Hey there team!

James Cerbie here.

I hope you've had a fantastic weekend and are gearing up for a beautiful week.

I just wanted to jump in real quick and let you know that myself and the team here at Rebel Performance are going to be hitting pause on the podcast and social media content production for a few weeks.

We are doing this so that myself and the rest of the team at Rebel Performance can exhale, spend more time with their family and friends, and recharge the batteries a bit.

This does not mean our coaching program is slowing down in anyway. In fact, it means the opposite because we will be devoting 100% of our effort and attention to continue helping our clients transform their physique, unlock deep health and level up their performance.

If you're interested in learning more about working with us, you can do that at our website www.rebel-performance.com

And then if you want to keep getting content from us while we hit pause on the podcast and social media you can do that by:

Joining our newsletter because we will still be sharing 2-3 targeted, high value emails per week to help you dominate with your training, nutrition, lifestyle and mindset

We have over 2 years worth of podcast episodes recorded, so feel free to scroll back through our backlog and give those episodes a listen. I think you'll find them highly valuable.

Otherwise, thank you so much for tuning in and supporting Rebel Performance.

We will be back with fresh content for the podcast and social media in a few weeks.

In the meantime, I hope you can also find more space and freedom to spend with your loved ones over the coming weeks and months.

Is finding a 1-rep max worth it?

While the 1-rep max has a storied history in strength sports, we are here to argue against it.

The 1-rep max can make sense in very specific use cases, but for the vast majority of people, it will not be an efficient or wise usage of their time.

On the episode today we break down why that is, and more importantly, what we recommend doing instead if your goal is to optimize your physique, performance AND health.

Here’s a bit of what you can expect to learn:

• What is a 1-rep max testing?
• Why would you use a 1-rep max in training?
• What are the major drawbacks to testing a 1-rep max?
• Why are 3-6 rep maxes a better option?
• And much, much more

Are you looking to fast track your physique and performance?

If so, then carb cycling may be a great nutritional strategy for you.

Personally, it’s what I’ve had the most success with and it’s worked like magic for many of our clients here at Rebel.

What I love about the carb cycling strategy is that it creates an appropriate physiological match between your input (food coming in) and your output (energy you expend).

The downside though is that I see many people who 1) still have no idea what carb cycling is 2) don’t know how it works and 3) don’t know how to implement it successfully in real life…

Which is why on the podcast today we are going to break down carb cycling for you.

Here’s a small taste of what you can expect to learn

1. What is carb cycling?
2. What’s the difference between carbs and fats as a fuel source?
3. Why do you want more carbs and less fat when you train?
4. Why do you want more fat and less carbs when you take a day off?
5. How and why does carb cycling work?
6. How to use carbs to power your performance and fats to get lean
7. How to implement carb cycling in your life
8. And much, much more…
