Episode 2876: Vinnie Tortorich and Chris Shaffer speak to two callers about gaining muscle, cold plunges, and sticking to your plan.
Sticking to Your Plan
- Vinnie has a lot of questions for the first guest, who has an intriguing name and was home schooled. (4:00)
- Mackenzie learned about NSNG® through Mike Rowe’s podcast.
- His goal is to gain weight by putting on muscle, so he needs strength training advice. (14:00)
- Vinnie recommends the 2-day routine, and how he can do most of the exercises at home.
- Protein intake should be between 80 grams to 140 grams per day for muscle synthesis.
- Chris brings up a frequently asked question about cold plunges. (28:00)
- Cold plunges aren’t useless, they do have benefits; however, it doesn’t necessarily do all the things that is promised.
- It can be easy to fall into the “next big thing,” but avoid getting hyperfocused on a small percentage of gain.
- Dick is the second caller. (37:00)
- He’s been a follower of keto for quite some time.
- He has several health issues he is focusing on improving, including losing some weight.
- It’s all about sticking to your plan.
