The 80/20 Nutrition protocol is the most overused saying in nutrition. It works, but you have to earn it, understand the mechanics of macros, and then you can grow into an 80/20 protocol, not start there.   Step 1: Find maintenance calories. Step 2: Find the minimum amount of protein you need to build muscle. Step 3: Find the minimum amount of carbohydrate you need to sustain energy Step 4: Find minimum amount of fat you need for function, muscle repair, and energy. Step 5: Fill in the remaining calories with whatever you want without constantly going over maintainance.   You have to earn an 80/20 lifestyle, not start there. What is the 80/20 nutrition protocol. Why most people fail using it. Why you need to commit in order to be successful The goal is to go all in and own your decisions Why people struggle betting on themselves And more…   Anders Varner on Instagram Doug Larson on Instagram Travis Mash on Instagram   TRAINING PROGRAMS One Ton Strong - 8 Weeks to PR your snatch, clean, jerk, squat, deadlift,

This episode tells the story of Logan Aldridge. An adaptive athlete who has earned the title “the fittest one arm man on earth.” This title, as you can imagine, required a lot of sacrifice in more than one aspect. And the way that Logan tells that story... Is nothing short of inspiring.    In this episode we talk about how he lost his arm, what working out is like with 1 arm, some of his ridiculous PR lifts, and so much more. To say that you’ll be motivated after hearing this may be the understatement of the year.  ---------------------------------------------------------------- Show notes: http://www.shruggedcollective.com/rc-ep109 ---------------------------------------------------------------- ► Subscribe to Shrugged Collective's Channel Here http://bit.ly/BarbellShruggedSubscribe

This weeks episode is with Anders Varner (host of barbell shrugged). I wanted to have Anders on the show to basically highlight some of his favorite moments from the almost 100 podcasts that he’s recorded this year. Essentially creating a greatest hits list.    We spend about 15 minutes on one particular piece at a time so there’s really no down time for non-knowledge bombs. Everything is a highlight reel, which makes it super easy and fun to listen to the whole time.

What’s the importance of squatting?   If you were to ask the Spartans, they would likely say it was essential to getting up off the toilet and that’s about it. Hundreds of years ago, humans didn’t need “organized exercise” and daily training was done by hunting your food or preparing for sport. Thanks to the luxury of grocery stores and modern convenience we now know that supplementing functional life patterns with training is essential for health and longevity.   So, what does this mean for the average gym goer? Well the truth is you’re likely over-training the squat.   In this episode we are talking to ActiveLife coaches Dr. Ray and Larry Gaier about how the squat is commonly overused. We discuss the psychological training patterns and influence of the ego, the misconception of how much strength is truly needed in order to produce power and the movements you should be training (not squatting), if you want to tap into your true potential.  Minutes: 3:45 – What is the purpose of squatting? 10:00 – Determine

Anthony Trucks, is now a motivational speaker, who encourages people to hustle and reach their full potential.   In this episode of Barbell Shrugged, Anders Varner and Doug Larson discuss:   The definition of adversity   Watching your mom leave you at the age of 3   Overcoming adversity and finding football   A career ending injury and finding the next step   Overcoming the ego and how it nearly cost Anthony his marriage   How to live your best life and taking action   And more…   Anthony Trucks on Instagram   Anders Varner on Instagram   Doug Larson on Instagram   TRAINING PROGRAMS   One Ton Strong - 8 Weeks to PR your snatch, clean, jerk, squat, deadlift, and bench press   20 RE

Eric Byrnes is a former MLB star who is now on the MLB Network. Last summer, in order to bring attention to the lack of PE in our schools, Eric swam, ran, and rode across the United States from San Francisco to New York City, and the documentary he created, Let Them Play, is awesome. Eric came on to chat about the lack of PE in schools and the creation of his film.

In this week, Danny Rios and Ben Walker are back to the show and we're going to talk about how to build your coaching business. Enjoy!

In life and in business we have to make a lot of tough decisions. Sometimes to get closer to our goals you have to quit that very thing that makes you money right now. As scary as some of these scenarios may sound, they are absolutely crucial to your success in becoming exactly what you want be. Nancy and myself talk about some of the things that we had to quit, that eventually lead to our biggest breakthroughs.    Be sure to checkout gymryan.com to get details on my next keto cycling challenge and check out my latest training ebooks!   ---------------------------------------------------------------- Show notes: http://www.shruggedcollective.com/rc-ep105 ----------------------------------------------------------------   ► Subscribe to Shrugged Collective's Channel Here http://bit.ly/BarbellShruggedSubscribe

Are you a coach who is passionate about creating solutions to the “bigger problems” you see in the gym everyday?    Are you still struggling on where to go to find the solutions?   Like many coaches out there, Daniel Hong had the fire to help but didn’t quite have the tools. When you listen to Daniel speak about his commitment to excellence you will have little doubt that he would eventually get exactly what he needed to crush the 1-on-1 business and change the lives of others.   In this episode we talk about the problems he heard day-to-day while coaching classes and his frustration with the lack of time to solve them. We discuss the mindset required to set the right price for a 1-on-1 session, what really happens when you discount your prices, plus what to do when you know that the group setting is no longer serving you.   Did we mention, Daniel was able to do all of this before even starting our Immersion course by just watching a short video?    Minutes: 5:00 - The invisible gorilla 11:00 - Creating the v
