Knight's Knuggets

Today I am joined by Marina Cornwall. A truly inspirational figure with a story to tell! Marina is an IPF (International Powerlifting Federation) Hall of Famer, multiple times British, European, World and Commonwealth Powerlifting Champion, WBFF Pro and Personal Trainer. Oh, and she started and achieved all of these things after her late 30's!! I hope you enjoy the episode as much as I enjoyed hosting, and if you'd like to follow along and/or get in touch with Marina, please follow her on Instagram @marina_cornwall

Hey there to both of you! We've been rubbish but we're back again now! Charlie and Charlie are back chatting about things that could help you do better things with your health, lifestyle and wellbeing! Today is about finding the time to do things and how you can sneak a couple of things in a week to help you out. Enjoy!

Strength Register! Today I am chatting to Keoghan and Clara from Strength Register, an online platform to list up competitions, gyms, coaches, seminars etc and for people to find such things! We have a good chat about our love of strength sports, our aims and goals and about how we are looking to grow the sports of Strongman & Strongwoman, Weightlifting and Powerlifting from grass roots. Great chat, could've carried on for another hour!! Enjoy!

Very special episode today, I chat with the lb for lb strongest woman on the planet, WSM lw 2018 and owner of Kaos Strength and several other incredible feats besides, Rhianon Lovelace! Great chat and very honest account of her journey so far, inspiring, heart warming and genuinely so much fun! Thank you for coming on

GOAL SETTING! It's been a while! We're back again chatting about things that might help you along with our usual brand of nonsense! Today is all about goal setting, motivation, discipline and the bullshit people tell themselves for not getting to their goals, why the goals may be too big or small and how best to get over lulls un motivation (Spoiler alert, that's where the discipline bit comes in!) Enjoy, as usual any questions or such please leave a comment! Until next time

The return of the handsome one! After a decent length of time off due to more poor excuses, Charlie Beestone is back with me today talking all things competition prep, performance, nutrition, mindset and all sorts! We have our usual tangents, some sound advice and thought provoking questions like 'what is the collective noun for moles'? As usual, any questions for the next episode, drop them in the comments, dm us and we'll get them in then! Charlie (The not handsome one)

Today we are chatting with Annabel Chaffey. Annabel is a good friend of mine who I've been wanting to get on here for a while now to tell her story! As an ex GB Olympic Bobsledder, Annabel talks about some of the amazing highs and the crushing lows of her time as an elite youth athlete. We will have Annabel back in again for sure to chat more about her experiences and chat more about some of the more anecdotal tales, but today I really wanted to share her story from a mental health perspective so that people listening in a similar position can take some advice and comfort from her story. Enjoy this episode, as always any questions or comments you can find me on Instagram @redbeardbarbellclub and annabel is @annabel_chaffey Until next time!

Weight loss is simple, not easy! Today we chat about calorie balance. Very much training 101... But somehow this gets over complicated time and time again. We try to re-simplify it... All this as well as our usual brand of nonsense and the question 'What should a collective noun be for a group of livers?' Until next time friends!

Once again I am joined by Charlie Beestone from CB Nutrition. Today we discuss breaking a plateau in progress and offer some suggestions on how to get through them and why they might be happening. We also talk about massive ducks and tiny horses... Enjoy!

Episode 20!! We cover off a little on Vitamin D and what is may or may not do for strength and hypertrophy (you'll need a drink handy if you're playing 'it depends bingo') We also talk a lot about comparisons that we all make on ourselves and why this is probably a really good time to reflect on and move forward with plans and such. We might have actually have been helpful in this episode... sorry about that!

Welcome back! So, with me being a bit pants with my admin, it's been about a month since our last episode! With that in mind, I thought I'd try to explain around a conversation I have had a lot recently which is a correlation between strength and hypertrophy. Basically, does a bigger muscle mean a stronger muscle? You might be surprised to know the answer is 'It depends...' Charlie and I answer this in a broad stroke fashion as well as our usual brand of absolute nonsense of course. Enjoy

Short and sharp one today, now gyms are open again we wanted to go over a couple of quick cut myths in the industry that have reared their ugly heads since last Monday! Enjoy, like and subscribe! Until next time

The tired one... I'm back with Charlie B and we are talking about basics of getting strong, and of course our usual brand of tangent nonsense too! Some gems, mostly entertainment! Oh! Don't forget Charlie's workshop on the 28th 7pm, tickets available for £15 (non members, £10 for members) email contact@redbeardbarbell.co.uk to book yours!

Return to the gym... again! We speak about forming good habits, patience in training and simply moving forwards! Also, keep an eye out for Charlie B's workshop info, 28th April 7pm he will be hosting an online workshop covering off all sorts of nutritional wonders! Until next time friends

Episode 15 and we're chatting about weight maintenance! We go into detail on weight cuts and maintenance for weight class athletes, with our usual tangents along the way such as an in depth assessment of whether gravy is a sauce or not... Nothing but the best content for you, dear viewer! Enjoy

Episode 14! Charlie and I go educational (for a change!) and discuss weight training in relation to overall health and weight loss following comments and discussions I have had lately with people asking about this. Then as usual, our very own brand of nonsense to tail things off! Also, look out for Charlie's 6 week habit sprint programme to get you back on track for after lockdown!

Welcome back! Episode 13 felt like a good time to get s**t off our chest! 13 being a lucky number and all... we delve into the weird old world that is lockdown in the UK following the announcement of Boris's roadmap to freedom! Mostly drivel, but quite entertaining none the less! Stay tuned for Ep. 14 where we will actually have some educational content! :)

Welcome to episode 12 of Strength Chat! No questions this week, we opted to do another 'freestyle' chat like we did a couple of weeks ago, seemed to go down well!! We chat about things in the industry that irritate us mainly, the term 'functional fitness', rehab and semantic nonsense! Should be a laugh, hope you enjoy :)

Episode 10!! I'm back with Charlie from CB Nutrition for our 10th episode! Double figures is as good a time as any to actually tell you who we are and why we're qualified to offer advice on things! We start by talking about our qualifications (Seems relevant place to start) then quickly end up down a conversational road about the industry and some of the things that are commonly 'less correct' within it. Had a lot of fun with this and will no doubt be doing more similar style Podcasts soon! For now, sit back and enjoy, fire us your questions for next week and we'll see you then.

Episode 3 with James Barr from Impulse Fitness. We have started a conversation (Mostly ramble if I'm honest!) of things that need correcting in the industry! I'll caveat this video by saying that the intention isn't to dismiss anything, but purely to get people thinking and asking questions about traditional practices that could be improved on! We discuss slipper gloves and how they translate to the industry thought process, symmetry in athletes, performance vs skill and more. Enjoy, and please ask any questions you may have for the next time we have James on!
