Making sets & reps

@jblackburn54 asked: Explain making sets. How many sets and reps should I be doing?

This is an awesome question that I’m sure many people have when developing their exercise regimen.

First, take into consideration that different muscle groups require challenging sets in order to build new muscle.

For beginners, I would recommend 10 sets per muscle group, which can be broken up in different sessions per week. The number of reps can be anywhere from 5 to 30 but I wouldn’t recommend going that high in reps due to cardio becoming a factor and psychological fatigue. It requires a lot of discipline to take 30 reps to failure.

I would recommend starting with an 8 to 15 rep range and, week-over-week, either add another rep or add weight so that you stay in your appropriate rep range.

Burgers for the summer

I’m gonna give you 4 burger options that are available at @Wegmans right now that will help you stick to your diet as you enjoy your summer grilling:

1️⃣ Buffalo-style chicken patties – 250 calories, 25g protein
2️⃣ Greek-style turkey patties – 220 calories, 29g protein
3️⃣ Bison patties – 190 calories, 23g protein
4️⃣ 90/10 ground beef – 260 calories, 30g protein

JZ Tips: if you want to add some flavor and bulk to your burgers, my favorite hack is to add mushrooms and onions to your patties. I also love putting some @ghughessugarfree BBQ sauce in the middle of the raw patty before cooking… makes it super delicious. My favorite way to enjoy these burgers is on a high-fiber bun or in a @MissionsFoodsUS Carb Balance wrap.

Sauna best practices

Everyone knows that saunas are incredible for your health.

How do I apply that research to our @SISU_sauna?

1️⃣ Temperature – we want a temperature of at least 180* Fahrenheit. But remember: heat escapes when we open and close the sauna door. Because of this, I always set my temperature to 200* to ensure I’m at the appropriate temperature the entire time.

2️⃣ Duration – I sauna for at least 20 minutes. This is due to the fact that sauna bathing mimics moderate-intensity workouts.

3️⃣ Frequency – I would recommend using your sauna 3 times a week, each at a duration of 20 minutes. This will give you a minimum time of 60 minutes in your sauna per week.

Remember: because the sauna mimics moderate-intensity exercise, more may be better. There may be benefit to using the sauna up to 7 days a week.

Fats 101

Everything you need to know about FAT🥑

This is my third installment in my Youtube series about macronutrients.

Growing up, fat was the most villainized macronutrient – everything was either non-fat or zero fat. But today, it might be the most over-glorified macronutrient.

To put this into perspective, I like to remind everyone that nature favors mediocrity. Think about a pack of gazelles, stay with me… the overzealous leaders in the front get the river first where the crocodiles are waiting. The last ones in the pack get picked off by the lions and hyenas.

The same is true for saturated fat.

You want to have enough saturated fat in your diet for your hormones but, at the same time, too much of it can increase your cholesterol.

The reality is: EVERYTHING in moderation.

📌 Topics Covered:
00:00 | Introduction
1:20 | Polyunsaturated fats
1:44 | Monounsaturated fats
3:43 | Saturated fats
4:34 | Everything in moderation

Isopure protein drinks

If you’re like me, drinking a heavy chocolate-flavored protein shake in the summer doesn’t sound very appetizing.

I’ve always found @isopurecompany’s pre-made shakes crucial when the temperature starts to rise. When it’s hot, I want a light and refreshing flavor like fruit punch, grape, lemonade, and iced tea.

The macros on these Isopure drinks are also bonkers. 160 calories and 40g of protein. So not only is the taste amazing and refreshing during the heat, the macros also over-deliver.

What is RIR?

💪🏻 What is RIR? Why is it important? What does it look like?

RIR, or Reps in Reserve, is a measure used to indicate the intensity of your training. A lower RIR means a higher intensity level.

In simple terms, if your RIR is 1, you have only one more rep you could perform before reaching technical failure.

💪🏻 So, why is RIR important?

For effective training and to stimulate muscle adaptation, your sets need to be challenging. Tools like RIR and RPE (Rate of Perceived Exertion) help you gauge and ensure your workout intensity is at an optimal level.

💪🏻 What does RIR look like?

RIR of 3 or less: Your sets will appear challenging and feel fatiguing. The speed of your repetitions will noticeably slow down. It’s recommended to aim for an RIR of 3 at a minimum to ensure your training is sufficiently intense.

Top tier protein bars

I’m gonna share 4 protein bars that you can commonly find at the grocery store that I consider top tier:

1️⃣ @questnutrition – the OG protein bar. This has a more firm texture that some people don’t enjoy – but if you can get past this, the macros are stellar and there are a ton of flavors.

2️⃣ @builtbar – make sure to get the bars, not the Puffs. The texture of this is more like a Milky Way so it’s a little chewier.

3️⃣ @one1brands – tons of unique flavors and a happy-medium texture for those who don’t love the overly firm or overly chewy options.

4️⃣ @barebells.usa – this is the people’s’ champion. All of my clients love this bar and they are universally beloved.

All of these protein bars pass The Test, contain fiber, and taste phenomenal which is why I’m ranking these top tier.
