I do want to include more QNA's into my podcast so it will be something I will be doing more, just to smash out a bunch of questions that people want to know about. Today's questions include: - Steroid vs natty gainz and what the differences are. - How to adjust calories when you plateau  - Changing my stance and opinions on things that come...

If you're a normal person, the chances of you overtraining aren't very high. However, for the athletes who are listening to this, overtraining is actually something that can definitely come about. So I want to just dive in a little deeper and explain to you what overtraining is and how you can avoid it.  

I just wanted to continue on from last weeks podcast and talk about the food itself. It's all well and good for me to tell you that you need to be eating more and it's going to be so beneficial for you (and it's true). But I want to give you the information as to what actually happens to the food you eat. How do you actually gain muscle mass? How do you make sure you're avoiding gaining fat? What...

You've probably heard that protein is important but do you actually know why it's important? It's not just for muscle gain. Basically, everything in our body uses proteins to some degree and if you want to get the best bang for your buck then you need to make sure you're getting enough protein in on a daily basis. The reason you want to focus on getting protein in on a daily basis is that we can't...

Everyone is stuck on the low calorie, low dieting phase at the moment and I hate it. I want to break the stigma and show people that you can diet while eating plenty of food and be more adherent. Most people fail when it comes to dieting because they think they have to starve themselves to get results but that's just because "everyone else" has been doing the same thing. But just because everyone...

Aerobic and Anaerobic fitness both play integral parts when it comes to your overall cardiovascular health. There are also different types of energy substrates that are used within the anaerobic and aerobic systems too. We have aerobic lipolysis (the use of fat as a fuel source) and also aerobic glycolysis (use of carbs as a fuel source). When we say fat as a fuel source or carbs as a fuel source...

People always tend to fall into the trap of the all or nothing mentality. When they want to start a fitness journey they think that if they don't do everything they need to every day they might as well not even bother and in today's episode i'm going to show you why that's not a good idea. If you ever want to see long term success with your fitness, it's not going to be from following the all or n...

Nutrition is so important for athletes. Regardless of what type of sport you're doing, you're going to want to make sure that the food you're eating is supporting your goals. Not only do you want nutrition to support your goals, but you also want it to fuel and nourish you so that way you are doing everything you can to be healthy, happy and nourished. In today's episode, I want to just give you a...

So today I'm just going to be giving you guys an update with what's been happening with me lately. It's nothing too exciting but basically just an insight into what's going on training-wise at the moment and a few quick tips that may be helpful to you.

The other day I was asked what is my opinion on coaching? What should coaching involve? How much should it cost for what you offer and a few other questions? At first, I told them what I thought based on my bias and then I realised, there's not one specific type of coaching. It's not specifically what I think coaching should include but more about what a coach should be giving you regardless and a...

As an athlete, your goal is to stay in tip-top shape physically.  The issue with training so much and being so physically active is that you have a higher change of getting a risk of infections (specifically URTI'S) and you want to avoid that as much as you can. In today's podcast we will be diving deep in to how you can avoid getting sick and continuously make progress with your goals and avoid a...

New years resolutions are something that is so improtant and you need to set yourself up for success. Even during this holiday time you're going to be socialising so you need to be focusing on being good too. So I just say for most people, just focus on good behaviours, focus on what we always talk about. The daily habits are there to rely on no matter what. Get in your protein, your fruits, your...
