BODY WEIGHT STRENGTH TRAINING

  • Jerry has been on the show before.
  • He is a body weight strength trainer.
  • Since 2010, he has been pretty low carb.
  • Normally, he’s around 75 grams a day.
  • He doesn’t feel that he builds muscle better when he is medium carb vs. low carb.
  • Resistance training plus adequate protein is what you need for muscle mass.
  • You have to want to be healthier — and to exercise, you have to make yourself do something you might not want to do.
    • It’s easier when you don’t need a gym…
  • His focus is on gaining muscle and getting fit without a gym.
    • He knew when he had his second child he wouldn’t have time to go to the gym and didn’t want to get the equipment.
    • He fell in love with the minimalist approach!
  • Jerry recommends a pull up bar and gymnastics rings for your at-home equipment.
    • You can use these for rowing, for example.
  • It’s so important to get away from a sedentary lifestyle.
    • His exercise style, which he details, just gets you on your feet — and that’s most important.
    • He has lots of videos on YouTube, too.
  • Start with two days a week, and go from there.

THE GYM BRO

  • Nowadays, many go to the gym and spend a lot of time sitting there.
  • That might be fine, but they’re also consuming junk while they do it.
  • Things like pre-workout and others are full of sugar and completely worthless, anyway!
  • Products like this are targeted toward the ‘gym bro.’ Don’t fall for it.
    • Simply put, it’s just a type of bro science.
  • For most people, you don’t need to take a lot of creatine (if any) if you eat animal proteins.
    • Vinnie doesn’t take any and JT doesn’t think everyone should.
