The Jordan Syatt Mini-podcast

In this episode I speak with Gary Vaynerchuk about my 3-year tenure as his personal trainer, coaching him 7-days/week for 3-years straight. Some of the questions I asked him were: - What was your very first impression of me? Both during the interview as well as once we began coaching. - What’s the workout which you cussed me out the most? - If you could only teach your children 3 things (fitness/health related), what would they be? - If you lost everything and could no longer afford a full-time personal trainer/nutrition coach , would you still stick with your fitness?   - If there’s one thing you wish I learned from my time with you, what would you want it to be? - What is your favorite and least favorite exercise? - How do you think AI will impact the fitness industry? - And much more...

In this episode of The Jordan Syatt Mini-Podcast, I have an in-depth conversation with my podcast producer, Tony, all about training as you age. I talk about how aging affects everything from fat loss, to strength, to muscle growth... but the core principles of training stay the same throughout your entire life. I go over why younger folks have an advantage at building strength and muscle, how women tend to approach training with more enthusiasm later in life, and how TRT is the same thing as steroids (sorry, not sorry) regardless of what people claim.  I also talk about why aesthetics for trained individuals are greatly affected by genetics, how steroids are linked to high blood pressure and other severe health risks, how protein pulsing may have some benefits for training as you age, and how it's never too late to start taking your health and fitness seriously and make huge improvements.

In this episode of The Jordan Syatt Mini-Podcast, I have an in-depth conversation with my trusty podcast producer, Tony, all about strength standards for men, women, and advanced athletes. While creating my own set of strength standards for advanced athletes, I also talk about relative vs absolute strength, why I don't use olympic lifts as a general standard, which lifts I do set standards for, and why I think strength standards need to be different for men and women. I also talk about why I don't think reaching these advanced strength standards actually matters in real life, the time I met Dan John, and why it's hard to keep making "Real Life" episodes for YouTube.
