Matt and Dr. David Puder discuss how barbell training can improve mental health and assist those combating depression and other psychological struggles.

Rebroadcast from Dr. Puder's podcast Psychiatry and Psychotherapy.

Guest hosts: Jonathan Sullivan and Noah Hayden with Jaime Collins

You're an athlete. You're not a victim. You're not a patient. You're training. You're changing your habits, you're owning your health and fitness, you're putting in work and getting better. You know why you're training. You're an athlete, and you have an athlete's mindset and approach.

Beyond the athletic mindset, there is a confidence that comes from lifting rituals: number of breaths, which leg you step forward with, unracking and racking the bar. Take decision-making and your brain out of it--beyond the one cue you keep in mind to help make the lift.

Guest hosts: Jonathan Sullivan and Noah Hayden with Debbie Wrotslavsky

Dr. Sullivan, Noah, and Debbie discuss how she came to Greysteel and how it differed from her previous fitness experiences. Her friends noticed her improved posture and she felt better throughout the day.

They discuss, first and foremost, how training females and males is mostly the same. Certain patterns and choices seem to work better--on average--for females over males. Females tend to respond better to triples than fives, whereas fives seem to work better for males, especially on lower body lifts. Despite fears from some that lifting heavy weights will contribute to a bulky look, females look and feel better after some time lifting heavy weights. Female masters, however, beyond appearance, benefit from strength training and the resultant muscle mass and stronger bones more than any other group.
