Ever wonder how someone flips the switch from doughnut-devouring to dumbbell-dominating? This week, Dawson from Grubb N Gains pulls up a chair and spills the beans on his jaw-dropping shift from a 300-pound teen to a fitness maestro. We chew through his life of heartache, heavy lifting, and tearing his hamstring, all while sipping our beloved energy drinks and dissecting gym culture's high-octane obsession. As the conversation heats up, we take a moment to revel in the sweat and satisfaction of manual labor, from the gritty grind at coal plants to the power of community that comes with tough jobs. Finally, we lace up our storytelling boots for a glimpse into the excitement of launching a podcast and the adrenaline-charged anticipation of bodybuilding's main stage. Mitch might flex on us unexpectedly, but it's all in good fun – so join us, and let's get pumped together on this wild ride through the worlds of fitness and wellness!0:00 Body Transformation and Fitness Journey5:28 Low Testosterone and Hormone Replacement Exploration12:37 Managing Hormones and Blood Tests24:14 Benefits and Connotations of Testosterone Therapy27:56 Steroids, Gym Culture, Energy Drinks32:04 Reviewing Energy Drinks42:39 The Joys of Hard Work46:38 Coal Plants and Power Production55:34 Starting a Podcast and Exploring BodybuildingCollege Peep Show Merch Check out CPS gear and use code: ONTAP for 10% off your orderMagic Mind, The Worlds First Focus Drink Work Smarter Not Harder.

Today's episode features strength and performance coach DJ Murakami. DJ has over 15 years of experience in the coaching realm, and has a wide history of movement practice which includes work in bodybuilding, Olympic lifting, rock lifting, movement culture (such as Ido Portal), rock climbing and more. DJ has created training courses such as Chi Torque, the Predator Protocol, and others, and mentors coaches and fitness enthusiasts through his Human Strong training organization. In today's strength and fitness world, it's almost easier to tell individuals the things they shouldn't do than what they should. Given all of the existing systems in strength and performance training, we can create excessive and robotic training programs that take us far from the core of our humanity, and therefore our potential to enjoy, connect with, and adapt to the work we are doing. DJ Murakami is a coach who has studied a massive number of systems and methods, as well as having trained, himself, in a large variety of movement and strength expressions. Through it all, DJ has acquired knowledge on how to make training as effective as possible for each individual without over complicating and over-coaching the process. On the podcast today, he shares his athletic and coaching background, and then goes into how his coaching has evolved into what it is today: a system that prioritizes the “quest” of those he is working with, within each session. He also shares his knowledge of the internal and external muscle torque system (created by Julien Pineau) which can not only simplify the way we look at exercise selection, and the purpose of various movements, but also gives us an effective way to help athletes and individuals embody and understand muscle tensioning in the scope of their athleticism. DJ is a wise coach who walks his talk on a high level in addition to his powerful training insights.

Timestamps and Main Points: 3:32 – The systems and schools of thought DJ has gone through in his career as an athlete and coach 12:51 – DJ's athletic background, and how his movement practices have helped form his coaching intuition 15:03 – How DJ structures and runs a session now, given his evolution as a coach, and how to allow them a “win” and a positive experience in the training session 20:56 – DJ's take on coaching and influencing technique as an athlete moves forward in training 23:22 – Making things task oriented, and putting meaning and problem solving into the movement 29:54 – Using things like sandbags as opposed to using barbells in training 32:40 – The concept of internal vs. external torque chains in human movement and strength training 43:47 – Principles behind “chi-torque” and communicating principles of tension to the individual “The best seminar I ever took as far as gains after that leveled me up, was a Jon North seminar…. it was pretty much pumping us up all day, to fear nothing. I hit a bunch of PR's” “Can you bias someone's movement output without making it a cognitive task; I think that's how we learn is stories” “I think people would be surprised at how much (changing mindset) before going into an experience will change things” “I made the mistake of over-coaching early on, no-cebo'ing people, and not building relationships… I learned the hard way of failing and figuring out that working with another human being and not fixing a car in the shop” “Create the least amount of cognitive barriers as possible (to training)” “The goal is always success, let them win at the workout” “With naming an exercise comes a baggage,
