   #Quah question #1 - Why am I so sore sometimes and not others? Even with a comparable workout? (56:41)
   #Quah question #2 - I have a massive imbalance in my hips. In the past, I've hurt my back and right hip several times no matter how I train it seems to always come back.

1 of the absolute best foods you can eat for muscle, athletic performance, recovery, strength is beef.

Almost no other food out there matches beef in terms of its key nutrients, how easily you assimilate them, protein, creatine.

It's quite possibly close to the perfect food for athletes.

So if you're looking to build muscle and strength and improve athletic performance, beef, it's a good thing

So a rib eye steak covers every essential vitamin, nutrient that we could potentially need.

I mean, okay, now I'm not advocating that you just eat beef.

You could, that doesn't mean you should, but my point with this is that if you're looking at like key nutrients that people tend to lack or tend to find, or nutrients that we tend to be deficient in that cause things like weakness or low energy.

And grass-fed meat has a great fatty acid profile because 1 of the criticisms of beef is, oh, it's so high in saturated fat, so high in these omega fatty acids that are inflammatory.

Conventional beef can be that way, but grass-fed beef has a way better omega 3, omega, omega 6 fatty acid profile.

So it's, it's more of a protein food when you compare like fatty cuts, but yeah, like If you want to get your B vitamins up in your iron and zinc and other things like that, like beef not only contains those things, but it contains very bioavailable forms of them.

Because you can get iron from plant sources.

You don't absorb it nearly as well, not even close.

Like if you have like an iron deficiency or, you know, like go eat some beef.

It's 1 of the easiest ways to bring it up.

And then you get your, um, organ meat, which is, you take a whole nother level to that in terms of condensed nutrients and minerals and, you know, through liver and, uh, everything else like organ meat wise, you can't heart and whatnot.

Organ meat's so high, you have to be careful not

You know what's weird about organ meat is that if you eat an organ, it contains the amount, that contains the nutrients that your organ that corresponds to it need quite a bit of.

For, you know that was his big thing, right?

Yeah, no, that was like, so his big thing where he was traveling around all over the place and talking about how he eats like every organ, everything from balls, heart, everything like that is that the nutrients from that, from balls goes to better testosterone production.

Okay, so like heart, your heart requires a lot of a nutrient called CoQ10.

Eating heart, it means you're gonna get a lot of CoQ10 because heart tissue contains lots of CoQ10.

Not advocating eating brains, I think that's probably 1 of the more dangerous organs.

The human brain is very high in cholesterol So there's some truth in that now he went too far.

Yeah, I don't think eating a lot of balls is gonna give you Yeah bigger balls

But you know, when it comes to, when it comes to, uh, to, to like foods that are like anabolic and you know, okay, now to be clear, your diet is varied.

So, uh, you know, that's, that's clear, but if you have to pick 1 food that really meets lots of these needs, and that could be labeled as anabolic, pro-strength.

Strength athletes have known this for years.

Beef, eggs, those 2 foods right there will give you quite a bit.

Well, they'll eat the same exact diet, same macros and everything, And then they'll include more beef versus chicken or fish.

Even too, I've heard people kind of bring up the fact that, you know, around the world, like people that are in third world countries, Like their whole value system is in their livestock, in their animals that they raise up.

And to have this blanket statement that beef is bad for you, like what are you doing to everybody else around the world that like survives offices.

But again, grass fed beef is better if you eat a lot of beef.

Like if you eat, like I do, I'll eat, I eat on average, probably half a pound to a pound of beef on most days.

The it's the primary source of a whole food protein that I get.

I go grass-fed because at that level, the fatty acid profile makes a difference.

Now, if you eat beef here and there, doesn't make that big of a difference, but if you eat it as often as I do, Like my butcher box that I get every month like that's I would say 80% of the beef that I is comes from butcher boxes grass-fed.

mean, we've always had our role has been and I've talked about it more than once on the show So Some people are probably tired of hearing it, but it's just when I'm home, we cook with the butcher box meat And so that's my way of getting because the truth is like you'll never beat a grain fed fucking steak, dude A grain fed fatty steak.

Yeah, it's just a different level of like super palatable.

I mean, just so palatable, the amount of fat that's in that steak.

So when we eat out at a restaurant, I ate out at a restaurant the other day, I'll order a grain-fed type of steak.

But then when I'm home, which I'm eating home 80% to 90% of the time, I'm going to make a grass-fed choice.

And I think the best part about ButcherBox is that they have found a way, in my opinion, to make some of the best-tasting meat that is grass-fed, because in the past, I was just turned off by grass-fed meat.

It was so different that it was like, oh, I didn't like

the best from them The 1 that I can almost that I must not tell

I'll do I'll do a little bit of the pork chop, but what was the other 1 that I got into recently from them, but I mean, I have done the chicken nuggets, which was like a find, you know, from them for the kids and stuff and for me.

I steal it from the kids, but I make it for the kids and I eat it myself.

You still both haven't had the skillet yet.

I wish you guys would hurry up and get that done, because we can see you talk

I mean, I continue to get introduced to things that they have that are amazing.

I told you, you got Katrina to order the pork.

And she did the whole slice the middle of it and put, I forget what she put in the middle of it.

Yeah, she cuts it open, then she puts cheese and ham.

Yeah, cheese and ham inside the middle of the pork tenderloin or whatever.

Yeah, and then she puts something else with it.

She found some crazy recipe and served it up to me 1 night.

I don't think I've had a schnitzel before.

what I had last night was a hush puppy What's in a hush puppy

what a hush puppy, isn't that, that's a southern food, right?

Hush puppies are made of cornmeal batter with like garlic powder on it.

I mean, I only had 1, because I just wanted to taste it, because the table ordered it, and I'm like, that sounds kind of good.

Did you dip it in anything, or you like that?

It comes with a butter, just you wipe it on the butter or whatever, and then it had like a jalapeno mix inside of it too.

I mean, I could see myself wanting to eat a bunch of them, but I knew better.

As soon as I bit into it, I'm like, oh, this is like
