What is going on, everyone. Welcome to the fit, healthy, and happy podcast. I'm your host, Josh, here with my co-host.

KG in the house. In the his-e. In the hise. In the hise. I'm here. And today we got a super fun episode.

You know, we were talking about this in the gym. Today's episode is going to be about five things you are overthinking in the gym. I love that. I think sometimes a lot of people maybe resort to just using the elliptical or treadmill or just like basically doing nothing because they're like overthinking things. And we want you guys to all get great results. And if you stop doing these five things, I think you'll get better results for sure yeah so we sat down and we kind

of listed out you know the top things that we hear people struggle with you know that maybe they're

wasting too much time on and we just have simple answers for you so i'm sure this will resonate

with everyone because even there's there's a couple of these that i think even me sometimes i

overthink um so i think the first one and and this is the biggest one, a lot of people

overthink if their muscles are fully rested. Now, what I mean by this is, even I have so many clients

who go, oh, I can't train, I can't do my chest today because I did arms two days ago. So my triceps

are sore and like they're not going to be in the best pace. It's going to hit my bench. And even myself, like I feel I fall victim of this all the time. You know, like if I do shoulders or something and then I end up doing chest the next day, I go, oh, the pre-fatigue on the shoulder and the tricep, like how am I going to be able to be get my strongest most insane self you know even when i'm not doing percentage about the base

training and you know, even when I'm not doing percentage of base training. And, you know, sometimes I think so many people just overthink it. Or even for me, I've struggled with needing to cram workouts. You know, like, let's say I have to do all five workouts in a row because I'm gone for a weekend or I'm busy or something like that. You know, and like perhaps I'll do legs and then I'll hit upper. then legs again, I'll be like, oh, I'm still sore. Can I do it? I think so many people are

just overthinking it. At the end of the day, it's just good, you know, to get in your workouts, you know, not put too much thought into it. Of course you want to like kind of balance things out and spread muscle groups the best you can in your programming but there's always going to be a small

degree of overlap saying so you know you don't necessarily just want to do legs legs two days in a row

and then do three upper bodies in a row that's not going to work the best so you know try and um kind of split things up you know a great split is push pull legs that's a very easy um format to kind of follow but even if you think about that, you know, if you're doing pull, some of your pulling

movements may involve your legs like deadlifts and squats. It's okay to get a little overlap. It's okay sometimes, you know, to do push-ups two days in a row. Don't spend so much time overthinking it to the point where you don't even want to train muscles and you're scared and it gets in your head and it limits you. and even I think Kyle has a fun story with a client.

Yeah, I mean, this one gentleman was a firm believer that if he's doing backwork, there's

literally no way he can do biceps at the end and was just so stuck on not doing that, you know,

not doing that split. And I was explaining that I believe this is a perfect split because, you know,

you're already doing some

pulling movements and your biceps already activated. May as well finish off with them. And, you know, obviously pull day is fantastic. And then push day, I really did not like doing chest and then and then triceps at the end. He felt he had to do biceps. And to me, I was like, this doesn't make sense. like sure you can do like a full body thing but just to split it up like this for no apparent

reason really makes makes no sense um so i i tried my hardest to kind of persuade uh against believing that because i feel like i hear it a lot and even for myself you know we're doing two leg days now a week which which is pretty gnarly. So Tuesday's the first leg day and then Thursday's

the next leg day. And although, you know, there's still a little bit of soreness, obviously you don't want to make it to the point where like you can't walk and then you try to do it again. That doesn't make sense. But, you know, by being able to use my hypervolt and stretch out a bit more and mobilized, I'm able to prepare myself for this Thursday leg day, which we did today.
