In this episode of the Dad Edge Podcast, Larry Hagner is joined by Oscar “Oz” Aponte—a U.S. Army veteran, StrongFirst kettlebell instructor, and founder of Iron Core—to explore what real strength means as a man, a father, and a leader.   Oz brings a powerful blend of physical mastery and spiritual depth, helping men move from brute force to intentional presence. Together, they unpack how posture, breath, nervous system regulation, and movement patterns shape your long-term vitality—not just in the gym, but at the dinner table, in your marriage, and in your legacy.   More than a conversation about fitness, this is a deep dive into fatherhood, grief, and building your life with intention. Whether you're a kettlebell junkie or just a dad looking to show up better, this episode will challenge you to redefine strength on every level.   TIMELINE SUMMARY   [0:00] - Welcome to the Dad Edge mission: changing generations [1:00] - Os' dad: love, legacy, and shaping a son through presence [4:05] - The final moments Os had with his father before he passed [6:42] - The cycle-breaking power of a father who never had one [9:58] - Combining Eastern mindfulness with Western strength [12:21] - Training for longevity vs. ego [14:45] - Redefining masculinity as balance, not burnout [19:23] - Nervous system health: “the threat bucket” metaphor [25:36] - The seasons of fitness (and why to respect them) [28:15] - How posture and gait silently break men down [30:37] - Tissues adapt to dysfunction—unless you intervene [33:33] - Why kettlebells work: simple tools, elite results [38:55] - Busy dads: how to train with limited time and space [40:37] - Core movements every man should master [44:13] - The “Simple & Sinister” training approach [47:13] - Kettlebell workshops, coaching, and learning more   5 KEY TAKEAWAYS   1. Strength Is Presence Being strong isn't just about lifting weight—it's about how grounded, aware, and calm you are with your family.   2. Your Nervous System Is Running the Show Stress, posture, sleep, and breath all impact your strength more than ego lifting ever could. Master your internal world first.   3. Movement Is Medicine Poor gait and posture don't just cause pain—they drain your energy and shorten your lifespan. Train smart, not just hard.   4. Simplicity Wins You don't need a fancy gym or complicated gear. One kettlebell and intentional reps can outperform a cluttered workout.   5. Legacy Is Built in the Small Moments Oz's story shows that being a strong father isn't about perfection. It's about showing up, being present, and choosing intentionality every day.   LINKS & RESOURCES   Os Aponte's Website & Coaching: https://ironcoreway.com   Book Mentioned: Simple & Sinister by Pavel Tsatsouline https://www.strongfirst.com/shop/ebooks/simple-sinister-ebook   StrongFirst Kettlebell Certifications + Programs: https://www.strongfirst.com   Live Workshops in San Diego: Check Oz's site for current event listings   Dad Edge Podcast Hub: https://thedadedge.com/podcast   Book Preorder: The Pursuit of Legendary Fatherhood https://thedadedge.com/legendarybook

Your training should match your goals — but what happens when those goals go beyond PRs? In this episode of Beast Over Burden, we show you how to adapt strength training for any goal, whether that means balancing swim workouts with barbell lifts, building knee resilience for high-altitude hunting, or nailing the StrongFirst kettlebell snatch test. Through three in-depth case studies, you'll hear exactly how we adjusted programming to fit real-life demands: Reducing gym volume for a competitive swimmer in peak season Using high-bar squats, pause squats, and rucking to prepare a hunter for steep terrain Prioritizing kettlebell snatch work without sacrificing barbell strength We cover how to use the SAID Principle to match your training to your outcome, what to change in your volume and intensity when another sport takes priority, and how to manage recovery so you can perform when it matters most. Whether you lift for performance, adventure, or everyday life, you'll walk away knowing how to adapt strength training for any goal without losing the muscle, strength, and motivation you've worked hard to build.

Today I'm talking about how to make strong first impressions. You've heard the saying—“you never get a second chance to make a first impression”—and it's true. Most people will lock in that first image of you, and no matter what happens after, that's how they'll keep seeing you. Even if the first thing they saw was fake, they'll still treat it like it's real. So in this episode, I'm breaking down how to take control of that moment and make sure the first impression you give is the one you actually want people to remember. Show Notes:  [02:25]#1 How you walk in is also how you walk through and is also how you will walk out.  [08:46]#2 Ask yourself better questions. [15:32]#3 Always be ON.  [22:13]Recap Next Steps:

In this episode of the Hammer Cast, I celebrate the 14th anniversary of my journey into calisthenics training by sharing key insights and lessons learned over the years. Drawing from my own personal experience as well as that of my students from around the world, I dish on a comprehensive overview of how to successfully approach calisthenics - not just for short term goals, but for life. Oh, and I also talk about on the upcoming Black Sabbath concert - the LAST and FINAL one ever - which I'm pumped for. (Lastly: get my FREE 9-Minute Kettlebell and Bodyweight Challenge here: http://www.9minutechallenge.com/)  1. Movability is key   2. Learn to FEEL the movement   3. Seek help from people who have struggled, NOT the naturals   4. Embrace the foundations BEFORE tackling the advanced stuff   5. Tension is king, relaxation is queen.   6. Variety is the spice of gains   7. Moderate intensity + frequency + volume = success   8. Progressions mean nothing without prerequisites   9. Lift weights as well (preferrably kettlebells)   10. Use iron game tactics whenever possible   11. Do some basic bodybuilding   12. Seek to bulletproof your joints   13. Alternate times of pure strength & muscle-building   14. Enjoy the process

At the dawn of the modern weight training movement, one exercise quickly arose (pun intended) to prominence among the pioneers of the jolly ol' game of taming the iron:  The one-arm snatch. From barbells, dumbbells, and eventually kettlebells, it has found a place in the training of just about every serious trainee.  And if you're not currently training it seriously?  Well, this episode just might light that fire you need under your tush... On that note, if you like training that: · Gives you more strength than it takes from you · Improves your stamina and resilience simultaneously · Powers-up every nook, cranny, crevice, and corner of your Soft Machine Then you just might like my 9-Minute Kettlebell and Bodyweight Challenge. As the name indicates, it's just 9 minutes long, and it's designed to be done WITH your current workouts – NOT instead of them. Even cooler: Many find that it actually amplifies their strength in their favorite kettlebell and bodyweight moves, like presses, squats, pullups, and more. And best of all, it's free. How free? I'm talkin' freer than the 4th of July, my friend. Get thee thine own copy here:  http://www.9MinuteChallenge.com  Have fun and happy training! Aleks Salkin

Malaki Starks will be expected to hold down a starter role as a rookie and he certainly looks the part so far. Vinny Cerrato spoke highly of the safety after watching him at OTAs these past few weeks.

Interview with Jason Jessup, CEO of Magna Mining Inc.Our previous interview: Recording date: 4th June 2025Magna Mining. presents a compelling investment opportunity as one of the few junior mining companies delivering immediate copper production with clear pathways to operational scaling. Following the February 2025 acquisition of the McCreedy West mine in Ontario's Sudbury basin, the company generated positive cash flow of $300,000 in its first operational month while producing 790,000 pounds of copper equivalent—results that exceeded management expectations during what was effectively a three-week transition period.The company's operational success validates its production-focused strategy in a market where most copper juniors remain years away from meaningful revenue generation. CEO Jason Jessup, who previously operated McCreedy West during peak production periods exceeding 2,500 tons daily, brings proven expertise to optimize operations. The company has already implemented operational improvements including expanded shift schedules and contractor-supported development work to increase production capacity and workplace access.Magna Mining's recent $33.5 million financing round, comprising $23.5 million in convertible debentures and $10 million equity secured, provides working capital for operational optimization and growth initiatives. The company plans to invest $5-10 million this year in capital development at McCreedy West, focusing on sustainable expansion rather than short-term cash maximization. This disciplined approach positions the company for long-term value creation while maintaining financial flexibility.The company's competitive advantage extends beyond current production to include four additional fully permitted past-producing mines with combined NI 43-101 resources exceeding 50 million tons of copper, nickel, and PGM mineralization. The adjacent Levack mine offers particular near-term growth potential with recent drilling revealing high-grade copper zones of 24% copper plus PGMs within 200 meters of surface in previously unmined areas. An internal restart study for Levack is expected in Q4 2025, with a new resource estimate anticipated by end of Q3 2025.Magna Mining's bootstrap growth model differentiates it from capital-intensive development projects requiring multi-billion dollar investments and multi-year construction timelines. The company can fund expansion through operating cash flow, minimizing shareholder dilution while maintaining control over development timing. This approach appeals to institutional investors seeking copper exposure without the execution risks associated with large-scale development projects.The Sudbury jurisdiction provides additional competitive advantages including stable regulatory framework, established infrastructure, and access to skilled labor from the region's 180,000-person population with extensive mining experience. Established customer relationships with Vale and Glencore ensure secure off-take arrangements and predictable revenue streams.Strong institutional backing supports the investment thesis, with over 50% institutional ownership including 21% held by Dundee Corp, whose leader Jonathan Goodman serves on Magna Mining's board. Management and board retain approximately 10% ownership, aligning interests with shareholders.As CEO Jessup noted, "No one has what we got like we have a producing mine in the best jurisdiction I would say in North America for copper and nickel mining and four other fully permitted past producing mines." This unique combination of immediate production, scalable growth opportunities, and reduced development risk positions Magna Mining as an attractive copper investment in a supply-constrained market where traditional development projects face increasing capital and execution challenges.With $38 million cash on hand and clear catalysts including quarterly production reports and the upcoming Levack study results, Magna Mining offers investors a de-risked pathway to copper sector exposure with multiple value creation opportunities.View Magna Mining's company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/magna-miningSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

Post-Dispatch podcasts page: https://go.stltoday.com/0hfn43 Please consider subscribing: https://go.stltoday.com/9aigz5 It would be difficult for the Cardinals to script a better opening weekend for their "transition" year that an emphatic sweep of the visiting Minnesota Twins. The Cardinals got sturdy performances from the starters, stellar play from the defense, and 19 runs in three days from the offsenese. Lars Nootbaar ignited the weekend with a run scored in three of the Cardinals' first four games, and Victor Scott personified the three-game series sweep of the Twins with a dynamic catch in the opener, two stolen bases in the middle game, and the decisive three-run homer in the series finale. The Cardinals put on a show. And some of the smallest crowds in Busch Stadium history were there to see it. How can the Cardinals grow a team and regrow the crowds? Will one assure the other, or are the Cardinals entering more than a "transition" year in the front office and actually embarking on a whole new product to sell fans? Maybe reset wasn't the word after all. This is a rebranding. Post-Dispatch sports columnist Jeff Gordon joins Best Podcast in Baseball host Derrick Goold to discuss the first four games of the Cardinals season and how they came a late-game bullpen leak away from starting 4-0. The Cardinals established their identity early, and the question becomes whether they can maintain it to be competitive in the National League Central. But that isn't the only question. Competitive is quaint. Competitive is the expectation. Moving merch is essential. Will a style of play be enough? Will winning be enough? After several years of selling nostalgia to fans, the Cardinals need more than a clear message about the future. They need a brand new way to market the team. The Best Podcast in Baseball, sponsored by Closets by Design of St. Louis, is a production of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, StlToday.com, and Derrick Goold. In its 13th year, BPIB drops weekly and is eager to hear from listeners about what it does well and what it can do better. Yes, we're especially talking to you -- the listener we have in Ireland.

Ep. 480: What To Train BEFORE You Train Turkish Get Ups On this episode I discuss the importance of training foundational movements and exercises BEFORE attempting Turkish get-ups at all - let alone trying to go heavy. In addition to patience, proper instruction, and all that jazz, one other thing that will likely help you a great deal is my 9 Minute Kettlebell and Bodyweight Challenge.  Using some of the movements found in this challenge, Louis Toh (who has been a guest on the show), improved his Turkish get-up from 24 kg to 32 kg (53 lb to 70 lb) by focusing on these movements.

In this episode, I  welcome Antoni Poblocki to discuss his impressive strength achievements, particularly his recent half-bodyweight press of 40 kilograms. Antoni shares how he discovered my work through a friend's recommendation and his journey into kettlebell training. He also discusses his passion for historical reenactments, focusing on the early medieval ages in Europe, and how that has influenced his physical training. Antoni explains the evolution of his kettlebell training, from group sessions to individual work at home, and the strategies that helped him achieve his recent pressing milestone. Looking ahead, he outlines his plans to potentially complete the SFG2 certification and participate in a challenging "Top Team" competition in Poland. Throughout the conversation, Antoni and I explore the cultural and historical significance of strength training, particularly in the Polish context.

The Lakerholics solved the case of the vanishing LeBron as Mr. James returned to the lineup on Sunday as the Lakers faced off against the Grizzlies at the Crypt. And with Lebron back in the lineup, the Lakers stormed out to a fine-tuned first half as a newly found defense propelled them to an 18-point halftime lead. And thanks to Anthony Davis (40 points, 16 rebounds), the Lakers had just enough in the second half to fend off the Grizzlies 116-110 to go 14-12 on the season. Tune into the show to hear what we thought of tonight's game, what's up ahead, and if the Lakers can get back on a winning path before the end of 2024. It's the Lakers and Grizzlies with the return of LeBron James and we're here talking about it on the Lakers Fast Break podcast!
