Dorian Yates is a former professional bodybuilder, six-time Mr. Olympia winner and a pioneer of high-intensity, low-volume training for building muscle size and strength. He explains how anyone can vastly improve their fitness, mindset and appearance by training with weights just two or three days per week for less than an hour. We also discuss how to determine your natural strengths and passions and select which life path is right for you. Dorian also shares his journey and transformation from wayward youth to world champion athlete, his exploration of psychedelics, views on cannabis and on longevity and health optimization more generally. The knowledge and wisdom Dorian shares is valuable to men and women of all ages. Read the episode show notes at hubermanlab.com.

In this episode, I sit down with the one and only Lee Priest at the iconic Gold's Gym in Venice California, to unpack the real foundations of bodybuilding: hard training, simple nutrition, and ruthless consistency. Lee shares what his actual contest prep looked like (including the cycles people still argue about), why modern bodybuilding often looks "softer," and the intensity mindset most lifters have lost. We also go deeper on focus, distraction, and why phones are quietly destroying training quality, and even life quality. If you're serious about building muscle, staying powerful as you age, and cutting through the noise, this one delivers.   5 Bullet Points: Lee's real contest-prep cycle, explained simply Why "more gear" often makes you worse Old school training principles that still win The intensity mindset most lifters avoid Phones, distraction, and lost training quality   About Ben Ben Pakulski is the Chief Performance Officer to elite executives, successful entrepreneurs, and top athletes.With over 25 years of experience, he coaches high achievers to build the physical, psychological, and metabolic resilience required to lead at the highest level. As the creator of the Muscle Intelligence framework, Ben specializes in aligning biology and behavior to drive sustained peak performance. His mission is to redefine what's possible for people in their prime and push the boundaries of human potential.   Guest Bio Lee Priest is a legendary Australian IFBB professional bodybuilder known for world-class proportions, freaky density, and a brutally honest voice in the sport. Rising through the ranks as a teenage standout, Lee earned his pro card in the early 1990s and became one of bodybuilding's most iconic physiques through the late-90s and 2000s. He's respected not just for how he looked on stage, but for how he trained: hard, simple, consistent, and focused on execution over ego. Today, Lee remains a fan-favorite for his unfiltered opinions on modern bodybuilding culture, drugs, training intensity, and what it actually takes to build an elite body.   Time Stamps: 00:00 - Meeting Lee Priest: A Bodybuilding Legend 01:45 - Lee Priest's Early Career and Challenges 03:28 - Training at Gold's Gym: Memories and Changes 07:53 - Competing and Training Philosophy 11:18 - Reflections on Bodybuilding and Life 32:58 - Commonwealth Connections and Prime Ministers 33:13 - First Exposure to Olympia 33:35 - Comparing Bodybuilders: Then and Now 34:18 - Training Techniques and Intensity 42:06 - The Role of Technology in Training 46:23 - The Importance of Family Values 47:06 - The Influence of Social Media 48:15 - Longevity and Health Concerns 53:37 - The Impact of Modern Lifestyle on Kids 56:02 - Concluding Thoughts and Future Plans 57:31 - Personal Reflections on Training and Health 01:00:16 - The Evolution of Training Methods

Send us a textOn this week's episode of Serving Sunday's, the pressure is on! Candace is officially starting her competition "cut," which means Dave has been demoted from gym partner to full-time chef. We kick things off debating the hilarious difference between men and women getting ready (5 minutes vs. 40 minutes?!) and give some major love to the sponsors fueling Candace's journey: Maxim Realty, Overtime Fitness, and Fancy Infusion.Then, we get into it. Candace goes off on a passionate rant about the lack of customer service in big box stores—is expecting a simple "hello" too much to ask? Dave shares a classic story about his dad, and the ultimate "I'll take my business elsewhere" move.Finally, we take a sharp turn into geopolitics, global protests, and the race for the Arctic, before asking the big questions: Is Elon Musk our only hope? And are rhinoceroses actually just fat unicorns?Support the showFollow us on social media: Dave Wheeler Candace Rae

Creatine is a hot subject right now, but I'm guessing you might not know as much about it as you could. Well step into a new creatine masterclass with our friends from Qualia. This episode shows you why it is not just for muscle, but one of the most powerful and well studied upgrades for brain energy, metabolism, sleep resilience, and long term human performance. You will learn how creatine supports mitochondria, buffers ATP, reduces cravings, and helps you think, train, and recover with more energy instead of relying on willpower. Watch this episode on YouTube for the full video experience: https://www.youtube.com/@DaveAspreyBPR Host Dave Asprey sits down with Greg Kelly for a deep, practical masterclass on creatine and energy biology. Greg Kelly is a naturopathic physician, functional medicine expert, and longtime researcher in supplements and nootropics. He has spent decades studying creatine, mitochondrial function, cognition, and performance, and has contributed to peer reviewed research while working directly with athletes, clinicians, and high performers. Together, Dave and Greg break down how creatine works at the cellular level, why it matters for cognition, emotional regulation, and metabolism, and how it supports the brain and body during stress, sleep deprivation, dieting, and recovery. They explore neuroplasticity, ATP production, magnesium, methylation, and why energy availability drives discipline, focus, and resilience more effectively than willpower alone. They also explain why creatine matters for women, aging adults, and people dealing with fatigue or obesity, and how creatine supports brain function even when muscle mass is low. This conversation connects bodybuilding research with modern longevity science, nootropics, functional medicine, and sleep optimization. Dave and Greg also expose why creatine quality matters, how contaminants can impair mitochondrial function, why some products fail label claims, and how to choose forms that absorb better and cause less bloating. Practical strategies like dosing, timing, stacking with magnesium, and using creatine with hot coffee are all covered, including why Dave uses it with Danger Coffee as part of his Smarter Not Harder approach. You'll Learn: • Why creatine acts as an ATP buffer for both muscles and the brain • How mitochondria drive cognition, metabolism, and emotional regulation • The real dosing debate from low daily maintenance to higher cognitive doses • Why women often need more creatine than men • How creatine supports performance during sleep deprivation and sleep debt • The link between magnesium, creatine phosphate, and ATP production • How methylation and TMG relate to creatine synthesis and timing • Why creatine can reduce cravings by improving cellular energy • How low quality creatine and contaminants can damage mitochondrial function • When creatine matters most for longevity, resilience, and human performance Dave Asprey is a four time New York Times bestselling author, founder of Bulletproof Coffee, and the father of biohacking. With over 1,000 interviews and 1 million monthly listeners, The Human Upgrade is the top podcast for people who want to take control of their biology, extend their longevity, and optimize every system in the body and mind.

Send us a textDave and Candace kick off the first show of 2026 feeling the burn after a brutal leg day and posing session, leading to a realization that despite being born in the 1900s, they can still hang with the younger generation. The couple recaps their New Year's Eve at a Western-themed murder mystery party at Falcon Lake, where Dave went full investigator mode and Candace took home a prize.The conversation takes a deep dive into the strange world of Artificial Intelligence. Dave shares two mind-blowing AI discoveries: one involving deciphering the complex language of crows (and the grudges they hold), and another analyzing the Shroud of Turin, which suggests a massive energy surge created the image.On the home front, the stakes are high as Candace is entrusted with babysitting her uncle's prized 10-year-old orchid—currently residing in a Chapman's ice cream pail—while Dave prepares to use AI to help him finally quit nicotine. Finally, things get serious as they discuss the recent regime change in Venezuela before lightening the mood with some nostalgia regarding Anthony Hopkins and 90s cinema.Support the showFollow us on social media: Dave Wheeler Candace Rae

In this episode, I'm joined by fellow prep coach Jojo Hart (@ohhhjojo) for an honest, no-fluff conversation on our biggest competition hot takes as coaches who live and breathe the prep world.We dive into the real differences between big-name teams vs. solo coaches, the pros, cons, and what competitors actually need to consider when choosing a coach. We also talk about something that doesn't get enough attention in this industry: learning how to lose, navigating disappointment on stage, and why placing doesn't define your worth or success.Jojo and I also unpack the importance of developing a strong “why” behind stepping on stage, especially in a sport that can quickly blur the line between growth, validation, and burnout. This episode is for competitors who want to approach bodybuilding with more intention, maturity, and long-term perspective—both physically and mentally.Whether you're a first-time competitor or a seasoned athlete, this conversation will challenge how you think about prep, coaching, and success beyond the trophies.

Men's health, fitness, and longevity deserve a deeper and more honest conversation. In this episode, I sit down with Christian Palmer, a veteran bodybuilder, coach, and long-time advocate for sustainable strength and health. Drawing from decades of experience in physique development and training, Palmer shares practical insights into how men can continue to build muscle, maintain performance, and adapt their approach as they age. Our conversation addresses common but often avoided issues in men's health, including sarcopenia and erectile dysfunction. Palmer explains why these are not isolated problems, but reflections of hormonal balance, metabolic health, and lifestyle habits. We discuss the importance of consistent resistance training, adequate protein intake, and strategic hormone management to preserve strength, energy, and physical independence over time. This episode reinforces a holistic, data-driven approach to men's wellness. Beyond workouts and nutrition, we explore the value of comprehensive blood work, understanding biomarkers, and using objective data to guide decisions. Palmer emphasizes that thriving with age requires more than effort in the gym. It requires awareness, intention, and a commitment to long-term healthspan.   Key takeaways: Addressing Men's Health Concerns: Acknowledging and tackling issues like erectile dysfunction and cardiovascular health can lead to significant long-term benefits. Building and Maintaining Muscle Mass: Engaging in resistance training and focusing on compound movements is crucial for combating age-related muscle loss. Navigating Aging as an Opportunity: By understanding sarcopenia, men can leverage resistance training and proper nutrition to remain healthy and active well into their later years. Optimizing Health through Blood Work: Regular testing of biomarkers can provide critical insights that help improve lifestyle and health decisions. The Role of Testosterone: Understanding and managing testosterone levels through professional guidance can profoundly impact men's health and energy levels. More About Christian Palmer:   Christian helps men reignite their vigor, build unshakable confidence, and become the strongest version of themselves through getting lean, building muscle and conquering nutrition. With over a decade and a half of coaching and hundreds of client transformations, he specializes in guiding men to get lean, build muscle, optimize hormones, and overcome challenges like diabetes, low testosterone, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, and digestive issues. His passion for men's health began when his mother was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. After helping her lose weight, reverse her condition, and eliminate the need for insulin, he committed his life to empowering others through nutrition and strength. During his years at Equinox, Christian coached countless men over 40 who battled low energy, joint pain, diminished confidence, and the pressure of providing for their families. Helping them reclaim their edge inspired him to launch Relentless Fitness and Nutrition. Bodybuilding is Christian's personal standard of excellence. It's his way of pushing his own limits and embodying the discipline and resilience that he helps men forge in their own lives. His journey serves as a model for clients who want to become the badass 2.0 version of themselves. Christian's mission is simple: help men build a body they're proud of, lead their families with strength, and live with the confidence of a man who refuses to settle.

In this episode, I sit down with THE industry's photographer Mario Wilkinson to talk about what the camera actually captures, and what athletes are really living through behind the scenes.Mario has photographed everyone from first-time competitors to Olympia-level athletes, and his perspective is rare: he sees the peak moments, the crashes after the stage lights turn off, and the emotional patterns that repeat backstage year after year.We talk about:The difference between athletes who are grounded in their process vs. chasing validationWhat bodybuilding photos don't show about pressure, comparison, and mental healthHow social media has changed the way athletes see themselvesThe emotional cost of being judged on stage, online, and internallyWhy photos matter in the off-season — not just at your “best”What longevity in bodybuilding actually looks like (and who tends to last)This isn't a highlight-reel conversation. It's an honest look at identity, discipline, image, and what it really means to pursue physique goals without losing yourself in the process.Whether you're a competitor, coach, creative, or someone navigating comparison culture in fitness — this episode will make you think differently about the photos you see and the stories you tell yourself.Connect with Mario: Instagram / TikTok / Facebook: @mwilk.media https://www.instagram.com/mwilk.media@shotby.wilkhttps://www.instagram.com/shotby.wilkIf this episode resonates, subscribe to the channel and share it with someone who needs a more grounded perspective on fitness, bodybuilding, and self-trust.Find me on IG: ⁠⁠@noamccabe_ifbbpro⁠⁠.BEcoming Relentless IG: ⁠@becomingrelentless_⁠.If you are interested in working with me, I am looking for new athletes, general lifestyle clients, and contest prep competitors.

A surprise not-totally-festive edition of Radio Clash, where I talk about a bird I think about a lot (the lost Kauaʻi ʻōʻō bird – apologies for the transliteration but those special symbols will likely gum up the works in the feed and tags) and what Christmas means to me now… I play some new and old mashups and original music – some of which is my favourites of the year, but mostly older since I don’t listen to music in the same way anymore. Loving the new Saint Etienne and Lily Allen albums though, and K-Pop Demon Hunters (DERPY 4EVAH!) and new-ish music from B. Dolan, Hallmighty and Lankum. Buckingham Nicks album gets a timely re-release (are they talking again?) so talk about that and the legendary Coffee Plant demos – and visit Aidan Moffat and RM Hubbert’s Christmas Ghost Stories album…and play the last of my choices from Tom Rasmussen’s amazing Body Building album. And some festive? festering? tracks that have been on ice stuck at the North Pole since Xmas two years ago. Joy to the world and all that, there’s a theme about wanting 2026 to be a lot less shit…but not that hopeful, concentrating on what Xmas is supposed to be about, rather than all the capitalism, food and tradition. Peace on earth for all would be a nice place to start?
