Releasing Yourself From The Cult Of The Body | Soul On Fire Podcast Ep 3
In this coaching podcast, I want you to free your headspace from self-sabotage as we move through your fitness journey.
The cult of the body places your appearance, and your physicality above all else – removed from the person that you are. It doesn’t care or consider your mental, emotional, or spiritual development as a whole human person.
And when it comes to your fitness, it is what forces us to be obsessed with the scale, our flaws, hyper self-consciousness of our bodies, and how we look.
As you can imagine, NONE of this is very fruitful when it comes to reaching our goals and feeling satisfied once we get there. Or even accepting who we are as we work to change.
Well, today’s podcast is going to help you to start to move past this.

Four Days To Glory – Total Body Recomping Training Program
Who says you need to spend everyday in the gym to see progress? You don’t! With this program we are going to rock out a solid 4 days in the gym. During these workouts though, you know you’re going to be pushed to your limits!
Around the 3rd week on the plan, up your weights to beat your numbers set in the previous two. And, I’d suggest to follow this one for a good 4-6 weeks or so. We’re hitting up 2 days of total body workouts, one upper, and one lower body day. So even though we’re only jamming 4 days during the week, we are STILL hitting everything from head to toe.
If you want to add a 5th day, that’s cool. Perhaps do something that’s a full cardio only day for active recovery vs adding an extra workout would be a good idea here.
Also, this workout is perfect for an “active rest” type of week. If you did one of our more strenuous cycles, this is a great way to allow your body to recover while staying active in the gym.

Let’s Get It Started Metabolic Circuit
also afterward. We want you to be challenged so make sure that you are lifting as heavy as you can with excellent form and technique.
If you need to take 20-30 seconds between each exercise your first time through, then feel free to do so but the goal is to go through the circuit with NO REST in between exercises.
If you want an extra challenge, time yourself going through the circuit and each week try to improve your time by decreasing your rest periods and becoming more efficient at performing the exercises.

Legs – Streamline and Chisel Training
This workout is the first part in a series I followed for my prep for the IFBB Ultimate Warriors. One of my goals during that prep was to really stimulate my lower half, push hard in the gym, and bring about the conditioning that I need to hit the stage.
Now, my goal in general was always to keep the same intensity precontest that I hit in the off season. And a lot of why I train over various rep ranges and modalities (and have clients train that way as well) is so that I can pull from my bag of tools in season and have fantastic results.
So this workout is going to play more with power, strength endurance, and a little bit of stabilization. Listen to your body, train hard, and keep your eye focused on the prize. During this contest prep phase, I performed this specific workout 2x per week and for 2 full weeks.
The GOAL though is to try to beat your numbers (amount of weight, number of reps, less rest) each time you do it. So the challenge comes in trying to raise the bar each and every time.
