If you're a coach, soloist, or small business owner, communicating your ideas is essential. But how do you make storytelling a part of your regular life and business? How do you tell stories that are meaningful and interesting to both you, and the people you serve? And, what do you do when you make a mistake or your work is misinterpreted in some way? In this episode, I explore all of this and more with my guest, Jason Leenaarts. Jason is the owner of Revolution Fitness & Therapy, a semi-private personal training studio in Northeast Ohio. He's an MNU certified nutritionist, author of two books available on Amazon and former host of the Revolutionary You podcast. Jason is an avid — and consistent — communicator, having maintained his blog for years, releasing weekly podcast episodes for six years before retiring his podcast, posting social content daily, and publishing two books. Through it all, he is honest and open about his own struggles including his past experiences with drug addiction, as well as the messiness and challenges of everyday life. If you want to bring more authenticity and personal storytelling into your brand and business communications, be more consistent with your writing, and navigate mistakes and pushback from others, check out this episode. We cover: - Why Jason chooses to speak openly about his experiences with drug addiction and his “colorful” past, and how that has impacted his business and his ability to help people - How to balance the personal vs the professional when it comes to storytelling. (And why your “what the hell, I'm just gonna write about the thing I care about” moments can be the most fruitful.) - How to write about stuff that interests you while also serving the needs and interests of your audience. - How Jason put out a podcast every week for 6 years — what he learned from it, and why he decided it was time to quit. - What happens when your content bombs and people misinterpret or just plain hate what you've said — and how to recover. - Jason's method for responding to criticism and how to use it to make your work better. - How to balance the need to ship your work with the value of putting out rigorous and intentional work. - What a regular writing practice can look like, and how to make time for it. - Why NOW is the time to put your ideas, your wisdom, your story out into the world — and exactly why it matters so much.

In this Podcast, I'll teach you EXACTLY how to get the most muscle growth out of every single rep you perform in the gym by exposing you to the 5 MOST COMMON mistakes made in the gym, preventing gains from being maximized, and then following that up I'll break down the 5 KEY PRINCIPLES that allow you to fully maximize muscle growth from your training.

Do you have core values? A set of principles you live by? Standards set for you to live your life at? If not, this podcast might feel like a gut punch… Most people continue to live life without considering the standards they live up to or the values they live by; most often because they've never sat down and taken the time to set standards or values to live up to or live by. But without doing so, you'll never understand what your full potential truly is, what true success means to you, or how to accomplish a sense of fulfillment and purpose in life. Which is what I hope to bring you in todays' episode, as I share 9 thought provoking statements that challenge the life of an average individual in a way that could shape their world view and determine their level of success. —

This is a JAM PACK Q&A! Cody jumps back on the mic to dive into a variety of training and nutrition questions, all of which will hit home for you, the listener, and the answers provided will give you practical and applicable strategies for improving your physique. Here's what's covered throughout the episode: When focused on building muscle and progressive overload, how would you recommend increasing volume week to week? If I add weight and the reps drop, that's technically less volume… Is that counterproductive? Or needed for long-term gains? Do you have any tips for maintaining muscle mass while doing a keto diet? What's the best way for a female intermediate lifter to gain 5 or so lbs of muscle w/ minimal fat gain (or possibly losing body fat while doing it)? During or after RED-S (Relative energy deficiency in sport) recovery, what approach to training would you recommend (both lifting and cardio)? So many influencers spew total BS info with regards to health and nutrition…. So how do you suggest we navigate this properly as consumers? Best tips for transitioning out of a deficit into maintenance? —

Today's episode dives into the science and what research says about: Building muscle while eating at maintenance; Monitoring glucose; Collagen supplementation. Collagen has several benefits for the human body, and supplementing your diet with collagen might benefit training performance. Dr. Brandon explains that collagen is helpful for the tendons, making them thicker and stronger. Blood glucose monitoring is also essential for the active individual, especially if this individual has a diet rich in carbohydrates and wants to optimize their intake to feel more energetic. When it comes to muscle growth, it is important to say that every person is unique, and what works for a beginner might not work for an advanced lifter. Dr. Brandon unpacks the best strategies to build muscle and gain strength in both scenarios: eating at maintenance and eating at a caloric surplus. Tune in to learn more!

This is a "Coaching Series" Podcast, where Coach Cody is going to dive deep into a specific topic and truly coach you through it; so you can learn, apply, and begin to achieve better results! And for this episode, Cody teaches: The Hierarchy of Muscle Growth Effort — Research shows that if you don't train hard enough, you just won't achieve the best growth. Period. No matter what else you do optimally, it's ineffective without getting close enough to failure. Volume — This is the biggest equalizer inside hypertrophy research and the most important aspect for muscle growth, on paper/inside programs, is volume. Specifically being the amount of total sets done per muscle, per week. But even beyond that, it's just total work done that trumps all. Exercise Selection — Finding the right exercises for you is key. This matters most because of your personal posture and limb lengths, your mind muscle connection, your goals, and your ability to progress the movements overtime. Varying Rep Ranges — We know that we can build muscle in any rep range, but there's also plenty of research supporting different benefits for the higher and lower rep ranges. This leads us to believe there's more benefits to doing ALL rep ranges, every week, compared to just choosing one range. Weekly Progressions — If an exercise can't be progressed, it's unlikely to produce continued gains overtime. So we need to not only choose the best exercises for this, but also choose the easiest form of progression inside your periodization plan and programming methods. Diet and Supplements — Calories, protein, water, sodium, creatine, nutrient timing, etc…. Aerobic Capacity — Cardio DOES matter here! It improves your energy systems, which can help fuel utilization, and also your recovery-ability, which can help you do more volume. It's also been shown to improve blood flow to the muscular system. —
