We all know by now that modern living is sedentary far beyond what it rightfully should be. So what has society’s answer to this been? Why, exercise, of course! And lots of it.

Some would say we don’t exercise enough. I would say I half agree, but we need to define some terms (but on MY terms):

Exercise (n): physical activity done in an organized, structured fashion.

This differs slightly from the textbook definition of exercise, but there’s a reason for that.

What, pray tell, IS that reason?

I tell you all about it on this episode. Listen in and enjoy.

Ep. 357: Al Kavadlo and Aleks talk strength, social media, veganism, and more

I’m joined on this fine episode by none other than my pal Al Kavadlo – calisthenics expert, fitness powerhouse, and all around interesting guy.

In this episode we have a freewheeling chat on social media, high school gym class, veganism vs. eating meat, and much, much more.

(Oh, and Al has a brand-new book coming out about building your mobility through minimalist means, so you might wanna check that out, too: https://strongandfit.com/products/mobility-man-by-al-kavadlo)

There’s been a lot of talk recently about the importance of consistency above everything in your training. And you know what? I agree with that. You need to remain consistent.

Tune in and find out WTF I’m talking about and why it’s so important.

I wanna show you 3 of my favorite go-to tips to help you hit a PR in SOMETHING today.

These are universally applicable (i.e. from upper body to lower body exercises and anything in between).

If your training has been consistent and you’re not too worn down from work, kids, a nagging spouse, existential dread, or something similar, you may very well find that you’ll be able to crank out an extra rep, put up some heavier weight, or lift your old PR with greater ease!

I’m joined on this fine episode by my friend and former Master kettlebell instructor in not one, but TWO organizations…David Whitley (aka ‘The Iron Tamer’)

On this episode, Dave and I take a slightly different, yet mighty important turn toward a topic that touches us all: casting off the shakles of the past to march boldly toward a future that is brighter not just for us, but more importantly for our children – and how to do that by UNlearning many of thing thoughts and habits we picked up as kids.

Be sure to check out Dave’s fascinating workshop on the topic (totally free, btw) on January 24th, 2023: https://www.advancingmanproject.com/optin-551722801660616478080

Henry Rollins, the lead singer of Black Flag and The Rollins Band, once said that “the definition of definition is re-invention” as far as deciding who you are as a person.

Your job as an individual is to define yourself FOR yourself — not to rely on the ready-made identity your parents wanted for you (though you may certainly find inspiration in that, as I have).

On the strength front, this is more important now than ever (especially if you’re a millenial). Listen, apply, and enjoy!

I’m joined on this riveting episode by Rob Pleban – a long-time Hammer Head (i.e. follower of Yours Jewly, the Hebrew Hammer) and even longer time enthusiast for kettlebells, calisthenics, and old-school training from near-forgotten eras (something I’m also very interested in).

Without question, learning how to avoid common mistakes in your training — mistakes that hold back your gains, frustrate your efforts, and do precious little more than kill your success and take you way off course while your friends surge boldly forward — is a must.

And if you’re a busy professional with limited time to work out, you don’t have a lot of time for trial and error — so there’s no sense in taking a shot in the dark and hoping for the best.

With that said, one of the best and most frequently ignored methods of boosting your strength in just about anything is…exactly what I talk about in this podcast.
