Podcasts about Strength training

Want to improve your golf swing, mobility, and consistency on the course? In this episode of Healthy Living Scottsdale, Coaches Adam and Damon break down how functional strength training helps golfers increase swing speed, improve rotational power, enhance mobility, and create more consistent ball striking.

Strength training after 70 is not about pretending age does not matter. It is about adapting, staying consistent, and refusing to quit. In this episode of Beast Over Burden, Niki Sims and Andrew Jackson talk with Barbell Logic client Michael Taylor, a 73-year-old lifter who started strength training at 60 and has continued training through arthritis, joint pain, exercise modifications, and the normal challenges of aging. Michael shares how his training has changed over time, why he moved from some barbell lifts to machine variations, and how coaching has helped him continue training hard while managing pain and preserving quality of life. He also explains why he no longer obsesses over the weight, even though he still trains progressively and continues to hit PRs. This conversation is a powerful reminder that strength training for seniors is not about chasing your younger self. It is about building and maintaining the strength, muscle, discipline, and independence you need to live well.

In this episode of Future of Fitness, host Eric Malzone sits down with Dr. Tania Elliott—board-certified physician, three-time Chief Medical Officer, and a leading voice in healthcare innovation—to break down the collision course between the fitness industry and the future of preventative health. Dr. Elliott doesn't hold back: she calls out the fitness world for being too intense or too dainty, challenges the gatekeeping role of primary care, and paints a vivid picture of what the health club of the future should really look like. From the over-reliance on protocols and biohacking to the untapped power of community, nutrition, and strength training for women, this conversation is a bold, no-BS look at how fitness can evolve from a destination into a way of life. If you're ready to rethink everything you know about health, wellness, and the role of gyms in healthcare, this one's for you.

Send us Fan MailA few weeks ago, I realized something.I spend a lot of time thinking about women in midlife. I write content for them, coach them, record podcasts for them, and build programs for them. But I was starting to feel disconnected from the actual humans behind the screen.So I decided to stop guessing and start listening.For two weeks, I jumped on Zoom calls with dozens of women from my community. Smart women. Successful women. Funny women. Women who know more about nutrition and fitness than most people ever will. And yet so many of them were stuck.Not because they didn't know what to do.Because life is life.They were juggling aging parents, changing careers, grief, empty nests, injuries, stress, hormones, exhaustion, and the constant feeling that they were always starting over.What struck me wasn't how different their stories were. It was how similar they were.The same three themes came up again and again.First, consistency. Almost everyone told me some version of, "I know what to do, I just can't seem to keep doing it." And what became crystal clear is that motivation isn't the problem. Motivation is a mood. What actually matters is having a system that can survive real life.Second, midlife body changes. So many women felt betrayed by bodies that weren't responding the way they used to. We talked about what is actually happening during this phase of life, why your metabolism probably isn't broken, and why random workouts and extreme diets are no longer the answer.And third, overwhelm. The internet has turned fitness into a full-time research project. Women are drowning in conflicting advice, saved Instagram posts, meal plans, and fitness programs. The truth? Most of us don't need more information. We need less noise and more trust in ourselves.The biggest lesson from all these conversations was simple: fitness is not a project you complete. It's a skill you build.The goal isn't perfection.The goal is becoming the kind of woman who knows how to recover when life inevitably throws a wrench into the plan.That's where real confidence comes from.And honestly? That's what fitness mastery looks like.What's Inside:Why motivation is overrated and systems are what actually create consistencyThe truth about midlife body changes and why your metabolism probably isn't brokenHow planning, researching, and program hopping can become a form of avoidanceThe skill that healthy, fit people have mastered that most women overlookIf there's one thing these conversations reminded me, it's that you don't need to be more disciplined. You need to be kinder to yourself when life gets messy and better at getting back on track. DM me on Instagram and tell me: which of these three themes do you see most in your own life right now? Mentioned in This Episode:Masters of Fitness Awesomeness ProgramApply for Fitness Coaching Oonagh Duncan on InstagramFit Feels GoodLeave me a voice note on Speak Pipe!

Send us Fan MailDr. Dave Walton from TF Voodoo joins Aaron and Peaches to break down how to actually train for rucking without wrecking your body.Dave is a retired Green Beret, doctor, rucking coach, and the brain behind TF Voodoo. In this episode, he explains why most people train for rucking wrong, why “just ruck more” is one of the fastest ways to get injured, and how to build real load carriage performance through Zone 2 cardio, strength training, progressive ruck programming, foot care, boot selection, sock selection, posture, breathing, pacing, and misery management.This episode is especially important for anyone preparing for Air Force Special Warfare, Special Forces Assessment and Selection, military selection courses, long rucks, heavy rucks, or tactical load carriage events.Dave lays out what candidates should do months before a ruck, how to build a base before adding load, why short intense rucks beat long junk-mile rucks, how to manage blisters, what to eat and drink before and during a ruck, and how to survive if you have a hard ruck coming up with limited time to prepare.Find Dave and TF Voodoo:TFVoodoo.comCheck out Tasty Gains:TastyGains.comTrain with Modern Athlete Strength Systems:OnesReady.comOperator Training Summit:OperatorTrainingSummit.comChapters:00:00 - Ones Ready Intro01:05 - Tasty Gains and Modern Athlete Strength Systems03:11 - Welcome Dr. Dave Walton from TF Voodoo03:30 - Dave's Background in Rucking and Special Forces04:00 - Why “Just Ruck More” Is Terrible Advice05:00 - The Three Parts of Rucking Performance05:53 - Fitness, Technique, and Misery Management06:39 - Start With Zone 2 Running Before Rucking07:30 - Why Zone 2 Builds the Engine08:55 - Build to 90 Minutes of Zone 209:14 - Why Zone 2 Is Boring but Necessary10:00 - Strength Training for Rucking10:55 - Bench Press and Squat Standards11:30 - Upper Body and Lower Body Strength for Load Carriage13:00 - When to Start Actual Rucking13:30 - Field-Based Progressive Load Carriage14:28 - How Often Should You Ruck?15:00 - Start With 10 Percent of Body Weight15:56 - Short Intense Rucks Beat Long Junk Miles16:50 - Why Long Rucks Increase Injury Risk18:22 - Shut Up and Ruck and TF Voodoo Resources19:20 - Load Carriage Training Circulars20:00 - Foot Care for Tactical Athletes20:46 - Dave Does Not Have a Foot Fetish21:20 - Skin, Boots, Socks, and Insoles22:12 - Old Boots vs. Modern Rucking Boots23:00 - Heat, Friction, Moisture, and Blister Formation24:00 - Finding the Right Sock and Boot Combination25:00 - Foot Conditioning Takes Time26:00 - Mobility Screening and Ankle Mobility26:55 - Taylor Starch Is Somewhere Punching the Air27:30 - Flexibility vs. Mobility28:00 - Ruck Selection and Frame Use29:00 - Posture Under a Ruck29:30 - Strength Exercises That Actually Matter30:00 - Six Main Lifts for Tactical Athletes31:25 - Functional Strength vs. Bodybuilding32:30 - Shoulders Back and Down33:15 - Head Up and Eyes on the Horizon34:15 - Breathing Under Load35:00 - Leaning From the Ankles36:00 - Walking Fast vs. Running With a Ruck37:00 - The Ruck Shuffle38:21 - Misery Management and Strap Adjustment39:30 - Hip Belt, Waist Belt, and Load Transfer40:43 - Why You Should Use the Hip Belt42:02 - How to Find Your Iliac Crest42:30 - Sternum Strap and Shoulder Strap Management44:00 - Why Ruck Setup Is Individual44:44 - Unit Ruck Training and Avoiding Injuries46:22 - Free TF Voodoo Training Circulars47:00 - What to Do If You Have a Ruck Tomorrow47:30 - Hydration, Fueling, and Carbs48:30 - Nerd Clusters and Snickers for Ruck Fuel49:30 - How Much Water to Drink During a Ruck50:39 - Fueling During a Zulu Course Refire51:23 - Eat and Drink Before You Think You Need It51:45 - Warm Up Before the Ruck52:20 - Cadence and 180 Beats Per Minute53:15 - Music, Pacing, and Ruck Rhythm55:34 - Liner Socks, KT Tape, and Hot Spots56:30 - Why Duct Tape Is a Bad Idea57:47 - Taping Feet Before Blisters58:23 - Moleskin, Donuts, and Blister Management01:01:16 - Boot Lacing for Hot Spots01:02:20 - Packing the Ruck Correctly01:03:20 - Mental Prep and Not Quitting01:04:10 - Ruck Pacing Strategy01:04:37 - Don't Start Too Fast01:05:00 - Physiological Sigh and Breathing Reset01:07:00 - Arm Swing and Maintaining Pace01:08:30 - Shuffle, Fast Walk, and When Not to Run01:10:21 - Why Stopping Can Break Momentum01:10:55 - Final Thoughts from Dave01:11:41 - TF Voodoo Resources and Rucking Handbook01:12:40 - ClosingSupport the showJoin this channel to get access to perks: HEREBuzzsprout Subscription page:  HERERegister for our Operator Training Summit:  OperatorTrainingSummit.comFind an Air Force Recruiter: AirForce.comCollabs:Ones Ready - OnesReady.com 18A Fitness - Promo Code:  ONESREADY ATACLete - Follow the URL (no promo code):  ATACLeteDanger Close Apparel - Promo Code:  ONESREADYDFND Apparel...

Sugar-Free Diets Disrupted Gut Microbiome and Metabolism A 16-week sucrose-free, low-fat diet study presented at ENDO 2026 found mice developed insulin resistance, impaired glucose tolerance, gut microbiome imbalance, intestinal inflammation, and fatty liver disease signs despite no weight gain or calorie difference. Host Dave Asprey breaks down why eliminating sugar entirely may be more detrimental than previously thought, the gut-bacteria-to-metabolism cascade that explains the metabolic damage, and why balanced nutrition matters more than simply removing sugar from your stack. Sources: https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2026/06/260614011843.htm https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/how-eliminating-sugar-may-alter-the-gut-microbiome-mouse-study https://nypost.com/2026/06/13/health/going-sugar-free-can-mess-with-your-gut-and-metabolism/ ~~ Taurine Did Not Boost Acute Aerobic Performance A randomized, triple-blind, cross-over study of 16 physically active young adults found acute 1-gram taurine ingestion one hour before exercise produced no significant improvements in peak oxygen consumption, time to exhaustion, respiratory compensation point, or lipid/glycolytic metabolism variables. Host Dave Asprey explains why taurine remains popular in energy drinks and pre-workouts despite limited scientific evidence, what dosages and activity types future research should test, and why a reality check on a billion-dollar supplement category is exactly the kind of truth biohackers need. Sources: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/42268287/ https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2026/06/260611024609.htm ~~ Copper Therapy Improved Memory and Reduced Alzheimer's Proteins in Mice Lab trials from Monash University published in ACS Chemical Neuroscience found Cu(ATSM), a copper-delivery compound, increased P-glycoprotein abundance by 24.1 percent at the blood-brain barrier, reduced toxic amyloid-beta by 42 percent over 56 days, and improved spatial learning by nearly 44 percent in an Alzheimer's mouse model. Host Dave Asprey breaks down why repairing the brain's waste-clearing pump is a potential new therapeutic avenue for neurovascular dysfunction, why Cu(ATSM) has strong potential to fast-track into human clinics since it's already tested for Parkinson's and ALS, and why biometal therapies like this could be the next frontier in Alzheimer's treatment. Sources: https://www.news-medical.net/news/20260615/Lab-trials-prove-copper-therapy-enhances-cognitive-function-and-spatial-learning.aspx https://www.monash.edu/news/articles/copper-drug-restores-memory-and-clears-toxic-alzheimers-proteins https://pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acschemneuro.6c00252 ~~ Socioeconomic Factors Biologically Embedded in Children's Brains A study of 2,300+ 9- and 10-year-olds published in Science found socioeconomic factors—household income, education, neighborhood quality—were the dominant variable affecting brain development, with MRI-visible differences in sensory processing and motor control regions linked to less sleep, more stress, and higher social media use in lower-income neighborhoods. Host Dave Asprey explains why socioeconomics became “biologically embedded” in preteen brains, how sleep-stress-screen circuits alter wakefulness and alertness, and why earlier studies focusing on IQ or mental health without accounting for environment may require reevaluation. Sources: https://www.npr.org/2026/06/11/nx-s1-5849937/child-brain-development-stress-sleep-neighborhood-economics https://abcdstudy.org/ ~~ Strength Training Sweet Spot for Longevity Is 90–120 Minutes Per Week A 30-year observational study of 147,374 participants published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine found 90–119 minutes per week of strength training delivered 13 percent lower all-cause mortality, 19 percent lower cardiovascular mortality, and 27 percent lower neurological mortality, with no additional benefit above 120 minutes. Host Dave Asprey breaks down why more isn't always better when it comes to resistance training, why combining strength with aerobic exercise dropped mortality risk by 45–58 percent at highest levels, and why 15–20 minutes a day or 30–40 minutes three times weekly is the minimum effective dose for longevity. Sources: https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2026/06/260611024609.htm https://academic.oup.com/sleep/article/48/8/zsaf127/8129074 https://www.bmj.com/content/bsjspor/early/2025/06/11/bjsports-2025-110503 ~~ This episode is designed for biohackers, longevity seekers, and high-performance listeners who want mechanism-level clarity on sugar-free diet metabolic risks, taurine supplement efficacy, copper-based Alzheimer's therapeutics, childhood environmental brain development, and strength training longevity dosing. Host Dave Asprey connects preclinical animal data, randomized human trials, observational cohort research, and population neuroscience into actionable frameworks for extending healthspan, optimizing metabolism, and staying ahead of the science.

What makes a business more than just four walls?In this thought-provoking episode, Discover Strength CEO and exercise physiologist Luke Carlson explores the idea of a "church with no religion"—an analogy he has used for decades to describe organizations that have facilities, products, and services but lack a clear philosophy or way of doing things.Luke discusses why Discover Strength was built around principles rather than equipment, and why a company's beliefs should outlive its physical location. He shares the foundational ideas that guide Discover Strength, including evidence-based resistance training, the professionalization of exercise physiologists, an unwavering commitment to safety, servant leadership, and the pursuit of continuous improvement.Whether you're a fitness enthusiast, business leader, entrepreneur, or someone interested in building a values-driven organization, this episode offers a compelling perspective on what it means to create something that stands for more than the services it provides.Discover Strength offers free Introductory Workouts at any location across the United States.

Alex Milne joins the pod just four days after his fourth-place finish at Comrades. Alex reflects on missing the podium by only 58 seconds, his huge race block from Valencia to Seville, Worlds 50K, London and Comrades, and how he is now building toward the 100K World Championships in Spain.

He explains why he was happy with the performance overall, but still frustrated to miss the podium by just 58 seconds, and talks through the difficulty of knowing your exact race position during an ultra like Comrades. Alex also breaks down one of the busiest racing blocks in elite distance running, including Valencia, Seville where he ran a 2:11:41 PB, the World 50K Championships, London Marathon while sick, and then Comrades. He explains why he prefers racing often, recovering well, and building through shorter but effective training blocks rather than long uninterrupted build-ups. Matt and Alex discuss how he balances elite training with teaching and parenting, using run-commutes, long lunch breaks, and consistent Box Hill hill sessions. Alex shares details around his 45-65K long runs, threshold work, race-specific Comrades sessions, fueling approach with Nomyo, Flycarb bicarbonate, high carbohydrate intake, sodium needs, heat training through hot baths, strength work, physio, and his plans for the 100K World Championships in Spain on September 20.

It’s now widely known that strength training is one of the best forms of exercise for women over 40. Yet countless women are exercising regularly, eating well, and still watching the scales climb, their waistline grow, and their favourite clothes get tighter. However, it doesn’t have to be that way.

Send us Fan MailAre you training hard enough to actually grow? Drew Brandon and the training team unpack practical ways to measure real effort—like watching rep speed slow as you approach failure—and explain how to use RPE and RIR once your form is dialed in. They cover tempo myths, why a faster concentric can reveal true proximity to failure, and how a simple checklist can keep you from over-cueing and underperforming. You'll hear how in-person or group environments often unlock intensity many athletes haven't reached on their own, plus how smart recovery and deloads fit into the bigger picture.What You'll Learn:The simplest indicators you're within a few reps of failure (movement velocity, rep quality)How to use RPE and RIR effectively—and when they're most accurateWhy fewer cues and a short setup checklist often lead to bigger liftsThe 80–90% form rule, technical failure standards, and filming your setsRemote vs. in-person intensity differences and how group energy elevates outputRecovery markers, when a deload helps, and training without fear of injuryReady to push closer to failure, recover smarter, and finally see the progress you've been chasing? #TrainingIntensity #RPE #Hypertrophy #FitBodyFusion #DeloadDrew Brannon, an Exercise Science graduate from USF, owns Pinellas Ultimate Strength House, a premier 7,000 sq. ft. training facility in Largo, FL.

Strength training in your 40s often starts with limitations—nagging injuries, inconsistent training, and the feeling that your best years are behind you. But what if this is actually the decade where you build your strongest, most resilient body? In this episode of Beast Over Burden, Niki Sims talks with Barbell Logic client Dalton Stanage about his journey from chronic back pain to deadlifting over 465 pounds in his mid-40s. After years of throwing his back out doing everyday tasks, Dalton was hesitant to even attempt a deadlift. But through consistent, coached strength training, he not only fixed his back issues—he became stronger than ever. The conversation explores what strength training in your 40s really looks like. It's not about chasing your twenties or relying on perfect conditions. It's about building consistency, trusting the process, and making steady progress over time. Dalton shares how showing up week after week—regardless of how he felt—led to dramatic improvements in both strength and overall quality of life. They also discuss how priorities shift in your 40s. Training becomes less about short-term goals and more about long-term capability—being strong for your kids, your grandkids, and the demands of everyday life. Dalton, a father of eight and a grandfather, explains how strength training allows him to stay active, engaged, and present with his family. The episode also dives into the role of nutrition, recovery, and discipline. As Dalton shifts toward improving body composition, he shares how tracking food, prioritizing protein, improving sleep, and reducing alcohol have all played a key role in his continued progress. These lifestyle changes are essential for anyone looking to get stronger and leaner in their 40s and beyond. Finally, the conversation highlights the value of coaching. Instead of trying to figure everything out alone, having a coach provides structure, accountability, and a clear path forward—helping you avoid mistakes and accelerate results. Strength training in your 40s is not about decline—it's about building a foundation for the decades ahead. Whether your goal is to eliminate pain, gain strength, or become the "jacked grandpa," this episode shows what's possible with the right approach. If you've ever wondered whether it's too late to get strong, this episode will change your perspective—and give you a clear path forward.

SummaryStarting a health journey can feel overwhelming, especially if you think you have to change everything overnight. In this episode, Chase and Chris explain why the best place to start is with awareness. They talk about tracking your food, learning your current habits, and creating a realistic baseline that fits your life. They also explain why your baseline should grow over time as you make progress. You'll learn why building simple, repeatable habits creates confidence, helps you stay consistent during busy seasons, and leads to long-term success instead of another short-lived diet.

Have you been overcomplicating strength training after 40? If you've ever wondered whether you're doing the "right" workout, lifting heavy enough, following the perfect program, or spending enough time in the gym, this episode may be exactly what you need to hear. A major new research review from the American College of Sports Medicine looked at 137 studies involving more than 30,000 people and came to a surprisingly simple conclusion: the biggest difference isn't between workout program A and workout program B. The biggest difference is between doing nothing and doing something. In this episode, I'm breaking down what the latest science says about strength training, why consistency matters more than perfection, and how strength training to lose weight can be much simpler than you've been led to believe. We'll talk about the best approach to building muscle, supporting hormones, improving metabolism, and using strength training as one of the most effective belly fat loss exercises available to women in perimenopause and menopause. Friend, your body doesn't need perfection. It needs participation.   FULL BLOG + SHOW NOTES Read the full article and grab the resources mentioned in today's episode:

Strength training for life longevity is not about chasing personal records forever—it's about learning how to train in a way that actually lasts. In this episode of Beast Over Burden, Niki Sims and Andrew Jackson talk with Barbell Logic coach Brian Hosford about his journey from Strongman to a more sustainable, long-term approach to training. What started as lifting odd objects, flipping tires, and pushing absolute limits has evolved into a smarter, more adaptable strategy focused on consistency, recovery, and staying strong for decades. The conversation explores how strength training must change over time. As you move into your forties and beyond, recovery becomes more important, injuries take longer to heal, and pushing harder is not always the answer. Brian shares how he adjusts training—using variations like belt squats, managing volume, and shifting intensity—to continue making progress without burning out. Niki and Andrew also dive into the psychological side of training. What happens when PRs slow down? How do you stay motivated when progress looks different than it used to? This episode reframes strength as more than just numbers on the bar—focusing instead on consistency, resilience, and long-term capability. A major theme throughout the episode is coaching. Brian explains how effective coaching is not about forcing a rigid program, but about translating a person's life, goals, and limitations into a plan they can actually follow. From busy professionals to older lifters, the best results come from programs that adapt to real life—not the other way around. Strength training for life longevity means training for your family, your career, and your future—not just your next workout. It's about building strength that supports your life outside the gym and allows you to keep showing up year after year. If you want to keep lifting, stay strong, and avoid burnout as you age, this episode will show you how to train smarter—and for the long haul.

In this Q&A episode, I answer questions about how to train for varied competitive distances without getting pulled in too many directions, explain my compelling stance on avoiding coffee (and NSAIDs), and give a plug for Dr. Doug McGuff’s “Big 5” total-body workout—a simple, highly effective way to stay strong with just one workout per week. I also share thoughts on how corporations like Whole Foods Market and PF Chang’s continue to sell plenty of crap despite their healthy reputations, discuss the magic of Zone 1 walking for building awesome aerobic fitness, and explain one of the best ways to tell if you’re doing too much strength training. Hint: you shouldn’t be getting sore. These are practical, everyday insights you can use right away to simplify your training, improve your health, and avoid some common mistakes. TIMESTAMPS: Jack, age 60, asks about his running goals. He says he is confused about what Brad says the parameters should be. [01:11] Jack has another question about coffee. Is having that stimulant in the morning helpful for your overall well-being as an athlete? [07:38] Another listener asks: Should I take my high intensity interval training, my strength training like Dr. Doug McGruff's Big Five and a basically walking approach to races? [15:45] Some comments from YouTube include this with Brad's comment: How long should you sprint to achieve all the health benefits? Brad's answer: All your entire life. [17:56] Monica initiates a discussion on the industrial seed oils being used rather than butter in restaurants and even Whole Foods and P.F. Changs. [18:50] Anthony asks about building up aerobic fitness by walking. Brad's response is thatthe aerobic base is built at the lower exercise intensities where your body has sufficient oxygen to develop and fine tune your mitochondrial function [27:00] Chad experiences soreness after trying to complete body weight exercises every other day to failure. Brad answers: If you have recurring soreness from your strength training regimen, you are most certainly overdoing it. [30:48] Dr. Doug McGruff's book, Body by Science, has a great regimen of five big workouts to do once a week. [32:22] Chad is also asking about his schedule for training. You want to have ebbs and flows in your schedule such that you have built in downtime and you always respect the importance of intuition and adjusting on the fly.

Tom Nobbs on Strides, Strength Training, and Building Toward Higher Marathon Mileage After Two 10Ks Canadian 2:09 marathoner Tom Nobbs discusses recent takeaways from conversations with Rory Linkletter and Jimmy, with a focus on frequent strides, sprinting, strength training, racing, and building toward a bigger marathon block.

Matt and Tom discuss the value of polarizing training between controlled tempo work and true max-speed work, rather than turning every session into the same moderate effort. The conversation then moves into strength training. They debate where gym work fits for distance runners, how it may help reduce cramping for some athletes, and why it can also become unnecessary or costly for high-mileage runners if it takes away from recovery or running volume. Tom explains his own strength gaps and the importance of tailoring gym work to the athlete rather than forcing one approach on everyone. Tom also breaks down two recent 10K races: a 28:47 road 10K in windy conditions in Ottawa, and a delayed late-night track 10K in awkward conditions with limited access to the track beforehand. Matt and Tom discuss how racing time-of-day, warm-up routines, track access, spikes, and surface specificity can all affect performance. They also compare road and track racing, why both require adaptation, and how shorter races can sharpen the mental edge during a marathon build. Later, they cover coaching athletes who over-race, how different personality types respond to racing, and the balance between racing for fun, social connection, and long-term development. The final part of the episode shifts into Tom's next marathon block, including higher "super mileage," the trade-offs of extreme volume, tapering challenges, days off versus seven-day running, and examples of older or later-career runners still making major marathon improvements.

In this episode of the Optimal Body Podcast, Doctor Dom shares her personal experience of sustaining a minor back injury and developing sciatic pain while deadlifting. She and Doc Jen discuss how even fitness professionals aren't immune to pain and injury, emphasizing that stress, poor sleep, and rushing through movements increase the risk of experiencing issues like sciatic pain. They debunk the myth that deadlifts are inherently dangerous and clarify that disc bulges are common even in pain-free individuals, and not always linked to sciatic pain. Doctor Dom outlines her recovery approach, including breathing, relaxation, and gentle progressive movement. The key message: pain, including sciatic pain, isn't always a sign of serious damage, and mindful movement is essential for recovery.

In this fascinating episode of the Optimal Protein Podcast, Vanessa Spina is joined by Dr. Fernando Naclerio, Professor in Strength Training and Sports Nutrition at the University of Greenwich and Centre Lead for the Centre for Exercise Activity and Rehabilitation. Vanessa and Dr. Naclerio dive into a brand new meta-analysis comparing higher-carb and lower-carb diets when calories and protein are matched. While both approaches improved body composition, the low-carb diets produced greater reductions in fat mass, fasting glucose, fasting insulin, and triglycerides, along with increases in HDL. This conversation explores why not all weight loss is fat loss — and why consuming too many carbohydrates during a calorie deficit may, in certain conditions, shift the body toward burning more lean mass instead of body fat. They also discuss how to structure protein, carbohydrates, and fats for better body composition, why carbohydrate tolerance depends on activity level, the importance of resistance training, keto adaptation, meal timing, fasting, protein distribution, and why protecting muscle should be the priority during fat loss.

In today's episode, I'm breaking down the exact strength training formula I use and teach — one that's designed specifically for women in their late 30s, 40s, 50s, and beyond. Because the rules don't change just because you get older. What your body needs stays pretty consistent, and today I'm giving you the simple, no-BS version of what actually works. In this episode, I cover: Why doing more — more cardio, more steps, more classes — is actually working against your goals The role of progressive overload and why your body needs a reason to build muscle Why cardio will never be your primary tool for changing your body composition The nutrition non-negotiables (or "suggestions," if that word feels better!) that I come back to again and again How to think about protein, carbohydrates, and fat in a way that's simple and sustainable Why 9 out of 10 times, the problem isn't your training — it's how you're fueling The strength training formula simplified: lift progressively, fuel with intention, recover on purpose, and repeat — for months, not weeks Let's dive in!

Nutritionist Leyla Muedin discusses research showing simple strength tests—grip strength and a five-rep sit-to-stand chair test—predict longevity in older women. In a University at Buffalo study of over 5,000 women ages 63–99 followed for eight years, stronger grip and faster chair-stand times were linked to lower mortality; every additional 7 kg of grip strength corresponded to a 12% reduction in death risk, and faster chair-stands were also associated with improved survival, even after adjusting for activity, cardiovascular fitness, and inflammation. She emphasizes prioritizing muscle-strengthening alongside aerobic exercise and suggests accessible resistance options (weights, bodyweight moves, or household items) with professional guidance as needed. She then cites UK Biobank data linking long-term statin use to declines in grip strength and appendicular lean mass, urging discussion with physicians and added vigilance, especially for those also using GLP-1 drugs that may reduce protein intake and muscle mass.

Busy dads do not need a perfect schedule to get strong. They need a realistic plan they can actually follow. In this episode of Beast Over Burden, Niki Sims and Andrew Jackson talk with guest Nick Hammer about strength training for busy dads and how fathers can balance training, work, family, and real-life responsibilities without giving up on their health. Many dads want to train, but their old approach no longer fits. Sleep is less predictable. Schedules are tighter. Work and family demands are higher. Nick shares how dads can rethink training so it supports fatherhood instead of competing with it. The conversation covers why consistency matters more than the perfect program, how to make training fit a busy season of life, and why strength is about more than gym numbers. For fathers, strength training helps build the capacity to show up better at home, at work, and in the responsibilities that matter most. Niki, Andrew, and Nick also discuss the mindset shift busy dads need: training is not selfish when it helps you become stronger, healthier, and more capable for the people who depend on you. The goal is not to train like you have unlimited time. The goal is to build a repeatable, sustainable approach that helps you keep going for the long haul. Listen to this episode of Beast Over Burden to learn how busy dads can stay strong, train consistently, and build fitness that supports the life they actually live.

Strength training in pregnancy can feel confusing with so much mixed advice online.

We also cover warning signs to watch for after birth, why returning to exercise too quickly can backfire, and how to think about strength in a way that supports healing, not pressure. This episode is a helpful listen for anyone who wants a more practical, realistic approach to movement during and after pregnancy. In this episode, we cover: Why strength training can support the body during pregnancy How movement may help reduce common pregnancy aches and pains The connection between prenatal fitness and postpartum recovery Why mobility and pelvic floor function both matter before labor What to know about exercise clearance during pregnancy and postpartum Warning signs like leaking, pelvic pressure, or increased bleeding Why a slow return to activity matters after birth How pelvic floor therapy can support recovery The physical demands of motherhood and functional strength Letting go of bounce-back pressure and focusing on long-term health Want more?

Recovery for strength training is one of the biggest factors in whether you actually adapt to hard work in the gym. In this Beast over Burden legacy episode, Niki Sims and Andrew Jackson talk through the stress-recovery-adaptation cycle and explain why recovery often determines how much training stress a lifter can handle. More work is not always the answer. Sometimes progress depends more on sleep, nutrition, calories, protein, stress management, alcohol intake, and honest expectations about what your life can currently support. Andrew explains how coaches think about training stress, hard sets, progressive overload, and recovery constraints. Niki and Andrew also discuss why lifters may need to adjust the weight on the bar when travel, poor sleep, high stress, or low energy change the day's capacity. They also cover active recovery, walking, long-term training habits, and why popular recovery tools like cold plunges should not distract from the basics.
