If You’re Always Busy but Still Stuck - Watch This - Ep 153

Andy Naylor — Wed, 09 Jul 2025 03:00:00 -0400

This is the brutal truth about why you're not getting what you want.

If you knew your time was running out… say, just six months left… what would you do differently?

Most people never ask themselves that.

They drift through life chasing everything… and catching nothing.

Like a dog sprinting after every rabbit in a field—only to end up exhausted, distracted, and empty-handed.

That’s exactly what’s happening to your goals.

Your fitness. Your energy. Your future.

In this episode, Andy breaks down why chasing multiple goals is silently destroying your progress, and how to reclaim ruthless clarity and focus.

If you’re sick of feeling like you're “busy but going nowhere,” this is your wake-up call.

“You will complete and achieve so much more if you just pick a task and go after that one thing. Simplicity is a skill.” – Andy Naylor

This Underrated Trait Will Transform Your Life - Ep 151

Andy Naylor — Wed, 11 Jun 2025 03:00:00 -0400

You think you’re being consistent... but are you really?

You’ve probably heard: “Consistency is KING.”

But what does that actually mean… in real life, with your schedule, your stress, and your unique body?

Most people don’t get results because they change too many things at once.

They “try everything” and get nowhere. Why? Because they’re never consistent enough to know what’s actually working.

In this episode, Andy breaks down the truth about relentless consistency - what it really looks like, where most people go wrong, and how to master it across training, nutrition, sleep, stress, and more.

Stop guessing. Start measuring.

This is the mindset shift that separates those who try from those who transform.

Watch now and discover how to become unshakeably consistent.

“Your personal self-growth is your responsibility, no one else's, and consistency is KING. There is no point doing something very well for one day and then not the next.” – Andy Naylor

You Can’t Outperform Your Identity - Ep 150

Andy Naylor — Wed, 04 Jun 2025 03:00:00 -0400

Most people don’t have a body problem - they have an identity problem.

Getting in shape isn’t just about looking good, it’s about becoming the kind of person who earns success.

In business, relationships, and life… people judge what they see. And like it or not, looking the part matters.

If you’re not where you want to be with your health, energy, or physique…

Stop pointing fingers. It ’s no one else’s fault. It’s yours. That’s the hard truth most people avoid.

But here’s the good news:

You can change everything - the second you decide to become the version of you that’s worthy of your goals.

In this episode, Andy breaks down the identity shift required to go from stuck… to unstoppable.

Who do you need to become? Watch now and find out.

How to Force Your Body to Adapt - Ep 149

Andy Naylor — Wed, 28 May 2025 03:00:00 -0400

Most People Go to the Gym for the WRONG Reason…

If your goal is to actually change your body… not just sweat, chase pump highs, or play with machines… you need to hear this.

The gym isn’t about lifting weights.

It’s about forcing your body to adapt.

In this eye-opening episode, Andy Naylor breaks down why your body fights change, why muscle is so damn hard to build (but worth it), and how you need to train if you’re serious about results, not just going through the motions.

If you’ve hit a plateau, feel like your workouts are stale, or just want to finally get visible, tangible results...

Watch this episode. Then train differently.

“Dropping fat is a lot easier than building muscle. It happens a lot quicker; it's easier to do. Building muscle is far more difficult, far more challenging as your body doesn’t want to change.” – Andy Naylor

Calories Aren’t the Problem — YOU Simply Don’t Understand Them - Ep 145

Andy Naylor — Wed, 30 Apr 2025 03:00:00 -0400

What is a calorie, where does the term even come from, and how can we be more accountable to them along our fitness journey?

Beauty lies in the simplicity of his message as he discusses how losing weight isn’t just about eating healthy.

Andy will keep you accountable with ways in which you can practically count your calories and start getting in better shape!

Andy Naylor — Wed, 03 Jul 2024 03:00:00 -0400

Ever wondered if your time in the gym is being maximized for the best chest gains?

When you’re a busy business leader, efficiency and effectiveness are key—both in the office and at the gym. So don’t miss this episode of The Optimal Alpha Podcast, where Andy dives deep into the pros and cons of two of the top exercises to build a strong chest: Bench Press vs. Dumbbell Press!

Hosted by Coach Andy Naylor, who has over two decades of experience in helping people optimize their training and nutrition, this episode cuts through the noise and delivers pure, actionable insights.

In this episode, Andy dissects the pros and cons of each exercise, giving you insights to make an informed decision tailored to your fitness goals. Whether you’re looking to optimize your workout for strength, muscle growth, or overall performance, this episode will equip you with the knowledge to elevate your game.

Depending on your goal, you will naturally gravitate towards a fitness program that offers you what you think you need. However, it's crucial to recognize that not all fitness programs are crafted equally.

Tune in to Andy's engaging discussion with clients, this time with a past client who stepped on stage and achieved an incredible physique transformation: Rex Hudson.

“You are right when you say motivation is for children. You wake up every single day and you go and earn money. You have the discipline to get up and go to work every day, so you can get up and go to the gym and stick to your meals every day.

If you do that you’ll achieve your goal, plus more.”

– Rex Hudson

The Top 15 Reasons Why You Didn't Lose Weight Last Year

Andy Naylor — Wed, 24 Jan 2024 03:00:00 -0400

Did you struggle to lose weight last year? If you did not see the desired outcome, it's simply because you're not doing things the right way. And even if you did lose weight… sadly, there’s an 85% chance that you’re gonna put it all back in a very short period of time.

You have overlooked 15 key details for optimal fat loss. Let’s fix it!

You're busy enough running your business. You have a family to take care of. You have so much on your plate and you tried so hard to lose weight with poor results.

The truth is that fat loss doesn’t happen overnight. Although the principle calories in < calories out is valid, it’s not as simple as that! It’s a much more complicated ‘recipe’.

In today's episode, Andy discusses the top 15 reasons why you didn’t lose weight last year and shares what are the ‘ingredients’ to lose fat once and for all with maximum results. It’s time to lose fat and keep it off for good.

The impact of mental health challenges on having a clear direction
The underlying principle of fat loss: calories in VS calories out (CICO)

(FAMILY SERIES) The One Thing Your Spouse Cannot Do to Help You Is…..

Andy Naylor — Wed, 20 Sep 2023 03:00:00 -0400

What's one thing you must do to ensure you reach your fitness goals? Do you have someone in your life who is responsible for keeping you focused? You probably look to your spouse as your accountability partner if you're married. But that's not always the case.

In today's episode, Andy talks about the top ten reasons you must not expect your spouse to share the responsibility of making sure you prioritize your fitness activities. He also provides better alternatives than automatically making your spouse your accountability partner. It's just not fair to demand that from them.

If you want to stay focused on your goals, this episode is for you, so listen up!

“Nobody can tell another human what should be on their priority list technically. It's just about simply not fair. Each person is their own person. And if priorities don't match, this will also lead to conflict in the marriage or in the partnership.”

– Andy Naylor

In This Episode:

-Top 10 reasons your spouse cannot be held responsible for your fitness goals

-How to find better ways for you to get more accountability in achieving your goals

Stop Using Your Family as an Excuse!

Andy Naylor — Wed, 06 Sep 2023 03:00:00 -0400

Society typically measures a man's worth by his ability to care for his family. With increasing career demands, many men feel the need to choose between family and personal health. Between work, gym, and family time, the gym often gets on the back burner.

They work extremely hard to provide for their families and often neglect their health. Heroic, right? But how can they expect to continue caring for their family if their health is failing? If you're in the same situation, stop using your family as an excuse.

In this episode, Andy delves into this predicament faced by many successful men, specifically business owners or C-Suite executives. He provides a better alternative to skipping exercise time so you don't have to sacrifice your health to be the ideal man of the house.

It's time to “put your oxygen mask on first” so you can be with your family for a long time.

“If your health is declining, how are you gonna be able to take care of your family?”

– Andy Naylor

In This Episode:

-How does society measure a man's worth?

-Why do successful men neglect their health and prioritise their families and work responsibilities?

-Breaking the chain reaction of bad habits in your family

Must-Do Exercises Are a Myth

Andy Naylor — Wed, 30 Aug 2023 03:00:00 -0400

What are the best movements for each muscle group? What is the best split to use? If you want to build your body, you can't just copy what someone else is doing. What works for one individual does not always work for another. Everyone responds differently to different training programs. So, let go of the idea that there needs to be must-do exercises.

If you've been doing squats trying to get bigger legs, but you're not getting there, let it go. When you stop squatting and find something more appropriate, which is what Andy talks about today, chances are you'll make much more progress.

“When it comes to exercise selection, some of the best lessons you will learn are when you're injured.”

– Andy Naylor

In This Episode:

-What your injury can teach you

-Questions you must ask yourself as you perform each movement

-How to identify more appropriate exercises that will deliver your desired results

Personalized Training Splits: Discovering the Perfect Fit

Andy Naylor — Wed, 16 Aug 2023 03:00:00 -0400

In bodybuilding, you can't just copy someone else's routine to turn you into a physique competitor instantly. Your training plan must be written specifically for you. Figuring out your training schedule, or ''split,'' is very important to maximize muscle gains and achieve your goals.

In this episode, Andy walks you through how to work out the most optimal split depending on the results you want to achieve, your availability, your training experience, and your overall physical condition. He also shares a sample training split to give you an idea of an ideal training week. Tune in to discover how to plan an effective workout split specifically for you.

“If your plan was not written for you, for your goals, then it's most likely nowhere near optimal for the outcome that you want.”

– Andy Naylor

In This Episode:

-What does your training routine look like?

-Things to consider when planning your training split

-How to plan an ideal training week (with sample workout routines)

You’re cheating - and you know it!

Andy Naylor — Wed, 09 Aug 2023 03:00:00 -0400

People diet for many reasons, like wanting to lose weight, gain muscle, or improve their physique. However, dieting can become boring or monotonous. So very few people stick to their diet plan without having a cheat day. The concept is based on the idea that a dieter can ‘cheat’ for one day a week as long as they follow their diet plan for the remaining six days.

Can cheat days actually keep your levels of leptin up and therefore suppress your feelings of hunger? Does a cheat day ruin your fitness goals? What is the truth about cheat days, and what's a healthier alternative? To cheat or not to cheat? Tune in to hear the truth about ‘cheat days’ in today's episode of Optimal Alpha.

“Dieting can become monotonous. It can become boring, although boring is just a mental weakness. If something's working and it's boring, who cares?”

– Andy Naylor

In This Episode:

-What is a cheat day, and why do people feel the need to have a cheat day?

-The effect of cheat days or cheat meals on your body

-What's a better alternative to having a cheat day?

(HABITS SERIES #5) - Oooo That's Satisfying 😜

Andy Naylor — Wed, 02 Aug 2023 03:00:00 -0400

Are you satisfied with the rewards of your efforts? Humans often seek recognition or a prize in exchange for our labour. That's what gives us the push to continue doing what we do. It's the key to developing new habits.

-How to make the reward immediate and satisfying (with real-world examples)

The 3 Only Ways You Spend Your Time

Andy Naylor — Wed, 28 Jun 2023 03:00:00 -0400

If you have all the time in the world, how will you spend it? The lack of unwasted time is probably a dream for pretty much everyone. “If only I had more time….”

The default excuse we hear from most people when they can't do something is that they don't have the time or they can't find the time. If you find yourself using the same excuse, why not evaluate how you use your time? Are you using it wisely?

In this episode, Andy describes the three ways people spend their time and what they should do instead. Now think about it. If you can find more time, what will you do with it?

“Where you spend your time matters because, quite frankly, one day, you'll be dead. And then you've got no time left - ever!”

– Andy Naylor

In This Episode:

-The single biggest excuse from people as to why they can't do something

-What are you busy with? Do you really need to do those things?

-You only spend your time in one of three ways - are you spending your time the right way?

Don’t Be the Dog Chasing Rabbits in a Field

Andy Naylor — Wed, 14 Jun 2023 03:00:00 -0400

If you only had six more months to live, what would you spend your time doing? Naturally, when you have limited time, you will want to focus on the most important things in life. But the problem with most people is that they lose sight of what's really important and allow themselves to be distracted like a dog chasing rabbits in a field.

They chase one rabbit after another, but they end up not catching a single one. It's the same principle with your fitness or life goals. You cannot run after two targets at the same time because your attention will be divided. So how do you avoid distractions and improve your focus? That's what Andy talks about in this episode.

If you're tired of chasing after things that do not bring you much fulfilment, you don't want to miss this!

“You will complete and achieve so much more if you just pick a task and go after that one thing.”

– Andy Naylor

In This Episode:

-What is the highest-paid activity that you can undertake?

-The reason you must stop chasing after rabbits and focus on one goal

-How to improve your focus and accomplish your most important goals

Andy Naylor — Wed, 10 May 2023 03:00:00 -0400

This episode is the ninth of Optimal Alpha's CEO Series. Watch out for the next ones!

“There is no better investment than one into yourself, into skills, into knowledge, and into your health and wellness.”

(CEO SERIES #5) Motivation Is for Kids!

Andy Naylor — Wed, 12 Apr 2023 03:00:00 -0400

Many people say they need motivation to succeed. But the idea of motivation is debatable. For instance, staying motivated can be challenging over the long term, especially in the face of setbacks or failures.

We all know what it feels like to have it. When we lose it, we somehow feel out of control. When we have it, everything is good, and we feel powerful. But when it’s gone, we feel hopeless, lost, out of control, and without direction.

Would you then agree that motivation is not reliable? It is not tangible, hard to quantify, and unpredictable. So we must rely on more than just the magic of motivation. There has to be a better way to move towards our goals.

In today's episode, Andy proves why you don't need motivation and what you need instead to achieve your goals.

This episode is the fifth of Optimal Alpha's CEO Series. Watch out for the next ones!

“If we are going to achieve goals, if we set a goal in front of us, we must go and achieve it.”

– Andy Naylor

In This Episode:

-What makes us move TOWARDS a goal?

-Why motivation is NOT reliable

-How exactly can you achieve BIG goals?

(CEO SERIES #4) Give Up Your Beliefs

Andy Naylor — Wed, 05 Apr 2023 03:00:00 -0400

Success means different things to different people. While others define success as having material things like fancy houses, fast cars, and huge bank accounts, some are happy with a less extravagant display of success.

So what does success look like for you? And what does it take to be successful?

Business and personal success are all about growth and moving forward. But do you really have what it takes to be unstoppable in your pursuit of growth in your world?

Business leaders must approach challenges with a growth mindset, embracing failures and setbacks as opportunities to learn and improve.

This episode is the fourth of Optimal Alpha's CEO Series. Watch out for the next ones!

-What does it take for you to live up to your full potential?

As a busy business leader, there's a big chance you've been prioritizing the needs of your business over your own health and well-being, neglecting self-care practices.

You spend some of the best years of your life growing your business and gaining financial security for yourself and your family. But along that journey, you have seriously sacrificed yourself.

You end up over-stressed, not getting enough sleep, and experiencing declining health. When your health is threatened, you'd then literally give your business away to regain your health. And you are not alone.

Many successful CEOs are in the same position–they treat their business better than themselves.

Before the situation leads to a severe health event–like a heart attack or a stroke that can leave you incapacitated–something needs to change.

You must start prioritizing self-care as a business leader. Health is wealth. Your family and your business need you here.

In today's episode, Andy shares simple things you can do to optimize your health. If you're a busy business leader, high-level executive, CEO, entrepreneur, or highly successful person, this series is for you.

This episode is the first of Optimal Alpha's CEO Series. Watch out for the next ones!

“There's only one of YOU. And there are people around you who love you, rely upon you, and are dependent on you, and quite frankly, just want you around. Which would you prefer–the business or them?”

– Andy Naylor

In This Episode:

-Every highly successful family man is in THIS position

-If something does not change, something WILL change, and it won't be what you want it to be

-Simple things you can do that will make a DIFFERENCE in your health

Fail Forward

Andy Naylor — Wed, 08 Mar 2023 03:00:00 -0400

A limiting belief will keep you in your comfort zone. Nothing changes in your comfort zone.

Prove to yourself that you can grow by doing something that scares you every day. Behavior breeds behavior — be the best in everything you can possibly be. Get comfortable with the feeling of feeling uncomfortable.

Andy is dishing out the motivational goodness in this awesomely inspiring super-charged episode of Optimal Alpha.

What are the two ideas that hold people back in achieving their goals? BS stories and limiting beliefs.

The world you live in is just your perception of it. So change your perception. It’s time to fail forward!

“Nothing changes in your comfort zone.”

– Andy Naylor

In This Episode:

-Grow out of your self-limiting beliefs

-If someone else has done it, why can’t you?

-Other people’s achievements means that it’s possible for you too

-What if, on your deathbed, you met the person you could’ve become?

-Fail forward — learning to fail

-Do a little something that scares you every day

-‘If you can’t, therefore you must’

Thoughts Become Things

Andy Naylor — Wed, 01 Mar 2023 03:00:00 -0400

What your eyes see, your brain is going to soak up. Makes sense, doesn’t it?

Creating vision boards at home and employing visualization techniques when you are at the gym are important parts of getting your body in shape.

We do this by harnessing the power of our mind first. Never bad self-talk — ever! Self-deprecation is a problem — it’s how we trick our minds into believing something isn’t possible. And that’s giving into the fear of failure — a fear which doesn’t even really exist.

See it in your mind first — and then go and create that victory, that ideal weight, or that magic number that you want to bench press. You’re seeing the world through the lens of your experience, it’s not the same for everybody.

Change your inner world and change your external reality. When something bad happens, try verbalizing the positive.

Andy is encouraging us to see the positive in this powerful episode of Optimal Alpha. Your outlook determines your outcome. Let’s go get it!

“Thoughts become things. What you think could become a reality.”

- Andy Naylor

In This Episode:

-Making lists and ticking the tasks off — creating a visual wall that you build up into a castle

-Why self-deprecation is your worst enemy

-Verbalizing the positive when you notice something bad happen

-Your outlook determines your outcome

-Getting out of the loop of having the same thoughts each day

-Increasing the gap between a stimulus and your reaction

-Giving yourself time to make better health decisions

The Cumulative Effect

Andy Naylor — Wed, 22 Feb 2023 03:00:00 -0400

You worked hard all week, stuck to your diet, went to the gym, and drank water. So why oh why has nothing changed? Have you not done enough? Do you not deserve results by now?

Wake up! It's only been a week. You're not going to see results yet. You need to work harder.

People think that each action has an immediate impact. Maybe it does, on a very small level. But for the results people want, doing something once does literally nothing.

Results come from cumulative effort and work–actions taken repeatedly over time. The single biggest determining factor to success is consistency.

In today's episode, Andy discusses the cumulative effect and what it means, the benefits of committing to a healthy lifestyle, the drawbacks of neglecting our health, and what you need to do to see the results you want.

So tune in and get a reality check. Then, move forward until you gain momentum and start to see progress.

“Momentum crushes motivation every day of the week. If you rely upon motivation to get your cumulative work done, you're done. It's over.”

– Andy Naylor

In This Episode:

-You are the result of your past 4 weeks‘ work

-Results come from cumulative work - what does this mean?

-What do you need to see results?

Andy is coming hard at us aspiring optimal alphas in this episode of The Optimal Alpha Podcast that grabs you by the shirt collar and shakes you into action.

We all have the same 24 hours — but for some of us, how we spend those 24 hours is more effective than others.

And now it’s time for us all to adopt that approach when we train.

Andy offers up a super practical list of things that create momentum in our training schedule.

From maintaining a constant hydration level throughout the day to healthy sleep routines, and from managing your nervous system to eating foods that like you (and not the other way round), this is half an hour of training advice that is jam-packed with wisdom and practical tips that’ll get you the maximum ROI on your training — guaranteed.

“If you’re not getting something back that is an equivalent or better than the effort you’re putting in, you’re not getting max ROI.”

– Andy Naylor

In This Episode:

-Maximizing your training sessions — what does that mean?

-Demanding time efficiency when you train

-ROI = sustainable progress coming from each and every session

-Spending your time wisely and then proving it with the numbers

-Understanding how your setup for each session is cumulative

-Andy’s List of Actionable Strategies

How Flexible Is Your Food?

Andy Naylor — Wed, 01 Feb 2023 03:00:00 -0400

When you think of a nutrition plan, do you picture a prison–having to eat the exact same things each day and being bored out of your mind doing so? Guess what? It most definitely does not need to be this way!

In today's episode, Andy talks about food flexibility. For most people, a good deal of flexibility is very possible. So how much do you really need to be flexible? It takes a good understanding of what and how to change your meal plan to be flexible. You do not need different meals every day. Just change up some food, like changing spices, cooking methods, timing, and even do food swaps. There are other smart ways to be flexible with your food choices.

The truth is humans do not need a massive menu of different foods. Instead, we need a high-quality selection of foods that like us rather than what we like. The key to being flexible is your proper understanding of food.

Tune in and discover simple ways to be flexible with your food. With a bit of creativity, you can have unlimited options.

“A little bit of choice is good. It makes us feel like we are in control.”

– Andy Naylor

In This Episode:

- How strict does a meal plan need to be?

- What can be flexible, and how do you actually do it?

- Why be flexible with food anyway?

Exercise Execution 2.0

Andy Naylor — Wed, 04 Jan 2023 03:00:00 -0400

Welcome to a brand New Year! Today's episode is meant to dive deeper into exercise execution. Now, you might be wondering, “What’s the best exercise for abs?” or “What’s the best move to develop my body?" Well, there is no such thing as “the best” when it comes to movements. How you exercise to build your body depends on your own capacity–it varies per individual. Likewise, what's best for someone might not be the best for you. So what you have to do is master the basics of exercise execution. Proper exercise execution takes a basic understanding of how the body functions. More than the choice of exercise itself, you must know how to apply the efforts in the right direction. So pay attention as Andy explains and demonstrates what you must do to ensure you achieve your goals for 2023.

“Just understand that the more you contract the muscle, it's getting weaker; the more you're lengthening it, it's getting weaker. Remember that.”

– Andy Naylor

In This Episode:

-Active range of muscles and their three working areas

-Strength codes and resistance profiles

-Actionable items that you can apply the next time you train

Andy Naylor — Wed, 28 Dec 2022 03:00:00 -0400

How many times have you heard yourself say, “New Year, New Me?" Has it worked for you? Probably not. If you've been saying this for years, but you're just going in the same circle with no real results to show, it's time to wake up! It isn't a wise way to start the New Year. Taking care of yourself should not be a New Year goal but an ongoing priority. Sure, you're busy, but if you really need to do something and want to take action to improve your health and wellness, Andy has the best solution for you. Alphas, it's time to take control of your health! Find out how in today's episode of Optimal Alpha New Year Edition.

“When your health is taken away from you, you will sell everything, pay whatever you need to to get your health back. So, why not just take care of it in the first instance? Looking after your health and wellness is not a cost. It's an investment, for sure, possibly the best one you can ever make.”

– Andy Naylor

In This Episode:

-Why do people keep doing the same thing and expect a different result?

-Why this might not be working for you

-Something to try instead

Relentless Consistency

Andy Naylor — Wed, 30 Nov 2022 03:00:00 -0400

You've probably heard the quote, “Consistency is KING.” But what exactly does that mean? Consistency is the absolute foundation to everything we do. There are many variables specific to you and your life. And we need to treat the whole thing like an experiment. From experience, we can only change one thing at a time. So to do this, we need uber consistency in all the other areas to establish if the ONE THING we changed resulted in something good or bad. Sometimes you think you're being consistent, but you're not. So how would you know for sure?

In this episode, Andy talks about how we can practice relentless consistency in specific aspects of our health. As always, expect to learn something that will benefit you from what Andy shares today. So let's dive in!

“Your personal self-growth is your responsibility, no one else's, and consistency is KING. There is no point doing something very well for one day and then not the next.”

– Andy Naylor

In This Episode:

-What is true consistency? - How to keep as many variables as stable as possible

-Where you might be falling down - The obvious ones are food, hydration, training, sleep, and supplements; the list is endless

-What are the steps to take to get better? - What are the easiest ones for you to fix RIGHT NOW?

Come January, many people will declare their New Year’s resolution, and getting fit or having an incredible physique will be at the top of the list.

Who Do You Need To Become?

Andy Naylor — Wed, 16 Nov 2022 03:00:00 -0400

Getting in the shape of your life is great! Achieving optimal physique and health is excellent! People put a great emphasis on looking great because first impressions matter. If we want to be successful, we must appear to be a success, and being in shape is a massive part of this. It is not something we can bypass. But if you haven't achieved these goals, there's no one else to blame but you. So stop blaming other people and other things. It's your fault. Accept that and move on. Those of you who cannot accept that will remain stuck exactly where you are. But if you choose to push forward, you must become the person you need to be to reach those goals. To better understand this reality, tune in as Andy explains this topic in great detail. Then think about what changes you can make from this moment forward. Your life is in your hands. And who you become is entirely up to you.

“Your life is in your hands, no one else's. It is, in fact, your fault and yours alone that you have not yet reached your goals.”

Training Series 1 [Exercise Execution 101]

Andy Naylor — Wed, 09 Nov 2022 03:00:00 -0400

What exactly is your goal in going to the gym? If your ultimate goal is optimizing your body, you’re not going to a gym to lift weights and use machines. Lifting weights, the movements, and the machines help you do what you must do, but your goal is really to target specific muscle groups. Our body does not want to change; it wants to be efficient. So we have to put it in a situation where it has no choice but to adapt.

Welcome to a bonus episode in our training series. Pay close attention because this topic definitely gives you some practical advantages.

“Changing your body is hard, it's difficult, especially building muscle. Dropping fat is a lot easier than building muscle. It happens a lot quicker; it's easier to do. Building muscle is far more difficult, far more challenging.”

– Andy Naylor

In This Episode:

-Exercise execution - Your form, how you move, the intention of the movement, and the position you put your body in

-Why it matters - You don't want to waste time and energy, plus your body does not want to change; it wants to be efficient

-Here are some examples - Movements, depths, tempo, stability, and range of movements

Training Series 1 [When to Change Things Up]

Andy Naylor — Wed, 02 Nov 2022 03:00:00 -0400

Are you getting bored doing the same training program for a month or even longer and have stopped seeing results? You probably think it may be time to change things up. But that's not exactly the right thing to do.

In this episode, Andy talks about why people change things up, why it's not a wise move and the better solution. If there's one thing you must do, be more methodical and laser-focused in your approach. Stick to movements that work for you until you extract the maximum progress over time. Then, you can swap one activity at a time. Finally, focus on your long-term goal.

Listen if you want to know how to overcome this feeling of boredom and discover a better option instead of changing things up indiscriminately.

“If the result is not the thing that is the most important to you, swap everything you like, do what you want, I don't care. But what I see from people who swap things is a complete lack of consistency in the training.”

Training Series 1 [The Three Big Variables]

Andy Naylor — Wed, 19 Oct 2022 03:00:00 -0400

You have three main variables to play with after creating your training split and selecting your favored exercises. Of course, you cannot max out all three, there must be a balance, but do you even know what they are?

In this 3rd episode of Andy's new training series, he talks about the three key variables you must balance: volume, intensity, and frequency. Your job is to create a plan, stick with it, monitor progress and results, and then adjust ONE thing at a time to see if you can make better progress.

Tune in to the episode to learn more about the three key areas and how you can balance them out properly to achieve your goals.

“You just need to make a plan. Decide what it is that you're gonna do and then run it. And then watch what happens. Track the results. Standardize everything else, your food, your water, your rest, your sleep, your intensity.”

– Andy Naylor

In This Episode:

-Volume - Weight x Reps x Sets: The volume of the work you're doing needs to go up over time. If not, you have a problem!

-Intensity - How HARD do you train? Most people think they have this figured out when in fact, it's the one thing most people are worst at

-Frequency - How often do you train a muscle or body part?

-These three variables do not work in isolation - How do you balance the variables so you can achieve your goals?

Training Series 1 [Exercise Selection]

Andy Naylor — Wed, 12 Oct 2022 03:00:00 -0400

Your mate squats, so you squat. You hear you need to do bench press, so you do. But have you ever stopped to think about the movements you have chosen to do and WHY? The selection of exercises on a given day is not the same for everyone. It should depend on your goal and the condition of your body. You wouldn't want to risk injuring yourself by doing movements that are bad for you. So how do you choose the right exercises?

In this 2nd episode of Andy's new training series, he explains what you need to know about exercise selection. After listening, examine why you have chosen the movements you're doing and determine if they are what you really need to get the results you want.

“You've got to stick to things and manipulate them methodically.”

– Andy Naylor

In This Episode:

-What is exercise selection? There's a massive menu of movements, and you need to select what you want and WHY

-Are there good and bad movements? Yes and No. Here's what that means…

-How do I choose the optimal exercise for me? There are questions you must answer.

Training Series 1 [Training Splits]

Andy Naylor — Wed, 05 Oct 2022 03:00:00 -0400

How do you know if your training split is right for you and your goal? Did you just copy what someone else is doing or grab something from Google or YouTube? If your plan was not written specifically for YOU, then it most likely is nowhere near optimal for you and your goals. You'll end up with wasted effort with no actual results. So what must you do?

Today, Andy is starting a new training series focusing on the basics. Unfortunately, most people can't get the basics right before they go on to more advanced stuff and wonder why they go around in circles. This is the first episode in a 5-part series. So make sure you listen and discover how you can design the optimal training program for you.

“How do I work out what is the most optimal split for me? Because what's right for you is not right for me, is not right for someone else. It has to be individualized.”

– Andy Naylor

In This Episode:

-What is a training split? The What, Where, and How

-What options are available? There are endless options, and Andy presents some of those options.

-How do I work out what is optimal for me? First, you have to answer some questions, and then you can devise a plan that's right for you.

Never Squat for Big Legs

Andy Naylor — Wed, 28 Sep 2022 03:00:00 -0400

Have you been blindly following the practice of doing a specific set of movements to get the desired result? How has that worked for you? If you do not see results, it's time you drop these one size fits all MUST DO movements.

The truth is, it's simply not the movement. It’s HOW you do it and HOW it fits YOU. So try a move, give it a run for 6-8 weeks and track progress. In this episode, Andy walks you through some of the usual movements that gym instructors ask you to do, why specific moves may not be suitable for you, and the wiser approach that will get you the results.

“There are no MUST DO movements–they don't exist. There are MUST DO movements for you as an individual, but you've gotta do the damn work to find out what they are, and be patient along that journey.”

– Andy Naylor

In This Episode:

-You must do THIS to get THAT. Is there such a thing as a MUST DO exercise to get a specific result?

-Why the idea of MUST DO exercises is a load of sh*t. It's simply NOT the movement. It's HOW you do it and HOW it fits YOU.

-What's a WISER approach? Answer these questions to help you determine if the exercises are right for you.

Andy Naylor — Mon, 22 Aug 2022 03:15:00 -0400

It’s All 80% Nutrition ... Right?

Andy Naylor — Thu, 11 Aug 2022 03:15:00 -0400

“Getting in shape is 80% nutrition,” right? Wrong! Andy Naylor debunks one of the fitness industry’s most misguided catchphrases as he applies his catch-all philosophy that looks at your health as a WHOLE. Andy challenges you by asking more pertinent questions, like what goals have you set? What effort are you putting in? And what rest are you getting? In this episode, Andy reminds us that when it comes to wellness, we move toward the things that we are focusing on – and that nutrition is only one slice of a much bigger health and fitness pie. We can achieve much greater things by examining the ways we look at HOW we get into shape.

“Consistency doesn’t happen by accident. It takes planning, preparation, and desire. Those things take a bit of bandwidth. So you’ve got to take a little bit away from nutrition to get these other areas to work as well as you want them to.”

– Andy Naylor

In This Episode:

- While it’s true that you can’t out-train a bad diet, focusing on nutrition alone to get in shape is short-sighted if you have holistic health goals.

- How to make a pie chart and see where you are currently putting in the effort – and how you can then improve

- Assessing your habits and daily behaviors and how they align with your goals

- Is your mindset encompassing the ideas of accountability and consistency, and are you putting in the right effort and planning?

- A great body is a healthy body – and it’s built by giving all the areas the respect and focus that they are due.
