Muscle Is King

What Happens After – Episode 2710

by Vinnie Tortorich

Episode 2710 – Vinnie Tortorich and Chris Shaffer discuss failing, getting back up, having”life into living” moments, what happens after, and more.

What Happens After

  • Vinnie has failed multiple times, but he fights back and keeps getting up. (4:00)
    • It’s not how many times you fall, but how many times you get up.
    • Vinnie explains how that philosophy extends to health and weight loss. (12:00)
  • You only really fail when you stop getting up. (15:00)
  • It’s not an issue to have some true Life Into Living, but what happens after. You have to get back into NSNG® immediately.
  • NSNG® is less about restriction and more about the fact that it is often easier to avoid certain foods in the first place than to constantly have to “get back on the wagon.” 
  • What you choose to LIL on should absolutely be special. It’s not “let’s grab a whole pizza” frequently. (20:00)
  • Wing Stop appears to have added sugar to French fries! (28:00)
  • Previously mentioned in episode 2707 were the Power Zone (glutes, hamstrings), Posture Zone (back), and Stability Zone (obliques). (30:00)
  • The two remaining Zones are the Mobility Zone (overhead press and face pulls) and the Grip Zone. (42:30)
  • Push-ups are the most overlooked exercise that is beneficial. (45:00)

One Foot In The Grave – Episode 2708

by Vinnie Tortorich

Episode 2708 – Vinnie Tortorich and Chris Shaffer welcome call-in guests to discuss motivation sparked by one foot in the grave, and pushback from family.

One Foot In The Grave

  • Social media concerns. (2:00)
    • Vinnie had an experience over X years ago regarding American Girl dolls. (4:00)

    • Carbohydrates really don’t help you build muscle; 5g of creatine is better. (43:00)
    • Some sports or competitions can be fueled with a small sugar trickle because blood glycogen gets used up so quickly.

Family Pushback

  • Scott is the next guest.
    • He has lost 325 pounds after starting NSNG® after hearing Vinnie on Mike Rowe’s podcast.
