Send us a text if you want to be on the Podcast & explain why!Incline bench press has a way of making strong lifters feel brand new under the bar. If you've ever wondered why your flat bench numbers don't carry over, we walk through the real mechanics that make incline pressing so challenging and so valuable for upper chest strength and hypertrophy. We break it down into five clear drivers: anatomy (the clavicular head of the pectoralis major has less “real estate” to contribute), torque (more distance and tougher angles), leg drive (harder to wedge and get that back-and-up bar path), the SAID principle (you adapt to what you practice, and most people don't practice incline enough), and range of motion (which can expose flexibility limits fast). Along the way, we talk shoulder discomfort on incline bench press, why it shows up, and how to troubleshoot it with better mobility, soft tissue work, and smart exercise selection. We also get practical about programming: when it makes sense to keep barbell incline, when to run a short block with dumbbell incline for a friendlier shoulder position, and how changing fly angles can shift chest emphasis depending on what you're trying to build. If you care about pressing strength, powerlifting carryover, or getting that upper chest to finally show up, this one is for you. Subscribe, share this with a training partner, and leave a review with your biggest incline bench struggle or PR so we can talk about it next.Want to become a SUCCESSFUL personal trainer?

Standard medical advice after a catastrophic muscle tear will turn a high-performance lifter into a spectator if you blindly follow it. Four months after snapping his bicep off the bone on an axle clean, National Champion Strongman Josh Hendrickson refused to sit passive in a sling and hit a max-effort box squat forty-eight hours before surgery. By defying conservative rehab models, forcing daily range of motion, and recalibrating his drive, he uncovered the psychological framework required to rebuild elite capacity without burning out. INSIDE THIS CONVERSATION Bicep Tear Protocols: Why traditional medical timelines can sabotage competitive strength athletes. The 14-Day Crossroad: How Josh approached restoring range of motion and accelerating his return to training. Natural Peak Performance: Out-lifting enhanced competitors through stubborn, decades-long consistency. The Promoter's Dilemma: The brutal truth behind the massive annual attrition rate in strongman. Lessons From Louie Simmons: Getting called out at Westside Barbell and earning platform credibility. MEET THE GUEST Josh Hendrickson is a Strongman Corporation National Champion (u80kg), owner of 580 Barbell, and a leading event promoter in Northeast strongman. Having earned pro cards across multiple weight classes while remaining lifetime drug-free, Josh combines deep competitive experience with practical coaching to help lifters build sustainable, real-world strength.

Episode Summary In this episode of the Work at Home Rockstar Podcast, Tim chats with Matt O'Neill, owner of Matt O'Neill Real Estate and Tide Property Management, and a happiness coach. Matt shares his path from hating engineering and a soul-crushing nine-to-five sales job to becoming a real estate agent, only to realize that client work had given him "40 bosses" instead of one. That realization led him to hire and train agents, and eventually build a property management company designed for recurring cashflow he could own without operating it day to day. Matt also opens up about a major setback: an overleveraged home-flipping business that nearly cost his family their home when interest rates doubled in 30 days. He shares what he learned from Morgan Housel's The Psychology of Money about never risking survival money and being able to withstand a 30 percent drop. The conversation covers his obsession with sales and marketing, testing channels like YouTube, hiring by core values, protecting company culture, and his decision to work less so he can spend more time with his four kids. Matt also talks about his book, The Good Mood Revolution, and his approach to happiness coaching. Who is Matt O'Neill? Matt O'Neill teaches that happiness is a choice, even when life gets tough. His work has positively impacted over 100,000 people worldwide. His book, Good Mood Revolution: Igniting the Power of Conscious Happiness, became a #1 bestseller in seven categories on Amazon and has earned over 140 five-star reviews. Matt emphasizes the power of conquering negative thought patterns, and shares that there are eight bad moods, and that understanding these emotions is key to moving through them and returning to joy. Matt and his wife have four young children while running two successful businesses with $8 million in revenue and over 80 employees. His company has been recognized as the #1 place to work among 470,000 companies in South Carolina.

The barbell squat isn't as dangerous as you've been told. It's one of the few things that keeps your bones from thinning after 40. But a popular podcast just ranked it the most unsafe exercise you can do, with the conventional deadlift and barbell row right behind it.I'm breaking down the 3 errors in their argument and the real reason people get hurt lifting. You'll also hear what muscle activation actually tells you about muscle growth, why their own co-host kept disagreeing with them on air, and what happened when researchers put postmenopausal women under a heavy barbell. Hit play if you want to keep squatting and deadlifting without worrying about your back.Enroll in Eat More Lift Heavy, the 26-week coached program where adults over 40 build the nutrition and training skills to preserve muscle, lose fat, and manage their physique for life.Wits & Weights is the evidence-based podcast for strength training over 40, body recomposition, fat loss over 40, metabolism recovery, and healthy aging.

The Barbell Mamas Podcast | Pregnancy, Postpartum, Pelvic Health
A lot of pregnancy and postpartum fitness advice sounds confident until it hits real life. One mom feels ready to load a barbell at six weeks postpartum, another is rebuilding from pain, sleep deprivation, or a tough delivery, and both get handed the same plan anyway. I'm Christina Prevett, a pelvic floor physical therapist and researcher in exercise and pregnancy, and this short bonus episode is a clear announcement: Barbell Mamas is re-engaging and doubling down on nuance, not one-size-fits-all prescriptions.I share why we built our training programs around a templated workout style with “filters” and options. The backbone stays the same, but you can adjust based on what you're feeling, what equipment you have, and the realities of your pregnancy or postpartum recovery. We also talk about why c-section versus vaginal delivery can change considerations, and why individualized strength training matters whether you are a CrossFitter, weightlifter, powerlifter, or simply a mom who wants to get stronger.Then I lay out what's next: more educational products and deeper support, including ebooks, presentations, and personalized wellness consultations so you can apply research to your specific body and goals. The first new resource in the pipeline is a birth prep ebook for active women, plus tools to help you have better conversations with your provider about physical activity and preparing for birth.If you want evidence-based pregnancy fitness, postpartum exercise guidance, and pelvic floor-informed strength training without the quick-fix noise, follow along. Subscribe, share with a friend who lifts, and leave a review so more moms can find the support they actually need.___________________________________________________________________________Don't miss out on any of the TEA coming out of the Barbell Mamas by subscribing to our newsletter You can also follow us on Instagram and YouTube for all the up-to-date information you need about pelvic health and female athletes.

From speaking at three major wealth management conferences in a single quarter to mapping out a pattern that's already reshaped accounting and is now creeping into law and the trades, Corey Kupfer breaks down the barbell effect and what business owners should be doing now to avoid getting caught in the middle. WHAT YOU'LL LEARN: In this episode, you'll discover what the barbell effect is and why it shows up across industries once consolidation and outside capital enter the picture, how accounting's shift from the Big Eight to the Big Four foreshadows what may be coming in wealth management, and why most deals positioned as mergers are actually acquisitions in disguise. Corey explains why firms stuck in the middle face higher overhead than small competitors and fewer resources than large ones, and how the same dynamic is showing up in the trades, from roofing to electrical. KEY INSIGHTS: The barbell effect describes what happens as an industry consolidates: large, well funded firms on one end, small boutique firms on the other, and the middle becoming the hardest place to operate, with higher overhead than small competitors and fewer resources than large ones. The accounting industry offers a preview of where wealth management may be headed. Corey points to the shift from the Big Eight to the Big Four, and to firms like Eisner and Amper merging to compete at a higher level, along with Apria's growth through acquisition. In legal, only attorneys can own law firms in most states, but Corey describes private equity entering through a managed services model similar to healthcare, where a non-legal company runs the back office while attorneys retain ownership of the practice. Corey shares a comment from his Entrepreneurs Organization lawyers group, that it is much easier to run a law firm under two million dollars or over ten million dollars in revenue than to be stuck in the middle, connecting this to the crossing the chasm dynamic of investing ahead of payoff. Drawing on NAPFA in Minneapolis, Corey notes many members are choosing not to sell to PE backed aggregators, even leaving value on the table, out of concern for fiduciary alignment, while noting he is relaying their perspective rather than judging it. He also points out most "mergers" are actually acquisitions, cites the 2026 Advisor Growth Strategies Report and DeVoe's data showing fewer buyers chasing more sellers and average seller AUM crossing a billion dollars, and closes by noting the same barbell dynamic in the trades, where consolidators and mom and pop firms both persist while the middle gets squeezed. Perfect for RIA owners weighing independence, succession, or sale, leaders of growing companies assessing their industry's consolidation cycle, and anyone navigating competition in the middle market.

In this episode Lawrence/Matt have Taylor Sharpe on the podcast, a competitive powerlifter, state chair of Illinois and meet director Powerlifting United. They reflect on a meet that was held at RWBB back in April and how they worked together in unique ways to make the meet better than before. They also discuss her father Paul who is a black belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, how his love for martial arts and weight lifting had an impact on her childhood and future. They dive into her being the chair of Illinois for the PLU, obstacles she has overcome in taking on that roll and things she has learned along the way. They talk about how she got into powerlifting, things she would change about it and her long term goals as a lifter. They also discuss her time at RWBB, how it has changed her by coming into this gym daily and pushing through the struggle.
If you think your current training routine is built for longevity, you are lying to yourself about what decades under a heavy barbell actually does to the human frame. For over twenty years, Jim Wendler, Matt Rhodes, and Vincent Dizenzo chased the white rabbit of absolute strength through the unforgiving gauntlet of elite powerlifting, accumulating world records, catastrophic injuries, and a mountain of now-obsolete beliefs. But when the competitive spotlight fades and the realities of joint replacement, heart surgery, and bone-on-bone arthritis set in, the ultimate test becomes surviving the very iron that made you. INSIDE THE EPISODE Training vs. Testing: Why treating every gym session like a competitive meet is the fastest way to ruin an aging body. The Myth of Optimal Volume: How "junk volume" transforms into the critical work capacity needed for lifelong durability. Coaching the Average Athlete: Why building elite high school culture relies on forcing a 300-pound kid to get their first pull-up. Sub-Maximal Accumulation: The unscientific, farm-strong framework that builds massive deadlifts without ever touching a maximum weight. The Cardio Compromise: How elite lifters negotiate with cardiologists to maintain performance under strict medical weight limits. MEET THE GUESTS Dave Tate's Table Talk brings together Jim Wendler (creator of the world-renowned 5/3/1 system), Matt Rhodes (veteran collegiate and high school strength coach), and Vincent Dizenzo (one of the greatest bench pressers in history). These are not theoretical academics or fitness influencers chasing an algorithm; they are legendary lifters who survived the brutal Westside Barbell era and the highest echelons of powerlifting. Having paid for their elite expertise in broken bones, surgeries, and decades of trial-and-error, they now dedicate their coaching careers to filtering out the noise and teaching the next generation what actually stands the test of time.

In this episode of Take-Away with Sam Oches, Sam talks with Ahsan Jiva, executive vice president of strategy and transformation at Mellow Mushroom, a brand that's grown to about 170 locations in 17 states in its 50-plus years in business. Mellow Mushroom has long been a full-service concept with bar service and countercultural vibes, but as part of a three-year transformation that Ahsan is spearheading, it's rolling out a “fast fine” model that offers some counter service while protecting the core menu and branding that Mellow Mushroom has become known for. Ahsan joined the podcast to talk about the ingredients to that transformation and how the flexible model they've designed is empowering franchisees and GMs to take the business to the next level.In this conversation, you'll find out why:Barbell pricing strategies can extend to beverageConsider the fringes of your menu for innovationThe pizza category may have a use case problemPizza also has an experience problemChains should consider the jam band approach where no two experiences are alikeNo matter how varied your experience is, the brand must be consistentThe best use for new tech tools is to supercharge your GMRegister for CREATE here: https://informaconnect.com/create/Have feedback or ideas for Take-Away?

Just as it is with road safety, so much of how Americans talk about health pushes the responsibility for eating right and exercising onto the individual, ignoring the many structural barriers that prevent people from making "good" choices. Through her newsletter, She's a Beast, and her bestselling book A Physical Education: How I Escaped Diet Culture and Gained the Power of Lifting, Casey Johnston cuts through the noise, making connections across various disciplines to help people rethink their notions about health, exercise and body positivity. Casey joins The War on Cars to talk about how "at the scale of daily life, cars should be systematically discouraged, in order to even begin to contend with the deaths and health decline from a lack of physical activity." ***Support The War on Cars on Patreon and receive exclusive access to ad-free versions of regular episodes, Patreon-only bonus content, Discord access, invitations to live events, merch discounts and free stickers!*** Order our new book, Life After Cars: Freeing Ourselves from the Tyranny of the Automobile, out now from Thesis, an imprint of Penguin Random House.

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.
