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

KG in the house. With the decaf coffee today. With the decaf coffee. So Josh just made me a coffee and

cafefefe and unfortunately it's decaf. You know, it's nice to sip sip on something but as we were talking about in the last mailbox monday trying to get that um caffeine intake down and you know i really don't notice a difference right now some days it hits harder than others but it's one of uh my small challenges one of small uh josh's small challenges and got to make it happen yeah so for me i'm not trying to it down to zero, but I'm just trying to limit it, you know, to about 300 milligrams a day. The recommended dose, you know, kind of from the FDA is around 400. So I find 300 is about as much as I need to be optimal, you know, feeling good. Obviously coffee has, you know, a lot of health benefits to it as well. It's more so for me just just knowing am i in control of it or is it in control of me and what's an interesting conversation is i i said kyle remember kyle used to hate coffee and i used to kind of get him to drink it and now here he is and i feel like that's everyone i don't think anyone naturally sips the coffee and goes wow i love this love this. You know, this tastes so good.

This is exactly what I wanted.

I don't think that's anyone.

You have to kind of learn to love it.

And he was kind of saying he wishes he never got into it. And I mean, I kind of feel that. Like at first I'm like, eh, I like it. You know, coffee's so tasty. It's fun. It's a nice little pick me up in the day. But like he said, like he doesn't like that he's relying on it.

He kind of switches.

He went through his day and he didn't care and I can kind of get behind that.

Yeah. pick me up in the day but like he said like he doesn't like that he's relying on it he kind of switches he went through his day and he didn't care and i can kind of get behind that yeah i i mean it is what it is but it's just say like when you um one thing i'm actually doing is right now i'm down to 150 milligrams for the entire week and it's because i got like a little power lifting thing is yeah right no i'm sorry, right. No, I'm sorry, like each day like for the past week and a half. I was going to say that would be insane. There's zero for, that's like not even one small Starbucks. That'd be like a piece of dark chocolate. But it's because I found that pre-workouts when I have like the most intense scoop like 300 milligrams. Like I wouldn't feel it much. So we had the power power lifting competition it'll have taken place by now when this is out but it's on Saturday we're filming this on Wednesday so I want to like take some scoops of pre-workout I want to actually feel it I want to have some effect and that's kind of what you know if I was just going about my regular day the way I used to I don't think I'd be able to you know safely have as much as i want to be able to give me the benefits i need for the meat so yeah random side tango we love caffeine we love coffee but you know uh that's it's it yeah that's why i do wish we had some kind of way to engage because it'd be fun you know like i'd love to you know how something come up say in the podcast app saying you know do you wish you never had coffee because I'd be curious to see what people said but that's one issue with podcasts I'm sure that'll be addressed eventually but it's very limiting in how you can engage with us and you know you know sometimes we feel like we're talking to a wall yeah all the love we've gone on Instagram has been amazing so one of the best ways to really be a part of the community and even just today i posted for more questions for mailbox monday and everyone's

What's your quote?

My quote is, if you think lifting is dangerous, try being weak. Being weak is dangerous. And this, when I found it online, it said it was from Brett Contreras. I'm not sure exactly if he was the one who had said that. You know, I think I've heard it many times. but the reason I wanted to bring this up is because, you know, if you're listening to this podcast, you know how important strength training is to us. And we firmly believe that everyone should be doing it. You know, I've been engaging in a couple conversations here and there where sometimes people like are talking about how many times they've like been injured from lifting or just like, you know, the fact that they don don't think they need it and just like I always go back to the fact that I believe you truly have to be doing weight lifting you don't have to do to the point where you're deadlifting four or five hundred pounds a week like to the point that we're doing it but I do believe that one of the most important things you can do for just longevity and uh overall health and like there's just i could literally sit

here and talk about the benefits for days but you know if you don't have it in your routine you got to add

it in and you know instead of being weak you got to be strong uh just to have like overall healthy like

muscles bones like just overall body composition is amazing yeah that's awesome I have a little dad joke for you here, Kyle.

Let's hear it.

What does seven days without training make someone?

Week.
