When our lives are full of chaos we lose sight of our goals. It's up to us to establish some structure to our days, and work on disciplining ourselves to stay on track.
On this podcast, I talk with a member of bodhi (client) and first-time physique competitor in the Jersey Cup Classic Bodybuilding and Physique championships in Atlantic City, NJ.
This podcast isn't just for competitors though, we can all take something from being more disciplined with our lives.
We talk about fitness, nutrition, and the mindset needed to accomplish anything in life.
Believe in yourself.
Trust The process.
Practice Patience.

In this podcast, I met up with Joe DeFranco - World-renowned strength and conditioning coach in his private (and secret) NJ based facility.
We talked about his rise to become one of the best coaches in the world, and how he's overcome trauma that would have made most people quit.
From entrepreneurship to training just about every NFL team as well as WWE Superstar Triple H we talked about it all.
A great podcast for coaches, entrepreneurs, and anyone whos inspired by overcoming odds to become great!

We understand the importance of eating balanced meals throughout the day when trying to lose weight.
But, as life can get very busy we sometimes skip meals. In this episode, Karen and Anthony explain what happens to your body when you skip meals and share valuable insight on what to do when it happens to avoid weight gain.
Please share this with your friend who is trying to lose weight and is unsure about what to do when they skip meals, thank you!
#56 Learning The Art Of The Process
In this episode, I chopped it up with James who is an amateur bodybuilder and men’s physique competitor. James is also a professional salesman and he relates to building his body like being a successful salesman, through the process. He shares some really great takeaways like “You can control what you do, but you can’t always control the results”. A key component when transforming your body, building a career and everything in between. Focus on the process of becoming and the results will eventually show up.
We also talk about delaying gratification and how taking just a few minutes to think before you act can drastically increase your chances of accomplishing the desired outcome.
Please share this with someone you feel would find value, thank you!
Happy Thanksgiving!
Enjoy all the foods, and get back on track on Friday!
Do you feel threatened by other gyms opening in your area?
I get this question quite often, especially from members of bodhi expressing concern with all the new gyms opening up in Somerville NJ.
I appreciate the growth of the fitness industry and how it's become popular enough to have a gym on every corner these days. There are many options for people and I like it when people can see and experience the difference between each of them.
And when/if people come to bodhi for our program it is a sign that they really want to be there.

How to stick to your diet pin the weekends?
The weekend mentality will ruin your gains, that’s a fact.
So many people go hard Monday - Friday and on the weekends, the throw away their hard work by overeating. When it comes to weight loss, this is a 24/365 job. That may deter you from starting a weight loss plan but it’s the truth.
That being said, it does get easier when you practice a healthier more sustainable approach to overall health and weight loss.
Karen and I dive into this topic as we feel it’s the #1 reason people don’t see as much success as they could.
Please leave us a review for this podcast and direct all your bodybuilding, fitness and weight loss questions to my Instagram @anthonymonetti. You ask the questions, we answer them! #askmonetti
There is no such thing as overtraining, just under-eating.
Or it overtraining really a thing?
Both are true. You can definitely over train, and there are times when you are just under-eating, under sleeping and bore of your current workout routine.
Karen and I dive into some stories about overtraining and share tips to avoid plateaus and ultimately overtraining.

Should I skip a meal after a cheat meal?
In today's 9 min #askmonetti episode, Karen and I discuss what you should do and what you shouldn't do after a "cheat meal".
First, let’s not call you a cheater. The foods we label as good and bad cause us to have an unhealthy relationship with food. And it’s not the foods that are bad or good, it’s the quantity that makes the difference. I mean there are good healthy foods and foods that are not so nutritious. Great t tasting foods don’t have to be taboo and eliminated from your diet.
Furthermore, eat the foods you enjoy in moderation. And if you have a meal that wasn’t in your diet plan and your account for it, it’s ok. You didn’t fuck anything up. However, we hear people skipping their next meal, and even fast the next day to balance out one meal and it's causing more disruption to your weight loss goal.
When your blood sugar is elevated from a high-calorie meal, your blood sugar drops just as quickly soon after. If you do not eat anything for hours after your blood sugar drops to a point where you are physiologically looking for food to raise it back up.
This is the roller coaster many people take themselves on from being scared to eat while feeling guilty most of the time. Also, please consider your mental health when you are constantly in a mental struggle of what foods are good, bad.
Thank you for listening to this podcast, if you have a question hit us up on social using #askmonetti and we will create a video using our knowledge from experience.
And if you listen to this and find any value please share with a friend who may also find value, thank you!
Believe in yourself.
Trust the process.
Practice patience.

WNBF Pro Figure overall champ 2015
So, what you missed early on this cool chat was Tiffany was describing her multi race background, her pro card win and her recent trip to Hawaii.
Once we got to talking, Tiffany's voice mis matches her physique. She is soft spoken, polite and a self described introvert. The physique that Tiffany brought to the stage in 2015 was nothing short of amazing and powerful.
The 2015 WNBF Pro Figure Overall Champ TIffany Nikol Sipos speaks about her journey to become the new age standard of Natural Figure competitors.
