I distilled everything you need to do to have your best body and mind for summer into one practical program. I call it Sprints, Squats, and Steak. It is pretty nicely based around those three factors with some other helpful details added in. I used myself as the lab rat on this program and have followed it since the beginning of 2023. It is not a great program for an abject beginner. Still, if you've got experience and horsepowe...

Hugh Jackman is a beautiful man, and he has a beautiful body. He is five hundred years old and getting ready for Deadpool 3. Apparently, he's eating 8000 calories and training 3 hours a day. I have a real problem with this information, and I will tell you why in this episode.

I came across a young lady looking for a complete overhaul of air travel for "plus-sized" people. Her desires and ideas of being overweight really bothered me, and I devoted this entire episode to unpacking my feelings. I make it clear that I do not want to shame her individually but rather the overall idea of victimhood and entitlement.

Powders, pills, and potions make the fitness industry go around. If you know anything about my philosophy, you know that I am not a fan of supplements in general, and I think they're at the bottom of the fitness hierarchy. That being said, some supplements are definitely worth your money and can help you enhance your nutrition and training.

I put a lot of effort into this episode. I always try to put my best foot forward, but sometimes I can discuss fitness stuff on autopilot. I give a focused and thoughtful take on "Fat Activists" and body image issues in this episode. Plus, I fill you in on one of my life's most embarrassing and awkward moments. That is not at all exaggerated.

If you're confused about how to train, stay motivated, or get moving from the starting line, this is the episode for you. I turned 44 on the 15th of March, and in celebration, I talk about all the stuff I want to discuss, and then I button it with some of the things you want me to discuss. I go over optimal volume and frequency for training, the most helpful tips I've used over the years, and ways to stay sane when you start to dri...

I've been releasing a series of episodes regarding heavy-weight training, and I want to finish it with this episode that covers relevant details. Today I focus on alternative forms of progression that live outside the amount of weight and the number of repetitions. Weight and reps are the primary forms of progression, and today we discuss pauses, exaggerated range of motion, and prolonged negatives. These tactics can help you co...

I don't technically celebrate Lent anymore, but I was raised Catholic, which is part of my identity. I coincidentally arrived at a very confusing and painful point in my life, and I am using these 40 days and 40 nights to lock things down. I want, dare I say need, you to accompany me. I am a bit embarrassed by this episode, as I break down and cry, and it's not subtle. I start talking about something that I haven't talked about...

Chances are if you don't lift heavy weights, it's because you feel like it's not optimal for you. Chances are, it's the most necessary form of exercise to achieve your fitness goals. This considers that most people have a fat loss at the top of their fitness goals. So if you're tired of spinning your wheels and don't want skinny fat syndrome or perpetual flat butt, then absorb this episode and load up the plates!

I received a lovely collection of questions and tried to give lovely answers. We touch on fat loss programming, marriage proposals, Jim Wendler's 5/3/1 programming, sporks, "Boogie Nights," when to add weight to the bar, when to de-load, salami, and a whole lot more. It's a great episode, and I hope you like it.

You don't have to listen to episode 122 to get something out of this episode, but it would probably help. I continue to discuss building training programs and get more detail-oriented in this new episode. I touch on Sean Connery, Scarface, Exercise Selection, Volume/Intensity, and weekly structure. Plus, I rant about alpha vs. beta males.

What do I include, and what do I avoid doing? How much resistance training and how much cardio? Have you asked yourself these questions? Properly putting together a training split is simple, but it isn't easy. This episode is devoted to clearing up some of the understandable confusion. We discuss separating fat loss, hypertrophy, endurance, and skill development. Overtraining is an underlying theme.

I'm sure many of you are making New Year's resolutions, and a good percentage of those resolutions are based on your physique. There's nothing inherently wrong with this practice, but I do think it's shortsighted. The idealized view of yourself already exists and instead of looking for new ways to change yourself, look to find that enhanced person you're hiding inside of you.

Watching what you eat seems to become exponentially harder once Halloween hits, and that added pressure doesn't subside until the New Year. The holidays are festive. There will be more social gatherings, communal fun, and with it, reasons to stuff that face. I do not recommend abstaining from the increased culinary fun, but I also dislike the heightened shame cycle that can come with it. If you’ve spent nine months monitoring w...

Andy Petranek is a remarkable man. He is a United States Marine, the oldest CrossFit games qualifier, and a performance coach. He founded Crossfit LA in 2004, where I met him. He became one of the more positive influences on me at the time and since. Two weeks ago, after celebrating 20 years of sobriety, he sent me an incredibly touching message, which is why we decided to do this podcast. We dive into self-compassion, honesty...
