  • A New Approach To Optimising Human Movement - The Human Garage - #029

    Garry Lineham is a movement specialist and the Co-Founder of The Human Garage in Los Angeles.

    The Human Garage is home to some of Hollywood's biggest movie stars, NFL & NBA players, doctors and much more. It's about as progressive of a human movement facility as you'll find on the planet, their approach is starkly non-typical and seriously pushes boundaries in physiotherapy.

    Garry takes us through his entire journey and explains why The Human Garage has become one of LA's most talked about wellness facilities.

  • How Politics And Beauty Leads Physics Astray - Sabine Hossenfelder - #028

    Sabine Hossenfelder is a blogger and Theoretical Physicist who researches quantum gravity, she is also a Fellow at the Frankfurt Institute for Advanced Studies.

    We often think of Physicists as being the smartest minds on the planet, bastions of cognitive perfection who are immune to the dogma & ideological biases of common humans.

    Today we learn that may not be the case. Expect to discover just how physicists' obsessions with "beautiful theories" may be holding the human race back from making it's next major leap forward, along with a fantastic background to just what how the landscape of theoretical physics looks right now.

  • From Zero To Rio: A Life's Journey To The Olympic Games - Sonny Webster - #026

    Sonny Webster is an Olympic Weightlifter who represented Great Britain at the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio.

    Sonny is one of the best known names in the world of strength and fitness in the UK. But before the hundreds of thousands of followers and seminar tours all over the world, he had to learn his craft. Today we get to hear his story.

    From overcoming massive injuries as a child to leaving home at 16, having qualifying day catastrophes and no money to eat to walking out at the Olympic Opening Ceremony next to Andy Murray, we get to learn about his entire journey. Discover his pre-lift routine, his thoughts on CrossFit in the lifting community and why he's endangering his life with a barbell almost daily in videos on Instagram.

    This will be the first of many podcasts as there is a lot to go into about Sonny's career and mindset, but for now, enjoy Chapter #1.

  • Q&A 101 - #025

    Jonny & Yusef from PropaneFitness.com are back again. This time we asked for questions from listeners at home, and oh boy did we get some interesting ones...

    We talk honestly about our relationships with each other, open up regarding our own mental health battles, and elucidate what is probably the best short-form life advice we can give you. Plus we work out what is the biggest animal we can single handedly cling film to a lamppost.

    Listen through until the end to find out what episodes and topics we have coming up and hear me begin to articulate "My Why".

    Also... This probably ranks as my favourite episode to record so far. The questions are so wide ranging and either interesting or ridiculous; both of which are fantastic to answer. It's a credit to the community who tune into these podcasts, so thank you.

  • The Science Of Successful Learning Habits - Peter C Brown - #024

    Peter C Brown is a writer, retired management consultant and the author of Make It Stick; The Science Of Successful Learning.

    No matter what your goals in life, your capacity to learn effectively is the foundation upon which everything is built. Whether you're learning Archery or Law, Economics or Knitting, your capacity to consume and recall information mediates your ability to progress.

    Today we learn what science tells us is the most effective method to learn. Florida International University Law School implemented the Make It Stick approach and went from typically 4th or 5th in The Bar Exam to placing 1st Place in 5 out of the last 6 exams. Teacher or student, you should listen to this.

  • Overcoming War, Elective Amputation and PTSD - BT Urruela - #022

    BT Urruela is a US Army Combat Wounded Veteran, Elective Amputee, Author, Cover Model and Co-Founder of VETSports.

    BT's life sounds like a movie script. I met him 2 years ago at an author's event and always knew that if I had a broadcasting platform I had to sit down with him to let him tell his story. Enjoy the most powerful episode so far.

  • The Mindset Game; Can You Teach Mental Toughness In Sport? - Jordan Wallace, Paul Warrior and Tim Briggs - #020

    A fond welcome back to UK CrossFit coaches, nutrionists & athletes, Jordan Wallace, Paul Warrior and Tim Briggs.

    This week, I wanted to dissect their views on mindset in sport. An athlete's performance in CrossFit, Powerlifting, Endurance Racing and many pursuits is heavily mediated by their mental game, but can you teach it? Or is mental toughness an innate skill you either have or you don't?

    As usual we got distracted and wildly careered off-topic. Expect to hear some very contrasting views on mindset for sports, their frank & honest feedback after the 2018 CrossFit Regionals, and what their opinions are on Adam Collard's performance on Love Island.
