Today, I welcome back Carl Berryman, a friend, a peer, a mentor, a brother, and the host of Inspired by Impact - A Podcast for Men, for a fascinating conversation on crushing body composition and fitness goals. We explore vulnerability, taking action, and introspection in personal growth. Carl shares his experience with progress tracking, muscle building, and the impact of lean muscle mass. We discuss overcoming plateaus, support systems, and the mind-muscle connection. Touching on setting weight goals, self-acceptance, and daily gratitude, Carl introduces his "cookie jar" ritual for reflecting on accomplishments. As one of the few men who genuinely inspire me to be better, I had the privilege of interviewing Carl on Wits & Weights Episode 47, and he interviewed me on Episode 37 of the Inspired by Impact podcast.Tune in for an insightful episode that inspires you to tackle your fitness goals with determination and focus.__________Book a FREE 30-minute call with Philip here.__________Today you’ll learn all about:[5:05] Vulnerability vs. taking action[7:43] Principles and methods in managing energy balance, and tracking[15:57] Sustainability, mindset, and goals[19:40] Carl's story[23:17] Longevity and health that come from lean mass[25:01] Lifting heavy, progressive overload, and the right mindset[27:29] Pushing through weight and lifting plateaus, and identity-based habit[33:22] How his support system contributes to his process[38:51] Measuring everything in the day-to-day[43:21] How Carl is dealing with his weight stall[45:03] The problem with tracking and a different approach to tracking[52:22] What surprised Carl during the process[55:16] Listening to music while working out[57:32] How to know when you're done and when to switch gears[1:01:22] The question Carl wanted Philip to ask him [1:06:04] OutroEpisode resources:Wits & Weights podcast Ep 47: Upgrade Your Fitness, Health Relationships, and Communication with Carl BerrymanInspired by Impact podcast EP037 PREP Health & Fitness - Multiple Orgasms, Shedding Fat, One-Step Stress Relief, and Bringing Your Business to Life?
