| 0:00.0 | What's going on everyone? Welcome to another episode of the fit, healthy, and most of all happy |
| 0:05.4 | podcast. I am your coach and host Josh here with this co-host and co-coach KG and I'm in the house. |
| 0:12.6 | Today we're talking body recomp. We haven't brought this up in a while, but essentially what a |
| 0:17.1 | body recomp is when you is when you lose fat and gain muscle at the same time |
| 0:22.0 | maximizing your body composition so getting both of these incredible things |
| 0:25.8 | Kyle's going to take this one away. Yeah so this is something that unfortunately a lot of |
| 0:29.9 | people just think like when you're going to put on muscle when you're going to put on size you |
| 0:33.0 | have to be in a massive surplus. You've got to just gain a lot of fat. And I used to believe this too. And of course, |
| 0:38.8 | like that will be a little bit more optimal if you are looking to just get absolutely jacked and, you know, just lift these crazy numbers. Like you'll be able to do it quicker, right? And when people think dieting, losing body fat, they think that it needs to be this crazy big thing. Their calories are super low, no energy, all this other stuff. |
| 0:55.4 | But it has been proven over and over again that you can definitely achieve both things at once. |
| 1:01.1 | And we've actually helped hundreds of people, actually thousands in this situation based on a number of criteria, a number of parameters, I guess you could say. |
| 1:08.3 | And we just wanted to share that with you today. |
| 1:10.4 | But essentially, if you are someone who's been training for 20 years, you've been doing everything perfect, it's going to be challenging for you. I'm not going to just, you know, I'm not going to overlook that. And I just wanted to share, though, that there are a number of people that can still do this incredible thing. And I'm going to list off that who this is typically for when it comes to doing a body recomp. So it's most suitable for someone who's a new lifter. I know there's a lot of people out there who just started lifting who want to make amazing changes. They just got into the gym. New lifters are awesome. If someone's obese or overweight and they're just looking to kind of do both things at once, it's definitely a lot easier as well. And that's something to consider someone who's detrained. So someone who got super jacked took a month off or took a while off, right? Not just a month, but took a time off because of different things happening in their life, injuries, whatever it is. That's another great category that can do this incredible thing. And then also even just like the lazy lifter. So I'm thinking someone who just maybe didn't have the proper training program, who's always been on their phone when they've been working out. They've just, they've never actually pushed themselves, right? Like this is definitely something that you can do. And also anyone who takes animal steroids, which I mean, it's a given. You're going to be able to do some incredible things with that. And I definitely don't recommend. But yeah, moral of the story is the biggest thing and the most important thing to focus on is going to be training. So you really want to make sure you're focused on progressive overload. You're doing the right movements. Like you're actually doing movements with purpose there's intention you got good mind muscle |
| 2:34.7 | connection typically speaking 10 to 20 sets per muscle group per week is a good place to aim but once |
| 2:40.3 | again when it comes down to it if you look at a car let's say the car you know the engine's going to be |
| 2:44.7 | lifting and the fuel is going to be nutrition like these things like the you know obviously |
| 2:48.9 | the car will work better with solid nutrition with |
| 2:51.7 | you know better nutrition just it's kind of like good fuel it's going to help it run better but at the |
| 2:55.9 | same time without the actual engine so lifting you're not going to be able to just see the results like |
| 3:01.4 | so many people unfortunately just focus on one thing or another they go hand in hand for sure |
| 3:05.6 | but lifting is going to be the one of the greatest things it's going to be your engine within your body that helps you gain that muscle that helps you lose that fat. Resistance training is going to be one of the greatest things. If you just focus on cardio, this isn't going to work as well. If you just focus on nutrition, so strength training will be number one and it's so important. To add on on here the importance of training is actually changes |
