[@troponinnutrition]

Very thankful to Mark and Nsima for having me on! Been a fan of the MBPP for a long time and this was the first time I'd ever been nervous going on a podcast. Thanks for having us out and letting me rant!

[@JonathanRoyer]

Justin you’re the best 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[@matthewescobedo3535]

The information you delivered is amazing! Thank you for being on

[@KoltonLukes]

This was a great one! Thanks Justin!

[@abakatsias]

Awesome information here. Thank you so much. .Can you explain the thumbnail trick you mentioned for tracking photo progress. Current nutrition coach here and I'm just trying to expand my toolbelt to provide the best result I can for my clients. TIA!!

[@ghostbc5214]

Great job Justin. Always good to hear from you

[@1stdetachment]

Thanks for featuring Justin Harris and 1st Detachment on the Power Project! This was an awesome talk, and we are pumped to be a part of the show!

[@strongnerd4638]

Justin Harris (and Vigorous Steve) is one of the most underrated guys in the industry IMO. I don’t know how Justin isn’t on multiple podcasts. Dude is so smart and scientific with explanations. Loving this podcast episode.

[@CankleCankle]

He was recently on Dave Tate’s Elite FTS table talk. I’m not sure what exactly appeals to me with the science/fitness guys, but I do thoroughly enjoy Justin’s approach.

[@strongnerd4638]

@@CankleCankle same, I agree

[@VigorousSteve]

Thanks brother! Honestly hearing Justin Harris talk makes me realize a have lot more to learn :D

[@paulnikeqt]

especialy since justin has been on it for half of our lifetimes

[@DavenportBarbell]

He’s way smarter than Vigorous Steve there’s no comparison

[@shawnturner7064]

I must admit, I have watched this episode about 10 times already. So much information! TEAM BELL and TEAM JUSTIN. Love it.

[@karenbeam3026]

Justin has always drawn my attention for his expertise in nutrition science. I have all his books and watched all his videos, podcasts with Dave etc. This podcast has been both a good recap of carb cycling and entertaining. I am a competitive powerlifter and ref, own a gym with my Husband and practice the Conjugate method of Westside. That is where Mark comes into play. I have followed him since the beginning :) Made my day when I saw the two of you were doing a podcast together. Thanks for the material.

[@JonathanRoyer]

One of the best coaches in the industry for sure! His carb Cycling approach is different the most and he tries to make dieting easier for most people.

[@shawnturner7064]

Wow Wow Wow. I am so glad you guys got Justin on the show. Two straight hours of EAT EAT EAT Knowledge.

[@garrettshinoskie9318]

Justin’s information is a game changer. Been a fan of his content since he founded Troponin Nutrition. Used his principles with numerous athletes and general clientele with great success! Thanks Power Project for another great episode!

[@Waterheaterserviceproplus]

It’s my birthday and I’m trying to get less fatterest so this is great!

[@Peep24]

Mines Friday happy bday 🎉

[@Waterheaterserviceproplus]

You too bro!

[@MarkBellsPowerProject]

Happy birthday!

[@Alex44081]

This guy is awesome. He’s super jacked and a physicist! Loved his humility. I’m taking a lot of nuggets from this one

[@jimmyleoni89]

Justin's appearances on pods are always top tier, awesome episode!

[@jordanhuskins8299]

Man everytime I hear Justin talk about his mathematics studies it just blows my mind this bodybuilder is this smart. I have the most respect for Justin as a coach I think it he put his sites on becoming the top coach kinda like Jansen has he definitely would be the next hani rambod. Much respect 🫡

[@DavenportBarbell]

Justin Harris is by far the smartest person in nutrition

[@negativefx83]

Fantastic show fellas - Justin is awesome and just a wealth of knowledge. We're glad to see you boys decided to have him on!

[@mattepton5731]

I watch Justin on Big Paul Barnett’s channel and he is outstanding ! Thank you for having him on today !

[@akultisgod5538]

this guy just gave a fullblown class! taking notes literally.

[@XTheSpartanX7]

I’m a regular guy but I love Justin talking about carb cycling. I do it to to the best of my ability and it’s working

[@30pipeliner]

I have been following Justin and his dieting approach for years. I also absolutely love his supplements at 1st Detachment. I’m actually being coached by one of Team Troponins coaches now and I have had my best year thus far moving into prep. Great show

[@michaelharris6441]

Had to pause to video to watch the predator jungle scene !

[@paulallen6992]

Great episode. Big fan of the rapid-fire format. Lots of info packed in here.

[@UnreaI94]

Justin is incredible all around. He’s got scholastic credentials and time under the iron. Project super heavyweight is a cardio favourite of mine. There’s no fucking fluff with anything that he prescribes. Wether it’s training or diet. It’s all “meat and potatoes”. One of my favourite quotes (loosely) from Justin “if you pull 600x10 you’re going to have a big back wether you want it or not”. Similarly to eating 6k calories of meat and rice. So refreshing in todays world of fad diets and exercises. And would you people shut up about the space travel lol

[@jacobweidner9405]

Justin is the best

[@ostinspace]

Great show, love the carb cycling.

[@RockFreak1793]

Justin is a great guy! I’m stoked you had him on your POD Smelly! I’ve used justin as a coach and he’s awesome!

[@ozgurozturk4067]

Great podcast knowledgeable and able to explain the information in a way that’s easy to understand

[@dharrison9221]

Justin really is one of the best in the business! Dani and David are awesome (and jacked) too

Good chat this one ..thank you lads . Let us have one more encore ..one more new chat with Justin , maybe more research updates by now . Now where did I leave my .Tren O Hearn tee shirt ...lol 😀

[@paulnikeqt]

Great Podcast

[@JasonN858]

Great content! Energy in = energy out, but not all energy is stored; energy is wasted. Eat too much fat and it goes right through you. When very low carb we lose energy through excess ketones; urine, breathing, and sweat.

[@AlphaCrypto81]

I take dlpa daily for mood and energy. Also to keep my Kratom doses lower and stretched out between doses. It's a game changer

[@jamesatkinson5805]

This is the first time hearing about Justin, i liked what he had to say, nothing was controversial, a lot of common sense. I should say it shouldn't be controversial, but in this idiocracy we live in, the last few years i've seen people both in the High Carb Low Fat camps, and the Zero Carb aka Carnivore camps sadly denying energy balance, saying calories don't count. Thinking that if they follow their particular macros they will be able to eat as much as they want, and if you correct that assumption you are attacked. Sigh. Meanwhile, that misbelief is creating a lot of health problems not the least being weight gain

[@TheBullFather_ofAll]

Guy is amazing..arms of a Greek God..Yet, a bodybuilder who isnt a malignant narcissist. He actually wants to live up to the image of the bodybuilder as a powerful good disciplined hard working man who works to make a positive selfless contribution to the world. He channels great men of the past the soldiers , the hard working blue collar workers, the family men , the principaled and heroic men who freed the world. Justin should be a leader for the industry, reinvent it to produce selfless bodybuilders not false idols of empty muscles and weak souls. Make iconic men who inspire us to seek to slay dragons and be stronger and better men to serve orhers not seek a life being a self serving celebrity.

[@felipearbustopotd]

If anything you are about to eat has a nutritional label ( in essence, a warning label ) - think twice before eating it. It was nicely summed up, Only eat it, if it can be hunted, picked, dug up or grown.

[@SuperNegawsklov]

Awesome ❤

[@MrNicovdw]

love justin will write a cookbook for Athletes

[@alrom125]

That explanation about time space at around 11:00 was…..wow

[@medeirosru]

His answer of getting to Mars in 4 years must be worst case scenario because our rovers get launched at the specific time where are planets are the closest which is roughly 6-7 months. And we are so far radio signals are delayed anywhere between 5 and 20 mins depending on the position between the 2 planets. So every command or message sent and received has a 56k dial up delay lol.

[@troponinnutrition]

I’m not an expert on Mars travel. They asked a question and I answered what I thought I remember reading. It should only take about 7 months to get to Mars it appears

[@EDDY_D26]

Contra!!! 😂old school!!! I had it

[@zachmulder8358]

When Justin was talking about carb cycling doing a large carb day on a day your trying to bring up a body part that might be lagging- what if you train early in the morning, would you hit your high carbs at night?

[@troponinnutrition]

If you train in the morning it works even better-then you have the whole day after to supply the higher amount of nutrients

[@MyuzikuNouto]

Sick juice voice!

[@GuyBuddyFriend]

Where’s Bart Kay when we need a reaction video? How did this guy finish a Masters in Physics without understanding we don’t eat Calories?

[@heaz32]

Interesting that around the 42:00 minute mark they're confused as to why the fruit group is reporting feeling better than the processed sugar group. Sure, fructose is fructose and sucrose is sucrose, but c'mon. The processed foods come with things that aren't food for humans. The fruit has fiber, bioavailable vitamins and minerals, and perhaps enzymes and good bacteria. It's clear to anyone with common sense that an orange isn't equivalent to a snickers bar. Why do the guys all caught up in the sCiEnCe, like this guy and Layne Norton, continue to hyper focus on the macro and not everything else that comes with the food choice???

[@jeffmacs2o223]

In a perfect world ppl would utilize proper foods for their diets etc.. however ppl aren't perfect so Justin makes the diets in a way so that if you're loading up carbs from fruit or sugar cereals you can do so bc ppl will crave things..

[@medeirosru]

Also the fruits soluble fiber is attached to a lot of the sugar in the fruit, which would make sense why you would feel better. The processed fructose in most cases has no soluble fiber and its well processed like drinking juice.

[@heaz32]

@@jeffmacs2o223 I get that. What I'm trying to get across is why play dumb about the reasons someone might feel better eating fruits vs processed carbs

[@heaz32]

@@medeirosru Why do you think the fiber would make you feel better? The carbohydrates will still be digested and absorbed. I think it might be something to do with the processed foods that aren't actually real food for humans that would make someone feel not great.

[@medeirosru]

@@heaz32 because it's binded to the sugars which instead of being free and absorbed is attached to the soluble fiber, so your digesting less sugar. So you don't feel as tired and lathargic Or so goes the theory

[@bmagaziner]

“Try to eat 50g of carbs from an apple, your stomach will rip open” The fuck are you talking about, that’s 2 apples

[@troponinnutrition]

It was a poor number choice. The point was that a granny smith apple is about 15g carbs and it's going to be really hard to dramatically over eat a food source like that.

[@TheStreetLiftingStoic]

I’m already skeptical of the rest of this podcast

[@TheStreetLiftingStoic]

It takes 6-7 months to get to Mars, not4 years. And time dilation wouldn’t affect us that much.

[@medeirosru]

caught that too, makes you wonder what other info is incorrect, say with enough confidence and you can convince anyone.

[@troponinnutrition]

@@medeirosru I don’t think it was said with much confidence. I’m no expert on mars travel. They asked a question and I answered with what I thought I remember reading. I tried to emphasize at the end that time dilation wouldn’t have much effect at those speeds and timeframe.

[@michaelanthony4750]

"Aspartame is like adderall" and adderall is like meth so why not just smoke meth to lose weight? :)

[@KC-lg8qf]

Only thing I disagree with that he said is that you cannot spot reduce fat. I know this has been a common belief in the industry for a long time but it's simply not true and there are studies to prove it. Anecdotally everyone has seen a jacked power lifter at the gym with a huge gut and ripped arms. Most will say that genetically he just puts on fat in different places but the more likely reason is that he is focusing on arm training and not abdominal training.

[@TypicallyUniqueOfficial]

A lot of what he says doesn’t make sense.

[@troponinnutrition]

What specifically didn’t make sense?

[@asianmyth1716]

i think u r over playing this scale thing..no one in pre contest phase eat crap food to makes him hold 8LB of water...besides we always weight first thing in the morning empty stomach to get real weight.tracking weight is also important that it gives to control how much u want to loose each week.my personal experience is if pre contest phase bodybuilder loosing more than 1.5lb per week he will most definitely loose muscles. that will end up with slower metabolism as he progress towards the show makes fat loosing up hill task..also without tracking calories how the hell u can maintain target fat loose weekly..u r very smart guy but u r confusing people..both of these things r v v important in contest prep..also eating 1000g of carbs is bad idea.no one need to go to v v low carb diet to loose fat..where u need to carb up that high..it absolute nonsense..i will eat everything include sweets daily i mean daily within my calories limit and still loose fat..just drop few more calories due to shitty TEF of simple carbs.

[@cardiacarrest862]

Big fan of Justin and will follow him to any podcast but it was hard putting up with Ensima I can’t stand that guy.

[@artjomtamm7751]

the average man's muscles and liver contain about four to five hundred grams of glycogen, not eight hundred to one thousand..
