Bulldog Gear | Podcast

On this episode we are joined by coach, curator of physical culture and a man who is unafraid to go against the grain in search of answers, D.J. Murakami. We discuss what it truly means to ‘stay in your lane’ as a coach, the utility of the barbell versus other implements and our thoughts on the philosophy of ‘sticking to the basics’ at all costs.

On this episode we are joined by hybrid athlete and mental health advocate Charles Mears. Charles has taken part in a number of incredible challenges and feats of endurance to raise money for mental health charities. His latest undertaking is burpeeing to the top of Ben Nevis.

What’s to follow is an open conversation between two men about our experiences with mental health issues, some of our learnings and beliefs and where and how we believe changes can be truly made, in order to reduce stigma and create an environment where men feel comfortable tackling these issues, or seeking help. As well as the barriers we’ve felt in the past, when the shoe is on the other foot and we’ve wanted to help the people close to us.

Today we are joined by Nicola Joyce. Nicola is professional fitness copywriter and writing coach, she is your number one port of call whether you’re looking for someone to write for your business; or someone to teach you how to do it for yourself.

Welcome back to The Bulldog Gear podcast, AT goes solo to begin fleshing out how you can take ownership of your training regime, and start writing your own workouts.

Based on our new blog series that can be found on the Bulldog Gear blog, in part one we delve into the best way to split up your week based on your experience, goals and the demands of your lifestyle.

On this episode we are joined by former GB and current driver and founder of the new Trinidad and Tobago and bobsleigh team- Axel Brown.

Axel isn’t just a profoundly interesting guy with a fascinating story, worthy of at very least a netflix mini-series, he also has some incredible philosophies that apply to far more than just sport and training. We talked all things winter olympics, ownership and how he’s currently living a very real life version of the movie ‘Cool Runnings’

On Episode 47 of The Bulldog Gear Podcast AT goes solo to personally answer the questions posed to guests during our ‘Toolbox Talk’ segment. From why AT doesn’t read training books anymore, to the difference between exercises we love, and exercises we need. It’s all here!

On Episode 45 of The Bulldog Gear Podcast AT is joined by his brother and partner in crime on their recent ‘24 Ultra’ charity endeavour, William Tracey.

On Episode 44 of The Bulldog Gear podcast we are joined by nutritionist, author and king of critical thinking, Brad Pilon

On Episode 43 of The Bulldog Gear Podcast we are joined by the absolute strength and conditioning phenom that is Tim Stevenson. Tim was good enough to very succinctly surmise our chat in a post pod instagram story, so I’ll just borrow his words here- we talked Dynamic Shoulders, rethinking upper body training methodologies and having enough confidence in your shoulders to throw your kids obscenely high in a swimming pool. This was a majorly enlightening conversation with A LOT of actionable take-aways, so grab a pen and listen up.
