This conversation is with Ryan Sadilek. Ryan is the creator of Minus The Gym, a health and fitness brand centered around bodyweight fitness and plant-based nutrition. Ryan is a certified personal trainer (ACE-CPT) and nutrition specialist (ACE-FNS) whose teachings on YouTube alone have helped literally thousands of people improve their level of fitness and overall health and wellbeing. Ryan's goal is to help people understand that everyone has the power to turn their health around and get on a better track. Fitness is always accessible and nutrition doesn't have to be confusing. And the only limiting factor in improving ourselves is our own level of self-belief.
We cover:
- How Ryan found fitness and a plant-based diet
- The unique benefits of calisthenics training
- Recommended equipment
- Weekly programming for a beginner vs advanced exerciser
- Balancing aerobic and strength training
- Low vs high repetitions and muscle hypertrophy
- Whether you should train to failure
- The fundamental movements of calisthenics
- Which skills you can train daily
- How to progress past a strength plateau
- The power of “greasing the groove”
- Common mistakes people make
- Improve your abs (and top 3 exercises)
- Why showing up and being consistent is key
- Ryan’s post workout smoothie recipe
- Tips for transitioning to a plant-predominant diet
- Why he only ate bananas for an entire week
