Training Day Podcast w/ Hasan Adkins Jul 05, 2019
30: 5 Lessons I’ve learned as a Freestyle and Greco Roman Wrestler to help you get results Pt.2
My lessons I’ve learned as High School Varsity Wrestler and All-State Greco Roman and Freestyle Wrestler 18 years ago.
Wrestling by far is the greatest sport known to man, and I it has taught me every life lesson I could have thought of, introduce me to friends of over 25 years, and keeps me moving forward.
I use to wrestle 135 to 140lbs, but I would lose 15-20 lbs every week or so to compete, and I used the most craziest methods back then to see a lower scale weight. (like barely eating and using the waist trainers to make weight)
Here’s my top weight loss lessons:
If counting calories makes you “miserable,” then you should change your mindset. Keep track of your calories is no different than your financial budget.
Sweating more and “feeling like you worked out” are poor indicators of an effective workout. I use to sweat through shirts at at time, but still was more tired than in shape. Focus on rep increases, overall improvement in cardio, and your overall self confidence is great.
HIIT training isn’t for everyone. I believe HIIT training has its place, but most people simply do not need it. It’s too much on the body, and most people are tight an stiff; and this causes more harm than good. If you focus on consistent workouts and tracking your food, you’ll have better results and all your joints in tact.
The number on the scale isn’t worth your sanity. If you have to fast for a long time, and miss outings due to your schedule, and find yourself in bed -avoidig people, this is your sign to end that “diet.” There will be ups and downs, but the number on the scale is just that: a number. A lighter weight will not make you inherently happy.
Recovery is vital, think of your self in 15 years.

0.16: Here’s 5 Diet Tips To Help Flatten Your Stomach, and Get the V-Taper
Start PROTEIN , instead of the sugary foods and cereals.
Drink half your body weight in water by 2 pm to boost your metabolism.
Swap out sodas and juices for Zevia or low calorie drinks.
Don’t train fasted for OPTIMAL long term results.
Have Oatmeal after Dinner or Peanut butter and light toast. If you have any questions about losing belly fat, email me at hasana.adkins@gmail.com

0.18: Why Meals Plans Are as Useful as the Jet’s QB’s playbooks, Power of Bands, and #TUHC update
Today I hit the gym for the morning, and it wasn’t too bad. I had an original meal by meal guide or standard meal plan, and decided to scrap that for a few reasons:
Too Restrictive
Lack of Flexibility for busy day
Meal plans are great, if your personality is very literal or Type A, and you will follow it and feel no stress or anxiety- go for it. In my experience, meal plans are more stressful than New York Jet’s games.
Here’s what I’m finding extremely successful, almost like Eli Manning in the SuperBowl or Connor Mcgreggor. (before the drugs)
Learn the overall concept of how to eat for YOUR goals
Hit your protein goal - 1g of protein per pound of bodyweight
Hit your hydration goal - ½ your body in ounces of water
Sub goal: Add greens and fruits in for digestion and minerals.
Eliminate: Bread, milk, liquor, dairy, all processed foods, and sugary drinks.
Training: Bands are my go to for training for a few and simple reasons:
I rarely get hurt
I can travel with them
I can workout from home
I don’t have to worry about how many sets and reps
Rarely sore
The second best Quarterback of my generation uses bands and had amazing results. As you get older, your body may need to go to more restorative training and not so much the heavy weights.

0.17: Finding Success in Chaos, Prime Time Method to Make Nutrition Easy to Follow For Weight Loss.
I’m doing this cut to feel less fat and get more jacked.
*Finding success in Chaos. The first day of a cut is generally chaotic. I was multitasking and trying to do the ultimate cut stuff with the day's Chaos.
The first day’s non-negotiables are:
Pictures
Weight- 192.4 lbs
Water ******
Protein
I had my brother take my pics, so they suck. But it’s a way to look at progress and see a baseline
I personally like to use day 1 as a lower intensity cardio day and focus on planning and executing.
My technique is using the Prime Time Method for food. We use the 2 meals and 1 snack method.
The morning is 1 cup of oatmeal with 1 cup of Lactaid milk and 3 boiled egss or owyn protein shake.
Macro breakdown:
60 grams of carbs
44 grams of protein
Snack: 2 cups of greek yogurt - 30 grams or protein
Dinner
2 chicken burgers
Handful of salad with cranberry and walnuts
75 oz of water.
0.15: The Power of Lasagna and It’s Impact on Me, and 3 Nutritional Mistakes You Need To Avoid
Lasagna seems to be missed out of the powerfoods of the food charts, but in my book, it has great nutritional values, but also brings up memories for me and my late cousin, Deon.
I originally created the name with the help of a business mentor at the time and he suggested I combine my name with Lasagna, and we agreed.
My love for lasagna, MMA, and passion for a healthier living, has left me to creating the #HAS coaching program, where I show people over 30 how to get Healthier, Athletic, and Stronger.
Here are 3 of my top Nutritional Mistakes most busy people make, and what the science says behind it:
Aim to be perfect. The goal is to be 80% compliant with your nutritional eating plan, that should fit your lifestyle. Pick one or 2 habits, and have sniper-like efficiency with hitting it that goal.
Taking out one major food group (such as carbs) when the scale is up. Carbs aren’t the bad guys, it’s the processed foods, excessive snacking, and drinking.
Lack of Water. Water increases your metabolism by up to 2%

Episode 14: How To Train While Injured, Lessons From Deon Sanders, HIIT segment
Here are my notes from the episode:
Here’s how to train while Injured.
Focus on 2 of the 3 main pillars when looking to get healthier: mindset and nutrition.
For your training, you can do light cardio, and accessory work until the pain goes away.
If it lasts longer than 7 days, the best thing would be to seek medical help.
Top nutritional habits-
*What worked well this week and didn’t?
*What are some good high quality foods, what are the easiest ways to log my food to track my results. We suggest focusing on high protein meals to help with muscle growth and feel fuller.
Review what foods you should eliminate to see better. Focus on eating 6/7 days with better food choices.
Here’s are some of the top lessons from Deon Sanders:
👉🏽 Focus on building your skills set and if you outgrow your current situation, it’s fine to move on.
👉🏽 life is about growth and progression and always help those who helped you.
HIIT segment:
1. Eat palm sized protein of 3-4oz with 3-4x servings a day. This improves your feeling of fullness, which eliminates excessive snacking.
2. Drink Zevia instead of traditional soda. This takes the excessive sugar out of your system, and you won’t get bored with just water.
3. Drink black coffee or green tea- plain. This is an appetite suppressant and helps you make it through your fasting window. I lost 4 lbs using this technique.
4. Weigh your foods like your weigh yourself. Here’s what I do: weigh protein - like 86 grams of protein is 26 grams of protein.

Episode 12: How To Start Your Weight Loss Journey Easily and See Results in 2023 and Beyond
👉🏽 Focus on cardio on busier days. I am sticking with moderate intensity cardio movements to keep me in action for about 90 minutes a week.
👉🏽 Aim to eat “dirty” 20 percent of the time. Find ways to focus on foods you love and enjoy for your planned diet. This avoid the misery feeling in a cut.
Here’s the habit based RESULTS TIPS for you to do now and see results.
1) Focus on 2 results based habits and combine those over 21 days. (Nutrition and sleep are great places to start). Aim for 5:7 days of compliance.
2) Don't rush your results, this your lifetime journey, so let’s be good at it. This avoids costly mistakes, such as crash diets, poop teas, belly wraps, and Dr. Miami.
3) Build an “unbreakable routine” for 6 days. This focuses on your consistency on the RIGHT THINGS. Aim to do this 6/7 days.
I started my weight loss journey at 186 lbs, and thought it would be easier, but almost blew out my tricep on day 2 and didn't complete any meal prep, but still saw a weight drop of 4 lbs in 10 days.
Adversity will come and you can overcome this, just like I am, if you followed the above steps. If this was helpful, please share with a friend and follow me on Instagram @Hasagna.

Episode 11: 8 Ways To Ensure Your Holiday Goals Are Met Pt.2
5. Accountability - this gets your feet to the pavement. Keep your check ins consistent and easy to complete. We use voice notes and video check ins every 30 days for compliance. We ask questions like: How was the workout? Do we need to swamp any exercises? One way to ensure a simple checkin is completed: Spousal penalty .
6. Morning routine - prioritize what needs to be done for your goals , even if you have 30 minutes to yourself. Pick the number 1 thing which needs to be accomplished - and in that time. This allows for flow.
7. Plan ahead with workouts and meals. This eliminates decision making. A lot of cuts never go as planned, due to mismanaged expectations. I have times I’m going to eat which allows for me to stay on track and focused in the midst of the day’s chaos. Plan 48-72 hours out - if possible. Don’t wait til your balls deep in meetings to try and plan what to eat.
8. Allow for errors. The beginning of a cut is a HOT Ass MES. You have to go from researching and waiting to education based and action focused for these results.

UFC #239 WAS INCREDIBLE!
Jon Jones and Santos brought fireworks to the main event.
It was a close fight, but Jones ultimately won against a game Santos.
Freaking BEN ASKREN and Masvidal!!! record-breaking fight, lol.
Askren lost, but he somehow came out a winner with his post-fight interview comments (lol).
Masvidal looking for the belt and the big payday.
Jan took out Luke Rockhold and it was ugly. I felt bad for Luke; speedy recovery man.
What's next for Jan? I'm thinking Dominic Reyes.
But, moving along...
Saturday night Leon and RDA throw down under the big lights.
Both great fighters, but I got RDA beating him in a split decision.
