Weightlifting Cycles for Beginners

When during the year do you start thinking about your Summer body?If you're waiting until Spring to think about it, visualize it, and act towards building it, you're waiting too long.Building your Summer body really starts in the late Winter. Why? It takes several months for the body to adapt to activity, lose weight, build muscle, etc. There is no healthy scenario where you can drop significant amounts of weight in short periods of time.Before you address trying to build a Summer body, give some thought as to WHY you're building a Summer body.Are you frustrated, pissed off or annoyed that you're out of shape and Summer just makes it worse? Are you constantly uncomfortable in the Summer because it's hot and humid, and you're revealing more of your body than normal because you're wearing shorts and short sleeve shirts?These are common feelings that many people experience.There is good news though!All of this can be changed and you CAN build the ultimate body that you want to achieve, if you straighten a few things out and get your mindset in the right place.Give this one a listen and make sure to let me know if it resonated with you.Pass this along to that one friend in your life that NEEDS to hear the words.Rate, review and subscribe in iTunes if you got value out of this episode.Join my FREE Facebook Group - Crafting a High Performance Body and Mind: https://www.facebook.com/groups/2138351223055289/Connect with Gordon (and for coaching inquiries):Instagram: @gordon.lightFacebook: @gordon.a.lightMind Body Academy Application (my online fitness coaching academy): https://gordonlight.typeform.com/to/H2DDZcSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/strengthofbodyandmind.

Are you constantly uncomfortable in the Summer because it's hot and humid, and you're revealing more of your body than normal because you're wearing shorts and short sleeve shirts?These are common feelings that many people experience.There is good news though!All of this can be changed and you CAN build the ultimate body that you want to achieve, if you straighten a few things out and get your mindset in the right place.Give this one a listen and make sure to let me know if it resonated with you. <ul><li>Pass this along to that one friend in your life that NEEDS to hear the words.</li></ul> <ul><li>Rate, review and subscribe in iTunes if you got value out of this episode.</li></ul> <ul><li>Join my FREE Facebook Group - Crafting a High Performance Body and Mind: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/2138351223055289/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">https://www.facebook.com/groups/2138351223055289/</a></li></ul> Connect with Gordon (and for coaching inquiries):Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/gordon.light/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">@gordon.light</a>Facebook: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/gordon.a.light" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">@gordon.a.light</a>Mind Body Academy Application (my online fitness coaching academy): <a href="https://gordonlight.typeform.com/to/H2DDZc" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">https://gordonlight.typeform.com/to/H2DDZc</a>Support this show <a href="http://supporter.acast.com/strengthofbodyandmind" rel="payment nofollow" target="_blank">http://supporter.acast.com/strengthofbodyandmind</a>.

This will provide the insight you'll need to understand what is so important about post-workout nutrition.The main two takeaways you will get out of this episode are:1) What specifically to take post-workout in order to replenish glycogen stores AND stimulate protein synthesis as fast as possible2) What happens if/when you DON'T replenish those nutrients within your post-workout anabolic window, and why it's a bad idea to skip out on proper nutrition during this timeSome products (and links to buy) mentioned in this episode:1st Phorm Phormula-1 Isolate Whey Protein Powder1st Phorm Ignition Post Workout Carbohydrate PowderIf you got value out of this episode, pass this along to a like-minded friend and don't forget to rate, review and subscribe in iTunes!Connect with Gordon:Instagram: @gordon.light // @sobamgearcoTwitter: @gordonalightSnapchat: @gordonlightFacebook: @gordon.light.9 // @sobam_gear_coSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/strengthofbodyandmind.

You Have More In The Tank Than You Think

Over a 14-month span in 2008-2009, I lost 80 LBs and completely transformed my body and life.During this time I learned a LOT about what I am capable of, what it takes to succeed, and most of all I learned the ability to be humble about recognizing that I didn't previously know everything about health, nutrition and fitness (even though I thought I did).In this 4-part series, I am revealing the biggest lessons learned and ah-hah takeaways from my journey through an 80LB fat loss transformation.This first episode, which is going to hit home with many of you, is about how the strategy is NOT what you think it is.This episode is GOLD, I promise you. There are a lot of takeaways and eye-opening realizations that I experienced that will likely resonate with you.Give this one a listen and make sure to let me know if it resonated with you.Pass this along to that one friend in your life that NEEDS to hear the words.Rate, review and subscribe in iTunes if you got value out of this episode.Join my FREE Facebook Group - Crafting a High Performance Body and Mind: https://www.facebook.com/groups/2138351223055289/Connect with Gordon (and for coaching inquiries):Facebook: @gordon.a.lightInstagram: @gordon.lightSchedule a Breakthrough Call with Me (my online fitness coaching academy): gordonalight.com/applySupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/strengthofbodyandmind.

EP100: What I Learned From Losing 80LBs in 14 Months (Part 1 of 4)

We are all born with a brain and a mind. But our PERSPECTIVE, our BELIEF, our ACCEPTANCE of what is likely, possible, probable, and impossible is based on a logical set of principles that we are groomed to operate by. Why is this? Why do we have an internal default setting for believing what is possible, what is not possible?This is nothing more than a framework that we are instructed to believe from a young age. Despite the best efforts of our parents and teachers, most people do not grow up being groomed to understand that truly any result that you want in life is possible, you just need to believe it and want it bad enough. Much like any bodybuilder can craft and sculpt their body, YOU can craft and sculpt your mindset to become a true believer of whatever you want. When you can achieve that, literally any fitness and health goal is possible.It all starts with building your mindset to believe what you want to be a reality.Give this one a listen and make sure to let me know if it resonated with you.Pass this along to that one friend in your life that NEEDS to hear the words.Rate, review and subscribe in iTunes if you got value out of this episode.Join my FREE Facebook Group - Crafting a High Performance Body and Mind: https://www.facebook.com/groups/2138351223055289/Connect with Gordon (and for coaching inquiries):Instagram: @gordon.lightFacebook: @gordon.a.lightMind Body Academy Application (my online fitness coaching academy): https://gordonlight.typeform.com/to/H2DDZcSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/strengthofbodyandmind.

Mindbuilding

If you've been listening to the podcast or following me for any length of time now then you probably know that I am a professional fitness coach and trainer. I help high performing men and women transform their body and fall in love with the results. My company, as some of you know, is called Mind Body Academy. Within that company, I have several programs but my main flagship program is the same name as the company, "Mind Body Academy". This is the program in which my clients enroll when they want to dominate their entire life of fitness, health, and vitality. So many people ask me about it and ask if it's a good fit for them to join. While I don't enroll everyone who applies, I do encourage everyone to apply to see if we're a good fit to work together. Within this episode, I get much deeper into the details behind all of that. Give this one a listen and make sure to let me know if it resonated with you.Pass this along to that one friend in your life that NEEDS to hear the words.Rate, review and subscribe in iTunes if you got value out of this episode.Join my FREE Facebook Group - The Art of Weight Loss: https://www.facebook.com/groups/2138351223055289/Connect with Gordon (and to apply to the Mind Body Academy):Facebook: @gordon.a.lightInstagram: @gordon.lightSchedule a Breakthrough Call to see if you're a good fit for the Mind Body Academy: gordonalight.com/applySupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/strengthofbodyandmind.

EP113: Will The Mind Body Academy Work For You?

What does your headspace look like?We all have LIMITED headspace at any given time. What you think about and what you choose to focus on is what occupies that headspace.Unfortunately, most of us aren't able to master our headspace 100% of the time, despite our efforts to do so. However, with enough practice and attention, we can invite WAY more thoughts, feelings, and emotions that promote progress, development and growth. I'm VERY stoked about this whole concept and idea, and how it plays into being consistently successful in reaching new heights in fitness and health AND holding on to previous achievements.Give this one a listen and make sure to let me know if it resonated with you.Pass this along to that one friend in your life that NEEDS to hear the words.Rate, review and subscribe in iTunes if you got value out of this episode.Join my FREE Facebook Group - Crafting a High Performance Body and Mind: https://www.facebook.com/groups/2138351223055289/Connect with Gordon (and for coaching inquiries):Instagram: @gordon.lightFacebook: @gordon.a.lightSchedule a Breakthrough Call with Me (my online fitness coaching academy): gordonalight.com/applySupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/strengthofbodyandmind.

Even if the circumstances aren't great.But when life is unpredictable, and not well understood, it provides the perception that it's hard and difficult.The reality is, though, that going into those situations that are unpredictable and not well understood is where ALL the growth and success happens, especially in health and fitness.Give this one a listen and make sure to let me know if it resonated with you.Pass this along to that one friend in your life that NEEDS to hear the words.Rate, review and subscribe in iTunes if you got value out of this episode.Join my FREE Facebook Group - Crafting a High Performance Body and Mind: https://www.facebook.com/groups/2138351223055289/Connect with Gordon (and for coaching inquiries):Instagram: @gordon.lightFacebook: @gordon.a.lightSchedule a Breakthrough Call with Me (my online fitness coaching academy): gordonalight.com/applySupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/strengthofbodyandmind.

EP98: Fear is Holding You Back From Success

Do you experience self doubt? Do you ever make so much progress towards something, and the further along you get, the harder it seems to get closer to the goal? Do you end up thinking WAY too much about what you're trying to achieve rather than actually take actions towards achieving it?Self doubt plagues us all, and it's what keeps most people from taking any action at all. When, in reality, if they had just put their head down and ignored the bullshit doubt in the back of their mind, and pushed forward to take small steps daily towards their goal, they would eventually get there.Losing 40 lbs doesn't happen overnight BUT you can't lose 40 lbs if you don't lose 1 lb first. You want to be lean and look great on the beach, or at the pool, or with your partner...well if you're 35% body fat now, you can't get to that goal without first getting to 34% body fat, and then 33%, and then 32%. The more you are able to ignore the magnitude of your goal, and the self-doubt behind achieving it, the more you will achieve and the more likely you'll actually get everything you wanted for your health, body and mind.

EP90: Overcoming Self Doubt

Do you struggle with portion control?Do you find yourself eating more per meal than you probably should?If you're like most busy professionals and high performers, you're short on time, and you can't dedicate every second of the day to thinking about portions of food.

Do you struggle with portion control?Do you find yourself eating more per meal than you probably should?If you're like most busy professionals and high performers, you're short on time, and you can't dedicate every second of the day to thinking about portions of food.

EP115: Do You Struggle with Portion Control?

I have LONG been a student of learning the pros, cons, ups and downs of total body training vs. split training.I've studied both. I've tested both on myself. I've tested both on other people I've discussed (at length) this topic with others going back over the past 14 years. The main punchline is that your goal, your ambition, and your expected outcomes MATTER to what you decide to do. It's incredibly important that you are thoughtful and specific about how you approach training.This episode is JAMMED with info on what makes these two training approaches different, and how (and when) to utilize each of them. Inside the episode I talk about 3 different weightlifting scenarios that I would use given 3 specific individuals with uniquely different "weak link" muscle groups. These are shown below:Example 1 (Legs and triceps are the weak links for this person):-Day 1: quads, hamstrings, calves, glutes-Day 2: chest+triceps-Day 3: back+biceps-Day 4: shoulders+triceps-Day 5: rest/cardio-Day 6: quads, hamstrings, calves, glutes-Day 7: chest+triceps-Day 8: back-Day 9: quads, hamstrings, calves, glutes-Day 10: biceps+delts-Day 11: rest/cardioRepeatExample 2 (Shoulders and chest are the weak link):-Day 1: shoulders+triceps-Day 2: back-Day 3: chest + biceps-Day 4: quads, hamstrings, calves, glutes-Day 5: rest/cardio-Day 6: chest+triceps-Day 7: back+biceps-Day 8: chest+abs-Day 9: shoulders-Day 10: quads, hamstrings, calves, glutes-Day 11: rest/cardioExample 3 (Arms are the weak link):-Day 1: back + biceps-Day 2: quads, hamstrings, calves, glutes-Day 3: chest + triceps-Day 4: shoulders + abs-Day 5: rest/cardio-Day 6: biceps + triceps ULTRA HYP day-Day 7: quads, hamstrings, calves, glutes-Day 8: back + biceps-Day 9: chest + triceps-Day 10: shoulders-Day 11: rest/cardioMy main takeaway is that I believe weightlifting is going to typically be your best friend for aesthetics and physique, especially when it's done in a split-workout approach. I did NOT break down exercise routines for total body workouts...but don't worry, it'll come eventually :)Thank you for listening!

You don't need to be a COMPETITIVE weightlifter to still be a weightlifter. If you lift weights, and/or perform resistance training on a regular basis, you are a weightlifter. You may be doing this for any number of reasons - you very likely are trying to build muscle, but why? To improve your RMR? To fill out your clothes differently? To gain functional strength?Whatever the reason, there's also a time in every weightlifter's life when they need to consider cardio. When, how much, and why to do it? Inside this episode I dive into reasons behind these things, and how cardio can help in certain situations but can also be a detriment in other situations.
