Podcasts about lifting weights

Last week Coach Frank Overton walked through FasCat's 10 week, 4 phase weight lifting program: the lifts, the sets, the reps, and the 10 watts or more our athletes gain from it. This week is the part nobody writes down: how to actually do it when you have a job, a family, a long ride on Saturday, and a gym that closes at 9. Follow the 10 week weight lifting plan FREE for 1 week referenced in this podcast: https://app.fascat.ai/ What you'll learn: ▶ The pro's & con's of lifting at home or going to a gym ▶ How to find your 1 rep max safely, and know how much to lift each set & rep ▶ The warm-up: on the bike vs. in the gym, and how long it should take  ▶ Riding and lifting on the same day: which comes first and what to skip  ▶ What to do when you miss a session, get sick, or travel ▶ Soreness that's normal in the Hypertrophy phase vs. soreness that means back off ▶ Gym substitutions when your gym doesn't have a leg press or hamstring curl machine Whether you have a full gym membership, a squat rack in the garage, or 40 minutes on a Tuesday, there's a version of this program that fits.

Elbow pain is one of the most common things that people struggle with in their first year of strength training. This is one of the things I really wish I'd known when I started. I noticed elbow pain about 6 months in, ignored it for way too long, and it took months to clear. In this episode, I share what I wish I'd known back then:Why it's more common in midlifeThe common mistakes that cause it3 ways to avoid itEnjoy the show!Resources Mentioned:My Versa Gripps and the rest of the gear I actually useLift-IT, my $27 strength training kickstartJoin the MembershipAll my programsSend me your thoughts

Hey friend, can we talk about procrastination for a second? I don't mean the "I'll clean my closet later" kind. I mean the deeper stuff, the "I keep telling myself I'll start eating better, I'll start working out, I'll get serious about this... eventually" kind. If that sounds painfully familiar, this episode is for you. I've been sitting with this topic a lot lately, partly because of some health stuff I've been navigating personally, and partly because I hear this same story from so many women I work with. We know what we're supposed to do. We even want to do it. But somehow we just... don't. And then we beat ourselves up over it, which honestly makes everything worse. So today I'm pulling back the curtain a little on what's really going on underneath that stuck feeling, why habit building feels so much harder than it should, and what I've learned (through some pretty unexpected life experience) about what actually helps people follow through when change feels too big to tackle. I also get a little vulnerable about something I've been walking through personally, because I think it's important for you to know I'm not just talking theory here. I'm in it too. If you've ever wondered why knowing what to do isn't the same as actually doing it, come sit with me for this one. I think you'll walk away seeing your own procrastination in a whole new light.

In this episode of Sweat Local, we talk about why strength training becomes even more important after 40. From building muscle and improving balance to protecting your joints and maintaining independence, lifting weights is one of the best investments you can make in your future self. You're not too old, and it's never too late to get stronger.

Cardio has been the default prescription for heart health for decades, but a growing body of evidence suggests we've been overlooking a major protective tool: strength training. We dig into a large, long-running research dataset that followed more than 117,000 women for nearly 15 years and found a powerful link between resistance training and lower heart attack risk. The number that stops people in their tracks: at least two hours of weekly strength training was associated with a dramatically lower risk of heart attack, with meaningful reductions in major cardiovascular events too.We also slow down and explain what those results do and don't mean. Because the study is observational, it can't prove that lifting weights directly prevents heart attacks. So we talk through why associations can still be useful, what “dose dependent” patterns add to the story, and how lifestyle factors like sleep, nutrition, and smoking can blur the picture. Then we connect the dots on plausible mechanisms, including better blood pressure control, improved insulin sensitivity, healthier body composition, less visceral fat, and protection against age-related muscle loss and declining function.If lifting feels intimidating, we make it practical. You don't need to live in the gym or become a powerlifter to get benefits. We share an achievable weekly target (think 90 to 120 minutes), simple ways to start with dumbbells, resistance bands, machines, or bodyweight movements, and why pairing strength training with aerobic exercise may be the best overall approach for cardiovascular disease prevention.If this helped you rethink your workout plan, subscribe, share the episode with a friend, and leave a review so more people can find the show.

In this Bitesize episode, we revisit a key conversation on why resistance training and fat loss need to be treated as two separate goals — and why blending them usually backfires. This short-form cut pulls together the core science on training for muscle/strength versus training for calorie burn, why "lifting to near failure" matters more than the weight on the bar, and a practical progression toward an unassisted pull-up. It also revisits the protein research: why menopausal women are commonly deficient, and how simply increasing protein intake can drive meaningful fat loss and lean mass gains — no calorie-cutting required. WHAT YOU'LL LEARN Why lifting heavy, moderate, or light doesn't matter for muscle growth — but matters enormously for building strength How to structure your resistance training if your goal is to build or maintain muscle versus increase strength Why treating your lifting sessions as a "calorie-burning workout" can undermine both your strength and muscle-building results A practical progression (band-assisted reps, then eccentric lowering) for working toward an unassisted pull-up Why menopausal-aged women are commonly deficient in protein, and what happens when protein intake alone is increased The optimal protein target (1.6g/kg or ~0.75g/lb of body weight per day) for maximizing lean mass and fat loss Where protein intake starts to hit diminishing returns KEY TAKEAWAYS Separate Your Training Goals: Muscle growth responds to sets taken near failure regardless of load; strength gains require heavier weights. Combining strength/muscle work with calorie-burning goals in the same session tends to produce lower-quality training on both fronts. Progression Over Perfection for Pull-Ups: Band-assisted reps followed by slow eccentric (lowering) practice is an effective, movement-specific path to an unassisted pull-up — though the strength requires ongoing maintenance to keep. Protein Is an Underused Lever: Many menopausal-aged women fall well below optimal protein intake (studies cite averages around 70g/day). Increasing protein alone — without cutting calories — has been shown to reduce body fat and increase lean mass. Diminishing Returns Above ~0.75g/lb: Protein benefits continue to accrue above the optimal threshold but with steadily smaller returns, so hitting "close enough" still delivers most of the benefit. BEST MOMENTS "Lifting heavy or light really doesn't matter if you're trying to build muscle... it does matter if you're trying to increase strength." "As soon as we start looking at our lifting programs as a way to burn more calories... that's when we start to say, 'I'm going to lift for two hours.' And those sets usually tend not to be very high quality." "The act of increasing protein resulted in a significant gain of lean mass and a significant loss of body fat."

Not to sound like a gym bro…but the science is clear: more of us should start lifting. Strength training is when you lift weights or use your own body weight to build muscle — and it's not just about toning up or getting ripped. A new study found it can actually help you live longer. So why is it so good for your health - and how can you start doing more of it?Health correspondent Melissa Hogenboom joins us to unpack the latest studies on strength training and why we're seeing a rise in its popularity. Personal trainer and nutritionist Luke Hanna explains the science behind the long-term health benefits of lifting weights.

  Lose 10-20 lbs In 8 weeks  - https://ericrobertsfitness.com/erf-1on1.html On today's episode I break down the three mistakes that are quietly wrecking your workouts — starting with the warmup everyone thinks is helping them but is actually draining their strength before they even touch a weight. I get into why most of your reps in a set don't build any muscle at all, and the exact part of the set that does. I also walk through why your workout split might be capping your results without you realizing it, using two client transformations — Kylie and Dan — to show what changes when you fix it. 90 Day Clubhouse Kickstart Program- https://ericrobertsfitness.com/clubhouse-page.html Free Calorie Calculator https://ericrobertsfitness.com/free-calorie-calculator/ Buy One, Get One 50% Off, Legion Athletic Supplements Code “ERIC” HERE https://legionathletics.rfrl.co/qj2dy Youtube Channel https://www.youtube.com/@ericrobertsfitness Video Podcast: https://www.youtube.com/@EricRobertsFitnessPodcast

A huge new study involving 150,000 participants, and 30 years of data has just confirmed what we've always believed: lifting weights helps you live longer. In this episode, Frank and Katie break down what the research actually says, what 90 minutes a week of strength training can do for your health, and why it's never too late to start. Whether you're a complete beginner or just need a reminder of why you bother showing up,this one's for you.

Can lifting weights slow how fast your brain ages?A new study used brain scans to measure exactly that. The results show that resistance training is a uniquely beneficial tool for brain health that works through different pathways than cardio.Lifting weights can make the brain test younger on functional MRI, and the benefits may keep compounding even long after you train. Learn what brain age measures, why the prefrontal cortex matters for Alzheimer's and cognitive aging, the muscle-to-brain signaling system activated by strength training, and how heavy lifting compares to moderate intensity for protecting the brain after 40. Plus a quick self-check for strength-related dementia risk, especially after 40. Enroll in Eat More Lift Heavy, the 26-week coached program where adults over 40 build the nutrition and training skills to lift heavy, build muscle, lose fat, and stay strong and sharp for decades. Timestamps:0:00 - Lifting weights and brain aging 0:47 - Dementia risk and strength training over 40 3:58 - Aerobic exercise and the hippocampus 6:00 - Prefrontal cortex and muscle signaling 7:48 - Recent study and brain age scans 10:21 - Brain age gap and dementia risk 11:30 - Results across both lifting intensities 13:12 - Myokines, irisin, and BDNF 16:57 - How to build skills for lifting weights 18:30 - Lifting protocol for brain health 20:45 - Entry points for new lifters 24:15 - Grip strength and dementia risk

Strength training is having a massive moment for women in midlife, but it comes with a silent side effect showing up in clinical offices: pelvic organ prolapse. In this "15-Minute Consult," Dr. Rachel Pope sits down with Dr. Jessica Jenkins, PT, DPT, ATC, to discuss how to protect your pelvic floor while lifting heavy, managing internal abdominal pressure, and keeping your organs exactly where they belong.Key Takeaways: Prolapse Isn't Just for Older Women: Heavy lifting can bring undetected pelvic organ prolapse to light even in young, active women in their 20s who have never given birth. The Danger of Holding Your Breath: Holding your breath or bearing down (Valsalva) during standard strength training acts exactly like straining on the toilet, sending massive downward pressure straight onto your bladder and uterus. The Golden Rule of Lifting: When the movement gets hard, breathe out. On the exertion phase (like pushing up from a squat), exhale, pull in your lower abs, and engage your pelvic floor (Kegel) to push the pressure upward. Listen to Your Body: Experiencing a distinct heaviness or a "tampon is stuck inside" sensation during or after a workout means the weight is too heavy, the pace is too fast, or your mechanics need a reassessment. Underutilized Support Tools: Pessaries (silicone support rings) can be worn strictly as "sports gear" to physically support tissues during workouts. Localized estrogen is also highly effective for restoring tissue extensibility before diving into core rehab. The Power of Hypopressives: This specialized vacuum-breathing technique creates negative pressure in the abdomen, involuntarily lifting the pelvic floor up and in to help train the abdominal wall to support internal organs.Quick Training Tips: Never hold your breath during the exertion or lifting portion of an exercise. Exhale and contract your pelvic floor as you lift to redirect internal pressure safely toward your diaphragm.About Guest Expert Dr. Jessica Jenkins:Dr. Jessica Jenkins is a Doctor of Physical Therapy, Certified Athletic Trainer, and the founder of the Cleveland Pelvic Wellness Center. Driven by her own experience navigating a pelvic floor injury as a competitive cross-country and track athlete, she blends sports medicine principles with specialized pelvic floor rehabilitation to help active individuals master core stability and pressure management.Connect & Resources: Learn More About Dr. Jenkins: Cleveland Pelvic Wellness Center Watch on YouTube: Our Womanity ChannelFree Resources: Get your free copies of: ➡️ The Proactive Perimenopause Guide➡️ "She's Just Under Construction" partner GuideDisclaimer: This podcast is for educational purposes only and is not a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.

In this episode, I answer 10 common questions about training close to failure—one of the most misunderstood topics in strength training and muscle growth. I cover what “training to failure” actually means, whether beginners should do it, how close to failure you really need to train for muscle growth, why many people underestimate workout intensity, and whether pushing every set to the limit is actually helping or hurting your progress.

Kenny Webster interviews JD Shipley of Starting Strength. 

Rest periods are one of the most ignored parts of training, and they're often the reason you're exhausted but not actually getting stronger. This episode of Broads is about removing the guesswork. We break down what rest periods do, why more sweat doesn't equal better results, and how mismatching your rest to your goal can stall progress without you realizing it. If your lifts feel inconsistent, your workouts feel randomly hard or way too easy, or you're spending forever in the gym without seeing results, your rest between sets might be the missing piece. That's what this episode is all about. What's Discussed: (00:48) Why rest periods are an overlooked driver of strength and muscle gains (03:25) ATP, creatine phosphate, and what actually recovers between sets (05:03) How rest determines strength, hypertrophy, or endurance outcomes (06:51) Why heavy lifts require three to five minutes of rest (07:46) Using shorter rest to create metabolic stress for muscle growth (09:13) How short rest trains fatigue tolerance and muscular endurance (10:52) What breaks when rest is too short or too long (15:41) Why timing rest separates training from random workouts Head to https://www.broads.app/broadscoach and apply for BroadsCOACH.

Get 20% off through February 17:http://bit.ly/fitness-lab-pod20--You've been told cardio is for a healthy heart and lifting weights is for building muscle. But what if strength training is itself a form of cardio?What if you're ignoring one of the most effective tools for lowering blood pressure, improving cholesterol, and reducing your risk of heart disease?Philip breaks down the evidence showing that strength training lowers blood pressure on par with first-line medication, improves HDL and LDL cholesterol, enhances insulin sensitivity, and reduces visceral fat, all independent of cardio. You'll learn why your muscle tissue functions as a metabolic organ that regulates blood sugar, why adults who lift have up to 17% lower cardiovascular disease risk, and how to program your lifting sessions to get a real cardiovascular training effect without adding time on the treadmill. Philip also answers listener Jack R.'s question comparing cardio and lifting head-to-head for fat loss, muscle building, and long-term sustainability after 40. Whether you're already strength training over 40 or still treating the weight room as optional for heart health and longevity, this episode gives you the evidence-based case for making lifting your foundation.Timestamps:0:00 - Why "cardio for your heart" is incomplete 1:43 - The 2023 AHA statement about lifting weights and heart health 5:28 - How strength training lowers blood pressure as much as medication 7:11 - Nitric oxide, arterial stiffness, and improved blood vessels 9:27 - Cholesterol, triglycerides, and ApoB improvements 13:17 - Why muscle is your most powerful metabolic organ for insulin and blood sugar 15:20 - Cardio vs. lifting for fat loss and building muscle after 40 18:01 - Visceral fat, inflammation, and menopause 19:47 - Can lifting weights improve VO2max? 22:01 - Longevity data and the minimum dose of strength training for heart health 23:57 - How to get cardiovascular benefits WITHOUT extra cardio 26:04 - Rest periods, compound movements, and rep ranges for heart-healthy lifting 28:59 - Weekly template combining strength training and walking 30:59 - Physical reserve and why strength protects your heart all day 33:04 - Bonus: 10-second heart rate recovery test you can do between sets

Get direct coaching, the flexible framework, holiday nutrition strategies, and travel workout templates you need to protect your metabolism through the holidays:https://live.witsandweights.com--If you're trying to lose weight by focusing on diet, cardio, and steps but skipping the weight room, you're not just leaving results on the table. You're actively suppressing your metabolism, wrecking your body composition, and almost guaranteeing weight regain with more body fat.Discover why strength training isn't optional during fat loss... it's the primary metabolic lever that determines whether you end up lean and strong or skinny, weak, and fighting your metabolism. Learn why up to 30% of weight loss without lifting comes from muscle (not fat), how muscle acts as your metabolic engine for insulin sensitivity and longevity, and the minimum effective dose of lifting that protects everything you're working for. You'll understand the hormonal consequences of diet-only weight loss, why building muscle is your retirement fund for healthy aging, and how resistance training transforms your identity from "someone on a diet" to "someone who trains." This evidence-based approach shows you exactly how to build muscle, lose fat, and create sustainable body recomp, even if you're over 40 and starting from scratch.Episode Resources:3-Week Strong Finish Challenge - Kickoff December 8th at 5pm Eastern: https://live.witsandweights.comTimestamps:0:00 - Why skipping strength training during weight loss is terrible 2:50 - How losing muscle creates the weight regain trap 6:30 - The body composition truth: looking lighter but weaker without lifting 10:24 - Hormonal consequences and metabolic adaptation during fat loss 14:26 - Minimum effective dose for building muscle and preserving strength 21:17 - Strength training for longevity (not just vanity) 24:52 - Why muscle compounds like retirement savings 28:42 - Becoming someone who trains is a permanent identity shiftSupport the show

In this episode of the Modern Man Podcast, host Ted engages with Mike Bledsoe, a performance philosopher and leadership coach, discussing the journey of men in pursuit of success and fulfillment. They explore themes of emotional resilience, self-awareness, and the transformative power of fear. Mike shares his personal experiences, including his transition from fitness coaching to emotional development, and the importance of understanding one's emotions as a pathway to personal growth. The conversation culminates in the introduction of the Full Stack community, aimed at helping men navigate their emotional landscapes and achieve sustainable success.   Takeaways Men often feel isolated and unfulfilled despite chasing success. Self-awareness is crucial for personal growth and transformation. Fear can be a powerful motivator if understood correctly. Emotional intelligence is key to achieving peak performance. Personal development requires a balance between heart and mind. The body holds significant intelligence that informs our emotions. Relationships can serve as mirrors for personal growth. It's important to embrace emotions rather than suppress them. Finding peace can enhance passion and productivity. The journey of self-discovery is ongoing and multifaceted.   Chapters  00:00 – Awakening A Cycle Of Clarity (Teaser) 00:47 – Introduction to the Modern Man Podcast 02:02 – Meet Mike Bledsoe: A Journey of Transformation 03:41 – The Evolution of Self-Awareness 07:35 – The Role of Fear in Success 15:07 – Finding Peace Amidst Achievement 20:11 – Rewiring Relationships with Fear and Success 27:50 – Understanding Success and Awareness 28:57 – The Body as a Gateway to Awakening 37:51 – Emotional Intelligence and Its Impact 49:09 – The Full Stack Community and Its Mission   Bledsoe's Links Website: bledsoe.life  YouTube: MikeBledsoe Instagram: mike_bledsoe Free eBook Here: Mastering Self-Development: Strategies of the New Masculine: https://rebrand.ly/m2ebook   ⚔️JOIN THE NOBLE KNIGHTS MASTERMIND⚔️ https://themodernmanpodcast.com/thenobleknights  

This episode might shake some foundations.Because we're diving into something almost no one talks about… But it might be the single most misunderstood and misused variable in your training.Rest. That's right. Rest periods.And no — I'm not talking about sleeping at night or taking a rest day. I'm talking about those 30 seconds... 60 seconds... 2 minutes... The space between your sets.Most people I coach — whether in my group fitness classes or one-on-one — they think just because they're lifting weights, they're doing strength training. But that's not how the body works.You can be holding a barbell and still not be strength training.What determines whether your training builds strength, muscle, endurance, or just gets you sweaty — Isn't the exercise. It's the stimulus. And REST is a major part of that stimulus.Resources:Brain.fm App(First month Free, then 20% off subscription)Discount Code: coachdamiensdCaldera Lab Skin Carewww.calderalab.comDiscount Code: CoachDLinks:IG:@coachdamien_sd@damienrayevans@livinthedream_podcast YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCS6VuPgtVsdBpDj5oN3YQTgFB:https://www.facebook.com/coachdamienSD/

Today's episode delves into the science-backed benefits, safety, and programming principles of youth resistance training. We're here to bust common myths: lifting won't stunt growth! In fact, it's more crucial than ever for children to engage in resistance training.Curious about what resistance training looks like for kids? Wondering about strength gains before puberty or the safety of 1-rep max testing? We've got you covered. Resistance training is a safe, smart, and essential way to build a strong foundation, prevent injuries, and boost confidence. It's not about creating tiny bodybuilders, but rather improving movement quality and overall well-being. With proper supervision, good technique, and a fun environment, resistance training can become a valuable lifelong skill.Links: AAP Clinical Report (2020, reaffirmed 2024)Brain BalanceKidStrong The information shared in this podcast is not intended as medical advice.

Today we're talking about resistance training. When we think of exercising in our 70s and 80s, we often focus on gentle activities like walking or swimming some lengths in a pool. However, are we overlooking a crucial part of the fitness puzzle? Something that could truly transform our later years: Strength training. Because as we age, muscle loss isn't just about losing tone - it's about losing independence. Dr. Brad Schoenfeld joins me to share how resistance training can preserve strength, improve mobility, and support a long and active life. Whether you've got five minutes or fifty, he'll show you how to get started - no gym membership required.
