You and I are going to drink a lot of coffee together. Like, borderline dangerous amounts of coffee.

So, first things first. Pour yourself a mug and I’ll introduce myself real quick.

My name’s Jordan — but everyone calls me “J” — and I’m a 27th degree black belt in chugging coffee.

I’m also strength & nutrition coach, I hold several powerlifting world records, and I’ve been fortunate enough to have my writing featured in a variety of outlets like CNN, the Huffington Post, and Schwarzenegger.com.

But listen.

This channel isn’t for fame, publicity, cash, props, fist bumps, likes, pings, pows or whatever else there is.

It’s a place where you and I can chat.

I’ll never sugar coat, lie, or beat around the bush. I’ll tell you everything exactly as I see it. Some stuff you might like. Others you might not.

And that’s totally cool.

Either way, my goal here is to create a discussion. A place where you and I can get together, exchange ideas, and motivate each other to be better every day.

Like I said, we’re gonna drink a lot of coffee together — borderline dangerous amounts — but I’m excited. Because there aren’t too many online communities in which the sole purpose is to inspire and motivate one another.

And that’s exactly what you and I are going to do here.

To your success,

-J

  1. I like this approach, but I wholeheartedly disagree with not giving SOME kind of formula, so thank you for doing that! My problem is that on a weekly basis, I can’t go 100% of the time in deficit. So I take break DAYS not weeks, but I’m struggling with not binging on those days. So I’m looking for how to eat at maintenance on those 20% of days instead of overeating on those days. Thank you!

  2. @jordansyatt so if you are ready to go to maintenance phase, do you just jump to maintenance calories or do you do it like reverse dieting by adding extra calories a week. I ask because if you decide to only do a month of maintenance, it would take almost a month of reverse dieting to reach maintenance calories

  3. My diet Calories is 1900 on your calculator and if I add the 300 calories that takes me to 2200 and I've alwayss been told that would be eating to gain weight I've always been told 2000 is maintenance can someone explain is this right or wrong to eat 2200 to maintain

  4. I have found that when I track macros to the T Monday-Friday and eat maintenance on the weekends it has really sped up additional fat loss. It has really helped me mentally and allows me to enjoy my family better during my leisure days.

  5. This is so sad! You probably have some good things to say, but I am so turned off by your foul language that you seem to not be able to eliminate in your delivery. You should probably take some English lessons and learn decent words to replace all that obscenity that you’re usingbecause it’s like an electric shock to my brain listening to you. I’m sorry I would not subscribe and I cannot listen to this.

  6. I've started attempting ed recovery by planning to first reach maintenance calories. I was literally terrified as the scale jumped from 44kg to 46kg in a week, now it kind of makes sense that most of that extra 2kg is just glycogen and water weight which my body was probably just very deficient in. Panic over, I did not gain 2kg at 1300 calories!

  7. Hi this video is really helping me. The gym was a safe place for me for a long time but it became lowkey working off all of the calories I’d eaten in the day and I dropped weight really quick way to fast. I am not at a place I need to lose weight where I am but it felt good to lose the weight. Now I’m trying to find my calorie maintenance to just take care of myself and be able to continue to working out. This video has really helped

  8. Jordan!!! Your videos are amazing. Please do a video on bulking, surplus calorie calculator? I’ve followed your macro equations to lose fat and I’ve lost 10 lbs. satisfied and ready for the next goal which is to build muscle!

  9. The fear of gaining in the maintainance phase after loosing 118lbs thru weight loss surgery has my anxiety thru the ROOF! Listen I hear you and know that this is all in my head but that does not take away the fear and the guilt that comes after eating more and feeling like a failure to myself after eating the extra calories.. Thank you. I follow you and feel like you explain yourself quite well..

  10. I was in maintenance calories for my weight for months and never lost anything just stayed the same weight for months hence why I’ve gone lower with my calories, I’m just wondering once I get to my goal is it best to slowly gain up calorie intake again
