welcome back to my channel today we're
gonna do another one of those q a's that
i love to do because i'm getting
so many good questions i get a few weird
ones every once in a while as well but
you know hopefully today we'll be able
to
bust a few myths and
give you guys some
good answers to
good questions all right
let's get into it a low carb diet is the
best for all body types true or or false
well false there's no evidence that are
supporting that you know a low carb diet
would be better than
a high carb diet so
um as long as you eat enough protein
your veggies then you should know that
fat and carbs are both fuel for the body
and
you can eat a combination of them or
some people prefer to eat more carbs
less fat or the other way around so
whatever works for you but no
that's false
will running melt my muscles
no it won't i think what you're
referring to here is that
if you do a lot of running that you
might get
less muscles which can indirectly be
true
you see if you don't have enough fuel in
your body and your
let's say run long distance your body
will
send out a signal
to to your brain that oh we don't have
enough fuel to feed all these
muscles uh we better shrink them so
you you will kill some muscle mass
over time if you
do too much long distance running
without having the fuel in your body
um so
that is the answer to that question um
you can you can sprint you can do 5k you
can even do long distance running
as long as you fuel up
favorite supersets well first of all a
superset is when you go from one
exercise to another without any rest
um so my favorite superset i'm not a
huge fan of super setting
overall but i do like to super set arms
um so i'll go from a bicep exercise
straight into tricep exercise
so yeah that's my answer
to hormones influence workouts and
nutrition
so without going too deep on hormones i
would say yes hormones can affect your
your
ability to build muscle mass
gain or lose fat and and
overall how are you feeling
what equipment should i get if i don't
have the possibility to go to a gym
well that's an excellent question i
would say it depends on your goal it
depends on who you are and what you want
to achieve
i think it's it's good to get um
maybe bench some some free weights and
something that can help you
work your back and shoulders that's the
hardest part
when you do broader weight workouts
dumbbells and a bench that will go a
long way
my knee hurts when i'm jumping what
exercise can i do to stabilize the joint
we have no idea what's going on in your
knee so you shouldn't be stabilizing
your joint necessarily
you should see a professional go and see
someone who knows what they're doing and
who can find out what's going on in your
knee and this is super common that
people think that
if something hurts that they need to
rehab it right away or do a certain type
of exercise to stabilize and build it up
but now see a professional
how much coffee is too much coffee in a
day
well 51 cups of coffee is too much per
day
no
just kidding
well
you can drink a whole lot of coffee
there's a lot of health benefits to
coffee and
there's some scientific
proof um on that as well that it
prevents alzheimer's disease parkinson's
helps with with former
various forms of cancer and it also
shields your liver just make sure to
drink enough water because it can be a
little dehydrating with coffee and yeah
if some people don't handle coffee
uh well at all they you know if you get
too jittery i wouldn't drink that much
but personally i drink
like eight cups a day and i i'm fine i'm
fine
is it necessary to wear a belt when
lifting do we make less progress with it
but in my experience
the guys and girls who are getting
injured are the ones wearing a belt
you're not getting injured while wearing
the belt but when you walk in the stairs
or you're lifting something up and i'm
i'm going to tell you why so
i'm not wearing a belt and i'm dead
lifting that means
my whole body is switched on
working together as soon as you put that
belt on
i'm gonna you know disconnect that body
part my legs are working my upper body
might be working but
my core is not firing and it's not
activated guess what happens when i take
everything off and i go to lift that box
up
exactly so
if you don't need to wear a belt don't
do it some people do it to be able to
lift heavier and
yeah
that might be working for them i suggest
if you don't have to wear a belt
please don't type of beer or alcohol
drink would be okay with everyday life i
love this question you need to listen to
me now
when you decide to have a beer or glass
of wine
drink whatever you like
it's better to drink whatever you like
and not drink all the time
instead of
going with a vodka soda lime
and drink a ton of them or every day so
maybe i would say if you need to drink
something that's not as good as you want
it to be
because it's healthier
you're probably drinking too much it's
walking combined with healthy diet
enough to be healthy well that's an
excellent question i would say if you
eat healthy that means you are pretty
healthy walking is also healthy for you
but i do think you need more than
walking
that's not really going to work your
upper body it's not going to work your
heart that much
so i would say
walking can be overrated sometimes it
can also be underrated many times so it
is healthy to walk and to eat healthy
but you probably need something more as
well get a good lift in once or twice a
week do you burn more fat with high
intensity interval training before or
after a workout
well i would say you you burn about the
same i think the important thing is what
the the high intensity interval training
will do to you what i like to do before
my training because it warms me up and
it prepares me
for
my strength session
and some people think that it makes them
tired and then can't lift
that much so you need to figure out what
works for you but
i'm a big fan of shorter intervals not
overdoing them
so it never affects me it just warms me
up
and it prepares me for for my strength
session that comes after so
um to burn more fat doesn't matter you
can do them before after
but
personally i like to do them before
myth
you cannot eat carbs if you want to lose
weight
true or false
false you can eat carbs and lose weight
it all comes down to
the proportion of macros and your
totally calorie intake
so
you should eat
a certain amount of fat and carbs in a
day
one or the other or a combination and
it doesn't matter if you get them
through carbs or fat you you will you
will lose weight
if you're in calorie deficit which means
that you eating less than what you're
burning in a day
who have better metabolism women or men
and why
it's highly individual there are many
females that have better metabolism than
other men and vice versa so
it's highly individual how important is
cardio what's the most important for
weight loss besides nutrition well you
said it nutrition is the most important
when it comes to to losing weight losing
weight means that you're in a calorie
deficit you're eating less than what
you're burning in a day
cardio is not super important at all
it's it's all about that calorie deficit
cardio will help you to burn more so
you know the difference will will be
greater and you might lose even more
fat in a day but yeah cardio is not
important but it might help how can i
have a six pack
well
you go to the store
you go to the bear section
and you
go to the michelob ultra section and uh
you get a six-pack that's that's how you
do it no kidding you need to make sure
that you
um
get on top of your nutrition it's all
about nutrition when it comes to losing
body fat we all have a six pack
underneath
our layer of fat and
yeah you could do some some
core work to to make the the straight
abdominis the six-pack muscle bigger but
it really comes down to nutrition weight
training makes
thighs bulky not slender and toned
question mark
love that question it's a big myth
weight training will not make you bulky
and as a female
it is really hard to build a lot of
muscle mass so you do get bulky
in the beginning when you start training
you might feel like you're getting a
little bit bigger because your your
muscles will bind a little more fluid
but that will you know that will pass so
give it a few weeks and you'll see a lot
of the the most toned people that i
train
are
lifting a lot of weights and they do a
lot of strength training so
no weight training will not make you
bulky sets and reps what's the most
efficient more reps and lower weight or
less reps higher weight personally i'm a
fan of doing
both actually i like the the combine
low weight higher reps and
high weights lower reps depending on the
muscle i'm targeting which cycle i'm
training in
and
yeah it also depends on if you have
pre-existing injuries if you're a
beginner or you're more advanced and a
whole lot of other things so to go back
to my answer
both works
is it okay to eat pasta instead of rice
yes it is i'm not sure why you're asking
that question if it's
about weight loss or just to be healthy
you can eat pasta and be healthy no
problem
same thing with losing or gaining weight
uh you can eat pasta it's it's more a
matter of
how much you of it
is it actually bad to do full body
workouts every day well excellent
question it depends on how many times
per week you're working out if you're
doing five days a week
i would not do full body workouts
i would
maybe if you're doing twice a week then
then i would consider it so
that's the answer to that question
really depends on how many times per
week you work out i'm a much bigger fan
of targeting each and every muscle much
harder with more sets and reps
and then allow that muscle group to rest
the next day while i'm targeting
targeting something else
it's less of a compromise a myth when
you are 30 plus
you're
too old to get fit
no i've had 70 year olds
who i helped get in awesome shape no
it's never too late it's it's you have
to adapt obviously depending on age how
you approach training and nutrition
but no you can get in better shape and
you can get in good shape at any age
you need to train at least 30 minutes
for it to be effective no
step into the gym with me for 10 minutes
and i'll show you
it's better to train on an empty stomach
true or false no it's not better to
train on an empty stomach
actually it might even be bad for you if
you don't have enough fuel in your
system it really depends on what you
want to achieve with your workout if you
want to build muscle mass and get
stronger
i will make sure to have food in my
stomach you don't have to eat right
before a workout but
you know within a two hour span before i
would
absolutely
get some protein in
that's it a lot of good questions as you
can tell hopefully
these questions and my answers help some
of you up there please let me know what
you want to see in the future
