Mikey Likes You with Mike Catherwood

It isn't reassuring to admit this, but preparation and planning with food are probably more important than any other aspect of physique transformation. Why is it disappointing? Because it sucks, and it is a pain in the keister, and we have lives that make it difficult. With that being said, here are some tips to make it easier, tastier, and more realistic for those of us with demanding personal and professional lives.

The title isn't just stupid bait. I get angry about meaningless crap and also very in-depth and serious about weightier issues. I asked my patrons for questions and I got some great ones. We talk about calories deficits, keto fat numbers, deadlift form, straps, gloves, grips, witchcraft, and candlewax on the nipples. It was a really great session and I'm happy. Hope you are too.

Weight training and diet are king and queen when it comes to looking amazing. Well, who is the prince and who is the neglected duke that everyone banishes to some little island? Cardio good or bad and when is it each? I break down the energy systems and how to fuel them in order to achieve your goals and how not to get in their way.

I asked for questions and I got some darn good ones. I dive into altitude training, the good and the bad of "Body Positivity," de-load weeks, what to do about training when ill, how to eat when you have a demanding job, and much more.

Ok, I don't necessarily think I was a hypocrite, but I'm guilty of not practicing what I preach. Well, that's the definition of being a hypocrite, so I'm guilty as charged. I frequently talk about not overtraining, considering your health before aesthetics, and cardio should be either not done or done responsibly. I then went and broke all my own rules. I paid the price, and now I'm putting the pieces back together and correcting the situation. Do you feel you've never been more disciplined and consistent, yet you're still not getting results? Maybe you're in the same position as me. Let's get into it.

I like Vinnie. A brilliant and thoughtful guy, Vinnie created the #NSNG (no sugar, no grains) revolution that has helped countless people find better health and fitness. He also has an excellent new documentary called "Beyond Impossible" available on Amazon Prime. This documentary comes very highly recommended from yours truly, and it explores the dishonesty and corruption within the world of plant-based nutrition.

Last episode I promised that my wife, Bianca Kajlich, would come on and discuss how she punctured the long-held beliefs of female fitness to achieve her best health ever. I make good on that promise and my wife dives right into eating meat, lifting heavy, and NOT BEING BULKY!!! Forget your salads and cardio and finally see the results you're looking for. I really liked this conversation and I think you will too. Her new site www.allwelcomehere.com is waiting for you folks.

I see and hear things that I disagree with. I also see and hear things that frustrate me. So today, I wanted to dive right into those issues and ideas. I get into simplifying training and nutrition, proper chest training, real female training, and the disgusting dishonesty in female fitness media.

It is an excellent session of questions and answers today on "Mikey Likes You." We get into calorie set points, what it means to have a "clean diet," sustainable fat loss, rest intervals, intensity vs. volume, and the value of sandals. sign up for my Patreon and make a choice to get serious. https://www.patreon.com/user?u=2666345&fan_landing=true

There is so much information on training out there. There are only three types of training that you should concern yourself with if you want to look and feel better. These three types are high volume, high intensity, and absolute strength training. High volume training is lots of work done at a moderate level of intensity, and it serves you well for hypertrophy (muscle gain). High-intensity training is a medium or low amount of work done at extreme levels of intensity (muscular failure and beyond.) Strength training or training for maximal strength gain is often a varied level of amount of work done with extremely low reps. Another aspect of the three varieties that differentiates them is the rest between sets. With high volume, you want to use shorter rest periods as trauma, and lactic acid buildup in the muscles you're targeting is more important than performance. With strength training, rest is very long between sets because you want to be able to perform highly, and that is all. You would periodize all three styles into your routine in a perfect world, but you should make one style a majority piece that best suits your goals. Listen, Download, and Subscribe, my friends.
