on the podcast that for muscle growth you need between 10-20 sets per muscle group per week to maximize muscle development. My question is, does it ever make sense to do more or less volume than that? Q 3: It seems like a lot of fitness influencers are either training to run a marathon or taking up boxing. I'm not saying I want to run that much or get in the ring to fight, but I would like to add some of that style of training into my program. My question is, what would be the best way to do that while not losing my gains? Q4: I have been bodybuilding training for a few years, but recently became interested in powerlifting. What is the best way for someone to get started? Q5: I have been training for 5 years and my upper body is pretty developed but I feel like my arms are lagging behind. My question is, how do I get my arms to catch up to the rest of my upper body?

The gym I train at doesn't have AC and I feel like my workouts are suffering. I know you train in your garage so I thought you might have some suggestions. Q3: This isn't a question, but I think it would make a good topic for a podcast. Can you talk about food labels and the different ways companies try to trick you?

In this episode, I answer six questions sent in by listeners of the show. Sit back, relax, and enjoy! Questions on the show: 1: Hey Kyle, I have been lifting weights pretty seriously for five years, and for the first time since I started, I feel burnt out. I think I might just be bored with lifting? Do you have any advice for me? 2: Hey man, I just got back into powerlifting after a long break from high school. I found your pod a while back and really enjoy it. I had two questions that might be interesting topics to cover. How often do you max yourself or your clients and how often do you think someone should test their 1RM? Do you ever try to strategically fit in a PL weight class or do you just maintain a weight that feels right for you? 3: Hey Kyle, I have a question for the podcast, how often should you change the exercises in your program if building muscle is the primary goal? 4: Hi Kyle, I have a question for you. I have heard you talk about on the podcast how cheat meals are not a good idea during a fat loss diet, however, in the past I have had pretty good success with them. Is it an individual thing, or could I have achieved better results by not having cheat meals? 5: Why does it seem like Actors can make huge transformations seemingly overnight while it takes the rest of us years to see any meaningful progress? Is it all steroids or something else? 6: What is one piece of advice you would give a recent college grad looking to get into the fitness industry?
