How to Gain 8 Pounds in One Workout | Diet and fitness marketing material is littered with outrageous claims about weight loss and muscle gaining. Some marketers would actually have you believe that you could gain 20 pounds of muscle in a month, or 40 pounds of muscle in 6 months. Brad Pilon and I did a video showing how Brad gained a legitimate 8lbs of lean mass in 1 workout! This isn't a lie or a joke, Brad actually gained 8lbs of measurable lean body mass in about 1 hour. So you're probably asking yourself "how could this be?" The answer is simple...if you understand how lean mass is measured and the difference between lean body mass and muscle mass. In this podcast we replay the "how to gain 8lbs in one workout' teleseminar (for those of you who might have missed it. We discuss the main points to look for namely: 1. Don't believe everything you hear or even see 2. The difference between what is said and what you hear 3. And how your fitness and diet marketing BS radar is probably not calibrated correctly (in other words, you most likely will believe something that is not possible) John | 3/1/10 | Free | View In iTunes |

Change Your Body and Change Your Life | Many things happen to you when you make a dramatic change in your body including: 1. A new level of confidence 2. A shift in your perception of yourself and who you are 3. The presence you will command in any social situation 4. The respect you command from others 5. The things you believe are possible will change 6. Your overall health, vigor and energy 7. The ability to carry the momentum of success into other areas of your life In this podcast we talk about many of these items with our first place overall Adonis Effect transformation winner Ron Hansen. Ron shares with us his keys to success and how he won the contest. We'll also discuss the difference between working out and training and how every rep of every workout matters. John (p.s. from Brad, if you haven't seen this video or registered for Wednesday's teleseminar, go here now ==Brad Pilon Gains Crazy Lean Mass From 1 Weird Workout... we need to know how many more lines to add to our account as we'll already went over 2000... thanks!) | 2/22/10 | Free | View In iTunes |

You’ve Got To Have A Goal | Creating a real change in the look and shape of your body requires you to take action...taking action requires you to have a clear goal set...having a clear goal requires you to know what it is that you want. Although this sounds simple many of us may not be clear on what we want and end up spending time and effort but never getting the result we're really after. In this podcast we'll talk about getting to a clear goal and simplifying the process. We interview Jason Haynes, the winner of our BURN category and 2nd place overall, and well discuss how he managed to lose almost 30 pounds in 10 weeks and how he simplified his approach to training and diet and got big time results.

Implied Goals vs Your Goals | Health and fitness marketing is designed around a set of implied goals such as: muscle building, weight loss, enhanced performance, a heightened feeling of well being. These are the generic goals that most marketers assume you're interested in but nobody can choose your goals for you. Your goals have to be a personal choice. Once you've stated your personal goals clearly it becomes much easier to take action on them and avoid distractions that don't bring you closer to your goal. If you don't state a clear goal you can end up with dozens of unfinished projects, lots of money wasted on programs, supplements, food and books. And worst of all you can end up discouraged and thinking that your a failure. In this podcast we will discuss the following: 1. The implied goals of health and fitness marketing 2. Why it is important not to compare yourself to others 3. Accepting your genetic strengths and limits 4. Setting your own goals vs accepting an implied goal 5. Understand where you are right now and what to do to change it 6. Realistic vs unrealistic expectations John | 2/8/10 | Free | View In iTunes |

Your Body is Linked to Your Identity Whether You Like it or Not | The look and shape of your body plays a major role in you sense of identity and who you are. This is true whether you choose to believe it or not. Making a serious change to your body will open your eyes to this realization (if you didn't already know this) There are multiple factors that can influence your view of yourself including money, your relationships with women and your body shape and size. In this podcast we'll talk about: 1. How an irrational body image and specifically bodyweight goal can leave you depressed and unsatisfied 2. Accepting your genetic limits is essential to having a realistic body image 3. The trap of trying to and One-Up your way through life 4. Relative size vs absolute size. "One pound" of muscle looks different on each person 5. nbsp;Having the grace and class to lead other people by example with your personal transformation Show Notes: Muscle Mass accounts for approximately 50% of total Lean Body Mass.

Satisfaction With Your Body Starts With the Right Goals | Many people have a desire to change the look and shape of their body, and so they set a new body image goal. In many cases the goal we choose for our body image is not attainable and should have never been chosen as our goal in the first place...so how do so many of us end up with such unrealistic goals anyway? We tend to build an image of what we think we 'should' look like using pictures of athletes, bodybuilders, fitness models and celebrities. We seem to pool these images into an idealized form we think we can build and then pursue it never once questioning if it's even possible. nbsp;In many cases there is also a specific bodyweight associated with this goal body look. This however can be a recipe for years of frustration and disappointment if we cannot somehow build the body we thought we could. Once you accept a more realistic and achievable goal, the frustration can disappear and a new sense of calm confidence will set in. And make no mistake, I'm not talking about a lowered expectation for an unimpressive body. I'm simply talking about realigning the goal of your new body image with reality. In this podcast we will talk about: 1. Setting realistic goals 2. Why a specific bodyweight should never be your sole goal 3. Why you can't 'cheat' your genetics (with training or diet) and what happens when you try to 4. Focusing on the advantage your genetics gave you instead of the shortcomings This podcast features an interview with our BUILD category winner Pierre Farine who will teach us many of these lessons and more. Pierre also shares an extraordinarynbsp;thing that happened to him during his transformation. John | 1/24/10 | Free | View In iTunes |

The Bad Boy Formula – Carlos Xuma Spills His Guts | He walks into the bar... cool as a cucumber, luggage rolling behind him, smile on his face... ... which was strange considering he was over 6 hours late due to NUMEROUS flight delays and other "drive you crazy" set backs. But here he was, sitting in a bar, big a*s luggage in tow... like he owned the place. I could see it in his eyes. He could care less what people thought. "So what's the closest thing to eat around here?" he asks. Obviously, he took the cab straight from the airport to the bar all of us were at. I can respect that. I mosey over to the nearest group of women and ask the simple question, "We need some food... what do you recommend within walking distance". I get an answer, and Carlos Xuma, Mr Bad Boy, Mr. Inner Game - makes a beeline for the door, luggage rolling behind him as he embarked on his little mini quest to get his grub on. This was the first time I'd met Carlos in the flesh, although we've talked off and on for the better part of 2 years. And, naturally, this was the type of behavior I expected - calm, cool, collected, and unfazed by the days events. Is it a surprise that I'd have him on this week's podcast? It shouldn't be... We're about to expose the "Bad Boy Formula"... that dastardly sweet spot that gets the ladies tingling and explodes your confidence to new levels. Listen in as I extract the knowledge from Mr. Inner Game himself... and take your life to the next level... just by getting out of your own damn way. Confused? Don't be, it's all here. Stay Cool, Brad p.s. Carlos just set up some really insightful free videos for you to check out. I've seen them, you might want to check 'em out too. | 1/22/10 | Free | View In iTunes |

Changing Your Look Changes Your Game | Making a real change in your life requires 3 main factors 1) Goal 2) Deadline 3) Reward Every "to do" list and idea that you come up with is just a dream without a clearly stated goal. Setting goals that are too far off in the distance don't help create any momentum and leave you wishing and dreaming about 'some day' when it'll all happen for you. The goal most be achievable, within site, and clearly defined...and the most important factor to bring a goal to life isnbsp;setting is a deadline. Without a clearly defined deadline a goal is meaningless. Finally a goal must always be linked to a reward (otherwise what was the point of setting the goal in the first place) In todays podcast we'll talk about the goal of changing your body and the rewards that follow. As you see your body change you will also notice people changing the way they react to you. This change is profound and you will also notice that you must also change the way you act. You'll learn all of this while we profile one of our transformation contest winners Tristan Creswick 3rd place overall. We'll discuss: 1. How your look changes your inner game 2. How your look changes what you will and won't do 3. How your look changes how people act 4. What it takes to change your body 5. How low calories really have to go for effective weight loss 6. Social and psychological changes that come with a better body John | 1/18/10 | Free | View In iTunes |

Can You Eat Your Way To Bigger Muscles? | Browsing the fitness section of the magazine stand will reveal dozens of headlines that seem to be the answer to your fitness and dieting questions. I went to my local book store and browsed the fitness magazine section. Here is a sample of the headlines I found: "709 Tips to get you nbsp;Jacked" "Get abs you've always wanted in less than 1 hour per week" "16 Rules of fitness you MUST follow" "Low carb diet risk" "9 Biggest training traps to avoid" "15 Foods that fight fat" "78 simple ways to swap flab for brawn" This is just a small sample of all the headlines I found. It would probably take you the entire year to implement all of the "rules" and "tips" in these articles...and these are just the articles I found in the January issues! There are 11 months of magazines with "tips" "rules" and "tricks" to go for the rest of 2010. This is an example of how the fitness/diet industry has to keep you guessing and thinking that you're missing something important. All of this is in an effort to get you to buy this months magazine with the promise that you'll find the right tips to get you the results you're looking for. And of course, next months issue will have just as many tips tricks and secrets. Within this ongoing flood of tips and rules is the dogma of eating to get bigger muscles. This is one of the most persistent fallacies of the fitness industry. In this podcast we will deconstruct fitness headlines and get to the bottom of the eating to get bigger muscles fallacy.

Diet, Workout, Health? What Defines You? | There are many ways you can be defined, some of them you can't control like your height, age, race, where you were born. But there are many other things that you CAN control, like your career, education, how you conduct yourself in your relationships and your body shape. When it comes to influencing the look of your body things like your workout and your eating pattern are simply tools and not a definition of who you are, but the health diet/fitness industry try to convince you to define yourself in these terms. With a closer look you will realize that terms like "health" "nutrition" and "fitness" have no meaning without the specific meaning you give to them. Each one is a personal definition that you alone should make. In this podcast we'll discuss: 1. The definition of Health 2. The definition of Fitness 3. What defines you 4. How the 'health and fitness' industry uses ambiguity to sell you things you don't understand As long as you allow someone else to define each of these terms for you, you'll always be susceptible to another new diet or fitness marketing fad. Define yourself. John | 1/4/10 | Free | View In iTunes |

Gaining Weight vs Gaining Muscle | Gaining weight can be the result of adding muscle mass, fat mass, or water weight (in various forms). Many guys who are interesting in 'gaining weight' are actually interested in 'gaining muscle' and they assume additional muscle will translate into a heavier bodyweight. But how do you know for sure how much muscle you can add to your body and how much weight you could possibly gain? Factors to consider include: Age Somatotype Height Years of training experience The genetic material of your body is the most basic starting point and will tell most of the story as to how much 'weight' and 'muscle' you can gain. In this podcast we'll discuss: 1. Weight gain vs muscle gain 2. Why anyone wants to gain weight in the first place 3. The difference between how you look with a shirt on vs with a shirt off 4. The relationship between how much you weigh and how you look at that weight 5. The normal fluctuations you can experience in bodyweight on a day to day basis.

Eating for Weight Loss Over The Holidays | Eating during the holidays is usually associated with weight gain, but it doesn't necessarily have to be that way. You should be able to indulge in big holiday dinners as long as you plan your eating around that dinner accordingly. As we always say, every up needs a down. So if you're planning on having a few big christmas feasts at the end of this week, you should take it light on the days leading up to the big meal. Creating a calorie deficit throughout the week BEFORE you sit down to christmas dinner is a better strategy than waiting till after the holidays to work off the extra calories. #60;-- You and I both know the latter never works. In this podcast we'll talk about eating strategies that can work for weight maintenance and even weight loss over the holidays. We'll also help you identify when people are trying to hold you back from achieving your lifestyle goals and what to do about it. John | 12/21/09 | Free | View In iTunes |

How an Adonis Index Workout is Designed | At a glance, most workouts look very similar, with a bunch of numbers and words on a page. But if you take a closer look, there is much more than meets the eye to a well designed workout. Some of the elements that should be in a well designed workout program include: -Macro, meso, and micro-cycled periodized intensity volume and frequency. -Balance stimulus throughout all major muscle groups. -Progressive overload. -Periodic overreaching to overcome plateaus in strength. -Combination of strength, hypertrophy and strength endurance training. -Specific rest intervals and exercise ogranization. There are other components, but these are some of the major ones and in today's podcast, we'll explain how and why we put them into the Adonis Index Workout. John p.s. After tons of feedback, as of today, the AI Systems can ONCE AGAIN be tested out on a "Try Now, Pay Later" program... ... in other words, if you've been itching to get a hold of the full AI Systems but have been a little skeptical (as we all get nowadays), or if the holiday season has you a little lighter in the wallet... ... $4.95 gets you started today. Happy Holidays! | 12/13/09 | Free | View In iTunes |

Naturalistic Fallacy and How to Find Experts | There are many self proclaimed 'experts' in the field of human health, nutrition, exercise and relationships. But how do you know if these people really know what they are talking about? Credentials is at least a start but isn't the only thing to look at. Do the experts practice what they preach? On the other hand are they preaching too much about too many things they couldn't possibly know about? It seems to be that so called experts start to preach about more things than they are capable of knowing and quickly revert to the naturalistic fallacy to explain concepts outside of their area of expertise. In this podcast we'll discuss the naturalistic fallacy and how to spot when a so called expert is just feeding you a line of non-sense. We'll also talk about a practical way to tell if an 'expert' really knows what they are talking about or if they're just full of hot air. John | 12/6/09 | Free | View In iTunes |

Water Weight, Fat, Muscle, What is Signal vs Noise? | Claims in the health and fitness industry (and any industry for that matter) can be clinically or technically significant, but have no significance in the real world. In other words, something might have a significant effect in a laboratory setting, but will never be applicable to you in your daily life. This makes it difficult to tell what is a realistic and useful claim that you can incorporate into your daily routine for real results, and what is just marketing speak to get you to buy into something that you can never actually take action on or use. In this podcast we'll examine all of the following issues: 1 - The difference between real world significance and clinical significance 2 - Separating the signal from the noise: are the results that you are hearing about normal changes in human physiology that are simply being brought to your attention for the first time. 3 - The 80-20 principle and how 20 % of your effort will end up being responsible for 80 % of your results. 4 - Water weight: how water weight/retention is the big confounding factor in the way your body looks and how fitness and nutrition marketers take advantage of this to make claims that their products can do things that are not possible. 5 - Getting to the core principle of what works for weight loss.

Interval Training vs Steady State Cardio For Fat Loss – On Trial | In this podcast we review the popular claim that high intensity interval training is superior to steady state cardio for fat loss. The research supporting the claims you see and hear may not be what you think. The fact that a research paper is published doesn't mean it is accurate, and it rarely means it supports the claims the fitness and nutrition industry is trying to make from it. In this podcast we will deconstruct the claim about interval training and walk you through the most popular and commonly quoted research paper that supposedly 'proves' that interval training is the gold standard for fat loss. Get ready for another trip down the rabbit hole.
