Eric Dahl joins Niki Sims and Andrew Jackson on Beast Over Burden to share how he continues getting stronger with age, setting major PRs in his mid-40s while balancing work, family, coaching, and recovery. Eric has been part of the Barbell Logic family since 2017 and has built an impressive strength resume, including a 507-pound bench press and a 628-pound deadlift at 46 years old. But this conversation is about more than big lifts. Eric shares how strength training became his version of a midlife crisis, why hard training provides purpose, and how he has learned to adjust recovery, competition, and programming as life has changed. He also discusses his long-term coaching relationship with Caleb, his experience becoming a coach himself, and the powerful story of helping his mother-in-law begin strength training after an osteoporosis diagnosis. This episode is a reminder that strength is for everyone. Whether you are chasing PRs, training for independence, or simply looking for a meaningful outlet for hard work, getting stronger with age is possible.

Feeling off after the holidays does not mean you need to panic, crash diet, or punish yourself with extra cardio. In this Beast over Burden legacy episode, Niki Sims and Andrew Jackson talk about how lifters can reset their nutrition after the holidays while still supporting strength training, muscle, and long-term progress. They discuss the post-holiday tipping point: feeling bloated, fluffy, tired, or ready for change after a season of more food, more alcohol, less sleep, and less consistency. Instead of overcorrecting, they explain how to stabilize first, choose better metrics, and make nutrition changes that are realistic and sustainable. Niki and Andrew cover fat loss versus weight loss, waist measurements, rolling weight averages, alcohol, high-protein meals, single-ingredient foods, fruits and vegetables, weighing and measuring, hand-portion guidance, and why long-term body composition change requires time and consistency.

Strength training after 70 is not about pretending age does not matter. It is about adapting, staying consistent, and refusing to quit. In this episode of Beast Over Burden, Niki Sims and Andrew Jackson talk with Barbell Logic client Michael Taylor, a 73-year-old lifter who started strength training at 60 and has continued training through arthritis, joint pain, exercise modifications, and the normal challenges of aging. Michael shares how his training has changed over time, why he moved from some barbell lifts to machine variations, and how coaching has helped him continue training hard while managing pain and preserving quality of life. He also explains why he no longer obsesses over the weight, even though he still trains progressively and continues to hit PRs. This conversation is a powerful reminder that strength training for seniors is not about chasing your younger self. It is about building and maintaining the strength, muscle, discipline, and independence you need to live well.

Training while traveling does not have to be perfect to be useful. In this Beast over Burden legacy episode, Niki Sims and Andrew Jackson discuss how to keep training while traveling for work, vacation, or any trip that disrupts your normal routine. They explain why doing something is often better than doing nothing, especially when you want to maintain strength, muscle, momentum, and consistency. Andrew shares how his mindset shifted from "barbells or nothing" to finding a useful training stimulus wherever he is. Niki and Andrew also talk about why travel workouts can help you feel better, reduce the "travel yuck" feeling, and make it easier to return to normal training when you get home. They also cover practical strategies for finding gyms, using hotel gyms, packing simple training gear, doing full-body workouts, using supersets and drop sets, and focusing on effort instead of exact weight.

Most men know when something isn't right. The problem is they often wait. A checkup gets pushed to next month. A difficult conversation gets delayed. The little voice in the back of the head gets ignored until it can't be ignored anymore. This June, the Canadian Men's Health Foundation is asking Canadians to get their Suspenders On — a simple visual reminder that men are never meant to carry everything alone. In this episode, Mike Cameron and Trevor Botkin sit down with the men behind the campaign: Graham Love and John Armstrong of Armstrong Strategy Group, who built Suspenders On from the ground up, and Andrew Jackson of Jackson Events, who's helping rally NHL alumni and other Canadian athletes to put their suspenders on too. The idea started six weeks before launch, in a brainstorm at the Armstrong office. Graham thought of his grandfather — a Glaswegian shipbuilder who wore suspenders so often the marks were on his back. The image stuck, the campaign followed. What the conversation reveals is everything underneath it. John Armstrong tells the story of a pact he made with a colleague who needed to see a doctor: if you go, I'll go. The appointment that followed caught John's prostate cancer in time. Graham wears his suspenders for his brother Andrew, who died of liver cancer in 2022 and who Graham believes might still be here if anyone had nudged him sooner. Andrew Jackson opens up about a friend who made him promise to see a doctor before he died of stomach cancer at 56, about losing hockey alumnus Claude Lemieux just days before recording, and about a moment in his own office when a colleague asked him what the hell is wrong with you, and he finally let it out. Some of what they talk about: The joke that captures the whole campaign: "Women go to the doctor for the same reason men don't; in case there's something wrong" Why high performers in sports, business, and the trades are especially good at carrying things they shouldn't The relief that arrives the moment a man finally says it out loud How "I'll deal with it later" becomes the most dangerous sentence in men's health Get your Suspenders On this June.

Getting lean and looking jacked is possible, but it comes with real tradeoffs. In this Beast over Burden legacy episode, Niki Sims and Andrew Jackson discuss what it really takes to build a lean, muscular physique, using Jake Gyllenhaal's Road House transformation as the hook. They explain why many lifters see a shredded actor or fighter and assume the answer is to cut weight immediately. But if you want to look lean and muscular, you usually need to build enough muscle first. That may mean a long hypertrophy phase, slow weight gain, hard training, consistent eating, and then a later fat-loss phase. Niki and Andrew also talk about the cost of getting extremely lean: hunger, lower energy, weaker training, worse sleep, strict nutrition, social tradeoffs, and the mental trap of comparing your normal body to a short-term peak. This episode is a realistic discussion of muscle gain, fat loss, body composition, and deciding what kind of body—and life—you actually want.

A vasectomy is supposed to be simple. So why does it sometimes turn into ice packs, nausea, and that unmistakable “my body is rejecting this” feeling? We get candid about what the snip can feel like in real life, including the vasovagal reaction some people get with blood, needles, and certain sensations. It's funny, but it's also practical: what to expect, what's normal, and why it can still be 100% worth it even if you hated the experience. From there we chase the thread into nitrous oxide laughing gas, how it went from party trick to legit medical and dental sedation, and why the internet is obsessed with anything that promises fast relief. That sets up a bigger conversation about viral health hacks like “grounding” by standing on Epsom salt or sea salt. We're all for rituals that feel good, but we break down the moment a soothing habit turns into a sweeping claim about inflammation, serotonin, cortisol, and “toxins” that's designed to trigger fear and engagement. Then the episode does what we do best: it swerves into nostalgia and culture, including The Red Green Show, duct tape inventions, and yes, DeLoreans. Somehow that leads to duels, mutual combat laws, and a surprisingly grim detour through American history, including Andrew Jackson, the Trail of Tears, and how myths can hide real harm. We cap it off with Alberta separatism talk and a running side quest for bean and pasta sponsors. If you like smart comedy that still calls out bad ideas, hit play, subscribe, share with a friend, and leave a review so more people can find the show.

Strength training for life longevity is not about chasing personal records forever—it's about learning how to train in a way that actually lasts. In this episode of Beast Over Burden, Niki Sims and Andrew Jackson talk with Barbell Logic coach Brian Hosford about his journey from Strongman to a more sustainable, long-term approach to training. What started as lifting odd objects, flipping tires, and pushing absolute limits has evolved into a smarter, more adaptable strategy focused on consistency, recovery, and staying strong for decades. The conversation explores how strength training must change over time. As you move into your forties and beyond, recovery becomes more important, injuries take longer to heal, and pushing harder is not always the answer. Brian shares how he adjusts training—using variations like belt squats, managing volume, and shifting intensity—to continue making progress without burning out. Niki and Andrew also dive into the psychological side of training. What happens when PRs slow down? How do you stay motivated when progress looks different than it used to? This episode reframes strength as more than just numbers on the bar—focusing instead on consistency, resilience, and long-term capability. A major theme throughout the episode is coaching. Brian explains how effective coaching is not about forcing a rigid program, but about translating a person's life, goals, and limitations into a plan they can actually follow. From busy professionals to older lifters, the best results come from programs that adapt to real life—not the other way around. Strength training for life longevity means training for your family, your career, and your future—not just your next workout. It's about building strength that supports your life outside the gym and allows you to keep showing up year after year. If you want to keep lifting, stay strong, and avoid burnout as you age, this episode will show you how to train smarter—and for the long haul.

In 250 jaar jaar telden de Verenigde Staten van Amerika 47 presidenten. Wie waren zij? Hoe deden ze het, als staatshoofd en als politiek leider? Wie van hen zetten écht de toon? En hoe kijken wij nu naar mensen als Abraham Lincoln, Harry Truman, Richard Nixon en Donald Trump? Jaap Jansen en PG Kroeger praten hierover met professor Michael Nelson van Rhodes College in Memphis, eminent kenner, auteur en samensteller van reeksen boeken over het ambt, de impact en het leven van presidenten. *** This is a Dutch podcast, but from minute 6 on, the conversation is in English.

Hoe deze in te vullen, wist eigenlijk niemand. Michael Nelson schetst kleurrijk hoe George Washington dit allemaal zelf moest uitvinden en hoe hij wonderlijk goed erin slaagde die rol ook voor zijn opvolgers inhoud, richting en stijl te geven. Na hem zouden anderen deze functie verder kleur geven. Andrew Jackson (1829-1837) ging met veto's in tegen het Congres, als anti-elite politicus. Teddy Roosevelt (1901 - 1909) was de man die als moderne populist nieuwe media als magazines en zelfs film ging inzetten. Zijn neef Franklin Roosevelt (1933 - 1945) professionaliseerde het Witte Huis als zijn persoonlijke apparaat en machtscentrum, zelfs op wereldschaal. Elke president nadien is zo hun opvolger. Nelson relativeert hoe 'zwaar' de baan van de president is. Het Witte Huis levert immers een gedegen machinerie die de bewoner bijna alles uit handen kan nemen. Wel zie je dat presidenten er soms vereenzamen, opgesloten raken in hun stress en daardoor ongelukkig en stuurloos worden. De baan laat het karakter van een president heel zichtbaar worden. "President worden, onthult wie je echt bent," zegt Nelson. Zo bleek de eenvoudige Harry Truman ongedachte kwaliteiten van leiderschap en daadkracht te hebben, terwijl Richard Nixon zeker een briljant politicus was, maar in de greep raakte van zijn demonen. Donald Trump is volgens Nelson een fundamentele breuk: hij voelt niet aan wat de rol van staatshoofd betekent. Kenmerkend noemt hij hoe Trump '250 jaar VS’ viert. Niet het ideaal van ‘leven, vrijheid en het nastreven van geluk' staat centraal, maar zijn persoonlijk hobbyisme. "Hij wil bij leven nog overal zijn naam op de gevels gedrukt zien." De historische dynamiek en de vaste waarden in het ambt van president hebben grote invloed op ons oordeel over hoe die 47 heren hun rol als politiek leider en staatshoofd invulden. We kijken meestal terug vanuit de politieke normen van onze eigen tijd. Daardoor daalt en stijgt de reputatie van verschillende van hen soms verrassend. Presidenten als Ulysses Grant, Harry Truman en Dwight Eisenhower bijvoorbeeld, werden pas later veel meer gewaardeerd. Wat Nelson betreft staan eigenlijk alleen de drie min of meer permanent hoogst beoordeelden op een vast voetstuk. "Washington, Lincoln en Franklin Roosevelt blijven het rolmodel. Zij moesten alle drie het ambt in ongekende omstandigheden bekleden en dat deden ze briljant. En ja, ze stierven meteen, dat hielp hun reputatie ook wel." Michael Nelson heeft voor de luisteraars nog een reeks niet te missen tips. Bij welke bibliotheek van welke president moet je echt gaan kijken? Welke biografie van welke president niet overslaan? Maar ook: wie wil Trump echt als zijn opvolger kronen en waarom niét JD Vance? Maar wat doet Frank Sinatra in deze aflevering? *** Verder lezen Het boek dat het beste aansluit bij deze aflevering is The American Presidency: Origins and Development, 1776-2025.

Busy dads do not need a perfect schedule to get strong. They need a realistic plan they can actually follow. In this episode of Beast Over Burden, Niki Sims and Andrew Jackson talk with guest Nick Hammer about strength training for busy dads and how fathers can balance training, work, family, and real-life responsibilities without giving up on their health. Many dads want to train, but their old approach no longer fits. Sleep is less predictable. Schedules are tighter. Work and family demands are higher. Nick shares how dads can rethink training so it supports fatherhood instead of competing with it. The conversation covers why consistency matters more than the perfect program, how to make training fit a busy season of life, and why strength is about more than gym numbers. For fathers, strength training helps build the capacity to show up better at home, at work, and in the responsibilities that matter most. Niki, Andrew, and Nick also discuss the mindset shift busy dads need: training is not selfish when it helps you become stronger, healthier, and more capable for the people who depend on you. The goal is not to train like you have unlimited time. The goal is to build a repeatable, sustainable approach that helps you keep going for the long haul. Listen to this episode of Beast Over Burden to learn how busy dads can stay strong, train consistently, and build fitness that supports the life they actually live.

Recovery for strength training is one of the biggest factors in whether you actually adapt to hard work in the gym. In this Beast over Burden legacy episode, Niki Sims and Andrew Jackson talk through the stress-recovery-adaptation cycle and explain why recovery often determines how much training stress a lifter can handle. More work is not always the answer. Sometimes progress depends more on sleep, nutrition, calories, protein, stress management, alcohol intake, and honest expectations about what your life can currently support. Andrew explains how coaches think about training stress, hard sets, progressive overload, and recovery constraints. Niki and Andrew also discuss why lifters may need to adjust the weight on the bar when travel, poor sleep, high stress, or low energy change the day's capacity. They also cover active recovery, walking, long-term training habits, and why popular recovery tools like cold plunges should not distract from the basics.

In this clip from See You In Court, Professor Stephen Vladeck addresses one of the most serious questions in constitutional law: what happens if a president refuses to follow a court ruling? The conversation begins with the famous Andrew Jackson quote often repeated in discussions about presidential power and court authority. Professor Vladeck explains why that history is more complicated than the quote suggests, then connects the issue to today's debate over courts, presidential power, and the rule of law.

This Day in Legal History: The Indian Removal Act of 1830On this day May 28, 1830, President Andrew Jackson signed the Indian Removal Act, authorizing the federal government to “negotiate” the relocation of Native American tribes east of the Mississippi to lands in what is now Oklahoma. On its face the statute framed displacement as voluntary, treaty-based, and compensated; in practice it became the legal scaffolding for the forced expulsion of the Cherokee, Choctaw, Chickasaw, Creek, and Seminole nations, culminating in the Trail of Tears.The bill passed the House by just five votes, with Davy Crockett among its most prominent dissenters. The years that immediately followed produced the Marshall Court's foundational Indian law trilogy — Johnson v. M'Intosh, Cherokee Nation v. Georgia, and Worcester v. Georgia — the last of which Jackson famously (and probably apocryphally) refused to enforce. The doctrinal residue of the Removal era is still in force today: tribes remain “domestic dependent nations,” Congress still claims a “plenary power” over them, and the Supreme Court is still relitigating what reservation boundaries actually mean — most recently in McGirt v. Oklahoma in 2020 and Haaland v. Brackeen in 2023. The 1830 Act was not the beginning of dispossession in North America, but it was the moment Congress took ownership of the policy and dressed it in the language of statute. Whatever else May 28 marks on the calendar, in legal history it marks the day removal became American law.Dutch coatings giant AkzoNobel, the maker of Dulux paint, told Sherwin-Williams and Nippon Paint Wednesday that their €12.5 billion ($14.6 billion) joint takeover proposal is not a “superior proposal” and that the board would stay the course on its already-agreed merger with Axalta Coating Systems. The rejected offer, made at €73 per share, would have carved AkzoNobel up — Nippon taking the decorative paints business, Sherwin-Williams taking industrial coatings — and was the second pass after an earlier bid that the board had swatted away in April.AkzoNobel's reasons read like a Dutch corporate-law primer: the offer “did not come close to adequately reflecting” long-term value, the deal-certainty risk around regulatory clearances was too high, and the “interests of AkzoNobel stakeholders” were not adequately safeguarded. That last word is the legal tell. Under Dutch law, a listed company's board is not bound by anything resembling Delaware's Revlon duty to maximize shareholder value in a sale; it answers to a stakeholder model that explicitly weighs employees, creditors, suppliers, and the long-term interests of the enterprise alongside the shareholders. That gives a Dutch board far more room to reject a premium cash bid than a comparable U.S. target would have, especially with a friendly all-stock merger of equals (the Axalta deal) already on the table.The combined AkzoNobel-Axalta entity, announced last November and worth roughly $25 billion, plans to list on the NYSE with dual HQs in Amsterdam and Philadelphia and Dutch tax residency — a structure that itself preserves the Dutch governance model post-close. The CMA in the U.K. has already opened a public comment period on the Axalta deal, and antitrust review is likely the live front to watch from here.AkzoNobel Snubs €12.5B Sherwin-Williams, Nippon Paint Bid | Law360The Trump administration is preparing to halt federal immigration and customs processing at airports located in jurisdictions it deems “sanctuary cities” or “sanctuary states,”, according to a report Reuters published. The mechanism, if implemented, would have Customs and Border Protection officers stop staffing inbound international arrival processing — meaning international passengers landing at, say, San Francisco, Boston, or Seattle would be unable to clear customs at those airports and would have to be diverted. The legal architecture here is unusual because CBP staffing decisions sit at the discretionary end of federal administrative law: the agency has wide latitude to deploy officers where it wants, and there is no statutory entitlement for any particular city to host a federal port of entry.That said, a decision to use that discretion as punishment for a state or municipality's refusal to honor ICE detainers would invite a familiar set of challenges — South Dakota v. Dole-style coercion arguments dressed up as preemption, anti-commandeering claims under Murphy v. NCAA and Printz v. United States, and APA challenges under State Farm to whatever administrative record the agency assembles. Several of the targeted jurisdictions have already won injunctions in earlier rounds of sanctuary-city funding fights, including against the prior conditioning of Byrne JAG grants on detainer compliance. The political move is obvious; the legal move is less so, and the administration will need to articulate a non-pretextual reason for the staffing change if it wants to survive arbitrary-and-capricious review. Whether airlines, airport authorities, or the states themselves will have standing to sue — and what kind of irreparable harm a redirected flight inflicts — is going to be the first set of questions a court has to answer.US draws up plans to halt immigration, customs processing at ‘sanctuary city' airports | ReutersThe Supreme Court reversed and remanded the Fourth Circuit's decision reviving the National Association of Immigration Judges' First Amendment challenge to a federal rule restricting what sitting immigration judges may say publicly about the agency that employs them. The per curiam opinion's holding is narrow but striking: the Fourth Circuit, the justices said, committed an abuse of discretion by reviving the suit on a theory neither party briefed, a “drastic departure from the principle of party presentation” laid out in cases like United States v. Sineneng-Smith. The party-presentation principle is one of those background structural rules that doesn't get a lot of airtime — the basic idea is that federal courts are passive instruments that decide the cases the parties bring them, not the cases judges wish the parties had brought — but here it became outcome-determinative.Justice Clarence Thomas, joined by Justice Amy Coney Barrett, wrote separately to say the Fourth Circuit was also wrong on the merits because it ignored Elgin v. Department of the Treasury, the 2012 decision holding that the Civil Service Reform Act's administrative-channeling regime is the exclusive route for covered federal employees to challenge adverse employment actions, even constitutional ones. The practical effect is that the immigration judges' union now has to litigate its First Amendment claim through the Merit Systems Protection Board and then the Federal Circuit rather than in district court, and the case bounces back to the Fourth Circuit to redo the analysis on whatever ground the parties did actually raise. The Court also denied a cross-petition from the union. The case is Margolin v. National Association of Immigration Judges, No. 25-767; the merits cross-petition was No. 25-1009.Justices Order Redo In Immigration Judges' Free Speech Suit | Law360A Sixth Circuit panel on Tuesday affirmed the dismissal of an attempt by Right to Life of Michigan and a group of parents to block enforcement of Proposal 3, the 2022 Michigan ballot initiative that wrote a fundamental right to reproductive freedom into Article I, Section 28 of the state constitution. The panel did not reach the merits — the case stopped at standing — and the opinion, written by Judge John K. Bush, is a clean illustration of how high the Article III standing bar is for pre-enforcement challenges of this kind. Standing requires the plaintiff to show an injury that is fairly traceable to the defendant's conduct and likely to be redressed by a favorable decision, and the parents here couldn't make the traceability link work: their theory was that the amendment might allow schools or other actors to help minors obtain contraception or abortion care without parental consent, but the complaint identified no specific enforcement action by Governor Whitmer, Attorney General Nessel, or Secretary of State Benson that was causing or threatening any such injury.The panel reiterated the Lujan v. Defenders of Wildlife framework and quoted approvingly the rule that a “general allegation” that an executive officer is “generally responsible for executing” state law does not, by itself, establish standing to sue that officer. The court also rejected the plaintiffs' attempt to bootstrap standing off the AG's and governor's authority to enforce Michigan's consumer protection and civil rights statutes, calling those allegations too speculative. This is going to be the template for the next several rounds of post-Dobbs challenges to state constitutional reproductive-rights amendments: the merits questions about scope and federal preemption will keep coming, but plaintiffs are going to need a concrete enforcement target to even get a hearing.6th Circ.

STREAMING MAKING OF JBS, FEATURING THADDEUS MCCOTTER, 5-26-26.1919 VERSAILLES AFTERWARD.The current conflict in the Strait of Hormuz is described as a "tangle of talking, fighting, and arguing." While President Trump recently suggested he was "close to clinching" a major deal with Iran, the situation remains volatile; shortly after those remarks, the US bombed Iranian missile launch sites and boats to counter threats in the Strait. These military actions highlight the tenuous nature of mediation efforts aimed at securing a 60-day ceasefire, which would ideally reopen the waterway and lay the foundation for future nuclear talks. Host John Batchelor compares these ongoing negotiations to those of the Korean conflict, which began in 1950 and has yet to reach a final resolution.Thaddeus McCotter argues that the US administration has failed to effectively communicate its concrete war aims, leading to domestic confusion. While the administration originally cited Iran's suspect nuclear weapons program as the primary casus belli in February, the focus has shifted toward the economic impact of the Strait's closure. The closure has left hundreds of ships marooned, threatening the global supply chain for fertilizer and high-end goods. McCotter notes that most Americans are "practical people" who judge the conflict based on the cost of living and prices at the gas pump, which will ultimately be an "accounting" factor in the upcoming November elections.The Iranian regime is viewed by McCotter as an untrustworthy partner that treats its nuclear program as an "umbrella" to shield its exportation of terrorism and regional destabilization. He suggests that Iran believes "time is on their side" and may be using economic pain as leverage during the US election cycle. There is also concern that the US may be transitioning toward "tolerating nukes in Tehran" if it cannot find a way to destroy Iran's ability to recreate its nuclear program "root and branch."Domestically, President Trump is "playing a hot hand," using his influence to shape the Republican Party's future through primary endorsements. For instance, he endorsed Ken Paxton against John Cornyn in Texas, signaling an effort to define the party's standard-bearers for 2027. McCotter observes that while Trump has been successful in these primaries, the real test will be whether that success translates to the general election in November.Looking ahead to 2028, the conversation anticipates a "lame duck" period in which legislative agendas may stall if the opposition captures Congress. The Republican succession battle is expected to involve figures heavily identified with Trump, such as Marco Rubio and J.D. Vance. McCotter predicts that Trump's personality will lead him to "anoint" a successor, much as Andrew Jackson did with Martin Van Buren, rather than remaining neutral in the selection process. This political maneuvering is happening against a backdrop of ongoing "kinetic engagement" in the Middle East that lacks broad public attention or clear objectives.

Strength training over 50 can feel nearly impossible when life is busy and unpredictable. Work schedules change, sleep gets disrupted, and responsibilities pile up. Many people assume they need a perfect routine to make progress—but the reality is the opposite. In this episode of Beast Over Burden, Niki Sims and Andrew Jackson talk with Barbell Logic client John Eckford, a busy surgeon in his mid-50s, about what it really looks like to train consistently without a perfect schedule. Despite long shifts, overnight call, and an unpredictable workload, John has continued strength training for years—and is still getting stronger. The conversation explores how strength training over 50 requires a different approach than it does in your twenties or thirties. Recovery becomes more important, training needs to be sustainable, and flexibility becomes essential. John shares how he adjusts his workouts around his schedule, when to push and when to back off, and how focusing on recovery has helped him continue making progress. Niki and Andrew also discuss how training evolves with age. Instead of constantly doing more, success often comes from doing the right amount consistently. Spreading workouts across the week, keeping sessions manageable, and avoiding burnout allows lifters to keep progressing long term. The episode also touches on key factors like sleep, nutrition, and lifestyle habits. As you get older, these become critical for both performance and recovery. John explains how improving these areas has helped him feel better, train harder, and maintain strength despite a demanding career. Strength training over 50 is not about perfect conditions or ideal routines. It is about learning how to adapt, stay consistent through life's challenges, and build a system that works for you. If you have ever struggled to stay consistent with lifting because of a busy or unpredictable schedule, this episode will show you how to keep training—and keep getting stronger—for the long haul.

Walking 10,000 steps a day may be one of the simplest ways to improve health, recovery, conditioning, and consistency. In this Beast over Burden legacy episode, Niki Sims and Andrew Jackson discuss why walking matters for lifters. Andrew shares what he learned from averaging 10,000 steps a day for a full year, including better recovery, improved conditioning between lifting sets, more stable body composition, better mood, and stronger daily routines. They also explain why walking is such a useful tool for busy adults: it is simple, accessible, low-impact, easy to scale, and unlikely to interfere with strength training. For lifters who want better health and longevity without adding complicated conditioning, walking is often the best place to start.

What does lifting in your 50s and 60s actually look like after a full decade under the bar? In this episode of Beast Over Burden's Lifting for the Long Haul series, Niki Sims and Andrew Jackson sit down with Marty Curran—Barbell Logic client, gym owner, coach, and competitive masters lifter—to talk about what nearly 10 years of coached barbell training has taught him about strength, aging, recovery, and longevity. Marty shares how he went from over 300 pounds, to dramatic weight loss, to discovering that being lighter wasn't enough—he needed strength. From there, he built a decade-long journey through coaching, competition, shoulder surgery, evolving programming, and learning how to adapt as recovery changes with age. This conversation explores the realities of lifting in your 50s and 60s, including how to manage intensity, why coaching becomes even more valuable as you age, how recovery changes, and why competition or meaningful goals can keep training purposeful for life. If you've ever wondered how to keep lifting, competing, and staying strong as you get older, this episode offers a real-world look at what it takes.

Political Scientist Steve Knott has a new book that focuses on conspiracy theories within the American presidency and often promulgated by the president himself. This is not, per se, a book about conspiracy theories in general, but about the narratives that presidents have used—that constitutes a kind of conspiracy thinking—to engage voters and push for particular policy ideas and outcomes. Conspirator in Chief: The Long Tradition of Conspiracy Theories in the American Presidency (UP Kansas, 2025) spans the entire history of the United States, paying close attention to presidents Thomas Jefferson, Andrew Jackson, Andrew Johnson, Woodrow Wilson, Franklin Roosevelt and Harry Truman, Richard Nixon, and finally Donald Trump. These particular presidents, both during their administrations and after, made use of conspiracies and/or demagogic rhetoric to encourage their supporters and to appeal to public fears. As Knott notes, Alexander Hamilton warns against this in both Federalist #1 and Federalist #85, wrapping the discussion of the new Constitution in concerns with regard to demagoguery. So many of the conspiracies that are pushed by presidents have at their base racism and an effort to fan the flames of racial fear and resentment. Jefferson, Jackson, Johnson, and Wilson all made use of racism as a part of their conspiracies. Conspirator in Chief: The Long Tradition of Conspiracy Theories in the American Presidency also mines the deep vein of conspiracy theories around moneyed and elite interests, since many presidents cast these interests as predatory and “out to get” the average citizen. This is another constant approach among the presidents from the early days of the republic through to our contemporary “conspirator in chief” Donald Trump. Part of the way that presidents use these kinds of conspiracies is to set up a dichotomy of those who are with the president and those who are against the president, and this latter group is, inevitably, also opposed to the country as a whole and the way of life in the United States. Knott explains that this was the kind of rhetoric that both FDR and Truman used in their implementation of this kind of conspiratorial rhetoric. This also leans on national security as a point of contention, and that those in opposition to the president or the president's policies are also potential threats to the republic. This is another dimension that Trump builds on in his use of this kind of rhetoric and division. In the final part of Conspirator in Chief, Knott sketches out those presidents who go far in standing against this kind of language and these kinds of attacks. Included in this grouping are John Quincy Adams, Abraham Lincoln, William Howard Taft, and John F. Kennedy, among others. These individuals leaned into reason more than rumormongering, examining their own biases, and also pointing to the conspiracies that others were advocating. While we learn a great deal about demagogic presidents who stirred up conspiracies based in racism, fear, antisemitism, and classism, we also learn about those who operated differently, who tried to protect the country from such divisive rhetoric.

Political Scientist Steve Knott has a new book that focuses on conspiracy theories within the American presidency and often promulgated by the president himself. This is not, per se, a book about conspiracy theories in general, but about the narratives that presidents have used—that constitutes a kind of conspiracy thinking—to engage voters and push for particular policy ideas and outcomes. Conspirator in Chief: The Long Tradition of Conspiracy Theories in the American Presidency (UP Kansas, 2025) spans the entire history of the United States, paying close attention to presidents Thomas Jefferson, Andrew Jackson, Andrew Johnson, Woodrow Wilson, Franklin Roosevelt and Harry Truman, Richard Nixon, and finally Donald Trump. These particular presidents, both during their administrations and after, made use of conspiracies and/or demagogic rhetoric to encourage their supporters and to appeal to public fears. As Knott notes, Alexander Hamilton warns against this in both Federalist #1 and Federalist #85, wrapping the discussion of the new Constitution in concerns with regard to demagoguery. So many of the conspiracies that are pushed by presidents have at their base racism and an effort to fan the flames of racial fear and resentment. Jefferson, Jackson, Johnson, and Wilson all made use of racism as a part of their conspiracies.

Why We Stopped Cheering for Heroes | The Psychology of the Anti-Hero & Cultural Collapse . What if our obsession with anti-heroes isn't entertainment at all… but psychological confession? . Why did millions secretly cheer for Walter White after he poisoned a child? Why do cultures increasingly trust the man who "refuses to come back" from the darkness? And what happens to a civilization when it stops believing in the final stage of the Hero's Journey? . In this episode of The Polymathic Perspective, Dov Baron examines why modern audiences no longer resonate with heroes who return transformed, but instead become emotionally attached to characters who descend into darkness and stay there.  . Through the polymathic lenses of Depth Psychology, Cultural Narrative, Political Identity, history, and Emotional Source Code™, this episode explores: Why anti-heroes function as psychological permission slips  The hidden meaning behind our fascination with Walter White, Tony Soprano, Don Draper, The Joker, and Beth Dutton  How entertainment acts as emotional rehearsal, not escape  The rise of the "Disenfranchised Self."  Why authoritarian leaders psychologically mirror the modern anti-hero  The emotional mechanism behind Andrew Jackson's rise, and why it still matters  How wounded populations search for vessels to reclaim their denied identity  Why collapsing trust in institutions changes the stories cultures consume  The dangerous psychological seduction of coherence during uncertainty  What happens when a culture no longer believes anyone is waiting "at the fire" for the hero's return  . This episode is about the emotional architecture beneath modern identity, politics, leadership, belonging, and cultural fragmentation. . If you've ever felt yourself pulled toward characters who break rules, reject systems, or stop pretending entirely, this conversation may explain why. . Because the real danger isn't the anti-hero. The real danger is a culture that no longer believes transformation is possible. Key Themes Anti-heroes and modern identity  Emotional Source Code™  The Disenfranchised Self  Political psychology  Cultural collapse  Hero's Journey vs anti-hero narrative  Meaning-making and identity  Psychological projection  Leadership and authoritarianism  Entertainment as emotional rehearsal  Joseph Campbell and modern culture  Psychological coherence in unstable systems .

Consistency is one of the most powerful forces in strength training, yet it's also one of the hardest things to maintain over time. Work demands increase, families grow, travel disrupts routines, and life rarely provides the perfect conditions for training. Many lifters begin with enthusiasm but struggle to sustain their progress when real life gets busy. In this episode of Beast Over Burden, Niki Sims and Andrew Jackson talk with Barbell Logic client Seth Hible about what it means to commit to strength training for life. Seth began coaching in 2019 and has remained remarkably consistent for more than seven years, completing the vast majority of his assigned workouts despite balancing a demanding career, military service, travel, and family responsibilities. The conversation explores how long-term consistency is built through adaptability rather than perfection. Seth shares how he has maintained training while traveling internationally, navigating leadership responsibilities in the National Guard, raising a family, and teaching high school students. Instead of allowing those disruptions to derail his training, he learned how to modify workouts, find gyms wherever he traveled, and stay committed to the process. Niki and Andrew also discuss how strength training evolves over time. As lifters get older, recovery demands change and programming often needs to be adjusted. Seth talks about how his training shifted from higher-frequency lifting to a more sustainable schedule that allows him to continue progressing while protecting recovery. Throughout the conversation, Seth reflects on how strength training builds resilience far beyond the gym. Learning to push through difficult sessions, recover from missed lifts, and continue showing up week after week creates a mindset that carries into other areas of life. That discipline helps reinforce the values of responsibility, perseverance, and personal growth. The episode also explores how motivations change as lifters move through different stages of life. Earlier in his journey, Seth focused on chasing personal records and building impressive numbers on the bar. Today his priorities have shifted toward longevity, health, and maintaining the ability to stay active with his family and grandchildren. Strength training for life is not about perfect programs or constant personal records. It is about showing up consistently, adapting when circumstances change, and continuing to move your body in ways that support long-term health and purpose. If you've ever wondered how people maintain strength training for years while managing work, family, travel, and aging, this episode offers a powerful example of what long-term commitment to the barbell can look like.

Strength training for golfers is one of the most overlooked ways to improve performance on the course. Many golfers still believe that lifting weights will make them stiff or hurt their swing—but the reality is the opposite. Getting stronger is one of the fastest ways to increase club head speed, gain distance, and improve overall athleticism. In this episode of Beast Over Burden, Niki Sims and Andrew Jackson talk with Barbell Logic client and PGA golf coach Jimmy Wisinski about how strength training for golfers directly translates to better performance. Jimmy shares his journey from program hopping and plateauing in the gym to breaking through strength barriers and regaining the power he had in his college years. The conversation explores how strength training impacts force production, which ultimately drives club head speed and distance. Even small increases in swing speed can add meaningful yardage, and over the course of a round, that can significantly impact scoring. Jimmy also explains how professional golfers today are lifting heavier than ever, and why strength training has become standard across the PGA and LPGA tours. Niki and Andrew dig into how Jimmy balances training with a demanding schedule as a full-time golf coach. With long days on his feet and high mental load, his program emphasizes efficiency, consistency, and recovery. Rather than doing more, he focuses on doing the right amount of work and adjusting based on fatigue, workload, and season. The episode also highlights the importance of coaching. As a coach himself, Jimmy recognized that having an outside perspective helped him break through plateaus, push beyond his comfort zone, and stay consistent. The parallels between coaching in the gym and coaching on the golf course provide valuable insight for both athletes and coaches alike. Strength training for golfers is not just about lifting weights—it is about building power, improving confidence, and creating a foundation for long-term performance. Whether you are trying to hit the ball farther, stay competitive as you get older, or simply feel better on and off the course, this episode shows how strength training can help you get there.

“For Jefferson, Hamilton is not a hated enemy to be opposed or destroyed, but a respected adversary to be debated with. And that is the spirit we have to get back to today.” — Jeffrey Rosen Jeffrey Rosen is one of the most respected constitutional scholars in America — CEO Emeritus of the National Constitution Center, professor of law at George Washington University Law School, contributing editor at The Atlantic, and the author of nine books, including the New York Times bestsellers The Pursuit of Happiness and The Pursuit of Liberty. In this conversation, Rosen traces the Hamilton–Jefferson rivalry from the founding era to the Roberts Court, asks whether the current administration looks more like Caesar or Andrew Jackson, makes the case that deep reading may be the last best hope for democracy, and previews his forthcoming biography of Ruth Bader Ginsburg. It is the kind of conversation that reminds you what civic discourse, at its best, can actually look like.

Rosen frames the central question about the current administration: is this a Caesar who subverts the separation of powers and rules by whim rather than law, or a Jackson-style populist who attacks elites and large institutions but ultimately operates within the constitutional system? The distinction, Rosen argues, matters enormously. The Hamilton–Jefferson divide is still very much alive. The debate between liberal and strict construction of the Constitution did not begin with originalism. It began with the bank. Hamilton argued Congress could imply powers beyond what's enumerated; Jefferson said no. John Marshall sided with Hamilton, and that fault line runs directly through today's Supreme Court. The pursuit of happiness meant something very different to the Founders. For Jefferson, Madison, and their classical sources, happiness was not about feeling good. It was about being good — cultivating temperance, prudence, courage, and justice, and using reason to moderate unproductive emotions like anger, envy, and fear. Social media is Madison's nightmare. Madison designed a system of deliberative slowness. Social media's “enraged to engage” business model is the precise opposite. Rosen adds that AI compounds the problem by presenting a single probabilistic version of truth rather than fostering the clash of competing ideas that the Enlightenment depended on. Brandeis offers a way out of the left–right impasse. Suspicious of both big government and big business, and committed to industrial democracy and worker ownership, Louis Brandeis remains the historical figure who most persuasively bridges the divide between libertarians and progressives. Opposed in life as in death. Hamilton and Jefferson spent careers savaging each other. Yet after Hamilton's death, Jefferson placed a bust of Hamilton across from his own at Monticello. That image — honored adversaries, not enemies — is the model Rosen believes the country desperately needs to recover. About Our Guest Jeffrey Rosen is President and CEO Emeritus of the National Constitution Center, a professor of law at George Washington University Law School, and a contributing editor at The Atlantic. He is the author of nine books, including The Pursuit of Happiness, The Pursuit of Liberty, and Louis D. Brandeis: American Prophet.

Four presidents were killed while in office:• Abraham Lincoln (1865)Shot by John Wilkes Booth at Ford's Theatre just days after the Civil War effectively ended. The timing alone makes it feel like history couldn't wait to pivot. • James A. Garfield (1881)Shot by Charles J. Guiteau. Garfield didn't die immediately. He lingered for weeks, and many historians believe poor medical treatment contributed to his death as much as the bullet did. • William McKinley (1901)Shot by anarchist Leon Czolgosz at the Pan-American Exposition. Another delayed death, another moment where medicine lagged behind the crisis. • John F. Kennedy (1963)Shot in Dallas by Lee Harvey Oswald. This is the one that never really settled into history. It still hums in the background of American culture like an unresolved chord. ________________________________________Presidents Who Survived Assassination AttemptsA longer list, and in some ways, a more revealing one.• Andrew Jackson (1835)The first attempted assassination of a sitting president. The attacker's guns misfired. Jackson reportedly responded by beating the man with his cane. Not exactly a Secret Service moment. • Theodore Roosevelt (1912, while campaigning)Shot in the chest, then delivered a speech anyway. The bullet was slowed by a folded speech manuscript and a glasses case in his pocket. A literal case of paperwork saving a life. • Franklin D. Roosevelt (1933, president-elect)Shot at in Miami. He wasn't hit, but Chicago mayor Anton Cermak was killed. A reminder that these events rarely stay contained. • Harry S. Truman (1950)Puerto Rican nationalists attacked Blair House, where Truman was staying. A White House police officer was killed in the firefight. • Gerald Ford (1975, twice in one month)Two separate attempts in California, both by women, both failing. Statistically bizarre, historically overlooked. • Ronald Reagan (1981)Shot by John Hinckley Jr.. Reagan survived, but the bullet came terrifyingly close to killing him. The incident reshaped modern presidential security. • Bill Clinton (1994)Shots fired at the White House by Francisco Martin Duran. Clinton wasn't harmed. • George W. Bush (2005)A grenade was thrown during a speech in Georgia (the country). It failed to detonate. One of those moments where history hinges on a mechanical malfunction.

In this episode of Beast over Burden, hosts Niki Sims and Andrew Jackson sit down with Jonathan Sullivan — known to many as "Sully" — to discuss why barbell training for longevity is one of the most powerful tools for improving quality of life as we age. Sully is the co-author of The Barbell Prescription and owner of Greysteel Strength and Conditioning, and his approach to strength training blends decades of medical practice with deep coaching experience. The conversation explores the idea that strength is not simply about fitness — it is medicine. Sully explains how the decline many people attribute to aging is often driven by disuse rather than age itself, and how barbell training can slow or reverse many aspects of physical decline. The discussion dives into the concept of the "sick aging phenotype," how loss of strength leads to loss of independence, and why training fundamental movement patterns is more effective than chasing isolated muscle work. You'll hear about the practical and emotional benefits of barbell training, especially for people in their 50s, 60s, and beyond. Sully shares insights on coaching older adults, how to meet people where they are, and why individualized programming is essential. He also explains why the barbell is uniquely suited for long-term strength development, how to balance volume and intensity as people age, and why strength training remains a cornerstone of healthspan and independence. Whether you're a coach, a lifter, or someone interested in aging well, this episode offers a clear, practical framework for understanding why barbell training for longevity is one of the most powerful interventions available for improving health, resilience, and quality of life.
