September 11, 2023 Breaking Bad - Cut Loose The Ball And Chain of Addiction
Follow, rate and subscribe if you enjoy today's episode
We'll be hearing from addiction expert Gabor Mate in today's episode. Stick to the end for a great insight of his!
He says addiction in all its forms is the result of wanting to dull pain from trauma. The odds of this are increasingly high in the average person as we continue to live in a society that makes us mentally ill. Today's episode is holding addiction out in the cold light of day. I acknowledge how clients who struggle to adhere to a plan outside of the gym are likely being controlled by their addictions. I will also be discussing what is necessary to overcome addictions, as an ex-addict of many things.

August 28, 2023 Pain vs Progress: Decode Your True Limits
Follow, Rate and Subscribe to the podcast if you enjoyed today's episode
Many who train regularly are unaware of their true physical limits. It takes time to even develop the proper body awareness to begin flirting with that frontier level of effort in the gym. A particular word uttered by clients of late is "pain", and this has come to interest me. Is it being accurately deployed when discussing sensations during lifts? Is it a word that ultimately holds us back?

Seriously - pick one or more of these and you WILL lose weight... with a couple of caveats >>

- If you can't stick at for three months, ask yourself why you were psychologically unable to, and what needs to be done to fix this
- If you continue to drink loads of beer and wine, progress will be hindered by the body constantly being in repair mode from all the poison
- You HAVE to acquire the knowledge then actually use it!

When I see a person with great posture, I see someone who is strong, active and healthy. In this day and age the pursuit of "feeling upright" and not raging at the reflection we see in car windows has become a thing. Our jobs, bank accounts, entertainment and shopping are all dictated by screens and eventually this can lead to rolled shoulders, opened up scapula and weak lower back. All eventually leading to pains ranging from the shoulders, down the back, hips and into the knees. Being upright is well worth it, and today we'll look at a few things to add in the gym in the pursuit of this.
