This episode should come with a warning...

Probably best not to listen around young kids, unless you want them to learn a new vocabulary...

But once it's safe for you to listen, you're in for a good one!

Jake A.K.A Dave took on a solo episode of his own this week to sit down with 2 of the daftest coaches around!

Sam & Will - The working class coaches are the owners of Trident coaching, specialising in getting normal every day folk into unbelievable shape!

And they do it better than most without taking themselves seriously,

Which you'll notice after just 5 minutes of listening!

Having gone through years of their own extreme training and transformations,

With Will dropping 86Ibs in one diet!

And Sam adding some serious muscle to his frame over the years to hide his self proclaimed 'ugly face' (his words not ours)...

They know what it takes and more importantly, they know what to avoid!

So brace yourselves for an episode like no other!

These lads are holding nothing back when it comes to talking about the fitness industry and all the clowns and bad coaches they come across...

Enjoy this one!

You can go and find them both:

But you might regret you did...

Today's episode was another in which we decided to upgrade Big Dave (recurring theme at the moment isn’t it) 

And we replaced him with another client.. 

To talk through his story and coaching journey to date! 

I’d like to introduce you to Seb AKA ‘The Chef’.. 

We did things a little differently to what would be classed as ‘normal’ in the fitness industry as we sat down with a big bottle of beer & just had a chat! 

The chef has been through a pretty impressive transformation to date. 

We started working together well over a year ago with the goal of losing body fat for his summer trip to Croatia! 

I worked my magic and Seb dropped roughly 15kg & looked absolutely incredible going away.. Goal accomplished! 

BUT.. 

This lit a fire in the chef.. As he started to see what might be possible with an even bigger goal. 

Something to take him to the next level again. 

So he signed up to our world famous Biceps & Banter photoshoot this summer (actually on his birthday!)

This meant we had to then go into a stage of adding muscle & gaining weight.. 

Something that is quite a tough ask for someone who has just lost so much and got into the shape of their life. 

This journey has seen a little bit of everything.. 

And coming from a guy who works in hospitality in an environment where you are judged for not drinking, smoking & eating A LOT.. He has arguably had a tougher time than most. 

But we aren’t done yet & I can’t wait to see the end product come July 2024! 

So, show the chef some love! 

He is a top lad & it was great to have him on the podcast and I genuinely think you will take a lot from his experience. 

Enjoy!

But you might regret you did...

He locked Steven Bartlett out of a party! 😂

With what sounded like a less than enthusiastic response from the man himself…!

This is it,

We’ve only gone and bagged a podcast extraordinaire this week!

Coach, Educator and host of the push pull legs podcast , Mr. Tom Hall!

Now we could list 100 reasons why we wanted to get Tom on the podcast,

But to be totally honest,

The real reason was Jake just wanted to grill Tom about how he coaches,

In his own bid to become a ‘Hybrid athlete’…🏃‍♂️😂

But regardless of that, we actually got a very good episode! 🔥

And you’d expect nothing less from a man with over 400 podcast episodes under his belt!In this episode we cover:

👉🏻 What Tom did to Steven Bartlett that he didn’t appreciate…
👉🏻 Why Tom is bringing down bodybuilding one Hyrox at a time!
👉🏻 The biggest problem Tom see’s with people trying to become ‘athletes’
👉🏻 How he coaches people to be strong, fit and ready for anything!
👉🏻 And also why he hates his Whoop…!

If you’re at all interested in learning how to train more like an athlete and not just a bodybuilder,

Improve your strength, speed or power 🔥

And become an athlete ✌🏻

Or you just want to hear Jake fire away questions for his own personal interest,

Go and give the full listen a watch now!

Huge thanks to Tom for coming on!

You can find Tom @tomhall.coach

You can listen to his own podcast on Spotify, just search - Push, Pull, Legs!

Until the next one!

But you might regret you did...

It’s official!

Our guest today makes this a doctor approved podcast!

And that’s all it takes to sell diet BS nowadays, right?

We are buzzing to be joined by our good mate & coach Dr. Rohan Verma!

Although he may regret agreeing to doing this!

We got Rohan on to chat about he recently swapped a career in dentistry for coaching, how he got started with training and all the f*ck ups he’s made along the way with his physique!

And how he ended up one of the top 3 Men’s Physique competitors in Britain without it taking up his entire personality… 👀

From sneaking chicken into nightclubs,

Necking egg whites in lectures,

And getting all his advice from Men’s health magazines!

Rohan tells us all about his biggest mistakes,

His top tips for building muscle,

And how he not only became a successful bodybuilder and dentist,

But has more recently found his passion and changed career to become a full time coach!

So get ready for some hard hitting doctor approved advice,

That makes us ‘almost’ sound credible…

Go make a brew,

Crank the volume up,

And brace yourself for today's episode!

You can find Rohan on Instagram @dr_rvfitness

But you might regret you did...

It's a new year, but it's the same science (A smart fella, 2024).

Cast your mind back to late last year,

We were both dieting down to be the leanest they've ever been!

And after months of effort!

We succeeded!

Getting into the best shape we've ever been in!

Well, you lucky ducks.

We sat down this week to tell you exactly how we did it!

Or actually,

How we didn't!

We wanna make sure in 2024 you're not fallin' for the same old 'diet hacks', fad's, get lean quick BS,

That are still been put about all over the internet by those fitness clowns trying to make a quick penny!

So we're going to talk you through everything we didn't do to get into shape,

So you know exactly what to avoid when it comes to getting into shape in 2024!

So crank the volume up,

Put all your work to one side (trust me it'll be worth it),

And get ready for the full episode!

But you might regret you did...

SH*T!

"My holiday's in 6 weeks Jake and I need to get in shape, can you get me lean for it?"

Erm...this is awkward.

Look we've all left it until the last minute to try get in shape,

But the fact is that 6 weeks, 8 weeks, is NOT a long time to diet.

Why?

Well mainly because 6 weeks is never 6 weeks!

You forget to account for any nights out, social events, illness, trips, work emergency, family emergencies.

These all have an impact and turn 6 weeks of dieting into more like,

4 weeks of dieting and 2 weeks of barely holding things together.

Which never gets a result.

So in today's episode we sat down to make sure this never happens to you again!

Because we will let you in on some coaching BTS info...

The guys we work with that are wanting to be in shape,

Are starting now!

And we're going to tell you why!

We're going through how long it actually takes to get in shape.

How long it would take YOU,

And when you should start!

So if you want all the answers,

Go and give the episode a listen!

But you might regret you did...

Today’s episode is a little bit of a different one.. 

First of all, we have upgraded Jake AKA Big Dave & in true stars in your eyes fashion, we have introduced Big Evan! 

Evan has been a client of mine for over a year and has been on a different journey to what we often talk about in fat loss.

Evan came to me wanting to gain weight. 

He was always the ‘skinny’ guy.. 

He has always struggled to build muscle.. 

And despite doing the research and knowing what he should be doing, he never managed to make any progress. 

Which is where I came in. 

And the rest is history. 

Evan is now filling out his t-shirts.. 

Pushing much bigger numbers in the gym than he ever has done.. 

And has a photoshoot on the cards this summer to document how hard he has worked.

I honestly think this is one the most valuable episodes we have put out. 

It shows you how important consistency is.. And the reality of getting the results we put out on our page! 

So, show Evan some love. 

He is a top guy & it was a pleasure to have him on the podcast! 

Watch this space for more to come for this man 👀

But you might regret you did...

Coming to you live from a David Lloyd cafe...! 😂

No we're not in the studio this week for the first time ever and as Jake is having his bathroom done he jumped on from his local David Lloyd cafe,

Or what he calls "his new office",

Alright for some, ey?

We battled through though to jump on (mainly to check that doing a virtual episode works tbh) to chat through our recent 5,000 calories in under 25 minutes food challenge!

If you haven't seen it yet I'll drop the link below 👇🏻

We chat through how easy we thought it would be,

How we nearly gave up halfway through,

And if we have plans to do any more food challenges!

That's right, there's no fitness talk and tips this week,

Just 2 guys shooting the sh*t about how much food they can eat...

Go check out the full episode now!

And if you've got any ideas for challenges you want to see us do,

Drop them in the comments below!

The answers to all your queasy questions!

⚠️ WARNING! ⚠️

Those of a sensitive disposition may want to skip past question 1…😂

No we won't lie to you,

We were still in christmas mode when we recorded this,

So to save us thinking up a topic, we took the easy way out...

And we decided to open it up for a Q&A!

❓ How to deal with horrendous protein farts...
❓ What we would be doing if we weren't coaches
❓ Our favourite pre and post workout foods
❓ And if you need to take every set to failure for muscle growth!

Well we had to squeeze in one serious question at least, ey? 👆🏻

So for all our rancid responses to your questionable conundrums and more...

Go listen to the full episode!

But you might regret you did...

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

The bar for 'being average' has never been so low...

The average person is overweight, unfit and usually, unhappy with how they look.

Yeah, we said it.

In fact, you're seen as the "strange one" if you bring some pre made 'healthy' meals to work or say no to that 2nd pint at the pub.

The fact is,

When it comes to nutrition, fitness and fat loss - the average person isn't great.

And that's not their fault entirely,

We know society is set up nowadays to help you eat less, move less and eat worse.

And it's only going to keep going one way...

But that doesn't mean there's nothing you can do about it!

So,

If you're looking to hit that 'new year' motivation high!

And start working towards changing your physique,

We're laying out the EASY stuff you can start doing to make sure that you're already above the average!

Go check out the full episode for everything we have to say on this!
