We're all overwhelmed with too many options and too much information. We all make the mistakes of trying to take on too many new habits at once. What if we could fix both of those? What kind of results could we get? Both in our fitness and in all aspects of our lives? The One Thing, one of my favorite books, talks about the 6 big lies between you and success. One of them is that everything matters equally. That's total BS. Very few things truly matter. Another is the myth of discipline, and that willpower is always on call. If you believe those lies you sabotage your results. Today, I talk about the one thing you need to do with your diet and training to get in your best shape for summer. We'll also discuss what you need to do to make habits stick, be more productive, and improve your finances and your happiness. Topics include: How to determine the #1 diet change that will get you ripped How to increase your gains in the gym What your workout schedule should be How to avoid falling off the wagon HIIT workouts for maximum fat loss The one thing holding you back from accomplishing everything you want How to use the "focusing question" to simplify your life and amplify your results The myth of balance The importance of saying no How to stop being so overwhelmed This episode is brought to you by Athletic Greens.

Back in the mid 90's in a small town in Dirty Jersey, I opened Renegade Gym. It was one of the original hardcore, underground, warehouse style training facilities. The atmosphere was legendary, the results unmatched. Long before it was mainstream to push sleds and flip tires we did it. Way before you ever saw gymnastics rings in a gym we had them. Twenty years before it was cool to "train like an athlete," we were doing it. Group workouts? Competitions? Record boards on the wall? Yup, we were doing that in '96, son. As you approached the front door you could hear the sounds of Ice Cube and Slayer shaking the walls. When you walked in you were greeted by a sign that said, "Welcome to the Terrordome," and under it the gym rules. Break one and you'd be kicked out. We didn't have the time or patience for anyone who came to mess around. You were there to be the best or you weren't welcome. Guys traveled far and wide to come to this tiny basement dungeon to get bigger, stronger and faster than they could anywhere else. Although I can't bring you there, I've done my best to recapture the magic in today's episode. I'll be sharing stories and getting into full detail about the training system that routinely transformed every member into a savage beast. Highlights include: Fist fights galore Really stupid PR attempts What the yoga girl should have never asked me Knocking myself out during a workout Trying to knock my brother out How my toe got crushed by three 45lb plates Finishing a keg clean and press contest soaked in blood The epic shit talking Friday strongman sessions The exact details of the training system The diet that took me from 147 to 231 Why we finally had to close the doors What we did in between My time living in NYC My start online Reopening the gym The move to Cali Renegade West and the future of Renegade Gym This episode is brought to you by Athletic Greens.

Eric Merola is a documentary filmmaker. On today's podcast we focus mainly on his films about curing cancer and the amazing life changing benefits of fetal stem cell therapy. I think you'll find the discussion fascinating and frustrating at the same time, if not slightly angering. That's because a lot of it is about the lies being perpetrated by big pharma and the greed fueled corruption that keeps people sick. Topics include: The doctor who discovered a cure for cancer How the government tried to silence him Why donating to cancer research is a huge waste Why you should never trust the ___ foundation What to do if you or someone you love has cancer Preventative measures against cancer The amazing fetal stem cell treatment he recently got Reversing low libido and sexual dysfunction Slowing down the aging process Improving cognitive skills Healing aches and pains This episode is brought to you by Athletic Greens.

Philip McKernan is a speaker, coach, writer and filmmaker. He works with entrepreneurs and business leaders all over the world. When people are seeking clarity about their future or want to move through roadblocks, seen and unseen, they call Philip. As a speaker he has inspired and challenged the Canadian Olympic Team and The Pentagon, to name a few. What separates Philip from a lot of coaches, speakers and gurus is originality. He brings new conversations to the table and spends an obscene amount of time thinking and challenging the status quo, instead of simply repackaging business & life hacking strategies. I had a very interesting discussion with Philip on the most recent podcast. Topics include: Making the leap from mindset to "soulset" The problem with goals The importance of pursuing artistic endeavors The benefits of improve and comedy The problem with the self-help industry How to real live authentically Fixing your relationship with money Is gratitude just another trendy buzzword Why sometimes you need to stop and do nothing Tips on building happy, successful relationships This episode is brought to you by Kimera Koffee.

Some people have it all wrong. They go the gym 3-4 times a week and lift the heaviest weights possible. That's their only concern. More pounds on the bar, more weight on the scale. But, above all else, you've gotta be able to move your body. Freely and without pain or restriction. If you can't do that you have no business putting another plate on the bar. If you can't do a perfect bodyweight squat it makes zero sense to load the exercise. I've spent about eleventeen million hours in gyms throughout my life. I can probably count on two hands the number of times I've seen someone do a perfect pushup. Sad but true. Yet the dude doing the shitty pushups as a warm up will readily lay down and start bench pressing. Too many of us have it backwards. Mike Fitch was once one of those people. He bulked up way beyond his natural weight and noticed an incredible drop in his mobility and movement efficiency. In today's podcast Mike talks about his journey. Topics include: His awakening that led him to bodyweight mastery How he created the Animal Flow system Getting Equinox on board to promote his work How to train for handstand pushups How to properly progress your chin ups The essential regressions and progressions for bodyweight exercises Bodyweight training for maximum muscle How much time per day you should spend on movement His 3-day rotation diet His decision to sell all his stuff and go full minimalist Traveling the world without breaking the bank Living in a new place every month The most important business decision he ever made The importance of giving back His daily routine

It's been a while since we've heard my brother, Kenny Johnson on the podcast. In that time he lost 43 pounds of body-fat, got shredded and competed in a physique contest. Like me, Kenny got his first visible 6-pack after his 40th birthday. That means there's plenty of hope for everyone who thinks their best days are behind them. Not evenly remotely true. Today Kenny and I are freestyling back and forth about: His exact diet plan and how it progressed. His training and cardio schedule. The diets we've felt best on. The difference between eating for health vs. physique vs. performance. What I did to get 9.5 hours of sleep 3 nights in a row. A secret way to improve your pressing. Why I don't allow people to "pick my brain." Rules for meeting a new dog. White people and wild animals. #GrammysSoWhite Automation for porn? The best rapper alive every year since '79. Essentials to a full body warm up. Best barbell-free lower body exercises. How often can you really train?

Does a workout really have to last an hour to deliver great results? Can you really only train hard three times per week? Are deload weeks necessary? Is overtraining overhyped? I sit down with my good friends, Adam Bornstein, Luka Hocevar and Jay Jablonski to answer these questions and more in today's podcast. Adam also shares some great life lessons from his recent health scare and what he's learned so far as a dad. Other topics discussed include: The common weakness Adam and I share [4:02]. The importance of structure [10:09]. The dangers of always trying to do more [13:46]. Does it matter if people like you? [27:24]. Why Luka's always had a chip on his shoulder [29:14]. Why we always try to prove people wrong [30:46]. "Boners everywhere" [32:33]. How new dads can make time to train [34:29]. The benefits of short workouts [35:20]. High frequency training [37:44]. Breaking up workouts and prehab stuff [42:00]. How much intensity should you bring to your workouts? [42:29]. A better way to make training a habit [44:40]. How Crossfitters and high volume bodybuilders can get rapid strength gains [47:40]. The negatives of always trying to set PR's [49:02]. How training can change your mood and focus [51:07]. The power of the support group [56:49].

Doctor Mark Cheng is a ninja, a Jedi, and an evil genius. He possesses, what some might consider, magical, mystical healing powers. I met Doc Cheng a few years back and had him start working on some of my injuries. His ability to assess and correct dysfunction is second to none. He can tell what's wrong with your shoulder by the way you walk. He can tell what's wrong with your ankle by the way you talk. Maybe I'm exaggerating. Or maybe I'm not. In addition to being a respected healer and body worker, Doc Cheng is a highly trained fight expert. In my 30 years of training experience the best I've ever felt was when I was working with Doc Cheng on a twice per week basis. We started in his office and then progressed to training in the gym. I believe that even coaches need coaches, so I handed the reins over to the good doc and let him take control. We mixed rehab, strength work and fight techniques all into the same workout. The progress I made was mind blowing. Doc Cheng joins us on the podcast today to discuss topics such as: Essentials of self-defense [7:08]. When to fight and when to walk away [12:11]. Why you should always be prepared [15:50]. How he got into doing Martial Arts for a living [24:03]. Some of the key exercises we used in my rehab [31:09]. What movement patterns should everyone be able to do? [50:32 & 1:00:37]. How much time should you spend on mobility? [57:13 & 1:35:55]. The best prehab and rehab exercises [1:00:52]. Are sit-ups and crunches as bad as people think? [1:16:10]. The truth about foam rolling [1:20:10]. Lumbar flexion: The seat of death [1:27:04].

For most of your life you've been told that you can have it all. You can do everything and be everything. But that's bullshit. And trying to do and have it all will get you nowhere. It might even ruin your life. To have more happiness and success you need to do less. You need to say "no" more often. You need to be okay with "missing out." It's all about identifying the vital few and separating them from the trivial many. That's the way of the "essentialist." If you've followed me for any length of time you have heard me recommend the book, Essentialism: The Disciplined Pursuit of Less. Today, I finally have the author, Greg McKeown on the podcast. Topics discussed include: How the concept of Essentialism evolved for Greg [4:30]. Why it's not just about less, but better [7:59]. Vital questions you need to ask yourself [11:03]. The myth of "priorities" [12:30]. Why it's so hard to get rid of physical possessions [16:16]. Why we feel the need to be busy all the time [19:10]. How to say no gracefully [22:59]. Progress and it's importance in maintaining motivation [32:29]. The key ingredient in health, wealth and fulfilled life [36:29].

If you're lucky you have one or two great mentors, teachers or coaches who change your life forever. I've been fortunate enough to have a handful of them. But, perhaps none have been as impactful as my great friend, Alwyn Cosgrove. Alwyn grew up poor in Glasgow, Scotland. Fighting was essential for survival, so he got a black belt and became a nation champion in Tae Kwon Do. He later became a strength coach and moved to the US, which is how we met at a training workshop in 1996. For the 20 years since he's been one of my closest friends, biggest supporters and most trusted advisers. Whenever I have a tough decision to make he's one of the first people I call. I value his opinion and insight that much. He's helped me get through many tough times, even during his two battles with Stage 4 cancer. When you listen to today's episode I hope you'll understand why I hold this man in the highest regard. Topics discussed include: The Sugar Ray Leonard attitude [8:08]. Growing up in the 80's and 90's [12:09]. How one tiny decision can change the course of your life [15:47]. A ridiculous game of "would you rather?" [21:57]. Moving from Glasgow to NY to Cali [28:01]. How to navigate through anxiety and depression [38:09]. Why being on the show made him so uncomfortable [43:33 & 1:42:50]. His unique approach to goal setting [46:30]. His insightful take on making decisions [59:57]. How to manage and deal with staff [1:02:12]. The "is she hot?" story about meeting his wife [1:04:27]. Opening and running one of the top gyms in the US [1:05:44]. How to break into the fitness industry [1:06:20]. The mindset involved in beating cancer… twice [1:08:57].

Everybody has fears. They cause us anxiety and keep us awake at night. Most of these fears are imagined. They aren't real. Mark Twain said, "I am an old man and have known a great many troubles, but most of them never happened." Those who succeed in life and find happiness are those who can overcome their fears. They can separate real from imagined. They face the fear and move forward. Those who cannot will remain stagnant, frustrated and crippled. This is not the life you want. In this episode, I sit down with the author of Life Unlocked, and Total Brain Makeover, Dr. Srini Pillay. We discuss exactly how you can become your best self. Topics include: Why you don't do what you know you should be doing [5:16]. The expectation of failure [11:03]. Essential questions to ask yourself [15:15]. The science of productivity and the period of un-focus [21:01]. The difference between conscious and unconscious fear [31:28]. The effect that social media and news has on your brain [38:30]. How to reframe negative thought patterns [46:41]. The REAL law of attraction [51:42]. How to set goals that you can actually achieve [56:55]. His take on visualization, affirmation and mediation [1:04:46]. What to do to optimize your brain health and neural function [1:07:45].

About 8 years ago I was hospitalized with panic and anxiety attacks. I made some major changes to my life immediately after…but old habits have a way of sneaking back in if you don't stay on top of things. Last December I felt myself slipping only I didn't do anything about it. I kept soldiering on and trying to plow through like I always do. Big mistake. Come mid January my anxiety and stress was bubbling over and nearly at an all time high. I was in desperate need of a break. In this episode my good friend, actor Jay Jablonski joins me for a candid discussion on what went wrong, how I caught it, and how you can also unf*ck yourself.

You want to be jacked, but aren't seeing the gains you want? Doctor Kirk Parsley dives into the main problem that can be holding you back- sleep. Doc Parsley served as an Undersea Medical Officer at Naval Special Warfare Group One. He is a former SEAL and served as Naval Special Warfare's expert on Sleep Medicine. Doc's philosophy is simple; in order to optimize our health and get the most out of our bodies and minds, we must live more closely to the way we evolved as a species. Many diseases and disorders that we accept as "inevitable" in modern society are unnecessary complications of poor sleeping habits, living in a toxic environment, eating foods we were not designed to digest, and allowing stress to overwhelm us. Doc and I sat down recently to discuss everything you need to know about how to optimize your sleep. Topics Include: His interest in sleep, his experience with the Navy SEALS, and how his career began [3:03]. Slept adaption, sleep deprivation, and overall performance [12:37]. Paying back sleep debt, fact or myth? [18:39]. How many hours of sleep is ideal for performance [20:56]. The circadian rhythm, body temperature and his recommendations on training for the average guy [22:32]. Adrenal fatigue and its impact on deep sleep [27:44]. How many days a week someone should workout intensely [31:14]. The evolution of nutrition and Doc's philosophy on high and low carb intake [35:09]. Intermittent fasting, additional stressors and sleep [47:22]. Testosterone production during deep sleep [54:23]. Advice for people who work overnight shifts like cops and doctors [1:00:38]. How Doc Parsley uses his Sleep Remedy [1:07:45]. How the blue light of electronic devices can help or hinder sleep hygiene and ritualization [1:12:45].

Want more time, more money, more freedom, and more fun? Then this podcast episode is for you. As a long time Bruce Lee fan, I've always been an advocate for simplicity and minimalism. When things get too complex or I start accumulating too much physical or mental clutter I'm never quite as happy. I'll never forget the first time I saw the movie, Fight Club. It was like an epiphany when I heard Tyler Durden say, "We buy sh*t we don't need with money we don't have, to impress people we don't like." He talked about how the things we own end up owning us. About the ability to let that which does not matter truly slide. My mind was blown and my life changed. Later I read several books on the concept of minimalism, essentialism, and the importance of simplicity and a singular focus, but I'm human and can slip up, which is why it was perfect timing to sit down with Ryan Nicodemus of The Minimalists. He is one of the leading voices in the minimalist world and one of the stars of the new documentary, Minimalism. We talk about how saying no to certain things can open up so much more time, money, freedom and fun in your life. In this episode we discuss: "The Junk Drawer" and his trick to saying no and staying clutter free [2:52]. How he came to the decision to avoid living paycheck to paycheck [4:28]. The reality of selling cell phones and the idea of buying happiness [5:30]. His best friend and the introduction to Minimalism [7:55]. The definition of a packing party and prioritizing needs vs. wants [11:45]. How the blog "theminimalist.com" came to be [13:44]. How removing material items impacted his life [14.22]. Fear, monetizing the blog, and being a barista [16:14]. Traveling while making $21,000 a year [19:33]. The book tour and living in Missoula, Montana [20:55]. His philosophy on "Good Debt" and responsibility [23:52]. The first steps to living a life of minimalism [25:33]. How time is spent, building relationships and a no excuse approach to living a healthy life [29:04]. Avoiding the black hole of social media, advertising and comparing yourself to others [32:51]. His rule before making a purchase [39:53]. His daily rituals and/or routines that he must complete [42:04]. The benefits of developing the habit of mediating [43:18]. What clothing he keeps in his closet and tricks to keep them fresh [44:46]. Life rules that are unique to him [47:59]. The value of digital vs. hard copy book collecting [51:15].

As soon as I read one article by Dr. John Rusin I knew I had to have him on the podcast. He just gets it. And our training philosophies couldn't be any more aligned. I found myself nodding my head and saying, "Yes, yes, YES!" as I read each sentence. It's easy to tell someone to just do some big compound movements and go heavy. That doesn't take a genius. But if you want to avoid injuries and maximize your performance over the long term there is so much more to it. You've gotta pay strict attention to the preparation phase. And the sequencing of the entire training session is key. If you follow most of the normal advice out there you'll most likely get hurt at one point or another. But Dr. John Rusin joins me on the podcast today to change all that. Topics covered include: Why most pre-workout warm ups suck How to actually foam roll properly What commonly used warm ups make you worse The 3 issues you need to address for optimal performance How to prevent or fix lower back pain The perfect ratio for shoulder health What you have to do before big, compound lifts The 6 phases of the ultimate workout How to fire up your nervous system properly Are machines good or bad What's the optimal training frequency The big misconception about body part splits How to train the rotator cuff properly Why you need to strengthen your feet and ankles How to train glutes properly for the jean-filling look you want The problem with chin ups And so much more This episode is brought to you by Organifi.

They used to always sell us on The American Dream. You spend an inordinate amount of money to go to college and get a degree. Then you spend the next decade or so paying that off. But supposedly you'll get a really good job with that really expensive piece of paper they give you at graduation. And then you "buy" a house that costs way more money than you have. And you pay the bank to live there for the next 20-50 years. But you'll have "security" and will be able to "put down roots." You'll get married, have a white picket fence and 2.5 kids. If you work hard until you're 65, they tell you, you can retire and live it up. It all sounds great. It's just not the world we live in anymore. You can't count on school, the government or anyone else to provide you with the American dream and your perfect life. You have to do it. You are the founder, president and CEO of YOU, Inc. Run that shit.
