: Episode 1159 - Anna Vocino joins Vinnie Tortorich this Monday (recorded on Vinnie's birthday!), the two talk carb and protein pre-workout myths, Vinnie's workout routine, Weight Watchers' new advertising BS, and more. PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Pure Vitamin Club Pure Coffee Club Thrive Market Villa Cappelli Crowd Cow THE CARBING UP MYTH Eating carbs before a workout is not necessary Vinnie will have four or five egg yolks before a big work out That's plenty! He gets rid of the egg white because the protein can affect blood ketone levels If you're NSNG, you don't need the carbs before or during a big exercise That we need so much protein before a workout is also a myth Especially if you're getting some protein for lunch afterwards WORKOUT ROUTINE Vinnie is going more for endurance than for the extreme He doesn't do anything too crazy LOTS of warmups and getting loose, especially if you are stiff like Vinnie is because of his injury history Then, he'll move into squats or deadlifts If you have so much weight that you can't do 8 reps, you should TAKE OFF weight WEIGHT WATCHERS They changed their name to WW Freestyle It's their new branding "Weight Watchers" makes people think of their parents and bland diets "Don't have to track or measure" everything anymore Still eating sugars and grains Won't help your metabolic issues It's still calorie-in calorie-out They maybe are reducing carbs a little, but it's still low-fat and medium-to-high carb Not good for you, and not sustainable Really have not done anything but change the name
