Hey podcast fam!

We're here in August! Have you achieved the goals you wanted? Whether it be healthier, improve strength or stress less time is running out for the year.

You can choose to be the same as you have and show any progressions or you can start now to achieve your goals that you've set.

Below is a link to a questionnaire. This questionnaire will help you target the key areas in your life you need to improve on. You'll collect your score and tally it and find out a certain category in which is the highest priority of stress.

I'm confident even if you start to apply one change with consistency and make it a habit, your journey will be one step more closer to optimal.

To your strength, health and happiness.

Hey podcast fam. Hope you're all doing well.

Not everyone has access to the gym so we all know push-ups, squats and chin ups are the best bodyweight exercises.

But what about gymnastics movements? Can you build a super strong core, great arm strength and strong stabilizer muscles? Absolutely.

Listen in to the podcast and find out my top recommended gymnastics exercise that you should have been doing... yesterday!

Peace and pancakes.

I see many of my clients who outline to me that they eat well and train hard. But they are still not seeing any results.

Listen in to this the podcast as I explain why other issues like cortisol, insulin and sex hormones may be others factors that are impacting your ability to achieve results.

To healthy strength.

Hey podcast fam, I want to share with you my past four weeks and my eye condition. Specialist have listed it as an inflammation of the eyelids of a condition called Blepharitis. I've been told that it's a chronic and not curable.

It has been the first time at 30 that this has struck me.I initially blamed it on my contact lense, then a potential sensitivity or allergic reaction to something within my new apartment. But I truly believe now there is a deeper underlying cause, that is, my gut!

To be honest, when I first moved in back in late May to June there was a period where I was eating out too regularly. Combine that and long days working (six days a week) with minimal sleep is a recipe for disaster.

Anyways, tune in more to this podcast as I go into depth about more about my eye condition.

We all know we need to eat less to lose weight. But have you ever heard of eating more to lose weight?

Although there is no scientific literature backing the concept of reverse dieting (the process of slowly increase calories over a period of time) there has been many anecdotal evidence to prove the concept works amongst many strength and fitness experts.

Used commonly in athletes like Michael Phelps and fitness competitors I wanted to explain why in my opinion reverse dieting is necessary and relevant also to the everyday general population who does make a (serious) commitment to the gym.

Of course, you cannot eat whatever you like. It's planned and it's structured. Listen more if I've got you interested.

Peace and pancakes.

You've all seen the sloth who is super hard to motivate in the gym. You've also seen the crazy mad gym goer who brings the intensity like a heavy metal concert. So what differentiates the two? Or better yet the big four?

We all have brain chemicals in our brain and depending upon lifestyle, food choices and values we all have established our own unique neurotransmitter profile. Below is the link to test and find out which profile you are. The next link is where you can read more information from the founding father himself, Charles Polyquin (a multiple time Olympic Strength Coach who uses this method to determine what training style suits the athlete the most). Of course, we're not all athletes, but we can certainly do this for ourselves to have the cutting edge to help improve our strength and body composition.

Peace and pancakes.

Hey podcast fam!

I want to share a muscle group we tend to frequently train but forget to remember what a crucial part it plays in output and strength. That is the latissimus dorsi, or known short as the "lats".

Listen in as I explain how it plays a role in our big lifts and how you can train the muscle to get the most bang for buck.

Peace and pancakes.

Hey podcast fam! Welcome to the show!

Have you seen that person at the gym on the elliptical doing the same thing either each morning or evening, and you think, are you losing, maintaining or gaining? The person literally looks the same and that is because in my opinion they've prioritised cardio for way too long.

Focus on these three pillars and it will be the greatest head start you've ever had.

Peace and pancakes.

Hey podcast fam!

I'm lucky enough to be training in a facility that has strongman based equipment. I know that alot of gym's have difficult with storage or even their gym just only contains machines. But, we are seeing many gyms change their layouts and structure and incorporate a more functional area to train in.

Anyways, I wanted to share in today's podcast the benefit of strongman training and why you should be doing it. For general pop, this program is known to be "modified strongman' as it is not true strongman lifting.

Understand how it's a form of muscle building and fat burning and how it can also help your day to day functionality of moving heavy objects or being comfortable in "uncomfortable" positions.

Enjoy and as always remember to share this with a friend who may be interesting in doing strongman training. Leave a comment and subscribe to stay up to date with upcoming episodes!

Peace and pancakes.
