TK Pod

Today I do a planned and prepped episode as on release day I will be coming home from a 4 day trip to the Lake. Which stirs the question.. How can you make a long weekend vacation work with nutrition and exercise goals?

Today is a ramble and random podcast. We eventually get to the main topic of why you should start building out your home gym no matter what your training situation is. What equipment should be the first pieces of your home setup and why, and a whole lot more.

Today we are back from vacation and BACK to working out. I bring everyone up to speed on how I am working back in to my disciplined workout routine, a better diet, and a deeper focus on the whole picture of fitness. We also go over the recent body fat scan I had done, the different ways that body composition can be measured, and what I am doing with that information.

Today we discuss what it's been like being forced to take over an entire month off of training. The mental and physical struggles of my injury, and more specifically how I am processing these into Pros and Cons, and using them to positively impact my path back to routine.

Today we discuss the rebrand of my personal fitness business. I lay out the 3 pronged approach to how I will be bringing fitness solutions to the masses, and the goals I have for the brand.

My CrossFit season comes to a close with the Quarterfinals. I added the obstacle of doing 4/5 of these workouts on vacation, at a completely new gym, in condensed blocks of time. We discuss how I faired worldwide, and within my region, as well as if I improved on last year or not. And briefly scratch how I am feeling moving forward into the off season.

The Open is finally over, 3 works of tests have come and gone, and its time to break down how I did! We talk about the final week in specifics, how this years Open finish compares to my previous years, how I did relative to my goals for the season, and moving on to Quarterfinals!

Disclaimer: This is very numbers based.. we are DEEP in the weeds of analyzing my placings for this workout.. I am only entertaining myself. 25 minutes of me rambling about where I placed in the first Crossfit Open workout of 2023.. relative to the world, the state, the country.. and so forth. How those numbers compare to last years placings.. some Crossfit Open history, and all other thoughts on...

This begins a 6 week stretch where our episodes will focus heavily on my personal competitive performances within the Crossfit world. We start by explaining a bit how the first 2 phases of the comps work, talking about my journey into treating myself as a legit CrossFit athlete, discussing some of the setbacks I have had, and laying out goals for this Crossfit Open.

Today starts with an episode topic in mind, but some monologue thoughts reroute the podcast and take us into some philosophical thought about the mindset of getting better. Learning to open our eyes to growth opportunity with everything that touches our lives, and being willing to know that you can always be better.

Today we discuss how to mesh new health behaviors into the existing life that you already live. Often times when we decide to make a change in our diet or exercise it's met with resistance from those around us. And while that resistance is based on insecurities of the other person, the social pressure to give in on drinks or dessert doesn't help us in our pursuit to find consistency. Today we talk...

Today we discuss the topic of Deep Work.  What is it, Why should we use it, and what problems from our current day to day work life does it solve. Tricks on how to schedule it, and how to use it as infrastructure to your days. And how to maximize the time between the Deep Work sessions to bring fulfillment into your life.

This specific podcast, one that has now reached over 100 episodes, started in Early 2020 just before the Covid Pandemic started. Listeners have followed my personal competitive fitness journey, the Pint Life series, and my thoughts on all things fitness/diet/and health for a full 2 years. Not a single episode has featured a guest, which has left me to talk to myself this whole time, and in that I...

After a crazy 2 months, we enter the year with our original training goals being dashed, and the lull in top level training leaving me far to 'not fit' to try and make CrossFit Semifinals.. so where do we go from here? An update on how I am feeling, how much I really got set back in 2 months time, and what my goals are now as we sit 36 days from the CrossFit Open.

This will be the last episode that comes out before I officially become a father. I talk about my excitement and thoughts as the day draws near, and the things I am most looking forward too.

Today we talk about the upcoming rush of New Years Resolutions, and why sadly most of them will fail. What is the strategy to ensure that you can stick to the goals and plans that you set? And better yet, How can you get ahead of your peers.

A life update. Struggle, mental fatigue, lack of motivation, lack of barbell. A glimpse into my current 3 week life skid.

After a forced, self mandated, 7 day break from my CrossFit training to give my body a rest, I come away with many thoughts on why it was good, why it was a challenge, and why it may be beneficial for others to do the same.

After several weeks of my body not cooperating with me, struggling to churn out any 'good' training days, having to manage pain and warmup for significantly longer time frames, and a list of other challenges, I am being forced to take a step back. Sometimes we have to take 1 step backwards to allow the steps forward to continue to be there in the future. I talk about the grind the last 3 weeks hav...

A client had a troubling mental obstacle this past weekend, he couldn't tell himself no. Even in the face of reality, holding snacks he knew he should not be eating, he chose to anyway. So he came to me and asked.. Why.. Why could I not abstain from giving in to the junk food. We answer how to consistently exemplify that discipline in this episode.

Today we discuss 3 foods that are fat focused that will no doubt help structure your diet towards a focus on better body composition, weight management, and recovery from your workouts!
