Think of the most negative person you know. Everything is always wrong; chaos abounds; that person is always a victim; the fault is always from someone else or a circumstance...they just never have anything good to say about anything. Now consider the most positive person you know. Why do you think each owns their particular perspective? What's the value of being negative? Of being positive? Can you truly make yourself a happier person, or is it just being fake? The answers are there. Listen in ...

Rounding the final turn of the final lap for a contest is money. The energy skyrockets in the anticipation of that elusive perfect peak and you have got the plan to make it happen.

You're an asshole. That was our first title of this episode but...you know. We didn't want to hurt any feelings. But what if that's the path to growth, and how you'll get what you want? And what you need? Did you know shame is a social tool of evolutionary success? Join the conversation and see how you can use disappointment and social pain to earn a happier life!

Life is suffering, some say. From dust to dust... Others believe it's whatever you make it. Name it and claim it. The Universe will reflect back exactly what you project. We all encounter the highest of highs and the lowest of lows at some point in life. How do you deal with the setbacks? What do you do when you just can't catch a break?

That's what we sometimes think, right? Something is wrong with me; I'm defective; get a diagnosis; take a drug; fixed. Like a sprained ankle. Or, this is too hard; I can't deal; throw in the towel again; take a drug; cover it up. Another expected disappointment. Choppy waters for sure. An infinite topic. But what can you improve right now? Maybe your foundational perspective could shift just a little and give you some breathing room. Maybe with a couple new insights you could find your life agai...

Many think commitment is just a trait - you have it or you don't. Others make the mistake thinking commitment is an all-or-nothing endeavor. You're knocking it out of the park every day or you're a failure. What if commitment was part psychological temperament, practiced emotional resiliency, a value-driven reflex, physiologically scalable, and exhaustible? Would you look at it more like a process and less like an ultimatum? Listen in as Joe and Tyler chat about how wielding commitment can chang...

Do you let others define your life? If you could write one sentence as your legacy, what would it be? How about one word? If it's not clear how you are living the exact life you want to live, listen to Joe and Tyler discuss what philosophers, poets, and psychologists have to say. Many seek the meaning of life, others seek to add meaning to life. Some think everything in life happens for a reason, others know how to add reason to everything that happens.

Everyone says growth and gains happen at rest, once the record-setting workout is in the books, but we don't train like we believe it. We want another record-setting workout. And another. Among all training variables, frequency is the toughest to self-regulate. Clients tell us all the time, "But I NEED to train every day!" Load, force production, and duration can be modified to accommodate high volume, but sometimes more rest is the simple answer - the answer to reaching your goals faster. Liste...

Physique sport demands sacrifice and focused intensity like few other challenges, athletic or otherwise. Once the curtain falls and the contest is over, the anti-climactic sense of loss can be traumatic. It has been your identity and most aggressive pursuit for months, maybe years. And it's finished. The psychological impact is matched only by the biological shifts occurring at the same time. It can be a perfect storm of demise...or it can be a catalyst for even bigger accomplishment. Joe chats ...

Do you move away from danger or toward hope? Protect against risk or go for reward? We're evolutionarily wired to self-protect, for obvious reasons, but some of us are a little too good at it. If we're not careful, we can slip into patterns of frustration, unhappiness, resentment, and overall negativity. Who's the happiest person you know? Always glass-half-full, right? Always has something good to say? Pursuing health and strength and sport should be positive, and we should radiate positivity t...

We all have that one muscle group that won't respond. Maybe it's a genetic phenotype liability compared to whatever standard we hold; maybe we truly don't have the right force/load/frequency programming mapped out; maybe we're not allowing for enough recovery; maybe it's even sleep or nutrition. Joe and Adam tackle it all in this Frat House edition of CPU. Grab a pen and notebook, or a beer, or all three - whatever frat house life means to you - and get ready to unlock some new progress!

Ancient Greek philosophers created entire worldviews around how to meet the innate drives to seek pleasure while also acknowledging the need to work. The original hustle culture was born in the principles of stoicism and asceticism. It seems the debate rages even deeper today with some jumping across the cultural divide to hedonism. Our hardcore fitness friends lean into the grind. We know sacrifice. We know pain. We know patience. We know work. But do we know real pleasure? The kind of happines...

Guest host Jennifer Souders, M.D., joins Joe to discuss whether or not safety limits our ability to succeed. It has been said that a choice of safety reinforces fear, but does it?
