Summary
Another versatile podcast covering multiple topics! First we dive into how to break your own mental blocks and barriers in the gym, so that you can get past plateaus that are hindering your progress. Then we dive into reverse dieting, specifically discussing how to know when you're actually done or if you should continue pushing further along. Finally, we finish with some supplement talk! We break down turkesterone and Cody shares his opinion of whether or not the supplement claims are accurate and legit, or just purely marketed bullshit.

1:45 - How do you factor in the MENTAL side of things when it comes to strength in your actual 1RM? For some context, I’m a female who has a max 255 squat, 285 deadlift, & 155 bench & I know that i am PHYSICALLY strong enough to do more weight (my PRs are only 7-9 RPE), but every time I go for a new 1RM, I have this mental block and can’t seem to do it. Any suggestions on how to get past this and/or accurately estimate my actual 1RM? Thanks so much!
13:05 - I have been following your podcast for a little while and have been inspired to start a reverse diet. I have been eating 1300 calories for 2 years and strength training without proper knowledge of how to properly fuel for performance or physique goal. I have been reverse dieting since November until now. I have reached 2050 calories with 150p, 260c, and 40f. Im not sure when to stop my reverse diet, I have gained 6 pounds through out the process. I feel great, my overall physique is better and my training performance has significantly increased. Should I continue to increase calories or go into a maintenance phase? Im afraid if I continue I will gain unwanted excess body fat, but I also want to see what strength levels I can reach, HELP!
19:10 - Thoughts on turkesterone as a natural supplement- efficacy and ethics in competitive natural bodybuilding (it’s not banned yet, but is on the WADA watch list) Seems harmless (with some potential cardiac and liver protective benefits) but like there’s not a lot of empirical research to support claims is crazy strength of muscle gains.
