Gifted Performance Podcast

This week's Tuesday Tea talks about how to plan for a weekend of partying, what to do if/when that plan falls through and how to get back on track.  Not only do we give you some helpful tips but we show you an insight of what coaches do (we are real people too!). I hope you all enjoy! Jess's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jessi.leee/ Jimmy's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/anastasi...

Gentlemen, who can relate? You got into training to impress a girl you had a crush on and now you have 30 dudes in your DMs using classic pick up lines like "just trying to get like you bro"   We've been getting a lot of messages about this and it's time we clear the air. Here is our official position on the matter: If you fall off of the treadmill at the gym or are caught cackling at work wh...

In this episode of the Tuesday Tea, we took a trip down memory lane to talk about all the mistakes we made when first getting into the fitness space, things we did right and things we wished someone had warned us about.   What are some things that you wish you would have done differently?  Jess's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jessi.leee/ Jimmy's Instagram: https://www.instagram.co...

There's your clip for the week folks and if that doesn't compel you to tune in, we don't know what will. But make no mistake, mouth rinsing carbohydrate solutions as an ergogenic aid is no laughing matter.   As always, keep an eye on the profiles of @paulie_rocket @gifted_kuza and @the_completemeathead for AMAs on their stories. This is where we gather all questions. Do they have to be training, n...

A repeat guest on the #GPP? Now that's an honor bestowed upon a rare group. Project Pat said it best "real recognize real" and @rugby_strength_coach is as real as they come.  Keir joined us for an episode all about making money in an industry where scraping by is the norm: Strength and Conditioning.    We want to thank Keir for coming on again and enlightening the people on a subjec...

The newest episode of the #GPP is here featuring Coach Josh Storms.  Coach Storms is the head boss in charge of making strong boys into strong men at Florida State University. With a decorated track record and a keen love for smoked meats, this episode runs the gambit of insightful and helpful takeaways.  Big thanks to Coach for coming on the show. We'll be cheering and tomahawk choppin'...

Every now and then we edit one of these podcasts for you guys and realize it's going to be a classic. This is one of those episodes. With over 100 years of coaching experience (92 of those coming from @the_completemeathead) on this podcast, you know there will be an abundance of nuggets as the guys reflect on what they've changed over the years. Topics discussed include:  Do you see your...

We don't like to talk s%&t about the IWF but when it's warranted, there can be only one guest and that's Weightlifting's favorite longboi @coachzt  Here's the thing: If bodybuilding, powerlifting, and CrossFit are all doing a better job of promoting their sport and they're not even in the OLYMPICS for fk's sake, you're getting called out.  The sport of Weightlifting is as great as it...

Another episode of the Women's Podcast has gone live for your viewing pleasure.   Ya'll ever heard of a sexy exercise? Let Jimmy school you on which exercises are and are not sexyyyyyyy. Got a favorite one that comes to mind? Post it below and we'll have @anastasiarobin_gp rate your selection. Topics discussed: 2:26 - Jess’ Report Card  5:37 - What are the goods and bads that come w...

We get it Paul, trust us, we get it man. After a few weeks away from the Four Horsemen of fat loss and hypertrophy, your ears should be plenty resensitized for this episode.  Remember that questions from the mentoring lab get answered first.  Pre-register now for our next, June 10th, enrollment.  Do your cells burn out? Does your pancreas get tired? Do low RIR sets give you a mean p...

Here's a prediction: This episode is one of the greats. It's going to circulate. People will start talking. There will be murmurs in the community. The IWF will get wind of its existence. "There are two handsome podcasters talking about what? Abolishing the press out? They've started a hashtag? We need to see this." A few months go by, the Max Out or Black Out Classic has become a worldwide sensat...

Hey, wait, that title is click bait. No it's not, you're just a pervert 😆  Questions for Jess and Jimmy?

Gifted Performance Podcast: Equipped Powerlifting 101 with Ian Bell [@iandeadlifts] This week we had an OG of the equipped lifting game, IPF Open World Record Holder, sole proprietor of the House of Beef, and not one...not two...not three...not even four....but FIVE time IPF Junior World Champ, Ian Bell on the GPP to chop it up.  Topics discussed include:  Ian's latest meet and...

We don't know if this question should make you laugh or cry. Actually, it might be ok to do both. What do you think is the one supplement you've wasted the most money on? Let's hear it in the comments.  Another heater of an episode in the books. We are sooooo close to crossing that 400 subscriber mark on YouTube so make sure you've shown us some love over there by hitting that subscribe butto...

On this week's episode of the #GPP we had the privilege of chatting with the brain trust behind Data Driven Strength, Josh [@josh.datadrivenstrength] and Zac [@zac.datadrivenstrength].  Whether you're a bodybuilder, powerlifter, weightlifter, or really whatever barbell sport gang affiliation you represent, this is not one to be missed.    The entire Gifted Team would like to offer a...

Saying that this one is overdue would be an understatement.   How did we start things off? The number one struggle for both male and female dieters around the world, weight maintenance. We are lucky enough to have @jessi.leee to discuss these kinds of topics from a scientific and coaching perspective while @anastasiarobin_gp who has years of bodybuilding, CrossFit, and Olympic Weightlifting e...

New episode of the GPP with USAPL and IPF legend in the flesh, Arian Khamesi @coachariank Any friend of @miketaylordpt is a friend of Gifted and when you've got as much insight into meet day coaching as Arian has, a deep dive into PL coaching is a no brainer. Topics discussed include: An introduction and Arian's history in the sport Meet Day Procedure: Do's and Don'ts The benefits of having a...

It's April 1st and there's no better way to spend your Thursday than to come listen to these fools answer your questions. The affectionately named, Gifted Performance Comedy Troupe never disappoints.   How about that? Five questions answered in one episode and more so than ever before, Paul was on his game. You really don't want to miss our discussion on programming for weak muscle groups. Th...

Today's episode of the GPP features a young buck but an old friend of the Gifted Performance family, Joe Wachs [@joewachs] Joe has been a client of Cam's for coming up on an...eternity? Over the last few years, Joe and Cam have attempted to diet down for a number of shows but for one reason or another, things fell through. We brought Joe on the podcast to talk about how this year is going to be di...

Serious question: Is it "cable flys" or "cable flies" and why does @paulie_rocket hate them so much? Lack of tension at the top? Hard to progress load over time? Maybe he just hates the dweebs that take up both sides of the cable tower at once. Spoiler alert: It's the last one so don't let him catch you cable tower hogging.   As always, you can message your questions to the Gifted coaches dir...
