The UHP Podcast

Emanuel (also known as Eman) is known for his basketball. Something i didn't know while podcasting is he dislocated his elbow playing basketball and went through a 3 month rehab. This kickstarted his interest for becoming a Physio, Seeing change week to week after a period of no function was an important aspect of his return to play after injury.

Currently building on his base of strength and increased muscle tissue is the main goal at the moment. Increased strength leads to increased sports performance which leads to improved games.

Listen in to hear how- you can get the winning edge by putting in the work yourself. How natural talent can only get you so far. How being specific with your training can work wonders when it comes to increased game time and less time spent injured if you do it right.

A life Filled with NRL Frank talks through his time at professional football and his experience after letting NRL go. Many sports people go through this and Frank talks about how he coped ( and didn't cope) during his time outside the relm of NRL.

New PB's and strength outside professional sports, Frank has found a passion in lifting. We talk through the mental side of lifting and how it does change your mindset with not just the gym but life.

Chris is not like most PT's as he himself has struggled with what a-lot of clients go through- being overweight.

At his highest 120kg down to his lowest 70kg at a bodybuilding comp in October 2022 he knows what it is like to lose a substantial amount of weight.

Environment is everything as Chris puts it. Being his clients biggest cheer leaders is what he strives to do. Supporting them along every step of the way and knowing he has gone through something similar is what separates him from many other PT's who have been in shape their whole life.

Doing a bodybuilding comp 4 weeks out from a powerlifting comp is something you don't see too often.

Listen in to hear more about Chris, his past and what he wants for his future.

Max is someone who is always up for a chat. His positive attitude is infectious, but it wasn't always this way. If you take some time to listen to his podcast you can see how he overcame his mental hurdles and became the man he is today.

Some of the more experienced trainers of UHP come on the podcast to talk about how things have changed in the fitness industry over the years.

Do they even teach proper programming in the PT course?

What are certain things that aren't 'normal' that seem to work well with clients?

How do the PT's build on their knowledge? How do you push out something new even though you've been pushing out things for a certain period of time?

Jasmine started off life with no sport in sight. Cultural norms suggested that she just focus on school and going to uni.

It wasn't until later in life that jasmine started to change ( for the better in her eyes) which allowed her to to transform the way she takes on life.

Listen out for a quite Jasmine talk about how he made some big changes.

Luke is known for his compound lifts and heavy weights ( Unless Chest Press is involved).

We don't hear it too often but we manage to get Luke to talk about his history before personal training. Farmers carries with concrete as a staple to his training and how one day he went to the park and maxed out his trap bar farmers carry for 1 set before going home.

We run through a bit of science and how doing less helped his training progress faster than ever. 3 hour squat sessions at home paid off big time!

Its not always about hypertrophy when it comes to strength training and we dive into the reasoning behind why it might work.

To listen in on Lukes back story and the way he trains, have a listen to this episode.

In this podcast we run through the topic of how training has changed over the years. It used to be all about PT's being required for clients that are beginners to the gym. Why do people now reach out to coaches even when they are experienced in the gym?

How do the trainers all work in a gym where they might have different training methods? When do they but heads and where should one speak up about why certain training styles are being introduced?

Lots of banter and a few weird secrets released.

Listen in to hear more about Alex Michael, Nathan and Michael.

From giving away all his food at school to now competing in 2 bodybuilding competitions . Anthony takes us through the struggles of comp prep. Its not always easier the 2nd time and how sometimes it's good to go in head first. If you knew how hard things are when you're in the thick of it, would you start in the first place?

It's a mental battle some of which can be used in many other aspects of life. Surrounding yourself with the right people might be the thing that turns everything on for you.
