In this episode, we dive deep into a topic that every trainer and fitness enthusiast needs to understand: the difference between techniques and principles in training. Techniques are often thrown around in the gym, but without understanding the underlying principles, results can be inconsistent and frustrating.
Join me as we explore key training principles like intensity, load, tension, and stability. Learn why focusing on principles, rather than just bouncing from program to program, will help you master your workouts and get the results you've been striving for. 💪
Key Highlights:
What is a training principle, and why is it crucial for success?
How intensity is defined differently in bodybuilding vs. strength training.
The importance of understanding the relationship between load, tension, and failure.
Real-world examples from top bodybuilders and how they apply these principles to their training.
Tune in to transform the way you think about your workouts and take your training to the next level!

Navigating the maze of supplements can feel like decoding an ancient script. From the allure of fat-loss pills to the promise of protein shakes and the intrigue of bio-hacking, it's a world filled with potential pitfalls.
 
But here's the thing – supplements aren't just for the gym-obsessed or those who live in their yoga pants. They're for anyone looking to bridge nutritional gaps, enhance recovery, or boost performance in a world that doesn't slow down.
 
Think of it this way: you don't necessarily need supplements, much like you don't need the latest iPhone. But, just as a smartphone can streamline your day, supplements can fast-track your health and fitness goals, making the journey a tad easier.
 
That's why, in this week's episode of The Enterprise Fitness Podcast, we're diving deep into the world of supplements. It's time to get the lowdown on what works, what doesn't, and how to make informed choices that align with your health objectives.
 
In this episode, here’s what you'll discover:
 
The Real Deal on Supplements: Why consider them in the first place?
Lab Work and Supplements: How testing can guide your choices.
Choosing Your Arsenal: Navigating the vast array of products.
Overcoming Obstacles: What might be holding you back?
The Turbo-Charge Effect: How supplements can accelerate your results.
Lifestyle Considerations: From cooking with the right pan to sleep patterns.
Minimising Toxins: Strategies for a cleaner, healthier body.
Recovery Tools: Tech and tips for optimal rejuvenation.
 
And that's just the tip of the iceberg. We're covering all this and more, so tune in to arm yourself with knowledge and take control of your supplement strategy.

How to Move Beyond Fat Loss - Create Lasting Change to Perform
 
I've been in the fat loss and muscle business for twenty years.
 
Over those twenty years, not much has changed. The average person still thinks fat loss training is walking on a treadmill.
 
And the average trainer still thinks it involves pushing a prowler and using battle ropes.
 
Both approaches leave people frustrated, wondering why they are hungrier than ever.
 
But it's no wonder.
 
A drastic increase in energy output triggers an increase in hunger. That's why we set nutrition for success in our first session at Enterprise Fitness.
 
So, how do you "train" for fat loss?
 
Well, first, it's important to understand that fat loss "training" is not an adaptation.
 
It's a byproduct.
 
There are only three things you can train for in the gym: muscle, strength, or endurance.
 
And in this week's episode of The Enterprise Fitness Podcast, I'm breaking down the real deal on training for fat loss, transformations, and conditioning.
 
This week, we separate fact from fiction.

In this week's episode of the Enterprise Fitness Podcast, Master Coach Tyrone takes centre stage to reveal how you can transform your physique within a guaranteed timeline.
Recorded from our Elite Results Bootcamp, Tyrone dives deep into the critical details that our coaches at Enterprise use to craft jaw-dropping transformations within set timelines.
He outlines the essential steps for mapping out your transformation journey:
1. Define your goal.
2. Assess your starting point.
3. Reverse engineer your transformation timeline.
Whether your aim is fat loss, weight loss, muscle gain, or competition prep, establishing a realistic timeline can significantly simplify your journey. It helps minimise, or sometimes even eliminate, the doubts about what should be happening next.
Tyrone delves into tailored strategies, comparing the approach for someone starting at 70kg with a goal to lose 10kg versus another at 120kg aiming to shed 40kg.
He highlights three critical phases in a transformation journey:
- Fat Loss
- Improvement
- Maintenance
Achieving long-term success involves mastering the ability to transition between these phases.
By understanding your current position and desired outcome, we can reverse engineer the process. This approach is crucial for setting realistic timeframes and identifying potential challenges.
From a scientific standpoint, burning 1 kilo of fat equates to approximately 7,700 calories. Tyrone breaks down these figures to show how diet and exercise play into your transformation goals.
Dive deeper into these insights on this week's episode of the Enterprise Fitness Podcast.

What do you think of when you hear the word ‘bulk’?
 
For most, ‘bulk’ or ‘bulking’ means eating all the calories (doughnuts included) and ‘bulking up’ means losing any visible waistline you once had.
 
So, in today’s podcast, we turn it over to Enterprise Master Trainer Jaka, who presents:
 
How to Navigate a Bulk Without Getting Fat:
How we take our clients through a calorie surplus phase.
 
You might be reading this thinking, “I don’t want to ‘bulk’; that’s for meatheads.”
 
As Jaka puts it, muscle mass and strength can happen at maintenance calories and even a slight calorie deficit.
 
However, it happens faster in a surplus!
 
Most just navigate a surplus poorly, hence missing out on the ability to turbocharge muscle and strength.
 
Jaka pulls from real client examples of how he used a surplus to increase Enterprise clients’ calories, improve body composition, and set them up for an elite dieting phase.
 
So, if you want to trim the fat and get all the benefits of being in a calorie surplus, listen to this week's episode.

The Internet is filled with pseudo-experts.They mask their shortcomings as coaches with Instagram filters, steroids, and thirst traps, all the while pretending to be experts. But who have they really trained?What have they really done? As it's hard enough for me to find and hire good personal trainers to join my team, it’s even more challenging for the general gym-goer, who lacks my 20 years of experience in distinguishing the ‘good’ from the ‘bad’.That’s why this year at Enterprise, we are doubling down on providing accessible high-level training and nutrition information to all. You see, over my twenty years (and counting) PT career, and having Enterprise Fitness operating for 11 of those years, we’ve trained thousands of people to head-turning transformations, drug-free. We’ve also coached hundreds of winners in bodybuilding, bikini and fitness comps. So, what I am about to share isn’t based on what some random influencer on the Internet said or what I think the textbook said. It’s from actual experience. Taken from my Elite Results Bootcamp, which had trainers and clients alike from across the globe,  I give you today's Podcast episode: EVERYTHING You Want to Know About How to Build MuscleIn my no-nonsense style, I cover:

Stability, load, volume, tension, intensity

To kick off the year right, in the coming weeks, we are releasing an in-depth podcast series on what it takes to achieve elite results in the gym to help you with your 2024 goals.
We kick it off with Training for Super Strength, what you must know to stay injury-free, bust out of plateaus and lift like a superhero.
Strength is one of the top biomarkers of longevity. Equally, a stronger athlete is always a better, less injured athlete.
Strength makes anything easier.
You might be confused about what exercises to choose and how many sets, reps, and loads to use.
I've got you covered.
I recently presented Training for Super Strength to a jam-packed room of trainers from all over the world.
It was so good I wanted to do an encore (of sorts).
I just uploaded the whole presentation to our podcast and my YouTube.
In my no-frills, no-BS style, I cover:
How to increase your lifting capacity almost immediately by increasing stability (and the three hubs to focus on)
How to acquire the skill of strength and the big mistake most people make.
Why joint health is almost the be and end all to staying injury-free and getting strong (joints move muscles, muscles move weights)
The difference between optimal lifting mechanics and personal preferences and how to navigate them.
You can get strong without getting big. Here, I explain why your central nervous system and neural output MUST be factored into a strength plan, how to train it, and cues to assess recovery. 
Demystifying loading parameters, percentages and concepts to use to help you add load to the bar.
How many sets should you really?
And so much more.
If you are going to listen to one podcast on getting strong this year, make sure it’s this one!
Available everywhere you listen to podcasts and YouTube.
Train hard!
