Fortem Training Podcast

In this one we're talking about the April Nutrition Challenge and what has been going on in the last month.

Zac has been trying out a more vegan-style diet, and making a conscious effort to eat better.

And we talk about an interesting thought on some potential conflicts of interest in the programming for CrossFit competitions.

There are a lot of thoughts around people training when ill or training around illness etc, so with Zac being ill and still doing a little training, we thought we could delve into that topic pretty well!

We also dig into training with and around injuries and our thoughts on how to manage things in that case.

Shooting it solo again on the Instagram Live with some Q&A action. Hammering out some answers to some of you guys' questions from the IG (@kierandouglasjones)

Bodybuilding has a huge role to play in your performance for CrossFit. But also for how your body will change through training. Bodybuilding style training is starting to make somewhat of a resurgence at CrossFit gyms, but definitely should be something that more CrossFitters do!

We also delve into some thoughts on the Mind-Muscle connection, and why a few of the top CrossFit athletes, owe a piece of their success to their background in bodybuilding.

In this awesome episode I am shooting it solo and answering some listener/DM questions live on the Instagram (@kierandouglasjones)

I've curated a bunch of questions from the DM's and from listeners of the podcast to answer live on the Instagrams, AND record it here for the podcast.

There's a couple of rabbit holes we delve down in this, longer than usual, episode on the Fortem Training Podcast.

We're talking about goal setting and setting yourself up for working towards your goals every single day.

We're also talking accountability and what we think makes us accountable.

Then finally, we dig into the why behind our own training, and what keeps us coming back day after day to put in the work.

All too often we see people training to muscular failure. In training! Seriously, you shouldn't look like crap when your training. Your movement shouldn't be all over the place. Movements should actually look pleasing to the eye, it should look good!

All to often we see people running themselves into the ground going to muscular failure on a daily basis!

Training does not have to be complicated! Fitness is often made complicated because it "looks better". But that doesn't mean that it works?

Stop over complicating your training. If you're training to look better, feel great, live healthier then it can be as simple as having a dumbell, kettlebell, wall ball and speed rope. You can get a lot of fitness just from those!

Get yourself a garage gym! It's where it's at for getting your fitness in, in a simple and effective way every single day. Plus it's on your doorstep; No excuses right?

I run through my thoughts on the equipment I got when I started my garage gym, and what I think you really need. Because I didn't actually do it quite right the first time around; experience hey.

What are you really training for?

Stop training for the games if you want to look better, feel great and live a healthier life. Those two don't correlate.

I'm going to bring you some brief thoughts that I'm having each week over a morning coffee, and pose you questions that you can ask yourself.
