Ballistic Performance Radio

On this episode of BPR, Ash and I sit down to discuss the difference between commitment and expectation. This concept was shamelessly stolen from Nick Pags, and if you've never heard it before, it could potentially change your life.

We've been dying to share this with you for weeks!

⠀

Are we pregnant?

Are we moving?

Did we buy a house?

Did we get another dog?

Are we opening a brick and mortar location?

Has Ashley finally learned to shut the kitchen cabinets?

Has Derrick finally learned to share his food?

⠀

You'll have to listen to the episode to find out!

On this episode of BPR, Ash and I sit with Brett Eaton. Now, for those of you who don't know Brett and aren't familiar with his story, Brett is a life optimization coach, motivational speaker, and founder of the Better You Blueprint.

"Brett knows exactly how to get you from wishing, wanting, and waiting, to taking imperfect action, sticking to daily commitments, and finally feeling successful."  His mission is to help you cultivate a happier and healthier lifestyle through his positive messaging and knowledge on wellness, mindset, and daily habits.

On this episode of BPR, Derrick sits down to outline how your ego is holding you back. The conversation was inspired by a recent discussion with Nick Pags, the founder of Project Limitless and an all-around bad-ass, world-class mindset coach. In that call, Nick introduced us to the Four Survival Strategies of ego:

1. The need to be right
2. The need to look good
3. The need to be safe/comfortable
4. The need to be in control

Now, we assume that as you read through those strategies, at least one (if not all) resonated with you. As Nick introduced that concept, Derrick openly admitted that he identified with all four, and that's okay. However, the questions becomes, how do you check your ego? How do you prevent your ego from hijacking your life?

On this episode of BPR, Ash and I sit down with Marilyn and Connor to discuss all things relationships, bodybuilding, fitness, and pet peeves in the gym.

Now, Marilyn has been on the show before (Episode 79), so if you missed it, be sure to go back and check that out, but Connor is new to the show, and he is also Marilyn's fiancé!

We're incredibly excited to share this conversation with you, and if you want to learn more about Marilyn, Connor, or the Stronger Body Project, you can find them on Instagram:

On this episode of BPR, Ash and I bring you the unpopular truth on how long it takes to build muscle, gain strength, and increase power.

Regardless of what your favorite #fitspo claims on Instagram, there are no magic formulas, revolutionary training programs, or nutrition hacks that accelerate progress.

Building muscle, gaining strength, and increasing power requires discipline, consistency, and patience. It takes YEARS to develop those components of fitness, not months or weeks, and certainly not days.

We're here to explain EXACTLY why that's the case, and outline what you need to know as it relates to #GAINZ.

On this episode of BPR, Ash and I sit down to discuss all things protein and protein supplementation. We cover a ton of information throughout the conversation, including protein recommendations (quantity), types of protein powder, and BCAAs. Plus, we provide the answer to the burning question - are protein and BCAA powders worth the money?

Sit back, relax, and enjoy the episode!

Thanks for tuning in!

On this episode of BPR, Ash and I sit down with Sara Hayes.

Sara is the Founder and Head Coach of Mindful Miles Running, and she is on a mission to help all bodies start and stay running.

Mindful Miles is so much more than running. The program is designed to help you find that "HELL YEAH" feeling within yourself, and learn to stop comparing yourself to others who are "better than" or further along in their journey.

We cover a TON of topics in this episode including:

• Placing your identity in fitness
• Type A personalities and fitness
• Trackers, metrics, and data
• Movement as mediation

Our Favorite Things!

Unfortunately, we're not like Oprah - we can't give you all of our favorites for free (am I the only one that remembers their Mom watching that episode of Oprah every year?!), but we are going to rattle them off for you, and hopefully teach you a thing or two about us that you didn't already know.

We cover all things fitness, nutrition, relationships, pop culture, and even our favorite memories from high school and college.

This is a fun and lighthearted episode, and a much needed change of pace from the interviews and serious conversations. So, without further ado, sit back, relax, and enjoy the episode.
