Stop Fearing The Scale
Are you someone who dreads stepping on the scale?
Do you find yourself feeling anxious or stressed about what the numbers might say?
Don’t worry. You're not alone.
In this repeat episode, I talk about the fear and anxiety that often comes with weighing ourselves. I share my top tips for shaking your negative relationship with the scale and how you can use it as a tool to effectively measure your progress.
The scale impacts people negatively at times. However, keep in mind that it is not something that should make or break how you feel.
No magic number increases your confidence and self-esteem.
In fact, over time you may find that the scale goes up but you have a better body composition (leaner, more muscle).
Tune in to learn how to make peace with the scale and focus on your over all health and well-being.

Stop Comparing Your Calories
Are you constantly comparing your dieting calories to those of others, wondering why they seem to be able to eat more and still lose weight?
This topic keeps on popping up in my DMs and most people get stressed over it. I get a lot of questions and messages about comparing their dieting calories to other people's.
In this I episode I address why you shouldn't compare your calories and macros to a fitness influencer or an advanced person on the internet and discuss:
- Examples of my clients and how their responses to dieting have varied greatly

- Why you shouldn't compare your calories to other people's
- The role of metabolic adaptation and different metabolic types
- Approaches to aggressive deficits for those who need them
Remember, just because someone has different calories and macros from you doesn't mean you're doing something wrong. Everyone is different. You just have to do what works for you!

Getting Out of Your Comfort Zone

Calling Out Misinformation
Have you heard about the EMS (Electrical Muscle Stimulation) Machine?
Apparently, according to some influencers, this machine is the "quickest way to burn glutes and back fat" and this could replace a 90-minute workout with just 20 minutes of EMS training.
In today's episode, I share my concerns about social media influencers promoting methods with misleading claims. I explain the difference between calling out misinformation and personally attacking someone.
Remember everyone! My intent is to address false information and not to label individuals as "bad". Noting inaccuracies online and expressing disagreement isn't bullying! It is important that we clarify misinformation.

What is your kryptonite? - Fast Fat Loss Strategies Series Part 1
In the first episode of the series, I discuss strategy #1 which is all about attacking your weak area (your “kryptonite”).
The majority of us have 1-2 things holding us back in fat loss which leads us to failure over and over.
I talk about finding that 1 thing that keeps holding you back and why you should be addressing that first.
Once you eliminate the main reason you’re not making progress, then fast fat loss can occur as you stop going backwards.
Let’s face it, fat loss is simple, but also really hard! This short series on fat loss will help you to find strategies that allow you to optimise your fat loss goals.
Fast fat loss more so means efficient fat loss. Doing things well to not lead you to feel like you are always taking 1 step forward and 2 steps back.
Learn how to lose fat efficiently and effectively.

7 Things I Wish I Knew When I Started Lifting - #3: Training Only 'Mirror Muscles'
In today's episode of 7 Things I Wish I Knew When I Started Lifting I talk about wishing I had focused more on training 'non-mirror' muscles - such as back, glutes, hamstrings, and also direct core work.
It's important not to neglect training the muscles you can't see - you want to be strong all over to avoid injury and imbalances!
I also address the question of "do you need to do direct core work if you squat and deadlift?"
I explain why base core strength development is important no matter what your goals are.
If you haven't listened to the previous two episodes in the series on Do You Have to Barbell Squat & Deadlift? and Machines vs Free Weights, I encourage you to do so now.

Is Calorie Tracking B.S.?
In this episode I address a statement that I heard recently, saying that calorie counting is stupid. I discuss why this is false and go over the following key points:
- What's involved with calorie counting and why it's important
- Why knowing how much you're eating can help you get results
- How tracking can help you reach your dieting or muscle building goals
- Why simply 'eating clean' isn't sufficient for fat loss
- How long term dieting can affect your hunger signals
You don't have to track calories and macros to lose weight, but it can be a powerful tool to help you change your body composition.

Stop Comparing Your Calories
There's a topic I keep seeing in my DMs lately stressing people out. Comparing your dieting calories or build calories to other people's. I get a lot of questions like "Why can this person lose weight on more calories than me, it's not fair?"
In this I episode I address why you shouldn't compare your calories and macros to a fitness influencer or an advanced person on the internet and discuss:
- Examples of my clients and how their responses to dieting have varied greatly
- How some people can easily stay lean year round while others struggle
- Why you shouldn't compare your calories to other people's
- The role of metabolic adaptation and different metabolic types
- Approaches to aggressive deficits for those who need them
Remember, just because someone has different calories and macros to you doesn't mean you're doing something wrong. Everyone is different. You just have to do what works for you!

Stop Fearing The Scale
The scale impacts people negatively at times and is sometimes used to over validate our results I have found.
It’s not something that should make or break how you feel.
There’s no magic number that increases your confidence and self esteem.
In fact, over time you may find that the scale goes up but you have a better body composition (leaner, more muscle).
In this episode, I share my top tips for shaking your negative relationship with the scale. I also explain how to use the scale as a tool to effectively measure your progress.

How many sets do you need to build muscle?
Are you confused on how many working sets you need to perform to build muscle?
Right now, there is a lot of talk about this topic…
Some coaches are on the side of higher volume/sets being the key to hypertrophy.
Other coaches are saying much lower working sets than once thought are appropriate to building muscle.
Lots of smart minds, with differing opinions.
So which is correct?
How much do we really know right now about muscle building?
Mark tries to break things down in a simple and easily understandable manner so we can try and bring a bit of clarity to the debate for all of you.
How many sets do we need to build muscle?

Training around the Menstrual Cycle with Sheridan Skye
This episode focuses on women and training around the menstrual cycle. I’m joined by Sheridan Skye, registered nurse, nutrition specialist, coach, and partner with my Pre & Postnatal Series.
Sheridan and I discuss the current research and share our opinions working with a wide range of female clients.
If you’re a woman, or coach women, this episode will help you gain more clarity around a topic we've been getting a lot of questions on recently.
We’ve found that every woman is different and experiences different performance and strength changes during their period and throughout the month. We share our suggestions for taking an individual approach and not changing training simply based on specific phases of the cycle.
Correction: @sheridanskyefit wanted me to address an error made at the 7:15 second mark. She inadvertently used the term “luteal” instead of “follicular” phase when discussing the theory behind changing training intensity during specific points in the menstrual cycle. 🙊 💡 To set the record straight, the theory suggests that performance is generally better and can be pushed during the late follicular phase leading up to ovulation. On the other hand, it is believed that decreasing training intensity in the later luteal phase may be beneficial.

How To Win The Mental Battle of the Scale
Something we’ve all experienced…when you weigh yourself and don’t see the result you want. You’ve been dieting and you’re excited to see the scale validate your hard work. But then you jump on the scale and you see no change in your weight. You probably feel like just giving up, but don't! Mark talks about how to deal with this common but frustrating situation from a mental standpoint.

What is your kryptonite? - Fast Fat Loss Strategies Series Part 1
In the first episode of the series, Mark discusses strategy #1 which is all about attacking your weak area (your “kryptonite”).
