The One More Rep Podcast

It's been a long time since we lasted chatted. Bro and Jenna catch up on what's been happening in life and of course throw a few digs in here and there. We also chat about "nutrition influencers" and the credibility that people give just because the amount of followers they have.  We appreciate each and every one of you and hope you guys have a great holiday!

We've all been there. We've all be faced with the decision to get something done or put it off until tomorrow.   We have all failed!   Coming off of a shutdown and on the backend of a pandemic, we have been crushed by the lack of motivation!   We are all susceptible, but that doesn't mean we should continue to allow it to ruin our daily lives!

Our bodies are unbelievable machines that are often limited by our mind. Rarely do we tap into our bodies full ability and it's all because of our brain. Today we go off script and talk about our biggest hurdle in life, US! From making excuses to not giving ourselves enough credit and basing our actions on being rewarded, this episode goes deep into the abyss.

We spend hours pushing our bodies to the limits, yet we spend so little time taking care of them. From counting macros, getting our fluids, eating whole foods, and sleep, these are all important, but so is maintaining our bodies.  Like nutrition, you don't know what you don't know, and we're finding out that people just haven't been given the tools to use.  We talk about flexibility, mobility, and stability. We dig into why each one is important, yet they are intertwined as a whole. 

How much do you really know about sleep? Of course we know we are suppose to get our 8 hours, but do you know why? There is a lot that goes into something that should be so easy to accomplish, but yet Americans fail miserably each and every day. We discuss sleep studies, why getting 8-9 hours of sleep is so important and explain the DNA differences between night owls and those crazy early morning people.

There has been a lot that's unraveling in the Crossfit world. Big changes including new CEO, Eric Roza! We did a poll on our Instagram asking a couple of different questions: Is crossfit dead? Has CrossFit changed or have people doing CF changed? We go over these answers and share our opinions on them. It seems we are headed in a positive new direction!

Bro and Jenna go into detail about the latest news in the Crossfit world including Andy Stumpf's podcast (Cleared Hot Podcast) that releases a whole new problem with the CEO of Crossfit. Opinions are shared on the athletes that have opted out of the games and the gyms that have deaffiliated and of course you get some classic Bro talking shit to Jenna  

Most, if not all of you, know that there is a lot going on in the Crossfit community in regards to Greg Glassman's tweet and email. We share our opinion on the emails, tweet, and BLM movement. This is a very sensitive subject and is probably the most anticipated podcast we have put out. These are OUR feelings and we don't claim to be right or wrong. We are always here to listen to your opinions and viewpoints. Educating each other is important! At the end of the day, just love your neighbor! 

This weeks episode we chat about the good and bad emotions that tie into crossfit. Digging into the emotional side can either push us or destroy us. Whether you are working out for GPP purposes or are a competitive athlete, it's all relevant!

Inspiration comes from many things in life and often happens when we least expect it. Inspiring others also happens daily and like inspiration, it happens to people you'd never expect. We also talk about what training should look like once you get back to the gym this week and ensure that you don't bite off too much because you're excited. We end with the price you pay being a leader and a winner. They both sound amazing until you realize what comes with it.

Episode 113 “Training through a pandemic” It's been awhile!! We are back at it with some new changes to the show! We chat about what's new since the country has been shutdown and how training during times like this was harder than ever! Jenna talks more than ever. Bro talks smack. Boy, is it GREAT to be BACK!!    

ROIDS! No matter your viewpoint, steroids are in every sport. Mo, Bro, and Jenna talks about steroid use in local comps and our viewpoints on them in general. Let us know what you think!

Have you ever nailed all your numbers only to see that one on the scale not move, or even worse, go up?!? All the time and dedication you put into meal prepping and saying no to those “things” you love feels like a waste! You're NOT alone! This episode, we dig into some simple things that you can control that you may or may not be doing. We also talk about how our bodies are in a constant state of influx and what that can do to that number on the scale.  All of this, plus ya making fun on Jenna!! What more could you ask for?!?

Episode 110: Ask us ANYTHING!   Tonight we head to social media to answer questions that YOU the listeners sent us.   We dig into an array of topics and Jenna gets all sensitive on us.   It's was truly a fun episode to record as we enjoy nothing more than answering the questions you all send us!

Episode 109 we talk about modifications and the different misconceptions that many people have. Here are just a couple: -modifying is easier -it's only for scaled athletes -subbing with any movement will give you the same result #wrong. Let us know what you think!

Goal setting   Each year, many people sit down and write out their goals. Each year, many fall way short of them, while many easily accomplish them.   This episode, we talk about how to set way points, how to diagnose issues within your set goals, and how every goal you set is actually achievable.

When we first start CrossFit, we get the bug. You all know what we mean. Can't stop talking about it to the point your family hates you and CrossFit lol.  As time goes on and we get deeper into our CrossFit journey, what use to be new and shiny is just a toy in the corner of the room that we always know will always be there.  We talk about balance of life, work, and CrossFit and how we can become out of balance if we invest too much into one by taking from the other. 

High carbs...no problem... Or is it? This episode we dig into what Brody calls the “Rich Froning Effect”. There are a lot of nutrition coaches out there helping a lot of people. But like any profession or coach, there are bad ones. Coaches think everybody needs “reverse dieting” to succeed and get their clients on wayyyy too many carbs because they are a “competitive” athlete. This leads to endless energy with some fluff along with it. Next thing you know, those gymnastics go bye bye because of the added weight. We break down how EACH person is different along with their needs and how THIER body uses/breaks down energy sources. In the end, you'll have a lot of energy if you overeat energy sources, but your fluffy friend will be along for the ride as well!  

Episode 105 “Individual vs Group Training” We talk about the pros and cons of individual vs. group training along with what we prefer best. You'll be surprised! Shout out to our new Patreon peeps for supporting us, specifically Steve Liptak, for requesting The Pink Panther theme song because that's my best one. New box goes out at the beginning of March and y'all better love it! Also, if you don't want to do the box option, we have a tip jar tier where you can donate only $2 a month!!! A pop costs more than that!! Anyways, we appreciate you guys! Let us know what you think about this episode in the comments.

This week we did another little randomish episode! We chat about moments in our crossfit careers that stick out to us the most. Some embarrassing and some shitty.

How many times have you sacrificed something you love in order to clear up more time somewhere else in your life? The pressure we feel in the moment can cause us to doubt ourselves and our actions. We live in the moment thinking “this will never end”. Facts are, we have surpassed many things in life that we thought were the worse. Many situations where we felt like they would never end. Today we talk about how to cope with stress and anxiety. How removing the one thing you love that makes you feel great is the one thing we shouldn't do. Stress, anxiety, PTSD, LIFE, can be managed, we just need to develop the tools to do so.

To train or not to train, that is the question. In a world where obesity is a critical issue you would think that any type of workout is a good one. But is it really? Often times we have one opportunity to capture people who have finally decided to take that leap and start changing their lifestyle. What happens when they have a bad experience or even worse become injured? Bad training is bad training period. We dig into the thought of “no training is better than bad training” and what that looks like.

We are BACK!!! After a few weeks off celebrating the holiday season, the crew gets back together to catch up and update everybody on what the hell has been going on with them. We discuss what's ahead for season 3 and get our first opportunity to talk smack to Jenna:) Enjoy and know that we are excited for this season and to be back recording for all of you awesome people!

Episode 99: Purpose & Efficiency When is the last time you attacked something with a purpose? What was your reason to single this one specific thing out and attack it? We see people fixated on these shiny objects in CrossFit like muscle-ups. They do all this work to get this one, singular, movement. They are so FIXATED on this that they ignore their poor movement patterns, bad positions on the rig, and sloppy technique when it comes to Olympic lifts. This episode we dig into how efficiency may not be the sexiest thing in CrossFit, but that's going to get you a hell of a lot more fit than getting that first muscle-up.

Addiction can sometimes be confused with cravings. True addictions can not be controlled and can dramatically impact your life along with the people closest to you. Food addiction opens the gates to a world of depression, anxiety, and major health issues. The cool thing is, with the right guidance, we can right the path and get back on a healthy track.

You ever have those “things” that drive you nuts in everyday life or CrossFit?!? Yea, us too! Today we piggie back on one if our most popular episodes “B!tch Session” and drop off volume 2 of this iconic episode. We dig into what annoys us about everyday life and things inside of CrossFit and boy did it feel good to blow off some steam!!

PTSD. CrossFit. Community. PTSD has been around for a long time. Though it's usually associated with our soldiers who have been scared from the brutal reality of combat, PTSD exists in everyday people who have also suffered. Dating back to WW2, “Shell Shock” was a term used and also looked down upon. Fast forward 70 years things have changed and awareness has been made, but we are light years behind where we should be when treating our men and women coming back from combat zones. Today we talk about how to cope with PTSD and how certain things can create a safety net around those who struggle with it. If you're struggling with things, do NOT hesitate to reach out to us or any of the free resources out there. VetWOD does an amazing job at creating awareness and giving people direction.

Episode 94: Leadership We all have a broad definition of what leader is and that's someone who leads people in a direction. There are “bad” leaders and there are “good” leaders. We talk about what each of those roles looks like. 

We all have done it. In CrossFit, fitness, and LIFE. What we may not realize is the impact our choice to put something off can drastically effect others that are counting on you. We also get into the nutrition side of things. Obesity is an issue here in the United States and our children are getting the brunt of it. A parents choice in food can set their kids up for failure in the future, along with their childhood. Childhood obesity and food related diseases are at an all time high and you can't blame the kids. We break down how to get out of the vicious cycle that can contribute to these issues.

We all have that one movement that we hate. We hate it because we suck at it. Some of us avoid what we suck at and some of us work to get better. 1) Write down what you need to work on. 2) Come up with a game plan as to how you are going to get better at it. 3) Work your ass off to get better at it and I guarantee once you get better, you won't hate it as much! Tell us what movement you hate the most!

You have probably already heard, but we had Eric Clauss on the show last week to go over the analytics of our podcast. When we started the show we really had no idea how many people would listen. Eric went way above and beyond with figuring out all the numbers and we are pretty pumped with the amount of growth we have seen in just a year!! Numbers are cool, but the friendships we have made because of this podcast is way more important to us. Thanks again to @clauss.eric for taking a ton of time to do this for us. We appreciate it!! #omrfam #crossfit #crossfitpodcast #crossfitgames2019 #analytics #podcastanalytics #worlddomination #gainz

This week we talk abouuttttt......wait for it..... . . WHEN YOU SHOULD FIRE YOUR CROSSFIT GYM! Bro gets Reese cupped into the Affiliate forum on Facebook and BOOM we gotta awesome topic for you guys. . . So when is enough, enough? Listen to find out....

Nutritional Pitfalls: Fat was bad for you, now it's not. Grains are good for you, until you eat too much. Carbs were bad for CrossFitters until people couldn't finish workouts. Paleo is great for you until you don't eat enough fats. We dig into this and some other nutritional nuggets that can hurt your performance along with your ascetics. Plus we make fun of Jenna.

Hard work beats talent everyday... How many times have you heard that and actually believed it? Does hard work actually beat talent or are the people saying this the ones without talent? Does talent beat those who work hard? Or do the talented athletes refuse to work hard because they are getting by on their talent? We discuss both sides of the spectrum and give you our opinion on what we think is better. Talent or hard work. You might be surprised.

Everything worth something starts with a good beginning. That should be no different than when you start your CrossFit journey. Foundations class, fundamentals, athlete training course, whatever the name, the content needs to be on point! We break it down from the beginning when these classes didn't exist to the current day where they do exist but explain how some excel and others fall short. Baseline CrossFit WOD

Episode 83: Drama We added a questionnaire on our story a couple weeks ago and asked listeners to share something that annoys them inside or outside the gym.

Episode 80: Knowing Your Limits Your gym buddy messages you and asks if you're working out today. You're super sore and your back has been hurting the last couple days, but you decide to do the workout anyways cause clearly you will have FOMO.

This week episode was completely unscripted as the Brody shared a an email with Jenna and Mo that he found on the infamous affiliate forum.  From there, we just got on the topic of a few incidents where we un-cool humans were encountered.  

Episode 75: Working Out, Training, & Competing⠀ When we think about exercise, we think about working out. What's the difference between working out and training? Are they the same? What are you training for? Can someone who works out for GPP train? Well....listen and you'll find out!
