Nick Bare Reveals How To Get Jacked & Run Sub-3 Marathons ft. Sahil Bloom

**Sam Parr** (0:00)
All right, everyone, what's happening? This is Sam. So on today's pod, I did something very selfish. So I've got these two friends. One is named Nick Bare. So you probably have seen Nick on Instagram or on YouTube. He's got millions of followers, and he owns this company called BPN, Bare Performance Nutrition. They do something like $60 million a year in sales. So he's a really successful entrepreneur, but he's like a fitness fanatic. So he looks like a bodybuilder, but he's run some marathon in like two hours and 39 minutes, which is a freakish time, but it's also freakish considering how big he is. And then we have Sahil Bloom who's another buddy of mine. He's really popular on social media, on Twitter. He's a writer. You probably have seen him all over the place.
And I just nerded out on fitness with these guys. We also talked a little bit about business. So we asked the typical questions like, where do you guys spend your money? How much do you spend each month? Where do you like to invest your money?
We talked about their companies and how they're growing. And we did a lot of business stuff, but most of this was about fitness. And I just asked them all the fitness questions that I had. I had a bunch of listeners send me questions and I think it was a great time and it was really fun to learn about what these guys are doing for training. Hopefully, it will inspire you. So anyway, check out the pod.
So I tweeted out that you guys were coming on and I got a bunch of questions. They range from personal finance, fitness, business, all types of stuff. I want to ask you guys both a couple of questions. I'm going to start with one that sounds like the hardest, but I actually think it's the easiest because you answer this all the time.
And I'll preface this by saying, I've seen your father in videos. I've seen your brother in videos and I've seen you in real life. And so I think I know what the answer is because I know the genetics that you come from. But someone said, generally curious, how can Nick be natural given his performance?
Please press him on this.
And so you constantly get asked if you're natural. I know you've answered it constantly, but just humor me for because this was a very, a lot of people ask this question.

All right, I want to take a quick break to tell you about HubSpot, our sponsor who makes the show possible.

**Nick Bare** (2:44)
I am natural. And I used to address these call outs and questions and claims all the time because I would get defensive in it. It was all the time. It's been like that since I started creating content.
I even went to the extent of sharing blood work every month. I was going in blood work every month and I would share it on my videos during my bulk and my cut.
And people like, oh, he's faking it. He's finding workarounds. I'm like, guys. So I finally have gotten to a point where I'm just over-addressing the questions and the claims and the hate around it. And I'm just gonna do my thing. Like even in this last marathon, people were like, he's using EPO.

**Sahil Bloom** (3:29)
What is that?

**Nick Bare** (3:30)
Like blood doping. I'm like, what amateur athlete you know that's running marathons, run marathons is taking EPO and blood doping?

**Sam Parr** (3:39)
But then you're like, how do I get that? Does anyone have a guy?

**Nick Bare** (3:43)
Yeah, I'm like, where do you get EPO?

**Sam Parr** (3:45)
I don't even know where you'd get that.
I mean, I've seen you in real life. You just have, I think you're just a freak genetically. And I would be honored if someone asked if I was on a bunch of stuff. That would make me feel wonderful.
