pascal!!

great chat I really admire Pascal and Steve, they have great sense and really good voices for podcasting

Did you see my comment from last week? I have read that long covid (PASC) can have digestive symptoms and fatigue. Might be worth a look into. Having mental fatigue/brain fog or is it more physical?

Fast for a couple of days. You'll lose an lb or two, and the bad bacteria causing gut problems will die off.

Shaving your balls is much better than trimming. A trimmer just cuts into the saggy skin. Never had problems with a razer

5lbs of muscle. Ok. :)

Enjoy some Kimchee and Natto. 🏋‍♂️🏊🏻🧨🦊

Appendix!!

Good list. Diet food tier list will look different for everyone depending on their macros, meal frequency, and calorie budget. My maintenance and bulking diet will look like someone else's cutting diet. Anyway, S Tier cutting foods for me (~1500 cal cuts): Blackberries, sugar-free Jello, low-calorie ice cream, 90% lean ground beef, bison steaks, low-calorie bread products, low/no fat cheese, low-fat french fries, Fairlife milk, tomatoes, salad greens, low calorie salad dressings, hot sauces and spices, cooking oil spray.

Joe is one of the good ones

I always wonder about these guys who are injured frequently and feel injuries are normal. I suppose if you are sacrificing yourself for a sport that just may be a price you have to pay, but if you train for health and fitness what is the point? I expect you suffer for this when you get older too. I learn from the insights, but personally i prefer more of a physical culture mindset. To each his own.

How much protein are you eating on high carb low fat

Enjoyed this. As a someone who still had some in-person clients at the gym I found this valuable.

Fakest of the fake natties

Take a shot everytime the word “kids” is said…

alex how come you said before that you should cap ur body fat to 20% percent and now ur saying 25% is the max?

Bs

Yep. This is fantastic. Humility exemplified... thanks for having Joe on the show. Cheers from Boston Massachusetts 🤙

This.Bulking as post Anorexic kid is crazy

How about size of the person?their bone length ?

He’s spot on at 1:00:00. I’m so zen now in the gym. I feel like a muscle accountant at the gym now. Lol.

Love it. Joe is one of the guys that says, “well, I don’t wanna go on for half an hour…” and I think PROCEED SIR! I have the time :)

agenda 2030, better be careful of the great reset

New Alex bear mode content YES

Basically he was natty for 7 years, than jumped on gear, did two bulks and a minicut and now he looks like this. And it's not because of drugs its because he added arm day.

Great episode Steve, pretty surreal that Matt was your inspiration for getting into Natural bodybuilding and he mentions you are his “favourite bodybuilder educator” you deserve all the praise with the hard work you have put in. Best podcast there is.

When Mike spurts it gives me growth I think that's what I just heard

I think this is my favorite podcast episode, ever! Matt's energy and overall vibe was simply out of this world, specially considering he is in prep. Also, never resonated so much with anyone, from the training aspect, to the business side, everything. I'm so glad you pulled this trigger, Matt! And a big thanks to Steve, for continuing this amazing podcast!

All I've gathered from this podcast is that I must eat kiwis for the rest of my life. Guess I gotta move to New Zealand

Huge kudos to you Steve for getting Matt on your podcast. He couldn’t have chosen a better podcast or host.

I used to go to a Chinese restaurant after church sometimes. There was a guy there with a tracheostomy tube (breathing tube in their neck) and he would breathe all over the food at the buffet. You could frequently hear the mucus gurgling around in the tube.

I felt so much rage when my beloved rice went into D tier! I can't even survive a diet without white rice!😢

Hi! I’ve been maintaining in the gym for about 8 months now and was planning on lean bulking next month, however I’d imagine I’m around 25% body fat or so… I was wondering if it would be a good idea for me to do an aggressive cut for 4 weeks and then start my lean bulk. Could I please get your opinion on if this would be a good idea or not?

30:39 literally googled “protein shake before workout vs after dr Mike” to find this video. Do with that what ya will lmao

Never turned off one of your podcasts until now 😢 your guest started contridicting himself and obviously thinks he has all the answers. Have some modesty and integrity.

I love this guy!

I don’t agree with this at all. It makes no sense. If you start at 200lbs and curling 100lbs, if you diet down to 160lbs and you still curl 100lbs how did you lose muscle? Are you saying that in that 4-6 month time span you kept growing neurological strength despite a massive amount of tissue loss? If that were actually true, then you’d be able to diet in a way that would make you the world’s strongest 130lbs person. It does not make sense. Also, you don't add weight to a lift every session but it still promotes growth. You can retake a weight at least 3 times at the same reps before it stops giving you any growth. Even if you're bulking. So using your logic, if you stay curling 100lbs, you could theoretically go back and forth between losing muscle mass and gaining it just by curling the same weight for the same reps. Again, it just does not make sense.

The homeless comment hit home for me--I used to run every single day up and down mainstreet downtown Memphis...I'd see the same homeless dudes for over a year eating out of trash bins and absolutely ripped. Not just crackhead lean...I mean full, rounded deltoids...massive blocks for abs...perfectly attached biceps with huge veins. One time, I legitimately stopped running just to ask this dude eating trash if he works out and he legit just started speaking gibberish to me and dancing in a circle, totally out of his mind. Don't underestimate genetic variability. People regularly discount outliers as if everyone they meet is supposed to reside right on the mean...it doesn't work that way. The natty or not stuff is a prime example of this. Some people are lying and they are on stuff--a significant portion are, in fact. But, don't confuse uncommon with impossible. The populus is a huge number...you have to keep in mind that you come in contact with a huge number of diverse people every single day from all areas of the world (particularly, living in a major city in the US), thus you'll likely encounter more than a few outliers in all different aspects throughout your day to day life. It's erroneous to discount every major standout as a liar.

Steve which exactly pokemon game you play? Do you play or have you played pokemon go?

If you are lying to your friend about taking roids, which everybody knows you do/did, then I cant blame your friend that he didnt want to talk to you. I wouldnt want to hangout with a dude that is lying to me.

I feel you...just got my wisdom teeth pulled out, not eating for 4 days or so and was like damn, thats like 14000 cals deficit...rolled with it and ended up with 3 weeks cut and like 5kg down haha

DROP THEM LOA STRINGERS

he is no natty though 😄

Quark&Potatoes let’s goo boiss 🤌

I have read that long covid (PASC) can have digestive symptoms and fatigue. Might be worth a look into. Having mental fatigue/brain fog as well?

Yep. Pascal is right. It really depends on what part of the United States you are from. East Coast New Yorkers are very direct. Southerners, especially Texans, can be direct. West Coast or Midwest are generally more polite or friendly and thus more likely to blow smoke as we call it to be nice. That being said the Revive Stronger channel is one of the best bodybuilding channels on CZcams. When I cut back my fitness channels to focus more on finance, I kept Revive Stronger because of the quality of the content and the no BS approach to interviews and lifting information. I truly do consider Revive Stronger one of the best lifting/bodybuilding information channels on CZcams.

That dunning Kruger is rampant in the industry🤮 👹👹👹

I did a 500k step challenge for August. I had to average 17 to 18k a day. I don’t think I’d do it again.

Savory oats are actually great, just call it porridge😂
