Welcome to Motivation Monday, where every Monday we answer all of your questions and have some real talks about life & fitness & get you fired up for the week! In this episode we talk about when to end a bulk, the truth about fibre and why you weigh-in higher when sick.

Josh quote: "If you show me the information and it makes sense, I'll just change my mind, I don't get married to my beliefs, that's one of my things I'll say is don't marry your beliefs. You should date them." - Dr Layne Norton

Kyle quote: It’s better to acknowledge a hard truth and face it head on rather than pretend it doesn’t exist”

What has us excited or intrigued:

Client shoutout: Brooke- well over 100 pounds down

Question 1- Why do you reccomend fibre so much for fitness?

Question 2- Why do I weigh in heavier when I am sick?

Question 3- If you have been bulking and in a surplus 250-500 calories how do you know when to do a cut? Is there a body fat percentage range you would recommend? or if the strength gains start stalling and for how long?

Thanks for listening! We genuinely appreciate every single one of you listening.

0:04.2	I'm like, okay, there's a pretty low chance that the foods are quality.
0:07.7	Another cool thing about fiber, it has been showed to actually improve all-cause mortality.
0:12.3	So your chances of just dying from anything lowers significantly the more fiber you eat, which is awesome.
0:18.2	No matter what we do, there are so many things pulling us
0:21.2	in different directions. Don't marry your beliefs. You should date them. It's better to acknowledge
0:25.2	a hard truth and face it head on rather than pretending it doesn't exist. What's going on,
