They discuss the British Olympic Committee guidance as well as their personal experiences.

Graham used to repeatedly fail on his fitness journey. Angus & he discuss what is different now. Many people lack consistency. A lack of structure, a lack of recovery, repeated injuries and passion are reasons.

When you learn to love training, your journey transforms.

Monday chest, Tuesday back, Wednesday legs? No. That’s very old fashioned. After a brief discussion about Angus’ sometimes debilitating football addiction, Graham & Angus discuss how to train different muscle groups and how often.

They go into specifics of G-Dog’s programme, and how to cover all muscle groups most efficiently.

Angus & Graham discuss that supplements are useful for filling genuine nutritional gaps or supporting specific health and performance needs when diet alone is insufficient.

They work best as a complement to a balanced diet and healthy lifestyle, not as a replacement. Graham describes his personal supplement regime.

Angus & Graham discuss how seemingly insignificant aspects of your daily nutrition can quietly push you into a calorie surplus without you realising it. Adding a drizzle of oil when cooking, switching to full-fat dairy, finishing your child’s leftovers, or upgrading to a slightly larger portion all feel insignificant in isolation, but together they can add several hundred extra calories a day.

Because these tweaks don’t change how full you feel or how much you think you’re eating, they often go unnoticed, yet over weeks and months they are enough to stall fat loss.Ready to stop winging it and start training with purpose, clarity and support? https://jc9cc7oe7jf.typeform.com/to/feOjPDNj

An entertaining episode as Dry January cones to a close “for those who celebrate”. Angus & Graham discuss how they prepare for and try to cure a hangover. G-Dog also digs into the science of course.Ready to stop winging it and start training with purpose, clarity and support? https://jc9cc7oe7jf.typeform.com/to/feOjPDNj#LiftForLifePodcast #HangoverRecovery #HealthEducation #FitnessLifestyle #DryJanuary

Graham & Angus discuss the importance of ‘mobility’ in life generally and in weight-training and running specifically. They describe the difference between mobility and ‘stretching’; how many people inappropriately prepare for runs and gym sessions; and best practices.

Graham describes how mobility helped him avoid surgery post a skiing accident, and then get stronger. Mobility is central to muscle growth as it enhances your range of motion.Ready to stop winging it and start training with purpose, clarity and support? https://jc9cc7oe7jf.typeform.com/to/feOjPDNj

Angus & Graham discuss running and fat loss. Running is often seen as a go-to for fat loss, but it is a blunt and inefficient tool. The calories burned are modest for the time invested and are frequently offset by a sharp rise in hunger later in the day.

Repeated long-distance running can promote muscle loss as the body adapts for efficiency. That slows metabolism, encouraging fat accumulation and a “skinny fat” body.

Angus and Graham discuss that weight training and strength is not essential in today’s society. Modern conveniences such as cars, escalators, desk-based employment and online shopping mean that you can allow physical decline and not suffer in the medium term.

However, later in life the damage will become increasingly obvious. They then go on to talk about the joy that comes from being stronger at all stages of life.

Graham & Angus go back to basics to start the New Year. They discuss how they would start a renewed fitness and health regime in 2026. Motivation fades but discipline sustains. How would they do it ?

Graham suggests going slow. Too many people accelerate from zero to full speed in January, and that strategy is doomed to fail within a short period.
