Woodgym with Petrone

The guys gather once again in the office (but without the Woodgym's resident Burt Reynolds this time) for part 2 of Charlie's dive into the 10 steps he recommends when cutting away the crap and focusing on what matters!

Griff recounts the herculean efforts by locals and volunteers from around the country to coordinate relief in the Appalachian mountains after a cataclysmic storm devastated isolated East TN and NC dwellers. 

Charlie is at it again with the meditation, the mountain bike rides, the journaling -- ya'll know what that means it's time for another SOLO DOLO episode of the show! 

How would you live if you knew you only had a day or a week left? What fades away, and what becomes paramount? Charlie has tips to help you sort it all out. 

In this solo dolo episode, Charlie tries to define the mindset of a champion, drawing from his 30 years of experience working with elite athletes and successful entrepreneurs. He talks about how the best stay consistent and don't let mistakes (or success) throw them off. Petrone shares practical tips on building mental toughness and staying focused, whether you're on the field or in the boardroom.

Charlie addresses the gym and imparts some wisdom from the Woodgym office desk in a short, sweet, solo episode. 

Even though Theo Benedet had been to Tennessee before to train at the Woodgym, he wasn't prepared for what was in store the last 7 weeks. For one, Charlie still couldn't say his last name (although they got that sorted, finally). 

Listen as these two recap some of the hardest training of this dedicated footballer's career, how they got Theo sorted to play in the league, and the one piece of advice from Charles that grew to redefine how Theo saw working out. 

Charlie sits down with Ohio State football commit and Woodgymer Max to discuss his path from Montreal to Tennessee and the continuation of the Canadian Pipeline. 

The Canadian football savant is back for a second round of live-in training down south, and he and Charlie have dove into the deep end this time for 7 straight weeks. "Don't surrender to down days" has been a mantra in the gym, and it seems to be an expression that describes the cadence of these two's mad training regiment in the lead-up to the NFL combine this year. 

Charles and Theo sit down and talk about setting goals, and what it means to aim high and follow through at the highest levels of athletic performance. Wondering where to find the best refinery for your raw talent reserves? It's the Woodgym! Don't settle for lukewarm! 

Charles sits down for a stirring discussion with Dr. Sprouse to talk everything from diet, training, genetics, blood work, and their new favorite pastime -- pickleball! 

This humble brainiac preaches performance knowledge gained from his time studying emergency and performance medicine (and his own time as a triathlon athlete), as well as his vast experience with elite cyclists and others who compete at the highest levels in their respective fields.

Long time Woodgym-er and world-class opera singer Farrar Strum lends his powerful pipes to the show. He shares how he started singing, how he started training with Charlie, and what it's like navigating mental health challenges and repeated affirmations throughout his life and career.
