I try to tackle a big topic in this episode to explain how my approach to training has changed over the years. I used to follow programs with rigid sets and reps. Now I don't. I value ability and skill more than muscle as a window dressing. The hard part of answering this question is that it's so context specific to your goals. But most of the goals we claim are baked into a reference poin...

It will take about 10 of these before you start to understand the texture of my mind, but that's fine. And even if you don't and this isn't for you, that's fine too. But I e...

Welcome to the first Grahamble. Which ironically was how the podcast started. I'll be doing more of these. I've been thinking alot about nutrition recently and making some changes to how I eat. Normally I stay away from the topic because it's so dogmatic. But I wanted to get this out. I've been doing a fruit based diet by day and animal based diet at night. Which is basically one b...
