Episode 19 of The Muscle Engineer Podcast is a roundtable discussion dissecting the topic of deloading, which was originally released as episode 99 of Abel Csabai’s Sustainable Self Development podcast.In this episode Abel, Vincent Sparagna and myself pretty much beat to death deloading in an episode that’s – in my obviously biased opinion – the most in-depth yet practical discussion on the matter.Topics addressed with time stamps:  5:24 – What is deloading and what’s the purpose behind it?9:54 –  Are deloads necessary or could you get away with not taking them?12:20 – Is there a need to pre-schedule deloads?20:36 – “Reactive” deloads; pros and cons36:00 – The psychological impact of deloads44:28 – Building up volume over the weeks up to your MRV, overreaching and then deloading53:38 – Issues with purposeful overreaching and hitting your MRV1:01:06 – How each of us likes to use deloads in practice1:13:22 – Cardio during deloads1:15:53 – How should you manipulate your food intake during a deload?1:20:30 – The summary of what we discussed and my practical suggestions  / take-awaysIf you want to apply for online coaching, email me:andreiszotak@gmail.comSay “Hi” on social media:https://www.instagram.com/szotaktme/https://www.facebook.com/szotaktmehttps://www.facebook.com/szotakandrasYou can find Ábel at:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCzGVKv513I6Zb0u3mLsL_7whttps://soundcloud.com/abelcsabaihttps://www.instagram.com/susdvc_abel/https://www.facebook.com/sustainableselfdevelopment/Get all the previous podcast episodes:http://themuscleengineer.podbean.com/  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

#19 Roundtable Discussion - Deloading Masterclass

In episode 24 of The Muscle Engineer Podcast I’m joined once again by Ábel Csabai of The Sustainable Self Development Center to discuss commonly seen nutrition practices that are more or less necessary and  / or productive.Topics discussed with time stamps:5:26 The biggest reason for confusion - focusing on methods and not understanding the principles14:53 Lack of knowledge and experience and not having empathy for others21:20 Things that are absolutely necessary - calorie deficit, sufficient protein, sufficient micronutrients24:03 Things that are not necessary but are probably helpful - having carbs + EAA intra-workout, drinking a protein shake after a workout, having casein / slow absorbing protein before bed, weighing yourself on a scale every day, avoiding alcohol completely etc28:12 Things that are possibly helpful but likely not necessary - eating “clean foods only” and avoiding “processed” foods, eating the same foods and meals over and over again - eating “bland” foods even when trying to gain muscle, avoiding diet drinks and anything that’s “sweet”, eating every 2-3 hours etc38:08 The necessity of tracking your macros45:42 Being more laid back due to being more educated and seeing the big picture47:34 The difference between doing something because you want to and doing it because you think you have to54:22 People trying to suffer for the sake of suffering and avoiding anything sweet or anything that tastes good58:42 Things that are unlikely to be helpful and are probably harmful - bulletproof coffee, “juicing” for detoxing, stupid diets (snake diet and co. ), injecting various substances into your body (snake venom, pee and so on)1:04:04 You are NOT fragile  - stop being so afraid of and stop trying to identify things that are “wrong” with you1:14:45 Stay open minded and assume that someone with more experience than you knows something you don’tYou can find Ábel at:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCzGVKv513I6Zb0u3mLsL_7whttps://soundcloud.com/abelcsabaihttps://www.instagram.com/susdvc_abel/https://www.facebook.com/sustainableselfdevelopment/If you want to apply for online coaching, email me:andreiszotak@gmail.comSay “Hi” on social media:https://www.instagram.com/szotaktme/https://www.facebook.com/szotaktmehttps://www.facebook.com/szotakandrasGet all the previous podcast episodes:http://themuscleengineer.podbean.com/ See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

#24 Ábel Csabai – “The truth shall set you free” – debunking common nutritional practices

Episode 43 of The Muscle Engineer Podcast is a meditation on this past year and a compilation of the top 19 things I learned – or rather, re-learned – about training, dieting and life in general.The lessons:Discipline equals freedom – everything you want is on the far side of hard workExtreme ownership – your circumstances are YOUR responsibilityWhat you most want is to be found where you least want to lookThe fool is the precursor to the saviorTell the truth; or at least don’t lieCompare yourself to who you were yesterday, not who someone else is todayYou can’t help someone who doesn’t want to be helpedThe loads you’re using are irrelevant if your execution is offProgressive overload (getting stronger in moderate rep ranges) is still key – use a logbook!There’s only so much volume you can do in any given sessionFind exercises that fit YOU and that can be progressed for a long timePeople should be much more afraid of undertraining than overtrainingGenetics are still key, and no amount of hard work will overcome themDrugs don’t just “only help a little”The key to long term weight loss / maintenance is a dietary approach (and a meal frequency) that YOU can actually enjoyThe more extreme your goals, the more extreme the sacrifices you have to make in returnHow many calories someone else eats is IRRELEVANT – move more if you want to eat moreTrain to get stronger / build muscle; diet to lose fatSleep is still the most potent ANABOLIC (legal) tool you have at your disposal; the more, the better“How do you help someone who’s lost? “ video (MUST WATCH! ) :https://youtu.be/JzkXZAD_cT8If you want to apply for online coaching, email me:andreiszotak@gmail.comSay “Hi” on social media:https://www.instagram.com/szotaktmehttps://www.facebook.com/szotaktmehttps://www.facebook.com/szotakandrasGet all the previous podcast episodes:http://themuscleengineer.podbean.com/ See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
