Kevin Tejada: Hey ladies you want to get your booty blasted god that sounds so dumb but that's (00:28):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: what these workouts are called booty. (00:34):
undefined

Speaker1: Blast glute gains (00:37):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: Whatever you want to call it this ass centric workout culture that a lot of (00:39):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: women have or rather a lot of women you know fall prey to, (00:46):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: if you don't know these booty blast workouts are basically the majority of the (00:51):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: exercise you see a lot of fit women pedaling online taking advantage of other (00:57):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: women of course because you know that's not how you get thicker glutes necessarily (01:01):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: by doing some stupid shit with a band 400 times, (01:05):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: now that can help you from like zero but to get the gains you need weight for (01:09):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: that even if it's your own but point is this is what you see on social media (01:15):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: see some woman who's fit probably from squats just showing their ass and the (01:20):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: tightest thing possible and they're saying oh do Do this booty workout. (01:24):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: So insecure women can then flock to their page. Give them likes, money, whatever. (01:28):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: Because saying, hey ladies, if you want a fat ass, you must squat. (01:35):
undefined

Speaker1: And you must squat heavy. (01:40):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: For six to eight reps. (01:42):
undefined

Speaker1: Three to four sets. You got to do this like two, three times a week. Heavy ass weight. (01:44):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: Or, you know, you can accomplish some of that with calisthenics. (01:51):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: But anyway, that's not that's not what they're going to be telling these people, (01:53):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: because that's too hard. (01:57):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: People are going to do that. But if you say, hey, I got a fat ass. (01:58):
undefined

Speaker1: If you do this, this fucking band thing (02:01):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: For 15 minutes at home, then, oh, my God, you're going to be just like me. That's what sells. (02:03):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: And it sucks. It's like every month, every week, every whatever it is like there's (02:09):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: a new secret to getting a thick butt. (02:14):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: Do this. The secret to getting a fat ass. (02:17):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: Which by the way Men if you're listening Women like that too The way to do that (02:22):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: Has been the same for Millennia, (02:28):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: Fucking squat and or deadlift Do the knee dominant exercises And hip hinge stuff And, (02:32):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: in (02:38):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: of any other dumb one cheek chubbifier ass enhance and ha, (02:47):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: enhance i sound like an idiot saying i'm trying to combine enhanced with ass (02:54):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: but it's not working anyway these workouts are focused on high rep low resistance, (02:58):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: exercises which don't really help (03:04):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: with muscle growth it's great for stamina for sure but how do you think you (03:08):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: get a fat butt big butt you need that that's muscle i mean of course there's (03:13):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: fat there as well but it's muscles how you build that in a way that you want (03:18):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: anyway but you can't do that if you're doing. (03:22):
undefined

Speaker1: You know 400 (03:25):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: Repetitions of some very easy band workout or whatever it is. (03:26):
undefined

Speaker1: Another issue with this is that it's focusing (03:31):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: On one specific body part which is fucking crazy that's bodybuilder level stuff (03:33):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: and even then bodybuilders they focus on one part of their body but then they (03:40):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: focus on the other ones eventually, (03:44):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: attractive my butt will be nice, (03:57):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: it's not how it works you need to be full you need to be full-minded think in (04:01):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: a holistic way when you're talking about your body because you use your whole (04:09):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: body every day if for some reason the rest of your body was going to be amputated (04:11):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: and you were left with just your butt cheeks for some reason then yeah focus on that, (04:16):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: That'll be in your best interest. But this weird focus is, it's fucked. (04:20):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: It's not good for women, not good for men, the ones who just do curls all the (04:25):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: time. Yeah, man, I just want to focus on my biceps. Are you stupid? (04:29):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: Or their chest, more likely. (04:33):
undefined

Speaker1: Hey guys, are you going to (04:36):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: Do any pull? Can you do pull-ups at all? No? Okay, cool. (04:37):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: And a lot of times it's just, so the main way that you get a big butt is, like I said, (04:41):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: make it hard, do the basics, to squat but a lot of times these like weird things (04:46):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: that involve your legs or your some woman's ass in the camera they're packaged (04:54):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: in a way that makes it seem new and it might be new but, (04:58):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: i mean yeah that's legit but if they're if they're not He's my booty workout (05:10):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: And they do some fucking weird leg movement That's super easy 40 times And they're bullshitting. (05:15):
undefined

Speaker1: They didn't get their body that (05:23):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: Way They're just taking a quote unquote new approach So they can get your attention, (05:24):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: And honestly most of these people I'll say women because they're the ones who (05:30):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: Kind of peddle this shit the most Men kind of do In a much smaller capacity But women for sure, (05:34):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: Man no one hates women More than other women, (05:43):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: They don't If they're peddling this shit to you They don't follow this program (05:48):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: themselves Maybe they do it as a supplementary thing For endurance or something, (05:51):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: You don't build butt cheeks like that By using just a band You know. (05:56):
undefined

Speaker1: Unless it's like (06:02):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: Fucking car tired size band or something. You know, like insane resistance. (06:03):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: Now, who falls prey to this booty blast shit? Women, as per usual. (06:09):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: Now, that really annoys me because while I'm not a woman myself, (06:15):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: I really hate that women are targeted so much. (06:18):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: They already have to deal with being the overall weaker sex. (06:20):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: Like literally any average guy could just kill most women within like 20 seconds (06:25):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: if they wanted to the the the strength difference is fucking insane and completely (06:32):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: unfair like imagine being a woman you're just walking outside and, (06:37):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: three times weaker than half of the planet (06:42):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: at least it's like that that's fucking scary so (06:45):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: there's already a case of them being vulnerable and insecure (06:49):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: so then for them to be you know targeted for this (06:53):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: kind of dumb shit just for aesthetics is this shit even useful because you're (06:55):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: not using movement patterns just focusing on isolation exercises for one part (06:59):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: of you it's fucked up in my opinion i don't like that shit and like i mentioned (07:04):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: before it also creates an imbalance with this focus on one thing, (07:09):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: who else falls prey to this besides women i don't know probably gay gay guys or something. (07:14):
undefined

Speaker1: I'm assuming some of them (07:21):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: Want fatter asses So they can be a power bottom I don't know, (07:23):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: I can't imagine a lot of men Fall prey to this kind of booty blast stuff I know (07:27):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: like I said Men if you work out And you have a nice butt Women appreciate that (07:32):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: too But I'm pretty sure most men When they go towards that goal Of a better butt, (07:36):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: They are squatting Or doing lunging or something They're. (07:42):
undefined

Speaker1: Not doing this (07:47):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: Weird band shit I've never in my life I've seen a guy at the gym in the cable (07:47):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: machine putting anything around his ankles and, you know, doing a lateral abduction. (07:52):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: I've never seen that shit. (07:58):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: And I've been to the gym a lot. (08:01):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: And another person, another type of person who will fall prey to this booty (08:04):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: blast shit is someone who is trying to spot reduce, which was a previous episode, (08:07):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: which means trying to lose weight in one, well, mostly lose fat, (08:12):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: I guess, in one specific part of your body. (08:16):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: Not realizing that your whole body loses weight everywhere at the same time, (08:19):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: unless you do liposuction. (08:23):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: Now, I can't think of a situation where a woman is like, I just want my butt to be smaller. (08:25):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: Maybe in the 90s or something, they would say shit like that. (08:30):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: Is my butt too big? Nowadays, I need a fatter ass is how it is. (08:33):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: So not so much now, but it was the case where women are like, (08:39):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: oh, I work out my butt to make it smaller or whatever. How are the fuck that's (08:42):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: supposed to work in their mind? (08:45):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: Speaking of the mind, this stuff really warps people's women's minds. (08:47):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: I remember when I used to work at Blink Fitness in 2017. 17, (08:53):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: there would be this woman and I worked in the Bronx, New York, which has a. (09:01):
undefined

Speaker1: Super high Dominican population. (09:05):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: And my family's from the Dominican Republic too. So get fucked. (09:08):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: And a lot of them were, well, really insistent on getting butt implants. (09:12):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: And I know this because sometimes they would leave the ads in the gym, (09:20):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: you know, like, oh, go to fly to the DR and get a butt implant (09:23):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: and come back and super cheap and you know what i would see some of them with (09:26):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: those implants at the gym i remember this woman very vividly because they're (09:31):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: so this is focused on growing the butt that this woman i don't know when she (09:36):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: got this done but she would show up to the gym, (09:41):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: at least every tuesday night, (09:45):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: She didn't really exercise properly. She was just doing the basic high rep shit, (09:48):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: which doesn't help that much except for stamina. (09:53):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: So she was kind of skinny, except her butt was humongous. So she looked like (09:56):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: a weird lollipop from the waist down. (10:01):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: And it was fucking odd to me. (10:04):
undefined

Speaker1: Because if you're going to (10:07):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: Just fake the result. (10:08):
undefined

Speaker1: Why even go to the gym? (10:10):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: If you're going to go to the gym, why buy the results? (10:13):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: I don't, I didn't understand that. And I found out that if you get butt implants, (10:17):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: they're probably going to die earlier because they turn to like fucking concrete (10:21):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: or something over time. I don't know. (10:25):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: There's something obviously fucked up with, you know, injecting yourself with (10:27):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: fake stuff to become bigger. (10:30):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: It's like synthol. If you've heard of that, it's like some kind of, (10:33):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: I don't know, oil that some men would inject into their arms and upper body (10:37):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: to fake having huge biceps. (10:42):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: I don't think that's a thing that most people do anymore, at least. (10:45):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: And that looks bad as well. (10:49):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: But this whole thing, the concept of glute gains and shit like that, (10:51):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: has warped women's minds so much that they go out there looking like fucking (10:57):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: lollipops and they pretend like they earned it by going to the gym and doing whatever. (11:01):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: I'm thinking to myself, you're at a gym, so most people here, (11:07):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: they understand what a fit body looks like. (11:11):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: So when you go in there with implants, it's very obvious. (11:15):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: This is true. Even several years past when I saw that woman and some others at the gym, it's rare. (11:19):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: But I go to another blink now and I see another woman, another Latina woman. (11:26):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: I don't know what the fuck is with them and then this desire for fat asses. (11:30):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: I'm thinking that's not, I'm looking like that's not proportionate to your body. (11:35):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: So it's not, it's not real. That's weird. (11:41):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: And it's sad that it's come to that. but again if you're gonna fake the result (11:45):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: i have no idea why you're at the gym that it makes no fucking sense to me i (11:50):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: guess it's kind of similar to the synthol thing i mentioned like these guys would inject something. (11:54):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: If they're stuck in this all ass needs to be fat mindset that they do do this (12:10):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: stupid booty blast workouts instead of going getting a surgery done, (12:15):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: because at least they will do something and not inject poison into their bodies (12:20):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: for insecurity purposes. (12:25):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: Now let's play devil's advocate. At least these programs get people moving and interested in fitness. (12:27):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: Sure, I guess, but if you start off with bad foundations, you're not building anything worth a damn. (12:33):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: Some people do progress into real. (12:40):
undefined

Speaker1: Exercise that actually works towards their goal and other goals, (12:42):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: But if you start off with like, oh, I'm going to, I'm starting off with a lie, (12:46):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: then, you know, I don't know where you're going to go from there. (12:51):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: Some people see initial results due to increased activity or muscle engagement. (12:56):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: Yeah, I guess. I mean, if you do nothing and then you do something, (13:01):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: it's going to be an improvement. (13:04):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: I, not really a justification, but whatever. (13:05):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: Short targeted programs are less intimidating for beginners than full body strength routines. (13:10):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: They are less intimidating. They're also less effective. So no, (13:17):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: I still don't agree doing targeted programs that are short to start off for beginners. (13:21):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: You're basically having them do a half ass bodybuilding split without them even (13:25):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: giving a shit about bodybuilding. (13:31):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: What would be easier is something that's short and targeted towards the full body. (13:33):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: Some people act like full body workouts take hours and hours. (13:39):
undefined

Speaker1: Nah, they don't. (13:43):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: I mean, that depends on your rest time and how many exercises you're doing (13:44):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: but to hit everything in terms of the big muscle or (13:47):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: excuse me the big movement patterns push pull leg (13:51):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: stuff you know knee dominant hip dominant hinge whatever you (13:54):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: can hit all that in much less (13:58):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: than an hour another devil lie marketing (14:01):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: hype is necessary to stand out and motivate people to (14:04):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: take action in a crowded industry if you're (14:07):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: getting people's attention with a fucking lie basically well fuck (14:10):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: you first of all but it doesn't really (14:14):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: motivate people what you're doing is actually the opposite you're getting people (14:17):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: in under false pretenses and (14:20):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: then when they fail they lose motivation and what (14:23):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: do they do give up or try something else by someone else who fooled them so (14:25):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: you're kind of getting them on a cycle of getting lied to i think that's great (14:31):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: tbh if someone enjoys the workouts even if they're not optimal Isn't that still a win? Slightly. (14:36):
undefined

Speaker1: Like I said, if you're doing, (14:43):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: You know, a million reps with not much resistance, it's not super helpful. (14:45):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: If you're working on endurance that way, just go for a fucking walk. (14:49):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: I mean, like I said, from zero to this, sure, it's better. (14:53):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: I wouldn't call it a win. It is better. (14:58):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: Hopefully they break out of the weird targeted mindset of the ass. (15:01):
undefined

Speaker1: There's more to (15:08):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: Life than a fat ass Some may disagree But it's true, (15:09):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: Alright let's get into some numbers The global fitness industry is worth about (15:14):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: 100 billion dollars with a significant Amount a portion of it driven by Niche (15:18):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: programs and influencer Marketing that means like seven bicep Exercises, (15:22):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: To get ripped, (15:28):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: And booty blast In seven minutes per day those are What a lot of people Like Thank you. (15:30):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: Crazy because it also sets weird expectations for (15:38):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: newbies they think oh yeah yeah okay so I need to I need (15:42):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: to have a whole program for my biceps for (15:44):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: my butt for my chest no just do just do one program just do the fucking movement (15:47):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: patterns 80% of fitness consumers report feeling confused by conflicting advice (15:54):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: and marketing claims yeah no shit you see some boring guy telling you to squat (16:00):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: and you see another fat-ass woman saying, (16:05):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: do this and you get a fat ass, then you might be a little confused. (16:07):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: I don't know how they got this stat, but about 80% of the fitness influencers (16:12):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: who promote complex or specialized approaches, they don't follow that. I think that's kind of. (16:16):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: Ideally you have done it yourself. like I just got recommended this really cool (16:28):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: looking protein it's like egg white (16:35):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: based it looks fucking awesome low ingredients but I haven't tried it so. (16:37):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: Tried this whatever I'm thinking I gotta be really sure or I have to have done (16:52):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: it myself before I even talk about it to someone else. (16:57):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: People who focus on isolated high rep glue exercises are three times more likely (17:01):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: to quit within two months compared to those on balanced progressive programs (17:06):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: where they work on everything over time slowly. (17:10):
undefined

Speaker1: Yeah, no shit. (17:13):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: By the way, unless you're like bodybuilding and focusing on your butt for that (17:14):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: exercise or that day or something like that, just stop fucking doing hip thrusts. (17:20):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: Like it can be part of an exercise routine but you're you're just better off (17:25):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: deadlifting because you're doing a similar, (17:30):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: contraction of the glutes but you're also getting your fucking whole posterior (17:34):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: chain your back's working your hamstrings are working there's a lot of stuff (17:38):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: going on just deadlift instead i'm not saying don't hip thrust but i'm saying (17:40):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: if you have to choose one or the other just fucking deadlift, (17:44):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: Keep your focus on that. You'll get a lot more bang for your buck if you just, (17:48):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: you know, pick up the fucking bar, pick up the kettlebell. Something's deadlift. (17:51):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: That's just me, though. The average consumer spends about $1,900 annually on (17:56):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: fitness products, which is a lot, slash memberships, slash programs with booty (18:01):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: and waist products among the fastest growing. (18:07):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: Might do a separate episode on, like, the waist trainer stuff. That shit is fucked. (18:10):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: 90% of fitness infomercials and online ads talk about some kind of spot reduction (18:16):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: or targeted fat loss despite the scientific evidence pointing out that you can't (18:21):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: spot reduce unless you get liposuction. (18:28):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: So basically most ads you see, most fitness shit is a fucking lie. (18:31):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: I'm not saying all those cool people you follow on the internets are liars. (18:36):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: I'm saying the majority of, let's say ads or products promoted. (18:40):
undefined

Speaker1: These things are misleading at best because (18:44):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: Exist out there who are trying to give you information wink wink (18:53):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: who are legit and by (18:56):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: legit i mean they are not trying to hoodwink you (18:59):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: trying to tell you what's worked for them what they've learned (19:02):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: shit like that they exist but the majority (19:05):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: of it from corporations and stuff are just like hey even (19:08):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: secure piece of shit you want to buy this so you feel like a less (19:12):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: less like a piece of shit pay up the fitness equipment industry sells over 12 (19:15):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: million units of booty bands whatever the fuck that is and other similar gear (19:21):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: annually with about 90 of them of the you know people who buy them abandoning (19:27):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: them abandoning the jesus christ, (19:32):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: abandoning them after about six weeks. (19:35):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: I don't know what a booty band is. I'm assuming it's one of those resistance (19:38):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: bands that are meant to go right at the top of your thighs so that the resistance is a lot. (19:42):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: So when you abduct, put apart your legs, it's something, but I don't know. (19:48):
undefined

Speaker1: I mean, I (19:54):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: Hope it's that. I don't know what else it could be. Two thirds of personal trainers, (19:54):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: say that they have to regularly correct misconceptions that their clients have (19:59):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: about spot reduction and booty blast stuff. (20:04):
undefined

Speaker1: And yeah, that tracks. (20:08):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: I've had to correct a lot of clients in the past about what they thought was (20:09):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: possible, what they think, what they thought they had to do. (20:14):
undefined

Speaker1: To reach their goal. (20:17):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: I might have told this story on here before, but I had a woman when I worked at, (20:19):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: a woman client, when I worked at the YMCA Who really wanted to lose weight She (20:26):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: thought exercising hardcore Was how you did it, (20:33):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: I had her exercise and it was challenging for her, but I don't, (20:37):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: I mean, I guess she wanted more repetitions or something. (20:39):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: Of course, she wouldn't count her calories. So after several weeks, (20:42):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: maybe a couple months, she's like, you know, it's not working for me. (20:46):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: I'm just going to get a pill from some doctor in Mexico. (20:48):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: And I'm thinking, damn, I guess I wasted my breath on you, huh? That's unfortunate. (20:51):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: And that was wild too. I like showed her proof. Hey, I lost a hundred fucking pounds. (20:57):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: I have a pretty decent idea of what I'm talking about. she was kind of rude (21:01):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: with me with me the last few sessions we had she was just trying. (21:05):
undefined

Speaker1: To you know run them out (21:08):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: Because when she told me that she had like two or three left or something, (21:10):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: i'm thinking why why is she like this i'm literally trying to help from from stuff i've learned, (21:14):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: you're saving so much time by just just listening to what i what i did but i (21:20):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: don't know some people can't be helped you can try to correct their expectations (21:25):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: but sometimes they are set in stone, (21:29):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: hope she's doing well and i hope she did (21:31):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: not die from that pill but yeah a lot of clients are they don't really they (21:34):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: don't really know which you know to be fair with all that conflicting information (21:39):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: out there it's tough it's tough out there but yeah i can i can confirm that (21:42):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: a lot of people need to be corrected i mean you still hear fucking oh carbs are bad like guys please, (21:47):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: stuff used in marketing are. (21:55):
undefined

Speaker1: Before and after pictures (21:58):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: Transformations i don't know if you know this but a (21:59):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: lot of those are i'm not saying they're all fake but a lot (22:02):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: of them are there's this really great video (22:05):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: i forgot who did it this is years old basically this (22:08):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: this bodybuilder he took him before and after picture he (22:11):
undefined

undefined

Kevin Tejada: in the morning he hasn't eaten yet he hasn't you know (22:16):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: drink any water and then he spends the day eating like a bunch of salty stuff (22:19):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: a lot of sodium drinking a lot of water like he's full and bloated and he just (22:24):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: lets his stomach out you know pushing it out he looks like a completely different (22:29):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: fucking guy he looks fat basically well i'll say chubby because you can tell (22:33):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: he's strong as shit still, (22:38):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: like the stomach was way out there and even even myself like there's sometimes (22:39):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: in the bathroom i'm looking at myself i'm like damn man like you're not fat (22:44):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: but man fuck you you look like, (22:48):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: You could be better That's just you know body dysmorphia Calling of course but (22:50):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: then at the gym You get the lighting right and like damn man You know what you do exercise Nice, (22:54):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: Because yesterday I was In the gym I was like changing and the lighting I'm (23:03):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: like yo I look Kind of strong I look kind of Fit I. (23:06):
undefined

Speaker1: Didn't know I was (23:11):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: This level of lean that's cool But then you know that's gym lighting You know (23:12):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: straight from above makes you look Awesome, (23:16):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: Then you go elsewhere in real life It's like, well, you're basically average (23:19):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: So, you know What I'm saying is, with the before and afters They can be kind of staged, (23:23):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: To look really shitty beforehand And really good afterwards And I'm going to (23:30):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: tell you, lighting is probably the biggest Fucking I mean. (23:33):
undefined

Speaker1: Lot of these (23:39):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: Seriously you have some good lighting right (23:39):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: above you and it's gonna shadow your body in a very flattering way you have (23:43):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: low light and it's like wow did you just look like some fucking whatever so (23:48):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: watch out for some of those some of those pictures they they they sell those (23:53):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: transformations staged or not they sell a lot because people are like wow that (23:57):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: guy did this Maybe I can do that. (24:01):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: Only 1% to 3% of people who buy quick fix body part programs maintain any results long-term. (24:03):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: I've never heard the term body part program, but yeah, that's basically what they are. (24:11):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: So about, let's say 2% of them maintain any results long-term. (24:15):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: Well, yeah, I mean, if you're already starting off working a fraction of your (24:20):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: body, then your odds are pretty low for improving your overall results. (24:23):
undefined

Speaker1: You're already starting at (24:30):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: Like one-fourth or less, right? Anyways, what can you do about this? (24:31):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: Well, first of all, stop trying to grow your ass. Specifically, grow your body. (24:37):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: Trust me, you grow your body as a whole, you will be shaped in a way that is (24:42):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: pretty fucking close or better than what you were imagining. (24:47):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: Unless you're dumb and you really wanted that kind of lollipop lower body, (24:51):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: that is not possible naturally. (24:54):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: Just remember that. Focus on your whole body. Secondly, if you do want to do (24:57):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: exercises that are actually helpful, focus on the lower body when you're talking about patterns here. (25:02):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: For example, knee dominant exercises, we're talking squats. (25:08):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: Talking about hip hinges as well, those are really helpful. (25:23):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: Deadlifting, single leg deadlifting Romanian deadlifting basically deadlifter (25:27):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: kettlebell swings stuff like that. (25:32):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: To bring up hip thrusts and back extensions and shit because I think you could (25:37):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: do a bit more with those movements but those count too I guess I would not do (25:41):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: hip thrusts though just deadlift, (25:46):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: because those will bring up your body as a whole your legs in total along with (25:49):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: your butt will grow your quads your hamstrings your calves but like just everything (25:55):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: is gonna just end up being nicer, (26:01):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: like honestly if you did only work out with your butt what do you actually expect like you have a, (26:03):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: like a firm butt and the rest of you is just like (26:09):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: pudding or something what do you actually expect to result in just focusing (26:13):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: on your butt because focusing on that is not going to fix the rest of you not (26:17):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: that you need to be fixed of course but if you give attention to one part of (26:22):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: you The rest is not going to come along for the ride. Not really. (26:26):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: So yeah, don't be swayed. Another thing, don't be swayed by a lot of the people (26:31):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: you see online. Sometimes they're on steroids. (26:35):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: Sometimes they've had surgeries. (26:37):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: Oftentimes they're doing much harder shit in the background that they're not (26:40):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: going to tell you about because it's way too hard and not appealing. (26:44):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: You're not going to listen and you're not going to give them likes or money. (26:47):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: For example if i told you hey you (26:50):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: know i it took me like five to six years or so to lose a hundred pounds i went (26:53):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: through this for several months i went through this for several months i went (26:59):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: through this for a couple years i changed this and this and this this and then (27:03):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: i eventually lost a hundred pounds once i learned about blah blah blah blah blah does. (27:06):
undefined

Speaker1: That sound appealing to you or the or does this sound better (27:11):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: Booty trick to make your ass fat as hell and nice in 30 days. (27:16):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: People like the simple shit. It makes them think that it's going to be easy. (27:22):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: It's never going to be easy. If it were, everyone would be doing it. (27:26):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: If you look around, everyone's not doing it. (27:29):
undefined

Speaker1: Anyway, just do the big fucking, do compound movements, (27:32):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: Focus on the movement patterns. Make it challenging. Do it, you know, at least twice a week. (27:36):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: Okay, here, literally do this. Take a dumbbell, kettlebell, barbell if you're (27:42):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: a little advanced, not a total noob. (27:47):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: Start with the lower weight and then raise it to the point where doing, (27:50):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: let's say, three sets of six, seven, or eight repetitions is pretty fucking (27:54):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: challenging. You can't really go to 10. (28:01):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: Okay, do that. Rest like two to three minutes in between a (28:03):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: little more if you need to well and do you know with the other patterns do the (28:07):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: same thing but if we're talking about the butt cheeks here do that at least (28:11):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: twice a week don't eat like shit eat a decent amount of protein you know like (28:15):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: at least a gram per kilogram of your body some people say a gram per pound. (28:20):
undefined

Speaker1: Of your body but (28:24):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: That's a lot so just start off with you know per kilogram (28:25):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: or whatever eat a bunch of protein do that in a few months you're gonna have (28:28):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: a denser ass okay now i'm just noticing what is this spiders maybe two spiders (28:33):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: an ant in my room and that hasn't been the case for for like the two years i've (28:39):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: been here so i'm gonna have to, (28:45):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: kill something right now so anyways i hope you guys make it don't fall for the (28:47):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: booty blast if you do blast yourself in the neck and hope you make it anyway see you next time. (28:52):
