Bulldog Gear | Podcast

On this episode of the Bulldog Gear Podcast, we’re joined by Katie McDonnell.

Katie is a professional stunt performer, who has featured in some pretty notable Hollywood blockbusters, an incredibly accomplished parkour athlete and as you can probably tell from that CV, a pretty cool human being to chat to.

We talked about Katie’s career, injuries, strength training for stunts and the future of free running as a sport - a massively interesting conversation for us, and I hope you guys enjoy it too!

Welcome back to The Bulldog Gear Podcast! Today we are joined by legendary professional big-wave surfer, Andrew Cotton.

We spoke about how he’s overcome huge amounts of adversity to arrive at where he is today, the importance of training off the surfboard to hit your ultimate potential, how he discovered breath work, and how to integrate all of these lessons into your everyday life. Enjoy!

Welcome back team! This week on Episode 11 of The Bulldog Gear Podcast we are joined by Carl Paoli. Carl is an incredibly influential movement coach, one of the earliest advocates in developing gymnastics as a skill in CrossFit, and author of the New York Times best seller ‘Free+Style’.

This was a majorly thought provoking conversation for us, with Carl tapping into the sometimes nebulous relationship between movement, thought and emotion, while trying to draw some parallels. We sincerely hope this episode resonates with you, and that you go away with more than just a little bit to chew on. Enjoy!

Welcome back to the Bulldog Gear Podcast where we are joined by Emma Storey-Gordon. Emma is a nutritionist, an online coach, educator and probably one of our favourite sources for education on social media.

We touched on everything from coaching biases, nutritional myths and philosophies, and how, even though science is incredibly important, it isn’t completely infallible, and that it’s important to develop our own compass especially when it comes to nutrition and training. Enjoy!

Welcome to episode 9 of the Bulldog Gear Podcast. Today we are joined by Emma Hackett of Limitless Coaching. Emma is a leading mental performance coach, working with elite athletes, from Olympians to podium CrossFit athletes, to business people in order to help them achieve their peak potential.

In this episode we spoke about everything from mindfulness, knowing yourself, training your mind like a muscle, and how to view setbacks as nothing more than feedback. Actionable takeaways are plentiful in this episode, especially during these current Covid-19 times - where we’re all spinning a lot of plates.

Today we are joined by Marcus Filly. Marcus is a former CrossFit Games athlete, as well as one of (if not THE) Godfather of the functional bodybuilding movement. We had a great chat and Marcus really got into the knitty gritty of what makes functional bodybuilding so successful and popular, and how to make this training methodology work for you. Some truly actionable insights and takeaways in this one - so maybe have a notepad ready! Enjoy.

Today we are joined by a former rugby player, gym owner, paragon of authenticity, and we would be remiss if we didn’t say all-round jacked dude - Ollie Marchon.

We touched on everything from training to leadership to nutrition, with Ollie delivering some absolutely killer insights, as well as some pretty impressive takeaway messages. As ever, enjoy!

Today we are joined by the infamous and infinitely knowledgeable Paul Warrior, for what is ostensibly a Q&A session, but if we were to offer a theme for this episode, it would be that - the questions you’re asking are sometimes more important than the answers you’re going to find.

What follows is a conversation between two friends, dipping in and out of the questions, and just generally waxing lyrical on training, nutrition and maybe life in general. We hope you enjoy.

In today’s episode, we are joined by Jade Skillen. Jade is a UK-based professional OCR athlete, a member of the Spartan Pro Team (and UK series winner), as well as an ambassador and competitor in the emerging and pretty exciting sport of Hyrox.

We spoke about all things OCR training, training in lockdown, and why we both think that, ultimately, training for an OCR might be the funnest and most well-rounded way to train - ever! An absolute ton of actionable take-aways from Jade in this week’s podcast, enjoy.

Today we are joined by Logan Gelbrich. Logan is the owner of Deuce Gyms, the author of the book ‘Going Right: A Logical Justification for Pursuing Your Dreams’, and a pretty cool thought-provoking dude. We have a great conversation, some of which is pretty timely, profound and, again, thought provoking for gym owners and people in the fitness space during this current climate. Enjoy.
