Do you want to pack on some muscle?

Can it be done with my Panda Diet?  Isn't that counterintuitive?

To the average minded fake fitness expert, yes, it seems impossible.  

But, I assure you, it's not impossible.  

Today, I go over my best practices for putting on muscle and the levers you need to pull in order to get your body to adapt by coming back bigger, stronger and faster.  

There's a lot of gold in this episode, take a listen and let me know any questions.

In today's episode, I pull an old notebook off the shelf.  It is full of cursive handwriting and  contains a lot of my notes on Mind Mapping.  

If you are interested in what Mind Mapping is and the thought behind it, then this is a must listen.  

No, it's not drawing bubbles on paper...a lot of people mistakenly think the Mind Mapping that I talk about is like the old 'brainstorming' when I was in school and having to map out my writing project.  

That type of stuff is very useful for clarity but it is not Mind Mapping.  

And if you are interested in Mind Mapping, then you'll love these 3 foundational Mind Map principles that I go over in this episode and how they show up in your LIFE.  

If you like this, plese leave me a positive review and share the episode!

5 Secrets from My Upcoming Panda Diet Master Class

Someone asked me earlier where they can located research as to what I teach and how it work.  Short answer is my book, the Panda Diet. 

But if you are the type that wants peer reviewed, industry research, then you aren't going to find it in my work.  Not because I make up stuff, but because they haven't studied what I teach.  It simply doesn't exist because it doesn't fit inside their little box or propoganda. 

What I do works, plain and simple, way better than any little diet that the FFEs teach (fake fitness experts). 

I've got an upcoming Super Webinar all about the Panda Diet...

And it's jam packed with secrets I've compiled and discovered over the past 27 years in the deep weeds and trenches.  

Anyhow, in this short episode, I share 5 of my secrets with some context.  

And, if you are interested in grabbing one of the remaining seats, you can do so here: Panda Diet Master Class

25 years or so ago, Amy Fiedler became friends with my wife Devon.  

Nowadays, they are the best of friends...

Which means that I get the benefit of getting to talk with Amy and pick her brain on a regular basis.  

Amy is a world-class Life Coach and as you will hear in this episode, her passion for Coaching grew out of a need to help herself.  

Amy's ability to ask the right questions at the right time are unparalleled.  

In this episode, you will learn about:

-The Ultimate morning routines

-What questions world-class Coaches aske themselves on a regular basis

-How bringing an open and non-judgmental mind to each situation will lead to unbelievable growth and insight

There's so much more too...

This might be the best episode that I've ever recorded, so get your notepads ready and enjoy the show! 

Over the past decade, a strange harmony has merged into my life.  

Much of what I teach and practice has strong roots in Indian culture. 

I did not pick this stuff up such as my Panda fasting, urine therapy, cold immersion, transcendental meditation through studying their culture….

It simply comes to me in the form of inspiration, I then apply it right away to my own life and then I teach it if its working for me.  

In today's podcast, I go deeper into how I came up with the unconventional Panda Method that I teach.  

Remember, you can either follow the herd, or not.  The choice is yours and there is no right or wrong…

What is your spirit telling you to do?

A Man Without a Plan is a Man with a Plan to Fail

Back in 2014, I was in a slump for a few months.  

I couldn't quite put my finger on why.  

Luckily, Vince, who's been my Coach since 2012, was able to ask me a few key questions on one of our calls to get to the bottom of it.  

It turned out, it was a simple fix.

I had, for some dumb reason, stopped planning my days out the night prior.  

Which left me feeling aimless and without purpose.  

I got back on my daily planning and the 'fog' lifted.  

In today's episode of Unlocking Your Inner Strength, I go into depth about how to use the Newell Strength planner and the brain science behind it.  

I had a concerned friend and client reach out to me while on vacation.  

He wanted to know why I was on social media so much on a vacation.  

Admittedly, that's not what I normally do.  

In today's episode, I explain why that was the case and why your dreams are fleeting, you have to hunt them down when the inspiration strikes.

Last weekend, I had to tell an old buddy a hard truth.  

Most people don't like to listen to the hard truth, but, all progress starts with the truth.  

As we dive into part 2 for the Battle for Your Mind, I discuss: discipline, simple vs. easy, your body as a reflection as to what is going on in your mind and the power of having a Coach.  

Put the stuff from last episode and this episode to use and if you liked it, share it with someone that needs to hear it. 

This past weekend, we went skiing at Blue Mountain.  

Devon grew up skiing, I did not.  

She already has our kids whipping around the mountains, so I know that if I want to be a part of that as we grow older, I need to learn.  

Now, for me, that involves quite a bit of fear.  

In the latest episode of ULYIS, I discuss: self-doubt, self-talk, dealing with death at a very early age and physical vs. psychotic pain.  

I use the physical pain to access my psychotic pain as a chance to work the all important muscle known as the mind.  

Two weeks ago I had my quarterly Mastermind meeting with my CEO group.  

And that very same week, I joined a new mastermind program online.  

I am a magnet for knowledge.  

Why?  

So I can improve and share.  

You see, I learn by teaching.  I grow by learning.  I grow by teaching.  

I am always seeking knowledge.  

In today's episode of Unlocking Inner Your Inner Strength, I share with you 3 concepts that you can use to sharpen and strengthen your mind.  

Remember, it all comes down to your mind.

P.S.- For my free fasting manual and 'Lost Secrets of Fasting' audio you can go to www.kylenewell.com/manual. 

A few weeks ago, my old buddy, Carl Sanfilippo, came by for an early morning workout followed by an episode on the podcast in our new studio.  

It has been amazing to watch Carl grow and become super successful.  

So naturally, our conversation was largely about success and how he runs his companies and his life.  

I highly recommend that you take a listen and absorb what he has to say about confidence and consistency, with a little clarity mixed in.

A few weeks ago, Devon had a tough love conversation with me.  

She was challenging me on some of my limiting beliefs.  

And my inner wimp was squirming inside my head, I wanted to exit that conversation pronto.  

But she persisted…

And I had a breakthrough.  

Stop avoiding your shortcomings.  Stop just thinking about what you want to do.  

Do it. 

Your life is a direct reflection of your choices and actions up to this point.  

No one else is to blame.

Yesterday, I ran in the Princeton Half Marathon. 

Admittedly, I probably should have trained more for it. 

I hit a wall around mile 10 and yes, I know my build isn't ideal for distance running. 

At my first 'dark valley', I spotted Devon with the kids and my mom! I wasn't expecting her to be there. 

It gave me a boost to get through the next 2 miles, at which point, the wheels came off a little bit.  Ha!  My legs were giving out, cramping pretty severely. 

I called Devon as I sat in the middle of the road, trying to get my right leg to unlock.  I heard her say to my mom, 'I knew it!  He's cramping!  Boys, go help dad…'

Could it be that they were right around the corner? 

Indeed they were. 

My mom, Brad and Colty, appeared and they ran the last half mile with me, willing me on and cheering me on. 

The boys kept saying, 'Dad, don't stop.'

It was a beautiful moment and one that I will never forget. 

As we crossed the finish line, the boys walked with me to get our medal.  🏅

I then embraced my mom and unexpectedly, she embraced me for about 2 minutes while tears of happiness ran down my face.  ❤️

I couldn't have scripted it any better. 

Remember, it's always darkest just before dawn…

3 Exercises For Massive Leg Growth

I remember back in high school basketball, when I really began pushing myself and studying how to maximize my potential, I was willing to do stuff that other kids simply wouldn't do.  

One of the most feared things every year at tryouts, the day after Thanksgiving, was when Coach would have us run an endless amount of suicides.  

He was weeding out the weak.  

There were puke buckets on the sides.  

So, I ran suicides for months leading up to tryouts my junior year.  

Let's just say that tryouts were relatively easy for me, while I got to watch in amusement as the others were dying in their suicides.  

I practiced tough, which made the 'real life' easy. 

This is what you want to do with your everyday living.  

In today's episode, I discuss 4 simple ideas that you can incorporate every day to 'steel' your mind.  

When I first began competing in bodybuilding back in 2004, I thought I knew a lot. 

For my first few contests, I was able to tough it out.  

Extreme will power and determination.  

But, as you may or may not know, you cannot form a lifestyle out of pure willpower.

Once it really clicked with me that it's all mental, it became so much easier to life fully in my fitness and fasting focused lifestyle.  

Yes, there is discipline day in and day out, but I enjoy what I am doing.  

I need to be ready at any moment to take care of my family.  

Being a Ripped Dad is about being ready to: save your own life, save someone else's life or being able to kick someone's a** when needed.  

It all starts in the mind.  

In 2014, we ran our very first Ripped Dads contest.  

I remember at that time being so pumped to watch the transformations happen and that we had such a niche program.  

Well, over the past 8 years, I have grown to love this contest since I am now a father of 3 that knows the struggles of fatherhood and I have seen the impact we can have on dads.  

Secondly, I have also come to realize over the years that it's all in the head.  

Your mindset is everything….EVERYTHING!

In the latest episode of ULYIS, I discuss 3 things every dad can do, right away, to take their life, relationships and career to the next level.  

Any surprise that the first thing I mention has to do with the mind????

How Will We Impact 1,000,000 People

A few weeks ago, I was refining our 1 year vision for Newell Strength and I had written one of the things as, 'To impact over 5,000 local lives'.  

The only problem was….it didn't excite me.  And if it didn't excite me, you can be sure that my team was probably not excited.  

So, I sat there one night and thought about it and BAM!  

The 1 year vision in that realm was to impact over 1,000,000 lives around the world.  

Now, this might sound impossible, but it's not.  

With that thing called the Web and our strategies for social media, it might actually be too low.  

But, when Evan, our Marketing Director, asked me during a recent brainstorming session, 'What is the impact?  How will we improve over 1,000,000 lives?'  

I didn't hesitate in my response….

MINDSET.  

That's my thing, and that's what I am going all in on.

Even the Panda is a function of mindset and Mind Map.  

In today's episode, I drop 3 critical traits for mindset that you can start implementing right away.  

Many, many years ago, I discovered a man named Elliott Hulse.  Elliott is somewhat of a legend and he even Coached me for a while back in 2010.  

As destiny would have it, he came onto my podcast last week and boy, let me tell you, this is going to blow your mind.  

Elliott has lived quite the life and has been a pioneer in the field of self-development for quite some time.  

He has over 2 million followers on social media and this conversation is one that I could charge a lot of money that people would happily pay.  

You can follow Elliott on YouTube and see all that he's got going on at elliotthulse1.

I have been studying success for a long time.  

And while success is a personal thing, based on your own definition of success, we can still find clues from those we view as successful.  

I have been fortunate enough to have some great Mentors and Coaches in my life. 

In today's episode, I share with you the top 5 things that I have learned that have helped me including: time management, reading, tough workouts, association and mindset. 

Enjoy!

Two weeks ago, I was interviewed on the Michael Becker show and the main topic was leadership.  

It seems to be a common thing that people are interested in, so I thought I'd make a podcast for you, about my views on leadership.  

Remember, it starts and ends with you as a leader.  

Standing up in the face of fear is easy when you have values that you live by.  

And making decisions is much easier when you have rock solid, foundational values.  

Take a listen and let me know what you think!

I have been blessed with the ability to help people achieve what they didn't think they could achieve.  

And they were right, they couldn't achieve it YET, on their own.  They just had to be shown the path.

A big part of how I have been able to do this is through physical fitness.  It's a doorway into the psyche of a person.  

In today's episode, I cover my KISS training principles, including:

-Train the hip and grip and all will be good

-Train your upper back, a lot

-Train at or near your anaerobic threshold 

-Challenge yourself

-The 5 basic movements

Keep it stupid simple (I know, this is my own twist on the KISS acronym).  

Enjoy and let me know your questions! 

In today's episode, I discuss how my Panda Fasting helps in these areas:

-Weight loss

-Simplicity

-Reduced inflammation

-Autophagy

-Hormones

-Detoxification

-Brain Health

and...gaining more time.  

I hope you learn something and put it to use.  Enjoy! 

2 days ago, the first ever Muscle Camp at Newell Strength began.  

It's a 6 week program, designed to put on 3-6 pounds of muscle.  

That may not sound like a lot, but I assure you, it is.  

If you missed out on this round, don't worry, we will do it again at some point and the 12 specific workouts will be put into a manual that you can purchase.  

I had quite a few 'ceremonies' to initiate myself into my 5th decade of life.  

It began with a nice trip into my mind and spirit overnight.

Then, I put my body to the test on 4 hours of sleep, fasted for 72 hours, blood donated the night before and the list goes on.  

It was an initiation, a breaking down of barriers, killing of my 40 year old self if you will.

Consider creating some ceremonies for your next birthday and an initiation process into that year of your life. 

I hope you enjoy the episode!

10 days or so ago, we took the time on a Sunday, later afternoon, to come up with our Family Core Values.  

It wasn't something we necessarily wanted to do, but we really needed to do them.  

Sure, it would have been nice to procrastinate, but then we would still have the same emotions rising up.  

In today's episode, I share with you our Core Values, but more importantly I explain the importance of having Core Values and knowing your own personal definitions in life.  

The BIG Four-1

41 years ago today, I was born.  

August 10th, at 10:10 AM.  

And I have to tell you, that this is by far the best I have ever felt in my life.  

I am not just saying that.  

The funny thing is, I have multiple people every week asking me what I have been doing differently.  

I tell them, not much, besides finally 'getting it'.  Something clicked and now I have been propelled to another level of health and fitness.  

How my body looks is just a side effect. 

Remember, it all starts by making a decision.  

3 years ago, Emma was born.  

Yes, our little warrior princess is growing up fast!

3 years and 10 months ago, I figured out a loophole in  supplementing with testosterone.  

You see, I have always been a practitioner of direct knowledge, mainly through self-experimentation.  

And one of the areas of expertise that I have developed this in is in testosterone replacement therapy.  

As I've gotten back into the training aspect at Newell Strength, I have really been enjoying listening to and thinking about the philosophy of some of the bodybuilding greats.  

Men that have inspired me and that have played a huge role in my development.  

Socrates has a quote that resonated with what I have been thinking alot about lately, 'No man has the right to be an amateur in the matter of physical training.  It is a shame for a man to grow old without seeing the beauty and strength of which his body is capable.'  

You shape your mind through your body.  

Your body is the temple, treat it as such and watch how your philosophy of life changes.  

Here are some great clips with some of the characters I mentioned in the episode:

Mike Mentzer- https://youtu.be/WBVaSNYNGkY

Lee Haney- https://youtu.be/aAcWOy7E1uk

Dorian Yates- https://youtu.be/hR4JL1AN0e8

Arnold- https://youtu.be/u_ktRTWMX3M

The time has come.  Election day 2024 is upon us.  

If you are expecting a result tomorrow, you are going to be disappointed.  

I believe this is a kick start for the chaos I have been predicting for a number of years now.  

Realize that this is a not a left v right fight, that's what the powers that be want you to buy into.  

Listen in for my predictions about what will happen in the short term and what will happen over the next 6 months.  

I may be wrong, but I don't think so.  

At least my thoughts will make you think.  

Be Unconventional,

Kyle aka Panda Man

On the way home from Italy, I was able to read an entire book, 'Yes to Life', which had a few golden nuggets in it.  

In today's episode, I talk about:

-happiness

-fulfillment in life

-the purpose of life (it's not set in stone)

And much more.  

Don't say no to life when it gets tough, accept it as part of your journey.  

Enjoy the episode!

Way back in the years of 1995-1998, I was developing the foundation for the Newell Strength training principles.  

As time has gone on, some of the stuff has become a little more popular with the masses, but much is still unique.  

Some of the principles in today's episode include:

-Training at or near an anaerobic and anabolic threshold

-Movement first, then strength

-A game of angles

-The mind muscle connection

-Grip and mental toughness training

And more.  Take a listen and share with a friend! 

It was very fitting that I would be finishing up my 30-day squat challenge while in Italy.

And, it turned out that I actually finished on the night of my brother's wedding, on the dance floor, with about 5 other people joining in.

In the latest episode of Unlocking Your Inner Strength, I discuss the Italian's key to health, what I did for my own personal fitness while traveling abroad and the wild life that the 30-day squat challenge wound up taking on. 

Your state of mind determines your reality.  

Yet, most people get stuck in a bad state of mind.  

It's almost as if they feel they have no control over their thoughts.

And if you have no control over your thoughts, you'll have no control over your feelings.  

That's when life can become a very slippery slope.  

In today's episode of Unlocking Your Inner Strength, I share with you 5 things you can do that can help you feel in control again and nearly always be the master of your mind. 

Principles are few, methods are many.  Here is my Mt. Rushmore of fitness principles that I feel are the most important to focus on to stay young, strong and powerful.  

On May 20th, we had our 2 year anniversary of opening up successfully in the midst of Covid, against the Governor's wishes.  

It came out better than anyone could have anticipated.  

We lived by our principles and values in that moment and it paid off.  

When you lead with the goodness of your heart, you can  never go wrong.  

Here is a recap of that story, two years later.  

I went for a 2 mile run this weekend.  

Last year, I dabbled a bit more with running and I am glad I did.  

While I don't have any aspirations at this moment for doing any competitive running, my run this past weekend made me think about standards for training.  

In today's episode, I cover things that I think you should be able to do and/or work towards when survival is the name of the game.  

Using survival as a frame of reference puts fitness and strength into perspective.  

Take a listen and enjoy!

It was and is my passion.  

It is also my profession, that of being a Coach.

Heading into this year, I developed a strategy, along with Devon, to get it to where I know it can be.  

I knew that ultimately, it all falls on me, I take responsibility and ownership.  

In today's episode, I share with you why now, my role and what this means for Newell Strength.  

When I first began training, way back in high school, I quickly realized that what I was doing in the gym and with my nutrition was much different than what the norm was.  

Maybe it's because I was willing to do things outside the box, but I soon found out that I was on the correct path and using something I call 'reality math' has always allowed me to stay about 5 years ahead of the curve.  

Sorry if that sounds braggadocious, but it's true. 

In today's episode, I breakdown 6 myths that, once known, will probably save you a lot of time and frustration.  

I remember as a kid when Freddy Kreuger captured my mind.  

I was terrified yet fascinated.  

As time went on, my brothers and our neighborhood gang would fantisize about who would win a battle, Freddy or Jason (from Friday the 13th).  

A couple of decades later, they came out with the movie.  

In today's episode, I give you my top horror movies, top horror characters and some Mind Mapping of how and why Halloween became a staple in my house.

3 years ago, I dove into longer form fasting, after doing a 16-20 hour fast for the prior 5 years.  

But just like 2019, I knew there was something more to be learned and explored, which is the feeling I've been hearing God whisper into my ear quite frequently.  

That's part of the  inspiration that some people have heard me talk about when I talk about developing Indigo Panda.  

Anyhow, I am diving back into my 72's, which I still was doing every few months, some dry fasting, and some other fasting experiments I am kicking around right now.  

For me, it's mainly a spiritual quest this time around.  

Have you ever had one of those moments in life when your mind expands on the spot.  

And you're conscious of it?  

If you're aware of your thoughts, and this happens to you, you remember it forever.

For me, one of those moments was when I had the chance to compete against Tim Martin back in 2007 and later become friends with him.

Tim expanded my mind into what was possible physically.  

In this episode of Unlocking Your Inner Strength, I am fortunate enough to get an inside peak into a champion's mindset.  It's worth gold, take a listen….

I was fortunate enough to interview my longtime mentor and the creator of Mind Map, Dax Moy, a few weeks ago.  

If you've ever wondered about the origins of Mind Map or what the thought process was behind it, then  you are going to want to take a listen.  

In this episode of Unlocking Your Inner Strength, Dax shares some knowledge about the NEED for creating Mind Mapping, what Bio Map and Body Map are and how the brain and nervous system are always trying to tell us something.  

When we just continue to use the same approach of grind, go harder, push through, then we will lose that battle every time.  

Take a listen and enjoy!
