Welcome to Episode 21 of The Outlifting Lounge, the weekly show serving queer conversation, news, and no-nonsense fitness for gay, bi, and trans guys.

We’re doubling down on what matters most: giving our community the best fitness and mindset advice.

In order to do that, we’re moving to an audio-only format to bring you better sound quality and a weekly schedule you can actually count on.

If you only catch the show on an audio platform like Apple Podcasts, then the great news is that the quality of the show is improving for you.

The show will still live on YouTube as an audio stream, but the real magic is happening in your headphones while you’re at the gym or on your commute.

We’re getting delusional this week and acting like we’re on the judging panel for the brand new season of Drag Race UK Vs The World.

Join Alan and Derec for LGBTQ+ fitness tips, Drag Race reactions, and major LGBT news this past week.

In this episode of The Outlifting Lounge, we discuss DOMS (Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness) to answer the ultimate beginner question: if you aren’t sore, are you still making progress?. We discuss why workout consistency and progressive overload are far more important indicators of success than being unable to walk the next day.

Beyond the gym, we celebrate some massive LGBTQ+ positive news. From the Council of Europe’s resolution against conversion therapy to the High Court win for trans-inclusive spaces at Hampstead Heath, we’re breaking down the legal victories that matter to our community.
