The Ripped Body® Podcast

Jon has been training for 15 years.He tracks his calories, hits his protein, plans his cuts, and sticks to the plan.And yet he's still never been able to get as lean as he wants...Which means he's always stopped his bulks short of the time needed to grow enough muscle to make a difference.Sound familiar?In this week’s episode, we dig into why.Because this isn’t a motivation problem, nor a knowledge problem either, it’s what happens when you’re doing almost everything right, but missing a few key pieces that are holding you back.------------Since 2011, we’ve helped 2,000+ busy men get lean, strong, and in control — without supplements, gimmicks, or sacrificing their lives to the gym.👉 Get our Free 15-Day Transformation Kickstart Bundle (https://rippedbody.com/)(Training program, nutrition guide, and 15-step course to help you avoid the most common mistakes.)

This week’s podcast is about a frustrating place many people eventually reach.Ryan, 47, a father of four, is on a mission he calls Project 50.He started strength training three years ago and has done an incredible job transforming his health, dropping 30 lbs — which I'd estimate means 40 lbs of fat loss and 10 lbs of muscle gain. Bravo!But now he’s stuck.Not because he doesn’t know what to do, but arguably, because he knows (and consumes) too much, and he can't decide.Should he keep cutting? Start a lean bulk? Take a break?Every option seems right… and wrong… at the same time.In this episode, I help Ryan move forward from his decision paralysis.We talk about:Is it time to purge his algorithm of fitness content?How to decide between cutting and bulking (without overthinking it).Why the feelings about your body will never fully line up.The mistake that causes most people to spin their wheels for months or years.And how to make a decision he's actually stick to.If you’ve ever felt stuck and unable to pick a direction, this episode is for you.------------Since 2011, we’ve helped 2,000+ busy men get lean, strong, and in control — without supplements, gimmicks, or sacrificing their lives to the gym.👉 Get our Free 15-Day Transformation Kickstart Bundle (https://rippedbody.com/)(Training program, nutrition guide, and 15-step course to help you avoid the most common mistakes.)

This week’s podcast covers situations that I am sure many busy working dads will recognize in themselves.Today's guest, Sayer, is now fit, lean, and athletic. He lifts, rock climbs, officiates high-level sports, works a demanding remote IT job, and shuttles two very active kids between practices and games. From the outside, there’s nothing "wrong."In the last three years, he has escaped the skinny fat trap by cutting and dropping 20 lbs of fat, and then successfully bulking for 14 months after that. But he now finds himself gaining and losing the same 5–10 lbs, struggling for motivation, and wondering whether to push forward, pull back, or simply protect what he’s built.Instead of forcing another bulk or cut, we explore a different idea:What if we turn his next phase into a 6-month experiment to find how little he can do while maintaining his physique?------------Since 2011, we’ve helped 2,000+ busy men get lean, strong, and in control — without supplements, gimmicks, or sacrificing their lives to the gym.👉 Get our Free 15-Day Transformation Kickstart Bundle (https://rippedbody.com/)(Training program, nutrition guide, and 15-step course to help you avoid the most common mistakes.)

This week’s podcast is one of my favorite kinds of conversations.Shelby, 41 from Oklahoma, describes himself as a "regular guy with regular guy problems." In reality, he’s a single dad of four boys who’s lost close to 90 pounds, rebuilt his health, and designed his life so progress happens by default — not through white-knuckle discipline.This isn’t a transformation story driven by obsession. It’s about preventing bad decisions before they happen, making workouts unavoidable, and redefining success as the ability to say yes when life offers something physical.In this episode, we talk about:Why environment beats willpower every time.How Shelby trains seven days a week without burning out.The power of "non-negotiable" routines.Why food rules can work better than food restraint.And how long-term fitness is really about capability, not leanness.Let’s get into it.------------Since 2011, we’ve helped 2,000+ busy men get lean, strong, and in control — without supplements, gimmicks, or sacrificing their lives to the gym.👉 Get our Free 15-Day Transformation Kickstart Bundle (https://rippedbody.com/)(Training program, nutrition guide, and 15-step course to help you avoid the most common mistakes.)

Today I’m joined by Paul. He is 50, lives in Switzerland, has a demanding corporate job, and is an avid alpine skier. He’s also someone who’s stayed naturally lean most of his life — abs included — without much effort.This conversation is about what happens when that natural leanness becomes the thing holding you back. We talk about rebuilding after repeated injuries, training for robustness rather than aesthetics, and why deliberately gaining weight — even losing your abs — can be a smart investment if your real goal is staying strong, athletic, and injury-free for the next 10 to 15 years.Let’s get into it.------------Since 2011, we’ve helped 2,000+ busy men get lean, strong, and in control — without supplements, gimmicks, or sacrificing their lives to the gym.👉 Get our Free 15-Day Transformation Kickstart Bundle (https://rippedbody.com/)(Training program, nutrition guide, and 15-step course to help you avoid the most common mistakes.)

Today’s conversation is with Don Selkirk. Don is 52, has trained consistently for decades, and has a physique most people would be more than happy with. But like many experienced trainees, a small visual cue in the mirror was enough to trigger a familiar thought: “I should probably tighten this up before it gets away from me.”In this episode, I help Don plan his cut to trim the 15 lbs of fat he’s slowly gained over the past year, and then return to maintenance in a way that minimizes intrusions into his life, so he can maintain it forever.Let’s get into it.Relevant links:https://rippedbody.com/finding-calorie-maintenance/https://rippedbody.com/diet-break------------Since 2011, we’ve helped 2,000+ busy men get lean, strong, and in control — without supplements, gimmicks, or sacrificing their lives to the gym.👉 Get our Free 15-Day Transformation Kickstart Bundle (https://rippedbody.com/)(Training program, nutrition guide, and 15-step course to help you avoid the most common mistakes.)

This week’s podcast is for the people who already know what to do, but can’t seem to make it stick.Nico (42), originally from Venice, Italy, but now living in Austin, has a demanding career, trains regularly, eats well, and stays lean year-round. From the outside, he’s doing everything "right."Yet for the last five years, he’s felt quietly stuck — unable to push past the same plateau, unable to regain the muscle he once had, and slowly losing motivation despite having all the knowledge.This wasn’t a conversation about macros or programming. It was about why progress stalls when life gets full — travel, work, relationships, comfort — and how losing momentum often has less to do with discipline and more to do with belief, tracking, and commitment.If you’ve ever thought, "I should be further along than this," this one will hit close to home.------------Since 2011, we’ve helped 2,000+ busy men get lean, strong, and in control — without supplements, gimmicks, or sacrificing their lives to the gym.👉 Get our Free 15-Day Transformation Kickstart Bundle (https://rippedbody.com/)(Training program, nutrition guide, and 15-step course to help you avoid the most common mistakes.)

Today, I’m speaking with Jon. He’s a Brit who used to be ripped at 50. — That was when he lived in Australia.But for the past 7 years, he’s been back in the UK, and his fitness has gone downhill.He’s heavier than ever, and coming off a knee replacement, a fused foot, and months of disrupted training. The gap between what he remembers and what he sees in the mirror is messing with his head.In this episode, we unpack a problem I see all the time in experienced trainees:When your past best physique becomes your worst comparison point.Jon’s notunfit. He’s disciplined, consistent, and still training hard. But clinging to the idea that he should look the same at 55 as he did at 50 has sapped his motivation.We talk through how to reset expectations without lowering standards, why rushing to get his abs back is the wrong move, and how leaning out first will make everything else easier — from joint health to cardio to long-term consistency.Links mentioned:https://www.strongerbyscience.com/research-spotlight-metabolic-rate/https://rippedbody.com/diet-progress-tracking------------Since 2011, we’ve helped 2,000+ busy men get lean, strong, and in control — without supplements, gimmicks, or sacrificing their lives to the gym.👉 Get our Free 15-Day Transformation Kickstart Bundle (https://rippedbody.com/)(Training program, nutrition guide, and 15-step course to help you avoid the most common mistakes.)

2026 has arrived, which means you’ve probably been bombarded with all sorts of fitness advice, hacks, and shortcuts. We know it can be hard to sort through the noise, and we want to help you avoid the most common fitness mistakes we see as people are making New Year’s resolutions.In this episode, Ripped Body coaches Sam and Matt go over the most common mistakes, and how to avoid them, to make sure you start the year on the right foot. They also share a few of their own resolutions for the year, discussing goals both in and out of the gym.------------Since 2011, we’ve helped 2,000+ busy men get lean, strong, and in control — without supplements, gimmicks, or sacrificing their lives to the gym.👉 Get our Free 15-Day Transformation Kickstart Bundle (https://rippedbody.com/)(Training program, nutrition guide, and 15-step course to help you avoid the most common mistakes.)

If fitness feels more confusing now than it did five or ten years ago, you’re not imagining it.This week on the podcast, I’m joined by **Dr. Eric Helms** to talk about *why* we wrote the Muscle & Strength Pyramid books in the first place, and why, a decade later, we decided to completely rewrite them for the third editions.This isn’t a marketing episode. It’s a conversation about information overload, false precision, and why most people aren’t stuck because they lack effort — they’re stuck because they’re trying to do too many things at once.In this episode, we discuss:- Why fitness advice has become noisier, not clearer.- How the Pyramid frameworks help you filter what matters from what doesn’t.- Why flexibility done right *improves* results instead of watering them down.- The difference between “progressive overload” and actual progression.- How to train, eat, and live without sacrificing relationships or sanity.We also walk through what’s new in the third editions.If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by fitness content, this episode will help you zoom out, calm down, and focus on the levers that actually move the needle.------------Since 2011, we’ve helped 2,000+ busy men get lean, strong, and in control — without supplements, gimmicks, or sacrificing their lives to the gym.👉 Get our Free 15-Day Transformation Kickstart Bundle (https://rippedbody.com/)(Training program, nutrition guide, and 15-step course to help you avoid the most common mistakes.)

This week on the podcast, I’m joined by my good friend Chad Landers, a coach who’s been training people hands-on for more than 30 years and recently published ​Building Strength and Muscle After 50​. Chad isn’t an influencer. He’s someone who’s spent decades watching real people train, get hurt, recover, and keep going.If you’re over 40 and still want to train hard and stay healthy, Chad is someone worth listening to.------------Since 2011, we’ve helped 2,000+ busy men get lean, strong, and in control — without supplements, gimmicks, or sacrificing their lives to the gym.👉 Get our Free 15-Day Transformation Kickstart Bundle (https://rippedbody.com/)(Training program, nutrition guide, and 15-step course to help you avoid the most common mistakes.)

Whether you’re just starting your fitness journey, you’ve been a little inconsistent in the gym and want some routine, or you’re simply looking to change up your workout program, choosing the right training split can be a little confusing.In this episode, Ripped Body coaches Sam and Matt explain how to choose the right training program for your goals. They talk about the important factors to consider, the pros and cons of popular workout splits, common splits we give our clients, and share the programs they’re currently using for themselves.------------Since 2011, we’ve helped 2,000+ busy men get lean, strong, and in control — without supplements, gimmicks, or sacrificing their lives to the gym.👉 Get our Free 15-Day Transformation Kickstart Bundle (https://rippedbody.com/)(Training program, nutrition guide, and 15-step course to help you avoid the most common mistakes.)

Once the diet ends, most people don’t know what to do next.In this episode, Coach Matt and I talk about how to transition from fat loss to maintenance without panic or rebound. And then we talk about finding the least training you can do to maintain your physique.We use Fred’s story — a reader who dropped from 360 lbs to 166 — as a real-world example of what to expect when you stop cutting and start maintaining.We cover:How to calculate your maintenance calories after a deficit.Why regaining 5–10 lbs after a cut is normal (and not fat).What "maximum maintenance" means — and how to find it.How to reduce training volume without losing muscle.Why maintaining your physique is often harder mentally than dieting.This episode will help you end the "yo-yo" cycle and finally hold onto the results you’ve worked for.------------Since 2011, we’ve helped 2,000+ busy men get lean, strong, and in control — without supplements, gimmicks, or sacrificing their lives to the gym.👉 Get our Free 15-Day Transformation Kickstart Bundle (https://rippedbody.com/)(Training program, nutrition guide, and 15-step course to help you avoid the most common mistakes.)

Todd, a father of six, spent two decades in engineering and renewable energy. At 48, he decided it was time to re-engineer something else: his own life.Todd walked away from his career — not because he had to, but because he wanted to. He called it an "environment change." His goal was simple: finally take his health seriously, rebuild family connections, and reinvent himself.Three months later, he’s down nearly 40 pounds and delighted with the success he has had. But he’s also confronting new challenges: how to avoid the all-or-nothing mindset, how to eat sustainably instead of obsessively, and how to set goals that last beyond the initial rush of progress.In this episode, we dig into:Why Todd’s “temporary retirement” became the forcing function for change.How he lost 28 lbs in 34 days, and what really happened behind the numbers.Why aggressive dieting works short-term but fails without a plan afterward.How to reintroduce carbs without fear, and why this is necessary for his path forward.------------Since 2011, we’ve helped 2,000+ busy men get lean, strong, and in control — without supplements, gimmicks, or sacrificing their lives to the gym.👉 Get our Free 15-Day Transformation Kickstart Bundle (https://rippedbody.com/)(Training program, nutrition guide, and 15-step course to help you avoid the most common mistakes.)

This week, Coach Sam joins me for a new Q&A episode. I put him to the test by asking him to answer a reader’s question — one I’d already answered myself — to see how closely his advice matched mine.**Q: “Two months ago, I finished a two-month weight loss program. I’m 6'0" and weighed 248 lbs. I lost 41 pounds and feel great. I ate twice a day — each meal was about 5 ounces of lean meat, high-fiber veggies, and berries. I was full, but my daily intake was around 1,000 kcal.I’m now in maintenance, but would like to lose another 20 pounds of fat and gain some muscle. I’m 56 and just started swimming three times a week. I also want to add lifting. Your [macro calculator](https://rippedbody.com/macro-calculator/) put me at almost 3,000 kcal per day — that seems high. Can you help? I’m committed. Thanks.”How do our answers compare?

Today, I’m joined by Chris, who went from 170 lbs to an unsustainable 118 lbs by eating just five foods and hammering cardio. That crash diet left scars — binge-restrict cycles, fear of weight gain, and self-doubt.But over the past few years, Chris has rebuilt. He bulked up slowly, learned sustainable habits, and is now cutting again — this time without obsession or burnout. We talk about breaking free from the numbers game, training smarter, and learning to live a full life while chasing progress in the gym.------------Since 2011, we’ve helped 2,000+ busy men get lean, strong, and in control — without supplements, gimmicks, or sacrificing their lives to the gym.👉 Get our Free 15-Day Transformation Kickstart Bundle (https://rippedbody.com/)(Training program, nutrition guide, and 15-step course to help you avoid the most common mistakes.)

 This week, Ripped Body coaches Sam and Matt break down why people often feel “stuck” in their fat loss journey, even when they’re consistent with training and nutrition. They walk through the most common reasons for stalled progress, how to troubleshoot your fat loss, and when (and how) to make adjustments. ------------Since 2011, we’ve helped 2,000+ busy men get lean, strong, and in control — without supplements, gimmicks, or sacrificing their lives to the gym.👉 Get our Free 15-Day Transformation Kickstart Bundle (https://rippedbody.com/)(Training program, nutrition guide, and 15-step course to help you avoid the most common mistakes.)

Chandler is a form of client of mine. He’s a 42 year-old father of two young boys living in Savannah, Georgia. We work together 11 years ago when he got stuck, and we managed to make a level change in his physique. In the year since Chandler has diligently kept up his training and progress tracking, tried different training styles, and tried cutting and bulking many times, but he hasn't been able to break through the plateau since.Has he reached his genetic potential? Is there something that has been missing? I think so. And frankly, I think the answer is hiding in plain sight and it goes back to what we did when we first work together.I hope you enjoy this conversation with Chandler. I'm sure it will resonate with many of you who have made some good progress but are now feeling stuck and unsure how to break through the plateau.------------Since 2011, we’ve helped 2,000+ busy men get lean, strong, and in control — without supplements, gimmicks, or sacrificing their lives to the gym.👉 Get our Free 15-Day Transformation Kickstart Bundle (https://rippedbody.com/)(Training program, nutrition guide, and 15-step course to help you avoid the most common mistakes.)

Joe’s beaten obesity and kept the weight off for years — but every bulk ends in failure. Why?On the face of it, it looks like he has been doing everything right. But when we dig in, there are a couple of simple tweaks I believe he can make that will help him take his physique permanently to the next level. Best of all, I'm confident he can do it within two years.We talk about:- The *moment* he decided to change after hitting rock bottom.- How CrossFit helped him kickstart his transformation.- The mistakes that cost him hard-earned muscle during past cuts.- Why long, patient bulks are the missing piece in his journey.- How to push through the mental battles of seeing the scale climb.------------Since 2011, we’ve helped 2,000+ busy men get lean, strong, and in control — without supplements, gimmicks, or sacrificing their lives to the gym.👉 Get our Free 15-Day Transformation Kickstart Bundle (https://rippedbody.com/)(Training program, nutrition guide, and 15-step course to help you avoid the most common mistakes.

Most people don’t quit training because they don’t get results. They quit because their expectations didn’t match reality.In this episode, Sam and I dig into a real coaching application where someone claimed to have gained 20 pounds of muscle in six months, based on body fat devices and faulty tracking.We talk about why this isn’t possible, the bigger problem in the fitness industry (coaches telling clients what they want to hear), and why being brutally honest up front is our preferred way to build trust.We cover:Why body fat progress-tracking methods like BIA machines give false hope.The real pace of muscle gain for intermediates vs. beginners.How unrealistic expectations poison coaching relationships.Why intelligent people often get stuck questioning instead of doing.What a realistic bulk-and-cut cycle actually looks like.If you’ve ever wondered whether your expectations are helping or hurting your progress, this episode is worth your time.------------Since 2011, we’ve helped 2,000+ busy men get lean, strong, and in control — without supplements, gimmicks, or sacrificing their lives to the gym.👉 Get our Free 15-Day Transformation Kickstart Bundle (https://rippedbody.com/)(Training program, nutrition guide, and 15-step course to help you avoid the most common mistakes.)

What if the reason you’re stuck isn’t a lack of knowledge or skills… but mindset?That’s the core idea behind Itamar Marani’s new book [*Elite Performance*](https://itamarmarani.com/book/).I'm delighted to have Itamar back on the Podcast. He is a former Israeli special forces operator, coached by the Mossad’s former chief psychologist, who now helps entrepreneurs and high-performers get out of their own way.In this conversation, we talk about:- The "face-punch" question that reveals whether mindset is holding you back.- Why adding more pressure usually lowers performance instead of raising it.- The five-step blueprint from his book to win the war within.- How to build guardrails that protect your family, fitness, and happiness while chasing goals.- The difference between *pursuing excellence* and falling into *perfectionism.*This episode is about doing more — sustainably, strategically, and without sabotaging yourself.Itamar’s book, “Elite Performance: The Israeli special ops mindset system to win the war within and achieve audacious goals” is available for pre order now and will be released October 1st. https://itamarmarani.com/book/------------Since 2011, we’ve helped 2,000+ busy men get lean, strong, and in control — without supplements, gimmicks, or sacrificing their lives to the gym.👉 Get our Free 15-Day Transformation Kickstart Bundle (https://rippedbody.com/)(Training program, nutrition guide, and 15-step course to help you avoid the most common mistakes.

In this episode, Ripped Body coaches Matt and Sam break down the biggest mistakes people make when starting a diet — and the smarter, sustainable strategies to replace them with.They discuss:Why going “all in” backfires (and what to do instead)The hidden danger of quick fixes and fitness fadsWhy motivation won’t save you — but systems willThe overlooked importance of having an “exit plan”How information overload kills consistencyBy the end, you’ll know exactly what to avoid — and how to start your next diet the right way.------------Since 2011, we’ve helped 2,000+ busy men get lean, strong, and in control — without supplements, gimmicks, or sacrificing their lives to the gym.👉 Get our Free 15-Day Transformation Kickstart Bundle (https://rippedbody.com/)(Training program, nutrition guide, and 15-step course to help you avoid the most common mistakes.)

In 2014, Jason went from 225 lbs to 145 lbs in just nine months — and he’s kept it off for 10 years.At 52 years old and has the physique of a boxer in his primeJason is a former Navy rescue squadron member with the mental toughness to diet on 750 calories a day, train hard, and never look back.But now, he’s sick of the plateau and has a new goal in mind: adding 10 lbs. of muscle and finally hitting a 225 lbs. bench press.The catch?It means eating more, losing his abs for the first time in a decade… and facing the mental battle that comes with it.In this episode, we talk about:- How extreme weight loss shaped his relationship with food and body image- Why visible abs have become a mental anchor — and a barrier- Two different strategies to gain muscle without losing his mind- The trade-offs between “doing it right” and “doing it safe”- How to set progression targets when you’re already close to your potential------------Since 2011, we’ve helped 2,000+ busy men get lean, strong, and in control — without supplements, gimmicks, or sacrificing their lives to the gym.👉 Get our Free 15-Day Transformation Kickstart Bundle (https://rippedbody.com/)(Training program, nutrition guide, and 15-step course to help you avoid the most common mistakes.)

We’re kicking off a new Q&A series on the Ripped Body Podcast. Today, I sit down with Ripped Body Coach Matt to answer listener questions. In this first session, we cover:👉 Should you adjust calories when deloading?👉 What's a good alternative for dips if they hurt?👉 Are strength drops normal?We also dive into progression systems — linear vs. double progression — and why chasing perfection with the wrong approach can leave you frustrated or even injured.------------Since 2011, we’ve helped 2,000+ busy men get lean, strong, and in control — without supplements, gimmicks, or sacrificing their lives to the gym.👉 Get our Free 15-Day Transformation Kickstart Bundle (https://rippedbody.com/)(Training program, nutrition guide, and 15-step course to help you avoid the most common mistakes.)

Hi, I’m Andy, and welcome to another episode of the Ripped Body Podcast, where we explore what it really takes to build and maintain a strong, lean physique — without sacrificing your sanity or your life outside the gym.When Jay first reached out, he wanted help refining his plan to build a superhero-like physique — something lean, muscular, and impressive for his young daughter to look up to.But he is already in great shape! And what unfolded in our conversation wasn’t a discussion about macros, training splits, or the fastest way to drop fat.Instead, it became about letting go.Letting go of all-or-nothing thinking. Letting go of pressure to always do more. Letting go of the idea that being "less than perfect" means falling behind.Because when we dug in, he realized that the biggest gift he could give to himself and his family right now, was learning to to do less and be ok with that.------------Since 2011, we’ve helped 2,000+ busy men get lean, strong, and in control — without supplements, gimmicks, or sacrificing their lives to the gym.👉 Get our Free 15-Day Transformation Kickstart Bundle(Training program, nutrition guide, and 15-step course to help you avoid the most common mistakes.)

Hi, I’m Andy, and welcome to another episode of the Ripped Body Podcast where I interview listeners and newsletter subscribers, and help them understand what they need to do, to take their physiques to the next level, without the process taking over their lives.Today I’m speaking with Fred. Fred has lost more than half his body weight — and kept it off for two decades. But this isn’t just a story of fat loss. It’s about persistence, identity, and learning to love the process long after the novelty wears off.In this episode, Fred shares how he went from 360 pounds to a 173-pound marathon runner… and why he still doesn’t see himself as "fit" in the mirror. We talk about the long road to building a new identity, the struggle to push through plateaus, and how he’s now chasing a different kind of finish line: finally seeing his abs, for the first time ever.Let’s get into it.------------Since 2011, we’ve helped 2,000+ busy men get lean, strong, and in control — without supplements, gimmicks, or sacrificing their lives to the gym.👉 Get our Free 15-Day Transformation Kickstart Bundle(Training program, nutrition guide, and 15-step course to help you avoid the most common mistakes.)

Last Sunday, I had a freak accident while cycling that resulted in a broken arm and three torn shoulder ligaments. So I decided to jump on a call with Ripped Body Coach Sam to explain my recovery plan.This episode isn’t a pity party. It’s the recovery blueprint I’m following — and the mindset that’s keeping me from spiraling while I can’t train normally.We've worked with thousands of clients over the years. Occasionally, people get injured. We always help them work through it. Now it's my time to walk the walk.We cover:👉 How I’m adapting my training during rehab.👉 The nutrition changes I’m making to support healing (without gaining excess fat).👉 Why this might actually be the perfect time to improve other areas of my fitness.👉 How I'm mentally framing things to deal with the frustration.Whether you’re sidelined by injury now or just want to know how to handle it if it happens, this may be worth a listen.------------Since 2011, we’ve helped 2,000+ busy men get lean, strong, and in control — without supplements, gimmicks, or sacrificing their lives to the gym.👉 Get our Free 15-Day Transformation Kickstart Bundle(Training program, nutrition guide, and 15-step course to help you avoid the most common mistakes.)

Brian is an engineer living in New York, a disciplined calisthenics enthusiast, and one of the most thoughtful guests I’ve ever had on.Eighteen months ago, when Brian returned to Malaysia to visit his family, his parents commented they were worried about how skinny he had gotten. — They didn't realize how hard he had been working to unfatten himself after an unsuccessful dream bulk. Nonetheless, he made a promise to his family, that the next time they saw him, he’d be bigger, stronger, healthier, and more confident.Since then, he’s been tracking his calories, weighing himself daily, and has emailed to ask me the kind of smart, self-aware questions that most people avoid.In today’s episode, we talk about how his mindset evolved, the trap of trying to gain muscle without any fat, and what it will take to gain the 10 lbs of muscle he is after.Let’s dive in!------------Since 2011, we’ve helped 2,000+ busy men get lean, strong, and in control — without supplements, gimmicks, or sacrificing their lives to the gym.👉 Get our Free 15-Day Transformation Kickstart Bundle(Training program, nutrition guide, and 15-step course to help you avoid the most common mistakes.)

Scott was one of the first clients I ever coached — and one of the first client transformations I ever posted online.At his leanest, he was absolutely shredded. But that was over a decade ago.Since then, life happened — including a multi-year battle with cancer, time off from training, and a long road back to health.Now 50, Scott’s strong again. Back in the gym. Lifting heavy. Building momentum.But recently someone asked him, "Do you still work out?" And that simple comment triggered something he didn’t expect — a wave of doubt, reflection, and ultimately, renewed drive to get lean again.This podcast episode is about what it takes to get back on the path — when you’ve already been through hell and back.------------Since 2011, we’ve helped 2,000+ busy men get lean, strong, and in control — without supplements, gimmicks, or sacrificing their lives to the gym.👉 Get our Free 15-Day Transformation Kickstart Bundle(Training program, nutrition guide, and 15-step course to help you avoid the most common mistakes.)

This One’s Personal.While updating our Client Onboarding Guidelines this week, I found myself going off on a bit of a rant.Fifteen years ago, my cousin died of a heart attack. I was too broke to fly back for the funeral. I’ve regretted that ever since.So when I see dangerous diet trends gaining traction — the kind that could quietly send someone else’s cousin to an early grave — I can’t stay quiet.Let me be clear: I don’t dispute that some people have had success with the Carnivore diet in addressing certain health issues. That’s great, and I don’t take issue with people sharing those experiences.What I do take issue with is when those anecdotes are twisted into broad recommendations. Worse: when they’re paired with anti-science claims about seed oils, and used to justify sky-high saturated fat intakes.This boom in saturated-fat-pushing, seed-oil-demonizing advice?It’s not going to end well for a lot of people.---Further Reading 📘 From Sigma Nutrition:​Cholesterol, Lipoproteins & Lipids: Understanding CVD Risk​​The Impact of Diet on Blood Lipids​​How Diet Influences Heart Disease Risk​​The History of Fat, Cholesterol & Heart Disease​ (Podcast)🧠 From Uproot Nutrition:​A Comprehensive Rebuttal to Seed Oil Sophistry​------------Since 2011, we’ve helped 2,000+ busy men get lean, strong, and in control — without supplements, gimmicks, or sacrificing their lives to the gym.👉 Get our Free 15-Day Transformation Kickstart Bundle(Training program, nutrition guide, and 15-step course to help you avoid the most common mistakes.)

Savio grew up the chubby kid — avoiding pools, hiding behind crossed arms, and feeling the weight of insecurity long before he ever picked up a weight.Now in his 30s, he moved from Canada to live in Vietnam with his wife, but he is still chasing the same goal that’s been with him for half his life: to finally see abs. But as he tries to diet down, self-doubt, conflicting advice, and the temptation to “adjust something” too soon keep creeping in.We talk about how to stay objective, the hierarchy of training and nutrition priorities, and how to know when to push versus when to hold steady.------------Since 2011, we’ve helped 2,000+ busy men get lean, strong, and in control — without supplements, gimmicks, or sacrificing their lives to the gym.👉 Get our Free 15-Day Transformation Kickstart Bundle(Training program, nutrition guide, and 15-step course to help you avoid the most common mistakes.)

Don’t be fooled by how fit he looks.Don is 6’4”, 180 lbs, lean, and strong—but what makes his story special isn’t what you see now. It’s the journey he has been on.He’s a 41-year-old father of three who used to weigh 250 lbs. He’s yo-yo dieted for over a decade. He even got liposuction once because he thought it would help him feel “enough.”But what really changed his life was when he broke the all-or-nothing mindset that held him back.And in this conversation, Don shares exactly how he did that. We explore what he needs to do next, with a particular focus on troubleshooting his training, so that he doesn't get caught in cycles of injury as he has done in the past.------------Since 2011, we’ve helped 2,000+ busy men get lean, strong, and in control — without supplements, gimmicks, or sacrificing their lives to the gym.👉 Get our Free 15-Day Transformation Kickstart Bundle(Training program, nutrition guide, and 15-step course to help you avoid the most common mistakes.)

Brian, a 44-year-old father of three, has already done the hard thing — he lost 40 pounds, got lean, built serious strength, and learned to fuel himself like an athlete.But now, years later, with more on his plate and less room for perfection, he’s looking to get back into shape and is wondering: “Why isn’t what worked before working now?”We talk about the pressure of setting an example for his kids, the frustration of stalled progress despite doing everything “right,” how he’s learning to trade perfection for sustainability, and what he needs to do differently to get unstuck.------------Since 2011, we’ve helped 2,000+ busy men get lean, strong, and in control — without supplements, gimmicks, or sacrificing their lives to the gym.👉 Get our Free 15-Day Transformation Kickstart Bundle(Training program, nutrition guide, and 15-step course to help you avoid the most common mistakes.)

Today I’m joined by Justin — a 42-year-old stay-at-home dad, former diesel mechanic, and garage business owner who's been working hard to build a lean, muscular physique without letting the rest of life fall apart.He’s been shredded at 189, bulked up to 227, and now he’s trying to land somewhere in the middle — strong, athletic, and confident… while still keeping up with the demands of parenting, working out, and running a small business.This conversation is about physique goals, time pressure------------Since 2011, we’ve helped 2,000+ busy men get lean, strong, and in control — without supplements, gimmicks, or sacrificing their lives to the gym.👉 Get our Free 15-Day Transformation Kickstart Bundle(Training program, nutrition guide, and 15-step course to help you avoid the most common mistakes.)

Today I’m speaking with Richard Golden — a longtime Ripped Body reader who’s undergone a dramatic transformation over the last decade.Rich grew up with an identical twin brother who was lean, while he struggled with weight gain, body image issues, and cycles of yo-yo dieting. At his heaviest, he weighed over 230 lbs.Now at 44 years old, he’s sitting at a lean and healthy 155 — and more importantly, he feels in control for the first time in his life.We talk about how a painful breakup triggered a turning point, what he learned about sustainability after years of failure, and why he’s now chasing something new: not just maintenance, but mastery.But can he push through the final plateau now that his health is not on the line — or will comfort hold him back?Let’s get to it.------------Since 2011, we’ve helped 2,000+ busy men get lean, strong, and in control — without supplements, gimmicks, or sacrificing their lives to the gym.👉 Get our Free 15-Day Transformation Kickstart Bundle(Training program, nutrition guide, and 15-step course to help you avoid the most common mistakes.)

Today’s guest is Justin Maller — a world-class digital artist and tech founder based in New York. At 41, Justin just completed his first real bulk after years of hovering in maintenance and making no real physique progress.We talk about what finally pushed him to commit, how he gained 30 pounds and made the biggest strength gains of his life, and why cutting back down now feels surprisingly difficult — despite having done it before.This is a conversation about late-stage gains, body image rewiring, and what happens when you finally give yourself permission to grow.Let’s dive in.------------Since 2011, we’ve helped 2,000+ busy men get lean, strong, and in control — without supplements, gimmicks, or sacrificing their lives to the gym.👉 Get our Free 15-Day Transformation Kickstart Bundle(Training program, nutrition guide, and 15-step course to help you avoid the most common mistakes.)

Michael opens up about his lifelong struggle with weight, starting in his early 20s when he hit 200 pounds, without any muscle. After the birth of his first son, he realized he needed to change — not just for himself, but to keep up as a dad. That was his first serious cut, and it sparked a 10+ year journey of self-education, strength training, and cycles of cutting and bulking.He’s now stronger than ever but stuck in a long-standing all-or-nothing mindset, especially with weekend eating. During the week, he’s disciplined and in control. But when Friday hits, family time, baked treats, and decompression turn into overeating — not just for enjoyment, but out of habit.Michael wants to set a better example for his four kids, especially his son, who’s now lifting and developing his own self-control. He’s wrestling with how to stay consistent, how to eat in a way that balances discipline with family joy, and how to shift from "perfect or nothing" to something sustainable.He’s not just chasing fat loss — he’s trying to break a generational pattern before it repeats.------------Since 2011, we’ve helped 2,000+ busy men get lean, strong, and in control — without supplements, gimmicks, or sacrificing their lives to the gym.👉 Get our Free 15-Day Transformation Kickstart Bundle(Training program, nutrition guide, and 15-step course to help you avoid the most common mistakes.)

Alex opens up about his years-long battle with performance obsession, burnout, and a hidden addiction to Adderall. What began as a drive to "get the physique" spiraled into overtraining, under-recovering, and chasing a shredded look at the cost of his mental and physical health. A serious injury and a breaking point in his personal life forced him to confront what he was running from — and how much he’d been avoiding.Alex shares how rebuilding his relationship with food, training, and himself has given him a new mission: to pursue sustainable progress, not perfection. But that doesn’t mean the struggle is over — he's standing at the edge of his next challenge: bulking. And with it comes old fears of bloating, body image, and letting go of his abs.This is an honest conversation about identity, control, and learning to trust the process — even when it’s uncomfortable.------------Since 2011, we’ve helped 2,000+ busy men get lean, strong, and in control — without supplements, gimmicks, or sacrificing their lives to the gym.👉 Get our Free 15-Day Transformation Kickstart Bundle(Training program, nutrition guide, and 15-step course to help you avoid the most common mistakes.)

Ryan is stuck in a battle a lot of men never talk about: the fear that changing his body might change how he’s seen - by the world, by his family, and by himself.He’s no longer chasing a six-pack for vanity. He’s chasing a bigger goal: becoming the kind of role model his daughters deserve.But to do that, he has to wrestle down the old fears - of getting too lean, of looking "too small," of not being "enough."This is a raw, vulnerable conversation about what it really takes to fight for growth when staying the same feels safer.Ryan knows the man he wants to be. The question is: **can he stay in the discomfort long enough to become him?------------Since 2011, we’ve helped 2,000+ busy men get lean, strong, and in control — without supplements, gimmicks, or sacrificing their lives to the gym.👉 Get our Free 15-Day Transformation Kickstart Bundle(Training program, nutrition guide, and 15-step course to help you avoid the most common mistakes.)

It started with a moment of quiet shame: his girlfriend swooning over a Twilight actor’s abs while Sam sat next to her, skinny-fat and stuck. That moment sent him chasing change — first through generic magazine workouts, then into the hands of a “pro” coach who gave him abs, yes, but also exhaustion, rebound weight gain, and a deep sense of failure.Sam rebuilt himself the hard way — through obsession, mentorship, and reps. He became the coach he once needed. But success brought its own trap: business mentors told him to prioritize profit over people. That wasn’t who he wanted to be.In this episode, Sam shares what pulled him back to coaching for the right reasons, the personal loss that changed how he shows up for clients, and why empathy — not macros — is his real coaching superpower.------------Since 2011, we’ve helped 2,000+ busy men get lean, strong, and in control — without supplements, gimmicks, or sacrificing their lives to the gym.👉 Get our Free 15-Day Transformation Kickstart Bundle(Training program, nutrition guide, and 15-step course to help you avoid the most common mistakes.)

Today I’m speaking with Sohee Carpenter.I first met Sohee back in 2012, and at the time, she was a Stanford student studying human biology. Then she completed a master’s in psychology and is now finishing up her Ph.D. in sports science under my co-author, Eric Helms.Sohee’s business is evidence-based training and nutrition coaching delivered with empathy and compassion. She has moved away from the “calories and macros for everyone” approach, and her coaching now focuses on behavior change tactics and habits, which comes from her own personal struggles in the past with disordered eating.At some point, we’re going to come across loved ones who are struggling with disordered eating, and we’ll want to help but not necessarily know how. Sohee specializes in this, which is why I invited her on to chat.In this episode, we discuss:👉🏻 What led Sohee to develop an eating disorder when she was only 14 years old. 👉🏻 Why black or white thinking usually backfires and increases your risk of disordered eating.👉🏻 How to spot red flags that may indicate eating disorders. 👉🏻 The strategies Sohee uses to develop a flexible mindset with her clients. 👉🏻 And more.

This season on the Ripped Body podcast, I’ve been speaking with readers who find themselves stuck, helping troubleshoot their progress and break through plateaus. For the next part of season 4, I’ll be sitting down with some of my fitness industry friends to discuss their backstories, mistakes they’ve made, and the lessons they’ve learned along the way.To kick things off, I’m speaking with Steve Hall. I mentored Steve when he first got into coaching online, and it’s a pleasure to see his growth and how much of an impact his business, Revive Stronger, is now having.Steve became hooked on fitness in his university days. But was nearly killed when he was hit by a van when running.He has since gone on to compete in natural bodybuilding while building a successful coaching and bodybuilding education business.Here are some of the main points we discuss-Judge a fitness expert by the content they share, not how they look.-Muscle growth is exceptionally slow.-Don’t rush recovery after injury. And more. I hope you enjoy this new series.

Today, I’m speaking with Hemang, who is a 50-year-old father of two who works in finance, and has a work-from-home arrangement. He does the carpool drop-off most days, is co-president of his son’s school PTA, and is a Scout volunteer.Hemang has been around the same weight for most of his life. He’s not what anyone would call fat, but not lean either. However, he managed to drop around 20 lbs of fat and gain 10 lbs of muscle, and hit nearly 900 lbs for his squat, bench, and deadlift total in the last couple of years, which is an incredible achievement.But now he’s stuck.He’s not getting any leaner, not getting any stronger, and his joints are starting to ache.That 1000 lb total is tantalizingly close. He knows he needs to lose 4 inches off of his waist, but family commitments keep getting in the way, and he’s not sure what he can do to get the gains train moving again.I’m sure many of you can relate to this.

Today, I’m speaking with Gary, a 59-year-old consultant living in Scotland.Gary has been self-described skinny-fat all of his life. He lived in the United States for 15 years, where he gained a little too much weight. In the 10 years since his return to the UK, he’s managed to lose 50 lbs of fat and gain 10-15 lbs of muscle.He doesn’t feel as self-conscious as he once did. But he’s not done yet. The problem is that despite a heavy focus on numbers and data, he hasn’t made any real progress in the last year. This has taken its toll on his motivation. He’s wondering what he needs to do, that can also work with his family life.Let’s see if we can help.ABOUT THIS POD 🎙At RippedBody.com, we are known for our no-nonsense nutrition and training guides.
