The Daily Swole

We had a fun time today didn't we? Everything from thongs and old man balls in the gym to someone coming into MY house and telling me how to do my show. For shame! But, it's OK fam, she got ROASTED :)

Fitness and Nutrition from the ground up - how you should approach both of these with concepts with the same mindset. More importantly, a TON of engaged Q&A in this episode. Super-fire turnout so check this one out for sure!

Full discussion about what it takes to get shit done, covering nutrition, inflammation, discipline and more. Great success stories in the Q&A as well.

Frank is no "newbie" when it comes to training. Battling through injuries and years of training he has come out the other side with an entirely new approach to his lifting, nutrition and outlook for the future. This conversation is absolute FIRE and I'm grateful for the time spent on this podcast. DO NOT MISS THIS EPISODE!

Measuring your progress is important to understand what you need to do to keep going. It is also important to measure your progress relative to where you've been as an individual. This looks different for each person and understanding what exactly you want will help you see the incremental steps you have taken and NEED to take to continue on your journey.

Whether is the nutrition train (Vegan vs. Meat) or something more social or political (even sports), people LOVE to have their team and their support system. This leads to SEVERE oversight in what is actually the truth as opposed to what people want to be correct.

Great Q&A session from IG Stories and of course the LIVEstream on all platforms. Nutrition, training, beard care, eating human meat and more......

This hell of a mental episode is packed with philosophy, nutrition and strategic approach to fitness and life.

The sphnix push-up is an exercise that can be done at home OR in the gym and designed for all levels. This has been a popular exercise for the last 20 or so years that fluctuated between P90X and other various programs. In this episode I break down the form as well as modifications for your specific abilities.

Carlos is in the crib and we discuss nutrition, philosophy and more! Great episode to sink your teeth into.

Discussion of the difference between the various types of strength and why it is important to train for strength but not necessarily MAX strength. Also some fun CrossFit questions based around functional training etc.

The fitness industry is ripe with people just playing "follow the leader" and completely ignoring the fact that a "CPT" after your name does NOT qualify you to be a fitness professional just in itself.

Great episode featuring Q&A and some inspiration for getting your grind on daily for self-improvement in fitness and your personal life.

There is much to be said for WHAT you are consuming rather than WHEN you are eating it. This episode covers the disparity between counting calories, different styles of eating as well as inflammatory foods.

If you set the goals high, you are more than likely to fail, get discouraged and eventually...QUIT. Let's avoid that by restructuring our approach to training and nutrition and make it so every day is a victory, an opportunity, a POSITIVE.

Inflammation is a defensive response to foods that are NOT meant for our bodies. There is much bio-individuality from person to person, however, there is a logical approach to nutrition that goes un-taught and un-addressed in the fitness industry. This is in part because of the billions of dollars from supplement companies as well as big pharma. When $$$ is at stake, the simple logic of human nutr...

Luke is currently finishing up a degree in Exercise Science and moving deeper into bodybuilding. This episode includes video breakdowns of deadlift and barbell row among other tips and tricks to improve mobility and postural integrity during compound movements.

Getting into strength training, eating to gain and some of the misconceptions around what it takes to put on strength and muscle. Tons of valuable content in this episode even for those of you looking to lose weight. Breaking habits and re-training the mind is a game-changer.

The reverse crunch is an extremely valuable exercise that gets practiced incorrectly FAR too often. In this episode, I bring up a video into the live-cast and break down the proper form that can be done both at home or at the gym.

Do you struggle with building muscle AND losing weight at the same time? Of course you do, that's why it is not the best approach to your training and nutrition! Those possibilities are common when starting a program but it is specific to those new to the gym. In this episode those concepts are discussed in my last Ohio-cast. Apologies for the audio, I f'ed up my settings!

How to lay down rest in your training schedule as well as how to reduce both physical AND mental tension with meditation and yoga. Active recovery is important but different for both mental approaches as well as physical approach.

Jeb and I break down the beginning sets and exercise choices of our impending total body workout. Also discussed eating human meat (lol).

General discussion that ranged from sport specific training to program design in Crossfit (or lack thereof) and using the wrong technique for a specific goal.

Sharing this day with my best friend and talking fitness in it's finest form. Great Q&A and turnout from the swole fam!

First of a week of Daily Swole on the road. Up in Cleveland for the 4th of July with Jeb. This episode covers some of what has transpired so far, some sports, some controversial topics. More to come!
