The Brian Keane Podcast

Q+A 1: How to get back into training after the being sick? 2: How many days a week should you train, is between 5-7 days good? 3: Can you go over your investing/spending/ wasting time and money thing from Snapchat, please? 4: What's more important to lose body - eating a calorie deficit or keeping protein high? 5: Should I do cardio before or after weights? 6: I use to have a thing with my housemate but he put a stop to it. Now every time I get drunk I get really upset or do something stupid. I don't want it to be awkward in the house because we're really good friends but we can't enjoy going out together anymore. What do I do?

Currently in the middle of your book and your anxiety podcast was so helpful. Do you have any other mindset or philosophy book recommendations for a beginner? I'm juggling with a new-born, career, training and college, any tips? What do you think of fat burners, are they harmful or helpful? - I've lost my way in life, don't even have the energy to go to the gym anymore, what should I do? A guy I'm texting wants me to send him nude photos, I'm not sure if I should, what if anyone else sees them but I'm afraid he won't text back if I don't do it?

Q+A How can I boost my immune system- recently every time I train, I wake up sick the next day? Does the length of rest time between sets matter if your goal is muscle building? I just hit a wall and don't want to go to the gym this week, should I push through or take a break? Do you have any rest days? Is it true if I stop having sex then my performance in the gym will get better?

Learn how you can balance your nutrition, training, supplements to shift the Xmas pounds and set yourself up for attaining your goals for 2018!

I've probably learnt more in this last year than I had in the previous five combined. I hope this episode helps as much as it helped me re-listening to it. Self-awareness is more important than any skill or knowledge you can learn. You need to do what's important to you and not what the world says you should do. "Be yourself because everyone else is taken" – Oscar Wilde Process is EVERYTHING! I spent large chunks of 2016 doing things that I thought would make me 'successful' – success comes when you love what you're doing "If you can't be happy on the journey, how are you going to be happy at the destination?" – Buddha Success is massively subjective – two years ago, I got everything I thought would make me successful 'a new house, a brand new car, money in my bank account etc' but I felt the exact same by the end of the year. This year I learnt that 'success' for me is spending time with my little girl and helping as many people as I can with videos, podcasts and programs. Find what 'success' really means to you and you'll be surprised how easy it is to hit it. Happiness comes from subtraction, not addition. I always thought that 'i'll be happy when.. I have this car.. this house.. this level of body fat.. this amount of money etc." – I was always adding and putting my happiness into some external addition to what I currently have. This year I learnt more about the things that truly bring me happiness and fulfilment and it comes from taking things away (people, things, situations), not adding them. " Perfection isn't when there's nothing left to add, its when there's nothing left to take away" Antoine de Saint-Exupery Knowledge is just filling the gaps between what you don't know you don't know AND it can be learned! Everything you don't know, you can look up, it's the things you 'don't know you know' that will kill you. Books,

Thoughts on a dirty bulk, will the fat turn into muscle? How do u set your goals on your whiteboards? Watch and view everything you do and it begs this question, how do you managing to get everything done and squeezed into a day?Like how are you that motivated dude it's amazing- It's a trait I struggle with and hoping you might give me a few tips and do you ever sleep?Look forward to your response, thanks, bud. I fancy my friend's sister, she fancies me as well. My friend doesn't approve though, is there any way I can hook up with his sister without falling out with him?

1) How can I wake up earlier, I struggle to get up as it? 2) What are your thoughts on smoking (on nights out for example)? 3) How can I stop being bullied? 4) I'm spending over an hour in the gym, how long should my sessions be? 5) My question, therefore, is how does one break through the mindset of accepting mediocrity as a baseline(ie. 'I've been good enough today so I deserve this')and excel to get nutrition and training on point simultaneously?

Today I turned 30 so apologies if this one is a little scattered, I literally just pressed record and talked for this whole episode and jumped around a bit. I hope it helps all the same. 1) Don't take yourself too seriously 2) Nobody really cares what you do, think or say 3) You're better to have 4 quarters than 100 pennies 4) You can have anything you want, just not everything you want 5) Don't let ego be your enemy
