HAPPY FALL Y'ALL! College Baseball is just around the corner, and we've got the reigning national champion head coach of LSU baseball, Jay Johnson, on Dugouts, Dumbbells and Dingers! David Kahn and Coach Johnson rehash LSU's 2025 run to the national title, including what he remembers from that frenzied regional and how that set the course for the Tigers to run the table in Omaha. The two discuss the various celebrations that LSU has had since their national championship win, including Jay HOUSING a pepperoni pizza after the victory, Jay's best memories of the 2025 team, what winning a national title at LSU means to him, and how entrenched he has become in this community. Jay also discusses his thoughts on Anthony Eyanson, Chase Shores and a whole host of other Tigers from the 2025 squad, and how he strategically used his off days in both Hoover and Omaha to set his team up for present and future success.Plus, how does the 2026 team look so far? Derek Curriel is the centerpiece, and he cashed in on the transfer portal again, so look for LSU to be as competitive as ever in 2026.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

If you've been showing up consistently but not seeing the strength or definition you want, this episode might just reveal why. The most common mistake I see women make with dumbbells? Going too light,  for too long. We've been told that heavier weights make women “bulky,” that lighter ones are for “toning,” or that cardio is the safer path to fitness. But those myths are holding you back from building the strong, confident body you actually want. In this episode, I'm breaking down exactly why lifting too light stalls your progress and what to do instead so you can finally start seeing real change. Here's what we're diving into: Why light weights don't trigger the muscle or metabolism changes you're working for The science of progressive overload and how to apply it to your workouts How to know if your dumbbells are actually heavy enough The difference between training for endurance vs. building strength and muscle How to safely level up your lifts without fear of injury or “bulking up” The role structure plays in ensuring you keep progressing month after month If you've been stuck in the “light weights only” cycle, this episode will give you the clarity, confidence, and strategy to finally level up, without overcomplicating it.

What happens when a bunch of Miami bodybuilders decide they're too swole for the 9-to-5 grind? Apparently, they skip leg day and go straight to felony. In this episode, we dive into the protein-packed, crime-riddled chaos of the Sun Gym Gang—a crew of gym rats who thought kidnapping, extortion, and murder sounded like a solid business plan. Led by Daniel Lugo, a man with more ambition than brains, and Adrian Doorbal, who could bench press a Buick but couldn't spell “alibi,” this gang's criminal spree was so outrageous it eventually became a Hollywood movie: Pain & Gain. Spoiler alert—Michael Bay made it look like a comedy, but the real story is more “WTF” than “LOL.” We'll unpack the botched plans, the bizarre disguises, and the moments that make you wonder how these guys ever managed to tie their own shoelaces, let alone pull off a kidnapping. It's a tale of muscles, money, and monumental stupidity—and yes, it's all horrifyingly true.

Send us a textAlright, friends, let's talk straight: if you're over 40 and still slogging through random workouts, obsessing over fad diets, or clinging to those cute little 5lb dumbbells… we need to have a heart-to-heart.This episode is the replay of a live presentation I gave to over 2,600 women (yeah, the Zoom room actually maxed out, wild). And I didn't hold back. Because here's the truth: what worked in your 20s isn't going to cut it anymore. And no, it's not because you're “broken” or “too old.” It's because most of us are making the same three mistakes that keep us stuck spinning our wheels.We're going deep into why muscle is the closest thing you've got to a fountain of youth and why building it is about so much more than looking jacked in your tank top (although that's a solid perk). From metabolism to brain health to literally not falling on your face in your 70s, this stuff matters.I'll walk you through the three shifts you have to make if you want to get strong, stay healthy, and actually see results from the work you're putting in. Spoiler: it's not about trying harder; it's about finally doing the right things in the right way.So if you've ever thought, “Ugh, I'm working so hard and nothing's happening…” this one's for you. You are stronger than you think. And it's time to prove it.What's Inside:Why strength training is non-negotiable for women over 40 (hint: it's way beyond “toning”)The three most common mistakes that keep women stuck and how to fix them once and for allThe truth about protein, carbs, and what your body actually needs to fuel muscle growthReal-life transformations from women who ditched diet culture and finally got strong AFSo let me ask you… what would getting strong mean for you? More confidence in the gym, finally feeling good in your body, or maybe just proving to yourself that it's not “too late”? Whatever it is, I want to hear it. Come hang with me on Instagram and tell me what being strong AF looks like in your world.Mentioned in this episode:Healthy As Fck*Oonagh Duncan on InstagramFit Feels Good Strong AFLeave me a voice note on Speak Pipe!

"I want to show you what I'm capable of..." - CamisraThis night demonstrates a very different side of me... it's pretty rare that I play a peak hour tech house set and I'm thrilled with how this one turned out. You're either gonna think it's the best set I've ever played... or just feel that it's not what you expected from me. Either way... I'm super proud of it. Put it on at the afties (lock the doors, lower the blinds, fire up the smoke machine... you know the drill!)...and go to work.Despite the thunderstorm at the start of the night, the crowd in Provincetown turned out strong on the night before the 4th of July. A major thanks to Steve Azar, Mike Akerman, and Matt Acevedo for taking such good care of me and welcoming me to Gifford House & Purgatory for the first time! Chris Cruse was a hard act to follow from the night before, but I hope I did the town proper.For those who read my long-winded captions to the end, thank you for indulging me. I'd love to hear your thoughts on this set in the comments.

Barbells, dumbbells, bands, machines: how do you know which to use? In this episode, I discuss what equipment to use and when. If you've not been getting the results you want in your strength training, this episode is for you. You'll learn about why one tool might be better for your goals than the other, what each one actually does to your muscles and your bones, and how to safely progress from dumbbells to barbells. I see too many women avoid the barbell because they are intimidated, scared, or uncertain, think it's only for gym bros, or that they will get bulky. It's just not true! I share the story of my friend Jane, who very slowly journeyed from using limited weights in her living room to the dumbbell section at her gym to using all of the equipment on the main gym floor. The barbell back squat completely transformed her routine! If you are a true student of technique, there comes a point where transitioning to the barbell rack will transform your training unlike dumbbells ever could. Remember, you define what progress means. Barbells are a great option if that is what you want!The next thing to understand when building muscle is that, regardless of the equipment you're using, improvements in muscular strength and size are the result of mechanical tension and/or metabolic stress when there is sufficient volume. What that means is, the only way a muscle can grow, change, and improve is through tension, stress, and a minimum effective dose each week. You will not build muscle if you're not getting enough stimulus according to these parameters: weight load, intensity, and enough repetitions each week.It is possible to change your body with just dumbbells and bands, but you have to be a lot more passionate about your programming, your technique, your methodologies, and the complexity of your movements. I believe, however, that it's easier to use a barbell. I share the specific benefits of each type of exercise equipment. Barbells, for instance, are great for reducing the need for stability and provide a greater challenge in general. Again, at some point, if you want to continue to train with greater weight loads and good technique, you will have to transition to barbells. To improve any muscle, it must be exposed to a force that's intense enough to cause some degree of muscle stress and damage. Because the best results come when there is both mechanical tension, which means a heavy weight load, and metabolic stress, it underscores the value of bigger movements that involve multiple muscles and your entire body as a whole. I think the concept of weight-bearing exercise for good bones is really BS because the truth is, your muscles and your bones are already used to your current body weight. Impact exercises are a great way to improve bones. Ultimately, anything is better than nothing. If you're strength training, first make sure that you are challenging your muscles beyond their current ability, and if that's with dumbbells and bands, I'm sending you a high five!
