THE MIND - MUSCLE CONNECTION - Ep 22: Filtering Fraud, Fakery, And F*ckery!

The health and fitness industry is rife with misinformation and disinformation. Some of it is obvious, but not all. Cons are good at preying on our deepest wants, and if we want something bad enough, we're more likely to believe the unbelievable. But not all bad information is disseminated by bad people. Sometimes they want to believe something just as much as we do, and they repeat it as a form of testing the reliability. Listen in as Joe and Tyler go through a quick checklist that can help you...

THE MIND-MUSCLE CONNECTION - Ep 21: The Cost Of Choice

Freud said most people don't want freedom because freedom means responsibility. The bombshell this week of a probable reversal of Roe v. Wade brings what some call an illusion of choice to the forefront. What choices do we have? Are they created without impact to others? What if the choices of someone else create conflict with mine? These are familiar roads walked by those who try to live out principles of hardcore fitness and health. Sometimes even tribal infighting about methods and processes ...

THE MIND - MUSCLE CONNECTION - Ep 18: Goal Mastery

Have you ever reached a goal and almost instantly felt aimless? We pour so much energy into our biggest goals that they become our literal identities, and then it's over. And it's dangerous.

We also do that be learning to celebrate a goal appropriately. Dive in with Tyler and Joe as they discuss just how to make goal attainment a re...

Where are the lines between acceptable eating deviation, body dysmorphia, and behavioral eating disorders? That's a question being asked more than ever in the world of cognitive behavioral therapy.

THE MIND - MUSCLE CONNECTION - Ep 16: Winning, Losing, & Life

Success and happiness in physique sport has a unique parallel to general health and transformation goals. It's easy to define a "win." When we achieve ____ or get to ____ level, we've won. But what if we don't? What if it takes longer than we thought? Maybe everyone doesn't have the same chances. The tragic irony is that sometimes pursuing something big means we have a bigger chance of failing. But that adds another problem: what is failure?

CONTEST PREP UNIVERSITY - FRAT HOUSE SERIES #4: IS NATURAL BODYBUILDING DYING?

Drug-free competition enjoyed a sharp rise in the 1990s, perhaps surging on the back of a push from the East Coast in the '80s. That era produced legendary icons in the sport, but growing pains were symptomatic in the form of policy and testing schisms, infighting between organizations, and some good old fashioned free enterprise competition. Where does that side of physique sport stand today? What options are viable for tested athletes? Sit back and grab a cold one while Adam and Joe chat throu...
