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.

#1 New York Times bestselling author Dean Koontz spoke with me about his secret desire to run away with the carnival, struggling as a young writer, finding his voice, the evolution of his process, and his latest novel THE FRIEND OF THE FAMILY. International bestselling author Dean Koontz was a senior in college when he won an Atlantic Monthly fiction competition. He has never looked back. Koontz has written over 120 novels, been published in over 38 countries, and sold an incredible 500 million copies to date.   His masterful suspense thrillers, which blend science fiction, horror, crime and comedy, have earned him worldwide acclaim–and 14 hardback #1 NYT bestsellers–making him one of only a dozen writers to achieve that milestone (incl. One Door Away From Heaven, From the Corner of His Eye, Midnight, Cold Fire, The Bad Place, Hideaway, Dragon Tears, Intensity, Sole Survivor, The Husband, Odd Hours, Relentless, What the Night Knows, and 77 Shadow Street). His latest novel, The Friend of the Family, is described as the story of “A girl liberated from a carnival sideshow [who] discovers her mysterious purpose in a moving novel about family, sacrifice, and transcendent love…” Dean Koontz has been hailed by Rolling Stone as “America's most popular suspense novelist,” and The New York Times has called his writing “psychologically complex, masterly and satisfying.” Many of his books have been made into films.

Episode 15 is a different kind of New Year's Eve conversation—less “resolution energy,” more real life, real leadership, real presence.Jay Doran and Jenna Silverman sit down with Michael Allosso and Joseph Iredell during the 2025 Lollapalooza to unpack the theme:“Life is not a problem to be solved, but a reality to be experienced.”From the jump, it's personal—Mike Calhoun has officially tapped out after an all-day hosting marathon, and Jenna steps in to co-lead the room. What follows is a layered discussion about the words that shaped 2025 and the words driving 2026:Michael Allosso (2025): Seen & Heard — the ache of invisibility, and the power of making people feel visible.Michael (2026): Intensity — no more passive interactions; every moment becomes an event, with real stakes.Joseph Iredell: moves from Understanding into Dominance for 2026—less introspection, more execution, and refusing to “play defense” after momentum is built.Jenna: reflects on Faith in 2025 and anchors 2026 in Surrender—letting go of forced outcomes while staying disciplined about clarity, communication, and aligned action.The episode also hits a few Culture Matters gold veins: casting vs. hiring, why leaders misplace people into roles that drain them, and why “stakes” change everything—your tone, your preparation, your presence, and the way people remember you.They close by wrestling with a big question: How do you teach values in a way that's engaging—lived, not lectured?The answer keeps circling back to the same truth: values become real when they show up inside conversations, decisions, and the way we treat people when no one's watching.If you're heading into 2026 craving more presence, more purpose, and fewer forced outcomes—this one will land.

Turning Vision Into Action: A Better Way to Execute Part 2 shifts from insight to application. Dan breaks down how leaders can translate long-term vision into focused, repeatable execution — without burning out or losing adaptability. Summary Dan walks through the structure and mindset of the 12-Week Year, explaining how shorter planning cycles, weekly scorekeeping, and fewer priorities help leaders move faster and smarter. Mike connects the framework to leadership behaviors, strategic thinking, and real-world performance in uncertain environments. Key Discussion Points Why shrinking timeframes increases energy and focus How weekly feedback loops improve performance The danger of treating plans as to-do lists Why strategic thinking requires protected time Highlights The 12-Week Year as a leadership mindset Why five priorities outperform ten How weekly reviews replace annual frustration Intensity paired with recovery sustains performance Key Takeaways Strategy lives in execution, not intention Shorter cycles create faster learning Planning is leadership work, not admin work Focused systems outperform motivated chaos Suggested Next Steps Define 3–5 priorities for your next 12 weeks Schedule a weekly 10–15 minute review Protect time for thinking, not just doing Connect with Dan Mintz on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dan-mintz/

Episode 14 of the New Year's Eve Lollapalooza gets loud—in the best way.Jay Doran and co-host Mike Calhoun are joined by Brad Lea, Jenna Silverman, Anthony Mirarchi, Benny Fisher, and Fobby Naghmi for a rapid-fire, high-trust conversation about the words that will define 2026—and the decisions that will shape everything that follows.The theme that keeps surfacing: you don't change your life by wanting it… you change your life by choosing it.Here's what each guest is carrying into 2026:Jay: Love (after Intensity) — bringing people together, leading with courage, and reclaiming parts of himself he shelved along the way.Jenna: Surrender (after Faith) — releasing forced outcomes, tightening clarity and communication, and building Culture Matters with alignment and trust.Benny: Stewardship — honoring what he's already been entrusted with, shifting from builder to caretaker, and going deeper with fewer relationships.Fobby: Certainty — and the story behind it: how one question from Brad unlocked a decade of weight and redirected his trajectory.Anthony: Enriched / Enriching — getting uncomfortable again, creating new products in commercial insurance, and thinking roll-ups, M&A, and bigger plays.Brad: starts with Unrecognizable… then evolves it into Choice — because free will is the overlooked superpower and better decisions compound into better lives.There are also practical gems throughout: create and publish daily, don't “make the content content,” stop negotiating with fear, and build real momentum through consistent revenue-generating action.If you're stepping into 2026 hungry for a reset—this episode is a jolt of clarity.

The OCR Underground Show Episode 115 Show Notes   When it comes to endurance, OCR, and hybrid race training, one of the most common questions athletes ask is: Should I focus more on training volume or training intensity? In this episode, I break down a major research review examining how different types of training—low-intensity endurance work, high-intensity intervals, and sprint training—affect key physiological markers like mitochondrial density, capillary development, and VO₂ max. The findings offer important insight into why both volume and intensity matter, but also why understanding when and how to use each is critical for long-term performance. What the Research Really Says About Volume vs Intensity The review analyzed hundreds of studies and thousands of participants, comparing how different training intensities drive aerobic adaptations. While high-intensity training and sprint intervals can improve aerobic fitness quickly and efficiently, lower-intensity, higher-volume training plays a foundational role by supporting capillary development, metabolic efficiency, and long-term durability. In other words, intensity can jump-start fitness—but volume helps sustain it. This distinction is especially important during the off-season, when the goal should shift away from constant high stress and toward building the systems that support future performance. Why the Off-Season Matters More Than You Think Rather than chasing peak fitness year-round, the off-season is where athletes lay the groundwork for sustainable progress. In this episode, I discuss how to approach the off-season with intention by focusing on four key pillars: 1. Conditioning Low- to moderate-intensity aerobic training helps improve mitochondrial function, capillary density, and recovery capacity. This type of conditioning builds the engine that higher-intensity training relies on later in the season. 2. Strength Training The off-season is the ideal time to address strength imbalances, improve movement quality, and develop functional strength without the fatigue of race-specific conditioning. This sets the stage for better power transfer and injury resilience in-season. 3. Staying Healthy Managing overall training stress is essential. Emphasizing lower-intensity work, improving recovery habits, and supporting joint and connective tissue health can help athletes avoid burnout and chronic injuries. 4. Nutrition Nutrition in the off-season should support recovery, adaptation, and long-term health—not just fueling hard workouts. I discuss how energy intake, protein, and carbohydrate timing can support aerobic development and training consistency.

Episode 11 of the New Year's Eve Lollapalooza is a brotherhood conversation — the kind that doesn't posture, doesn't perform, and doesn't pretend.Jay Doran and co-host Mike Calhoun are joined by Eddy Perez Jr., Brett Grossman, John New, and Darwin Roman to talk words for 2026, the cost of leadership, and what it really looks like to keep showing up when life gets heavy.The words on the table set the tone fast:Darwin: Value — not just what you bring to others, but what you require for yourself (boundaries included).Eddy: Atonement — owning the moments you knew better and didn't listen to yourself.Brett: Self-Actualization — becoming the man you're capable of being, day by day.Mike: Different (and last year: Jubilee) — reset, rethink, and stop doing what no longer serves the mission.Jay: last year Intensity, this year Love — life isn't a problem to solve, it's a reality to experience.From there, the conversation turns real: building your “team” in relationships (assets vs. liabilities), why men often don't make the call when they're struggling, the pressure of being the one who always “handles it,” and the second-half adjustments that actually win championships — in business, fatherhood, and life.John New shares a powerful win: getting through years of divorce dynamics and choosing to “win with love” for his kids. Eddy opens up about identity, leadership, and why atonement starts with accountability. Brett talks honestly about weathering a financial storm and the quiet danger of carrying everything alone. Darwin brings it home with the hard lesson: if you don't respect your own value, you'll pay for it.If you're a man carrying pressure in silence — or you love someone who is — share this episode with a brother.

In this episode, Matt breaks down the volume vs intensity debate and explains why muscle growth is not about picking sides. The real win is consistently challenging your muscular work capacity using the balance of volume and intensity that fits your body, your lifestyle, and your preferences.Stronger By Science article: https://www.strongerbyscience.com/high-volume-vs-high-intensity/

Most people are not failing their fitness.They are following a system that was never designed for longevity, adaptability, or real life.In this episode of ALLSMITH, Bryce sits down with Clifton Harski, a movement educator and coach who has spent decades inside the fitness industry teaching, observing, and questioning what actually works.This conversation pulls back the curtain on why so many people feel sore, frustrated, or stuck despite training consistently. We explore how fitness became obsessed with intensity, aesthetics, and shortcuts while quietly abandoning movement quality, skill acquisition, and long term capability.Using powerful metaphors, real coaching stories, and honest observations from years in the trenches, this episode reframes fitness not as something you survive, but something that should support your life.This is not an attack on training hard.It is a call to train intelligently.If you have ever felt like your body is “broken” even though you are doing all the right things, this episode will help you see the bigger picture.⸻What This Episode Explores00:00 Why this conversation matters and how we got here03:20 Clifton's origin story and early relationship with movement09:10 The difference between learning movement and memorizing exercises12:45 Why most programs chase output instead of capability18:30 Movement quality versus intensity and why order matters24:50 When coaching became cheering instead of teaching30:40 The myth of perfect form and why humans are not machines36:15 Be able.

The goal is resilience.Longevity is built through consistency, skill, and humility.This episode is for coaches, athletes, parents, professionals, and anyone who wants to move well and stay in the game for the long haul.⸻Ways to Go Deeper With ALLSMITHSubscribe to the ALLSMITH Podcast on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and YouTubeWatch full episodes and clips on YouTube and share what resonatesExplore ALLSMITH coaching for sustainable fitness, lifestyle design, and accountabilityShop ALLSMITH apparel built for training, living, and belongingJoin the ALLSMITH community and train with intention⸻Connect With UsBryce SmithInstagram @therealbrycesmithALLSMITHInstagram @allsmithcoWebsite allsmith.coClifton HarskiInstagram @cliftonharskiThank you for Listening!

Known for her clarity, skepticism, and ability to translate complex physiology into practical coaching decisions, Alyssa returns to the show to tackle one of the most misunderstood topics in modern fitness.In this episode, Alyssa joins Andrew Coates to unpack what she actually means when she says “most women would be better off if they trained more like men”—and why so much women-specific training advice is built on shaky assumptions, incentives, and half-understood biology.Rather than arguing for a one-size-fits-all approach, Alyssa makes a strong case for prioritizing training experience, individual capacity, and fundamentals over sex-based fear-mongering and hormonal hype.IN THIS EPISODE, ALYSSA SHARES INSIGHT ON:What she really means by “women should train more like men”The difference between women-based training evidence vs. women-based hypothesesWhy many popular influencers sell certainty without sufficient evidenceThe incentives behind unproven or disproven training narrativesWhy differences between individuals often matter more than sex differencesWhether women (or anyone) should fear cortisol spikes from intense trainingWhy stress is not inherently bad and how context mattersHow stress management actually fits into training and lifeWhy elevated heart rate during lifting is not cardioWhy strength training cannot replace cardiovascular trainingHow menstrual cycle considerations are often oversimplifiedAnd much moreInstagram: @doclyssfitnessCHAPTERS00:50 Debunking Fitness Myths: Training Like a Man01:14 The Importance of Structured Strength Training02:24 The Role of Intensity in Training03:28 Nutrition Tracking and the MacrosFirst App04:32 Programming for Women vs Men06:01 Understanding Stress and Hormones in Training12:26 Debunking Hormonal Hypotheses20:25 Fitness Status vs Sex Differences26:15 Hormonal Effects on Women's Training27:18 Menstrual Cycle and Training Adaptations29:16 Perception vs Physiological Impact32:13 Individual Variability in Menstrual Cycles34:03 Cardiovascular Responses and Training Adjustments38:24 Lifting vs Cardio: Clearing the Confusion46:35 The Importance of Cardiovascular Fitness52:00 Final Thoughts and TakeawaysSUPPORT THE SHOWIf this episode challenged your thinking, you can support the show by:Subscribing and checking out more episodesSharing it on social media (tag me — I will respond)Sending it to a coach or client confused by hormone-based fitness adviceFOLLOW ANDREW COATESInstagram: @andrewcoatesfitnesshttps://www.andrewcoatesfitness.comPARTNERS AND RESOURCESRP Strength App (use code COATESRP)https://www.rpstrength.com/coatesJust Bite Me Meals (use code ANDREWCOATESFITNESS for 10 percent off)https://justbitememeals.com/MacrosFirst – FREE Premium TrialDownload MacrosFirstDuring setup, answer: How did you hear about us?Type: ANDREWKNKG Bags (15 percent off)https://www.knkg.com/Andrew59676Versa Gripps (discount link)https://www.versagripps.com/andrewcoatesTRAINHEROIC – FREE 90 Day Trial (2 steps)Go to: https://www.trainheroic.com/liftfreeReply to the email you receive (or email trials@trainheroic.com) and let them know Andrew sent you

The NYE Lollapalooza is not about predictions or resolutions. It's about reflection, responsibility, and deciding—consciously—who you are becoming as the calendar turns.In Episode 1, Jay Doran opens the day alongside longtime collaborator and co-host Mike Calhoun for a wide-ranging, deeply philosophical conversation on growth, transformation, and personal ownership.They explore the idea that life can only be understood backward, but must be lived forward—and why a new year isn't a clean slate, but another shot to do it better. Through metaphors of fire, light, proximity, and chemical reactions, Jay and Mike unpack why some people ignite when placed in the right environments, while others remain “duds,” even when all the ingredients for growth are present.This episode dives into:Why real growth requires intensity, friction, and self-confrontationHow proximity to the right people creates transformation—if your mindset allows itThe danger of carrying old habits into a new year unchangedWhy repetition, practice, and responsibility are required to “grow your knife”The difference between collecting wisdom and actually activating itJay reflects on his word for the year shifting from Intensity to Love, framing love as “intensity externalized”—the act of caring deeply about the existence of another. Mike shares his own evolution from Recalibration to a defining word for the coming year: Different, underscoring the truth that better outcomes require different actions—and the strength to break old patterns.This episode sets the tone for the entire NYE Lollapalooza series:Think clearly. Take ownership. Be strong. Be different.And don't just sit in the room—leave it changed.

Most men are not failing because they lack effort. They are failing because their system does not fit their life.As I sit down with Eric Bach, we break down why driven men starting in their late 30s stop seeing progress, despite doing all the right things on paper. Eric has coached elite athletes and now works with busy parents and business owners who want results without burning out. We talk about why execution beats complexity, how real progress comes from nailing the basics consistently, smarter training for longevity, simplifying nutrition with the A.D.E. framework, and why sleep is one of the most overlooked performance tools of our health. This conversation is about building a training system that you can actually sustain.Stop spinning your wheels and start training in a way that supports your work, family, and long-term health — Tune in now.—--------------------Timestamp:00:00 – Episode Preview01:02 – Podcast Introduction01:32 – Eric Bach's Background02:48 – Coaching Busy Professionals04:03 – Training Principles vs Methods05:43 – Training as You Get Older07:12 – Coaching Experience Matters09:41 – Matching Training to Life11:20 – Stress and Recovery Balance13:11 – The A.D.E.

High-masking ND grind burning you out? In this episode of Adulting with Autism, host April tackles sustainable success for neurodivergent high-achievers with Garrett Wood, National Board-Certified Health and Wellness Coach/clinical hypnotherapist/executive functioning specialist and founder of Gnosis Therapy. With 18+ years helping masking professionals (autism/ADHD), Garrett's A³ Framework (Assess, Accommodate, Align) bridges nervous-system needs/environment demands—focusing on sensory intelligence/bio-budgets/emotional regulation/core beliefs/attachment/values/executive functioning to end boom-bust cycles. Key insights: High-masking exhaustion: Socialization gaps (hiding "not okay" parts); safe environments reduce friction—authentic self without danger. Sensory intelligence: Preferences/thresholds (too much/little stimulation); interoception (body cues like hunger/anxiety); accommodations (headphones/compression/breaks/sensory backpack). Bio-budgets/time under tension: ND shifts (16-18 hrs masking vs. NT 4-5 hrs); small reps/recovery (car breaks/garden/dust books) prevent overload. Autistic vs. NT burnout: Intensity/scale difference (ND extreme effort); recovery longer (6-7 months vs. quick)—focus well-being (not grit/willpower myth). Hypnotherapy: Self-hypnosis (daydream state for mindset/social/sleep); practice positive experiences (e.g., anxiety scenarios going well). A³ for control: Assess needs (triggers/supports), Accommodate (e.g., oils/masks), Align (values as guardrails); early overload signs (tension/shutdown). Workplace/young adults: Advocate (ROI from inclusion); trial/error (hot/cold days); natural responses (eat/move/sleep) over deadlines. For autistic/ADHD young adults/entrepreneurs in masking fatigue, Garrett's vibe: "Sustainable success through well-being—not expense." Free resources at gnosistherapy.com.

As a mom of four, Robin is passionate about building a company that aligns with her values - proving it's possible to grow a successful business while prioritizing family, health, and purpose. In this episode, Robin shares how nervous system dysregulation impacts exercise tolerance, blood sugar balance, hormone health, and mental well-being, especially for women in midlife. Together, Erin and Robin unpack why intensity isn't always better, how short consistent movement supports resilience, and how nourishment, breath, and self-compassion create true healing from the inside out. This conversation weaves science, psychology, and faith into a compassionate framework for sustainable strength, calm, and purpose, reminding us that wholeness begins when the body feels safe. Key Topics: - How Pilates rebuilds connection to the body instead of punishing it - The hidden nervous system cost of high-intensity, all-or-nothing workouts - Why consistency matters more than intensity for long-term health - Nervous system dysregulation, burnout, and midlife hormone shifts - How stress and over-exercise contribute to blood sugar dysregulation - Why protein, fat, and fiber stabilize both mood and energy - Nutrition “noise” to let go of (supplement overload, perfectionism) - Why the body can't heal if it doesn't feel safe - Redefining health beyond body size, aesthetics, and fitness culture - Self-compassion as a biological regulator, not just a mindset shift - Honoring your God-given purpose through sustainable care of your body Download Robin's Lindywell app to access her workouts, recipes, and mediations.

You can't build a skyscraper without the foundation.The tide can't always go out or the ocean disappears.UFC fighters don't fight every week because they'd break.This is about voltage. The wattage your being can handle. If you put a 60-volt bulb into a power center, it breaks. Your capacity must match the load. Professional athletes have fire in their hearts but they can't articulate why—they just know they have to prepare before they can go vertical. Sustainability without intensity is boring and stale. Intensity without sustainability is not fruitful. But when you bring them together? You get rhythm, dance, balance, cadence. You get music. You get beauty.Isolation connects you to spirit. Recovery lets you go hard again. You need to learn how to be gentle AND be an executor. Surrender AND be the boss. Because increasing your voltage isn't about obsessing your way to "more spiritual"—it's about commitment to alignment until the change becomes irreversible.This episode reveals how to increase the wattage you can handle, why isolation and recovery are necessary for sustainable intensity, and the irreversible nature of commitment to alignment.

Send us a textA minute that leaves you breathless can rival eight minutes of comfortable effort. That's the eye-opening takeaway we unpack as we dive into fresh UK Biobank data showing how vigorous activity dramatically outperforms moderate and light movement for reducing all-cause mortality, cardiovascular events, diabetes, and even cancer risk. We strip away jargon and use the talk test—can you sing, speak, or barely get a sentence out?—so anyone can gauge intensity without a lab or a smartwatch.We explore why intensity pays off under the hood: stronger left ventricular function, bigger stroke volume, better oxygen delivery, improved lactate recycling, greater capillary and mitochondrial density, and faster glycogen turnover. Then we get practical. No fancy gear required—try telephone-pole intervals on a walk, short hill surges, a flight of stairs at speed, or breathless bursts during yardwork and shoveling. Keep light movement threaded through your day to counter the stress signals of sitting, but add slim, safe slices of intensity to unlock outsized benefits when time is tight.We also lay out a sane progression. Find a steady state before nudging harder, start with tiny intervals, and build toward an 80 percent moderate base with 10 to 20 percent vigorous effort.

Send us a textThrowback Episode | The Anthony Amen Show (formerly Health & Fitness Redefined)What if the hardest part of fitness isn't the workout—but choosing the long game when no one's watching?In this throwback episode of The Anthony Amen Show, formerly known as Health & Fitness Redefined, Anthony sits down with Jordan Syatt to break down what actually drives long-term health, fat loss, and strength. From starting as an eight-year-old wrestler to becoming a science-driven coach, Jordan shares how consistency—not intensity—built his career, his online business, and his three-year run coaching Gary Vaynerchuk every single day with no breaks.This conversation goes deeper than workouts. We unpack the psychology of behavior change, why all-or-nothing thinking sabotages progress, and how food guilt turns small setbacks into spirals. Jordan explains how simple anchors—adequate protein, fiber, sleep, and just two strength training sessions per week—create momentum that actually lasts.As the founder of Redefine Fitness, Anthony connects these lessons directly to what he sees daily in a high-end personal training environment. We discuss why health outcomes continue to decline despite more gyms, more apps, and more information than ever—and how ultra-convenience, isolation, and hyper-palatable foods work against us. The solution isn't extremes; it's building systems, structure, and habits that make the healthy choice the easy choice.This episode reflects the core philosophy behind Redefine Fitness and The Anthony Amen Show: train smarter, build strength for life, and prioritize habits that improve physical and mental health long after the workout ends.If you're looking for a realistic, science-backed approach to strength training, fat loss, sustainable fitness, and long-term health, this episode delivers a clear blueprint.Subscribe to The Anthony Amen Show for expert conversations on fitness, nutrition, performance, and behavior change.
