>Meatheads

Cheyne and Luis discuss ideas, thoughts, approaches, mentalities and other things we thought were bad to do before but actually aren't as bad as previously thought. One of the biggest topics discussed is knees over toes. Every newbie trainer is told to put the body in anatomical alignment from toes to ankles to knees to hips to shoulders when assessing someone and never ever forever and ever allow someone's knees to go over their toes. Turns out that if you've ever gone up a flight of stairs, you know this is malarky. Other topics such as eating fat being bad, cardio before weights, muscle training frequency and no carbs after 7 are also brought up. Listen in and share with everyone you know because >Meatheads has always and will always be a Yes Yes.

Cheyne really opens up in this episode. Cheyne and Luis discuss Cheyne's recent visit to the doctor to talk about Cheyne's internal posterior concerns. Cheyne's dedication to content notwithstanding, this is a really good episode in terms of taking care of yourself and avoiding a worse outcome and normalizing talking about such things. Luis talks about eating too much cannabis butter and just feeling assed out useless. Also discussed is what to eat post workout and dispelling old school rumors and myths. This topic also ties into how binge watching TV has a strong correlation to binge eating.

Cheyne and Luis are officially Spartan Group exercise instructors! Cheyne and Luis discuss their plans to bring Spartan obstacle course race training to the masses. Their expertise isn't just based on their experiences during a race, but is now endorsed by Spartan itself. A major component for race training is coaching. The method in which coaching is implemented when done properly is criticism, when done incorrectly is critiquing. This doesn't necessarily have to be done by someone else, we can do this to ourselves. Cheyne and Luis discuss self coaching and how to treat yourself like a long term relationship and not one night standing yourself. Also discussed are five good reasons to eat carbs. Tell everyone you know about this episode!!!

Cheyne and Luis discuss the potential of breaking into Cameo'esque style workouts and the potential that market can bring. Give someone you care about (or don't like) a video workout by Cheyne or Luis. Cheyne and Luis then discuss the difference between simple and easy. The concept of running a marathon is simple, you start and you're not done until you reach the finish line, it's not easy. Meal prepping for a week sounds simple enough, sticking to that plan may not be easy. Cheyne and Luis provide tips towards "mastering the mundane" in order to level out the playing field a bit more between simple and easy.

Cheyne and Luis have a chat with easily one of the busiest people in the fitness industry, Anthony Crouchelli. Anthony has over 10 years in the fitness industry which include Equinox, Rumble Boxing and Grit Boxing. Anthony currently finds himself as the Director of Group Fitness for Presher Fitness and Talent Manager for LiteBoxer, we suspect he also runs the community bake sale on the weekends. Anthony also has what appears to be an alphabet soup of credentials in certifications and credentials. With all this information Anthony is still an incredibly positive person who just wants to spread his message of positivity and where he thinks the fitness industry is going. We were glad to be able to have a conversation with Anthony as he commuted between jobs on the train from Boston to NYC.

Cheyne and Luis ask the very important question, when are you too old to stop flirting? After much debate the topic shifts to the photoshoot Cheyne was a witness to over the weekend. The fine balance between accurate content for social media and the stuff that will get the likes. It's very easy to become a virtual signaling director for virtual content. The easiest way to avoid this is to have an expert on set. After the main topic Cheyne and Luis move on to a potential new segment called "Fortune Cookie".

Cheyne and Luis have got a doozey of an episode in this one, they have Dr. Mike Israetel.

Cheyne and Luis will never forget their first... their first interview. The connection is so strong that the entire >Meatheads crew takes a road trip to Connecticut to visit George Keklik. Cheyne and Luis are put through a workout of picking up stone balls and walking heavy yokes across the gym. During the interview, George provides modifications for those at home who want to try this workout. The video is available on YouTube. Afterwards the whole gang sits down and catches up with George regarding what he's been up to since last we spoke. It turns out, George has branched out into the personalized gift market.

Prepare to get blown... away... with information. Cheyne and Luis have the one and only Rua Gilna on the podcast. Rua's handle on Instagram is thebiomechanist and he absolutely lives up to his name. Coming from a background of full contact sports at a young, Rua suffered multiple concussions. He realized that the answers he needed to fix himself were going to be found beyond the introduction approach to working out. Rua didn't settle for the answer of "that's just how we do things" and decided that a real effective change can happen with a "non-conventional" approach. Wanna know what this method is?
