Every day we take a breath from the busy work day to take a break and hang out with friends to talk about the world of Sports, Entertainment and specifically CrossFit. Today we preview the weekend at WZA So Cal, we catch up with Cory and I finally saw a John Wick Movie.
I first learned visualization as a young gymnast, used it in CrossFit, and now I'm finding it just as powerful in everyday life. In this week's episode, I share how this simple tool can help you show up with more confidence, presence, and joy—no matter what challenge you're facing.

The foremost health authority, the contrarian, and voice of reason is spouting this level of misinformation, so I think it deserves the acronym: A-Y-F-K-M. Dr. Layne Norton, internet health influencer and self-titled Truth Seeker and debunker, has delivered the single worst piece of fitness advice imaginable. There is no more potentially destructive message to convey besides telling people to push through fatigue, crappy workouts, and poor movement patterns. So inspired by the Debunker himself, I'm going after you. Layne Norton has a PhD in nutritional sciences, a background as a champion powerlifter and bodybuilder, and is known for debunking fitness misinformation and pseudoscience. But recently, he posted one of his many deadlift clips with the message that training is like investing in the stock market. He even detailed a week of “moving crappy,” “moving really crappy,” and being “happy” about grinding it out anyway. Here’s what you will learn from this episode: Why pushing through fatigue and poor form is a recipe for injury, burnout, and attrition The flaws with the dated no pain, no gain mentality that simply won’t die Exercise physiology insights: ATP, lactate, glycolysis, and aerobic energy systems Why the anaerobic system requires extensive rest and recovery, not grinding through bad workouts Technical failure versus pushing to failure, and why form matters most Interesting science-based insights on the power of performing theatrics before a peak performance effort and why lighter weight and excellent form are the real win Deadlifting dangers, proper technique, and why novices should get expert guidance Finally, you will hear about what you should do when experiencing symptoms of suboptimal recovery and the value of applying an intuitive approach—especially when it comes to times that you “just don’t feel like it” and what that feeling can signify (hint: it has to do with your emotions and your central nervous system). TIMESTAMPS: Dr. Layne Nortron is known for debunking some of the science that is out there telling us what is good to eat. [01:03] Brad confronts one of Layne's posts about training and recovery. Layne treats training like investing. [04:39] Elites manage their energy very carefully every single day, week, month of training. [10:02] ATP, the source for immediate explosive efforts lasting from zero to seven seconds, becomes completely exhausted after seven seconds [14:33] Working through crappy form and feeling horrible during your warmup is in direct opposition to how the anaerobic system develops. [20:59] Doug McGuff has come up with the Big Five Workout strategy, which you do only once a week that keeps you strong. [31:47] If you attempt to work through crappy form and low scores on the readiness-to-train scale, you are training the central nervous system to fire less explosively and teaching your brain to be able to left ledds weight. [35:38] Pavel Tsatsouline explains why he doesn't see the point of training to muscular failure. [38:37] Six sets of three is the same as three sets of six, but you get less tired. [40:45] Brad critiques Layne's analogy of exercising is like the stock market. [43:56] Performing theatrics before a peak performance effort actually does help prime the centtral nervous system for peak performance. [45:41] You want to preserve a straight and elongated spine with eveything you do in the gym. [50:06] Deadlifting is a random exercise and potentially dangerous. If you're novice, get that trusted expert for one-on-one instruction before you even try. [58:19] Beware of internet blather from influencers. [01:01:21] Always take what your body gives you each day and nothing more. [01:02:06] LINKS: Brad Kearns.com BradNutrition.com B.rad Whey Protein Superfuel - The Best Protein on The Planet!

-A VNR listener wants to know if fitness would be better measured & tested by using metrics such as watts or joules.-Pat & Adrian discuss this topic.
Send us a text if you want to be on the Podcast & explain why!Ever wondered how to properly design a fitness program for someone with metabolic syndrome? Meet "Metabolic Mary," our 44-year-old avatar client who presents with multiple risk factors including hypertension, elevated resting heart rate, and poor overall fitness. This episode dives deep into the thoughtful approach required to help clients like Mary succeed when standard training methods might do more harm than good.The journey begins with understanding what metabolic syndrome actually is—having at least three of five specific health markers that significantly increase risk for cardiovascular disease and diabetes. We explore each marker in detail, from waist circumference thresholds to blood pressure parameters, giving you the knowledge to recognize these conditions in your own clients.What makes this episode particularly valuable is the stark contrast drawn between typical trainer approaches and the more sophisticated method taught at Show Up Fitness. Rather than annihilating a deconditioned client with high-intensity circuits on day one (virtually guaranteeing they won't return), we demonstrate the "Goldilocks approach"—programming that's not too hard, not too easy, but just right for the client's current abilities.The conversation extends beyond exercise selection to cover crucial professional skills: how to approach physicians for medical clearance, positioning yourself as distinct from "CrossFit weirdos," and addressing client fears (like Mary's concern about "bulking up") with empathy rather than dismissal. You'll learn specific progression models using CA (compound-accessory), CC (compound-compound), and CCA (compound-compound-accessory) formats that can be modified based on client response.Whether you're a new trainer struggling with program design or an experienced professional looking to refine your approach to special populations, this episode provides both the science and art of effective training for metabolic syndrWant to ask us a question?

What started as free community workouts in a small CrossFit gym has grown into a 7,000 sq ft facility where people in recovery can rebuild their bodies, minds, and confidence—all at no cost. They open up about their darkest moments, the near-death experiences that shook them into sobriety, and the passion that drives them to help others break free from addiction.

Li Wang Better every day. That's the way I aspire to live. I was born in 1973 in Philadelphia. My parents immigrated from Taipei and my dad's first job out of graduate school was in Philadelphia. I'm a die-hard Eagles fan and being raised in that city has shaped my identity. Hip-hop culture served as my first artistic influence. Run-DMC, Public Enemy and the Beastie Boys shaped how I created my own environment. During the summer of O.J. trial I interned at the Philadelphia Daily News. I became hooked on journalism. I went on to another internship at the Des Moines Register and started my career as a business reporter for the Times of Trenton. I was the arts editor for the Honolulu Weekly and then the film critic for the Harrisburg Patriot-News. Website design I could see the end of the print industry so I decided to get a professional certificate in digital marketing from New York University. I started an agency with a partner doing SEO, PPC , content creation and website design. My partner decided to focus on software development and I turned my attention to website design. Today I help small business owners shine online with compelling websites to resonate with their target audiences. Personal interests I'm a fitness enthusiast (CrossFit), watch collector (14060M, PAM112, SBGA085), and father (Matthew and Noemi).

Piet explains why great coaching is a learned craft: commanding a room, progressing skills safely, creating energy, and delivering results without burning people out. Piet breaks down the lost art of group coaching, the difference between PT and group leadership, and why education, reps on the floor, and standards matter more than TikTok tips.

Most guys over 40 think building muscle and losing fat is just about training harder or eating cleaner. The reality is, that only gets you so far.True results come from optimizing the whole system: training, recovery, nutrition, hormones, and in some cases, leveraging tools like peptides. To dig deeper into this, I'm joined by Jeff Sakamoto. Jeff's background in pro sports, bodybuilding, and now owner of a top peptide and hormone distribution company, gives him a unique perspective on what it really takes to move the needle.In this conversation, we break down what optimization really means, why most guys are leaving game-changing results on the table, and how to approach peptides safely so they actually work for you. The goal is simple: help you look, feel, and perform your best without grinding yourself into the ground.If you're ready to move beyond outdated practices and start thinking like someone who values long-term health, energy, and performance, this is for you.Episode Timeline: 00:00 – Episode Preview01:05 – Welcome to the Show02:07 – Introducing Jeff Sakamoto04:36 – Jeff's Journey Into Telemedicine05:42 – Dangers of self-sourcing peptides online08:52 – Ensuring quality & pharmacy standards11:02 – The pursuit of optimization12:15 – Early athletic background & low testosterone discovery17:25 – Stress, lifestyle, and body composition challenges19:39 – Misconceptions around sleep, food, and alcohol22:18 – Rationalizing habits vs. health goals23:52 – Micro-decisions and long-term progress25:06 – Ripple effects of daily choices25:24 – Shifting identity away from alcohol26:35 – Strength training after 4029:05 – Moving past CrossFit and high-intensity training29:55 – Training with intent, not annihilation30:36 – Breaking down peptides31:47 – Who should consider peptides33:49 – Hormones vs. Peptides: where to start35:26 – What “optimal” testosterone really means37:48 – The importance of free testosterone39:16 – Lifestyle factors before hormone therapy41:16 – Reframing GLP-1s as a powerful tool44:05 – Real-world results with GLP-1s45:28 – Advancements with retatrutide46:42 – Microdosing explained48:07 – Broader benefits of GLP-1s49:07 – Peptides that support healing & recovery51:36 – Popular anti-aging peptides (GHK-Cu)52:31 – Wrapping up & where to connect with Jeff53:24 – Guidance for finding good clinicians54:20 – Closing thoughtsConnect with Jeff Sakamoto: Jeff Sakamoto's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jeff.sakamoto/ Company Website: https://www.scripts.co/ Links & Resources:Connect with Ben on Instagram:
