Making Your Workout Count

  • The New Year always feels like a fresh start. (3:00)
  • What’s the story with “one set to failure”? (9:00)
    • It’s not easy if you are doing it correctly.
    • You may need a partner, or someone to “spot” you. (12:00)
  • They discuss “The Colorado Study” with Arthur Jones. (13:30)
  • What should someone expect to gain in a year? (15:15)
  • It’s important to change things up from time to time to avoid a plateau. (26:00)
  • Vinnie discusses whether it’s necessary to go to failure each time. (27:00)
  • Vinnie discusses how to maximize the quality of a lift. (32:00)
  • But what exactly is “going to failure”? (35:00)
    • It’s better to do your exercises on machines as opposed to free weights when you plan to go to failure. (37:00)
    • For safety, it’s best to do your free weights and barbells on days you aren’t planning to go to failure. (40:00)
  • It needs to be said: put your phone away and focus! Too many people waste a workout on their phones and take too long a break between sets!
  • Be the best version of yourself and leave the excuses at home. (47:00)
  • Exercise is attainable; you just have to want to do it and stop the excuses. (54:00)

Lying to Yourself

  • There is a person Vinnie has spoken to that is a heavy drinker, but wants to “prove that I have healthy blood.” (6:30)
    • They are trying to manipulate health numbers by temporarily quitting drinking.
    • Vinnie has told the person they are lying to themselves about what it takes to be healthy.
    • You can’t lie yourself into a healthy diet.
  • Using something like a GLP-1 is no different: you’re tricking your body into a specific response, but if the lifestyle doesn’t change, the weight will return when the drug is stopped. (13:00)
  • We don’t advocate smoking tobacco or pot because the long-term use is damaging. (16:00)
    • However, Vinnie and Chris discuss the odd and inconsistent tobacco use rules.
  • Fitness: are we doing it “wrong” (according to an article in the New York Times)? (29:00)
  • So many people join the gym, but something as simple as walking is great! (34:00)
    • Adding some weight can help, especially uphill.
    • Get up and get moving! (39:00)

  • Someone asked Vinnie about Quest nutrition bars and chips (35:00)
    • Vinnie has been rallying against protein bars for years. They are glorified candy bars.
    • The Quest chips are not doing you any favors, either. They review the ingredients list.
  • They discuss the margin of error used to make a nutritional panel.  (46:00)
  • The FDA has new definitions of “healthy” on a label and parameters of when the word can be used on packaging. (47:00)
    • It’s promising that steps are being taken, but only time will tell if they are beneficial and if the lying on packaging stops.
