Show Notes

Tomorrow marks the start of Organ Donation Week, so with that in mind, today on the Propane Fitness Podcast, Yusef chats to Nick Whitehurst, World Transplant Games Gold Medalist. Nick suffered acute liver failure in 2015 after returning home from a summer holiday with his family. Weeks later he received a new liver and won a gold medal for team GB at the World Transplant Games in Malaga less than 2 years later. They talk about his organ transplant, the emotional roller coaster of receiving a donor organ, the concept behind the Transplant Games, maintenance for injury prevention and the importance of registering as an organ donor.

It's that time of the week again where we sift through the best offerings of the Fitness and Productivity world for your reading, listening and viewing pleasure. If you'd like to be considered for the Pick List or would like to pen a guest article for us, shoot us a message.

Our Top Pick this week is -

Flexible Dieting And IIFYM – An Ultimate Guide - Rudy Mawer

Here at Propane Fitness, one of the biggest furores we've created with an article is the one where we told everyone about how we got shredded eating Haribo and Pringles. A lot of readers literally lost their shit. In this article Rudy explains the same methodology we use with ourselves and all our clients. The results speak for themselves...it's not what you eat, but how much...

"The difference between IIFYM and other traditional diets is that this methodology emphasizes calories and macros rather than simply the foods you eat. This means that, as long as it fits within your calorie and macronutrient budget, consuming foods such as pizza, ice cream and pop-tarts is acceptable!"

The Hardest Thing for Clients to Adopt: Rest Periods -Tony Gentilcore

In this article Tony discusses why taking rest periods between sets is actually crucial to progress and performance, how long we should rest for and tips for hacking the down-time for greater work-out productivity.

Half my battle with new(ish) clients is to get them to understand there’s a rationale and purpose for rest periods, that they’re good for them, will help them, and more importantly…that they won’t lose any points for Gryffindor for standing in place for more than 30 seconds without performing a burpee.

Our Top Pick this week is - 

Check Your Ego at the Door and Maximize Your Gains - Chris Tutela, Elite FTS

In this fantastic piece, Chris Tutela discusses the average gym-goers biggest barrier to training success - Their ego.

There is no wonder why such little progress is made for most public gym-goers. Not only is there no plan in place, but there is also no consideration for their weight selection. Just a quick, “Ah, throw the 25’s on” when in reality they should be taking about 60 pounds off. And there is one common theme amongst lifters, which continues to destroy their progress. That is…The ego!

Millennial Women: Redefining Strong(her)  - Alycia Israel, Elite FTS

"Strength in many facets of life does not come easy for us. Us, as in women. Hell, we don’t even have the biological advantage. Developing strength of any kind for us is hard and takes a lot of work. You might think, "Of course, isn’t it hard for anyone in strength sports?" Yes, but it’s not the same. We literally must bust our asses to build even an ounce of muscle, to gain a pound on our max, or to get ahead in virtually any career field. With literally everything against you, you have no choice but to work as hard as humanly possible."

The Elephant in the Room: Emotional & Other “Non-Physiological” Reasons for Eating- Part 1 - 3D Muscle Journey

Why did you eat that if you're not hungry? In this article 3DMJ discuss the other reasons why we eat and how to address them.

...emotional and other non-physiological reasons for eating (reasons other than being truly physically hungry) exist on a sliding scale, and don’t always mean that one is doing it to cover-up unpleasant feelings (although this does happen, which we will get into in a minute), but sometimes just as an excuse for a break, as a distraction, or for procrastination from work.
