Lessons from the World's Greatest Coaches

Strength is the big glass bowl that all other fitness and athletic qualities fit into.   Strength is often the answer and yes, it is all relative.   Understanding these concepts will go a long way in your journey to optimal health.   I keep it simple so you can keep it simple, yet also learn for yourself.   Be Unconventional, Kyle aka Panda Man

Two weeks ago, silver hit an all-time high of $52+.  I was pumped, but not surprised, because I have been buying silver for the better part of the past five years.     I know, all the money guys say it's not an investment, but when something in the wealth world has gone up almost 300% in the past 5-6 years, I'd say they are wrong.     However, the point of today's writing is not to give you financial advice, but to make you think about the world 'investment'.  If I asked you what the best investment of your life has been, what would you say?     Was it in building some aspect of your portfolio?  Was it investing into your children, into your education, into your marriage?  Or maybe it's something else entirely.     When you examine what made it a great investment, what makes it stand out?  What type of return did it give you?     I am here to tell you that there is no investment in this world that will have a bigger payoff than investing into your health and fitness.  None, nada, zilch!    Are you the type that continues to wish you could get your weight and health in order?  Yet, when you look at your track record, you are spending more per month on your cell phone bill than you do on your health?     Most people keep putting this crucial investment off because it has not risen to the level of urgency yet.     What other thing could you invest in that will give you:   -A longer life? -Make you literally harder to kill? -A better quality of life? -More strength? -A more attractive body? -Better energy? -More confidence?   I'll let you sit on that, but I can tell you right now that no matter how long you rack your brain, you won't be able to come up with one that can match these potential ROIs.     Health is your true weath.     Be Unconventional,   Kyle aka Panda Man   P.S. - If you are a Dad and are ready to invest more into your health, then I'd recommend beginning with my upcoming book: A Guide to Becoming a Ripped Dad.  I cover workouts, fasting, nutrition, mindset, core values, leadership and more.  It's jam packed.  Most importantly, I teach you in the book to become a fisher, rather than just giving you fish.  We are on week 3 of the early bird, this week it's up to $95 and that will continue to go up until it is released.  If you'd like the link, shoot me a text: 908-229-6666  

I've been fortunate enough to stem from what I would say is the best Coaching tree in the world, in the field of strength, conditioning and nutrition.   Here's my tree in no particular order: Louie Simmons - Founder of Westside Barbell, the strongest gym in the world Jay Butler - 20 year strength Coach in D1 and NFL, named D1 strength Coach of the year John Meadows - Bodybuilding guru, top Coach for IFBB pros Scott Abel - If ever there was a PhD in bodybuilding, it would be Scott.  He was my first ever Coach Charles Poliquin - Legend in the field, worked with thousands of professional athletes as well as Olympians In today's episode, I cover one key SECRET that I learned from each of these great Coaches and mentors of mine.   This episode is short, but there's gold in here if you listen.   Be Unconventional, Kyle aka Panda Man P.S. - My new Ripped Dads book is coming out on Halloween.  Shoot me a text if you'd like the early bird link. 908-229-6666

In this special edition episode, I sat down with my long time, old friend, Mayhem.   Mayhem and I became boys back in highschool and although we have been busy with the roads that life has took us down, it was great to chat and catch up.   Mayhem is a comedian, formerly working on the old, but famous, Opie and Anthony show.   In this episode, we hit such a wide range of topics, including Mayhem's experience with fasting and fitness, as someone that has been overweight his entire life, to various conspiracies and chasing after your dream and what it takes to achieve that dream.   This is a long one, but a great one! Enjoy! Be Unconventional, Kyle aka Panda Man P.S. - If you are ready for my help, which means you either are sick and tired of being sick and tired and you feel like you've hit rock bottom, OR if you are a high achiever and want to take your life to the next level in mind, body and spirit, shoot me a text and we can kick around some ideas.  908-229-6666

Over the weekend, I was talking with Devon about our sons, Braxton and Colty.  They are both very good athletes with a lot of potential.   And being that I have a unique background in the field of athletics, I was pointing out a few anomolies on Braxton that most people would never even notice.   Running with that idea, I thought I would share with you, today, what we can take from the example of Braxton and apply to our own health and strength to give us a better shot and living a quality life, longer.   Take a listen and let me know what you think.  Be Unconventional, Kyle aka Panda Man P.S. - If you want more insights on what I teach and how I live, feel free to join my FREE What'sApp group, there's a lot of great ideas floating around in there: The World's #1 Fasting mmunity    

Begin with the assumption that cutting calories is the way to go when it comes to your weight and health... Then destroy that assumption.   In this episode, I lay out why that path is perhaps the worst idea that is still rampant in health and fitness.  If you gave most fit pros truth serum, they'd tell you the same thing. They don't tell you because there is a huge lack of expertise when it comes to proper eating and nutrition.   They only know calories and macros and when that fails, well then, it must be your fault.  You didn't have enough will power or discipline.   Sure, that's gotta be the reason so many people fail at caloric deficit diets, the way they are currently structured.   Take a listen if you want to gain some clarity around the topic.   By the way, I have a FREE What'sApp group with a lot of great info and there is a link to a weekly live lesson/teaching I'll be doing, beginning tonight, on Panda Man TV!  Here's the link to join the group for free:  https://chat.whatsapp.com/IRO90L5z29f4M8ggucmpYN?mode=r_t   Be Unconventional, Kyle aka Panda Man P.S. - If you think you're a great canditate for my personal Coaching, feel free to shoot me a text at 908-229-6666  

Most people aren't clear on why they train or what training quality they are attempting to train.  IN today's episode I go over the training qualities that I believe are the pillars of training, including: strength, strength endurance, hypertrophy, isometric, power and mobility.  If you keep doing the same old, you'll get the same old results.   Plus, I give one powerful mindset insight at the end of the episode that if used appropriately, has the ability to change your life in an amazing way!   Enjoy and let me know what you think!

Your health and wellness is too important to just blindly follow the 'science'.   You must use observation, real world experience and intuition to find out what works for you.   The science has been laid out for us when it comes to health, yet we are over 50% obesity as a population.   Science tells you it's all about calories in and calories out, yet that fails 99% of the time.  Where is the 'science' when it comes to the results?  Crickets.   Did you ever stop to think about who is funding the studies? Usually, the more highly educated in the formal sense a person is, the more indoctrinated they and they don't even realize it.  They are parrots, repeating what was told to them and you're damned if you don't believe them or if you ask them a question.   Keep an open mind, empty your cup and remember, belief is enemy of knowing.     Be Unconventional, Kyle aka Panda Man P.S. - My 5 Week Busy Moms Challenge begins in less than a week.  If you or someone you know has been struggling and failing with the mainstream science in fitness, health and nutrition, then you are not going to want to miss this opportunity!

Last week I got to sit down with Anthony and Tereza Lolli of Biohack Yourself Media.  They have 5 big documentaries out on Prime, including one that I just started called The Guru.   It all began during COVID when Anthony decided that enough was enough, he was going to transform his body.   His inspirational journey inspired millions around the world and led to him and Tereza becoming massive influencers in the world of health and fitness.   Their company is the media company for the MAHA movement.   If you are sick and tired of the Western Medical establishment, then you need to follow what they are doing because it's all about true healing and health, i.e.- biohacking your health.   You can follow them both on IG @anthonylolli and @terezalolli.  They also have @biohackyourselfmedia.   It was so great to chat with them and remember, success leaves clues and these two are massively successful! Enjoy and reach out if you need help.   Be Unconventional, Kyle aka Panda Man 908-229-6666
