Ep 61: You Can't Ride Two Horses With One Ass..Let's Talk Weight Loss And Performance

🎙️ Episode Title: "You Can't Ride Two Horses With One Ass… Weight Loss and Performance"

In this episode, Rob breaks down a common fitness dilemma: should you focus on losing weight or improving performance? Spoiler alert—you can’t effectively do both at once (unless you’re a newbie!).

We explore:

• What it actually means to “choose a goal”
• The science and strategy behind weight loss: calorie deficit, smart food choices, exercise types (cardio, lifting, HIIT), and the underrated power of sleep
• How performance enhancement typically requires a calorie surplus, progressive training, and variety in movement
• Why sleep matters just as much as your workouts for both goals
• How mindset and programming can make or break your progress, especially if you're stuck repeating what used to work

💡 Clinical Bottom Line: If you're new to training, you can see progress in both weight loss and performance. But for the seasoned athlete, it’s time to get intentional: pick your priority, fuel it accordingly, and train smart.
