Lift For Life with Graham and Angus

Angus & Graham discuss that supplements are useful for filling genuine nutritional gaps or supporting specific health and performance needs when diet alone is insufficient. They work best as a complement to a balanced diet and healthy lifestyle, not as a replacement. Graham describes his personal supplement regime.Ready to stop winging it and start training with purpose, clarity and support? https://jc9cc7oe7jf.typeform.com/to/feOjPDNjLift For Life◼️Follow Lift For Life - https://bit.ly/4nYt6yA◼️Follow Angus - https://bit.ly/3KQKDdq◼️Follow Graham - https://bit.ly/4n8nKQ3#LiftForLifePodcast #Supplements #HealthEducation #StrengthTraining #FitnessPodcast

Angus & Graham discuss how seemingly insignificant aspects of your daily nutrition can quietly push you into a calorie surplus without you realising it. Adding a drizzle of oil when cooking, switching to full-fat dairy, finishing your child’s leftovers, or upgrading to a slightly larger portion all feel insignificant in isolation, but together they can add several hundred extra calories a day. Because these tweaks don’t change how full you feel or how much you think you’re eating, they often go unnoticed, yet over weeks and months they are enough to stall fat loss.Ready to stop winging it and start training with purpose, clarity and support? https://jc9cc7oe7jf.typeform.com/to/feOjPDNj#LiftForLifePodcast #FatLoss #NutritionScience #CalorieDeficit #SustainableFatLoss

An entertaining episode as Dry January cones to a close “for those who celebrate”. Angus & Graham discuss how they prepare for and try to cure a hangover. G-Dog also digs into the science of course.Ready to stop winging it and start training with purpose, clarity and support? https://jc9cc7oe7jf.typeform.com/to/feOjPDNj#LiftForLifePodcast #HangoverRecovery #HealthEducation #FitnessLifestyle #DryJanuary

Graham & Angus discuss the importance of ‘mobility’ in life generally and in weight-training and running specifically. They describe the difference between mobility and ‘stretching’; how many people inappropriately prepare for runs and gym sessions; and best practices. Graham describes how mobility helped him avoid surgery post a skiing accident, and then get stronger. Mobility is central to muscle growth as it enhances your range of motion.Ready to stop winging it and start training with purpose, clarity and support? https://jc9cc7oe7jf.typeform.com/to/feOjPDNj#LiftForLifePodcast #MobilityTraining #StrengthThroughRange #InjuryPrevention #FitnessEducation

Angus & Graham discuss running and fat loss. Running is often seen as a go-to for fat loss, but it is a blunt and inefficient tool. The calories burned are modest for the time invested and are frequently offset by a sharp rise in hunger later in the day. Repeated long-distance running can promote muscle loss as the body adapts for efficiency. That slows metabolism, encouraging fat accumulation and a “skinny fat” body.Lift For Life◼️Follow Lift For Life - https://bit.ly/4nYt6yA◼️Follow Angus - https://bit.ly/3KQKDdq◼️Follow Graham - https://bit.ly/4n8nKQ3#LiftForLifePodcast #FatLoss #FitnessMyths #RunningVsWeights #BodyRecomposition

Angus and Graham discuss that weight training and strength is not essential in today’s society. Modern conveniences such as cars, escalators, desk-based employment and online shopping mean that you can allow physical decline and not suffer in the medium term. However, later in life the damage will become increasingly obvious. They then go on to talk about the joy that comes from being stronger at all stages of life.Lift For Life◼️Follow Lift For Life - https://bit.ly/4nYt6yA◼️Follow Angus - https://bit.ly/3KQKDdq◼️Follow Graham - https://bit.ly/4n8nKQ3#LiftForLifePodcast #NewYearFitness #BestShapeOfYourLife #FitnessGoals #DisciplineOverMotivation

Graham & Angus go back to basics to start the New Year. They discuss how they would start a renewed fitness and health regime in 2026. Motivation fades but discipline sustains. How would they do it ? Graham suggests going slow. Too many people accelerate from zero to full speed in January, and that strategy is doomed to fail within a short period.Lift For Life◼️Follow Lift For Life - https://bit.ly/4nYt6yA◼️Follow Angus - https://bit.ly/3KQKDdq◼️Follow Graham - https://bit.ly/4n8nKQ3#LiftForLifePodcast #NewYearFitness #BestShapeOfYourLife #FitnessGoals #DisciplineOverMotivation

In this festive episode, Graham & Angus discuss how they enjoy Christmas because it’s a time when there are more opportunities to train, as it’s less busy at work. They discuss their Christmas Day routine, Christmas traditions, and some obvious hacks.

The term “muscle toning” is a marketing invention with no scientific definition. Graham & Angus discuss what is actually means to “get a toned body” and how you do it.Lift For Life◼️Follow Lift For Life - https://bit.ly/4nYt6yA◼️Follow Angus - https://bit.ly/3KQKDdq◼️Follow Graham - https://bit.ly/4n8nKQ3#LiftForLifePodcast #FitnessMyths #GetToned #MuscleBuilding #FatLoss

In the second installment of the interviews, Angus interviews Graham this week. They discuss Graham’s childhood in Lancashire, and the series of personal reinventions/growth as he moved to London, then Singapore, Hong Kong and back to the UK. Meeting Angus 7 years ago and the impact that has had on him mentally and well as physically is contextualised against that history.

In this special episode, Graham interviews Angus. He finally answers the question that seems to follow him everywhere, which is whether he is actually part of the Warburton family. He reflects on growing up around the bakery world, including the surreal moments of seeing his father on television in adverts with Kermit The Frog and Robert De Niro.Angus also opens up about how boarding school shaped the person he is today and how weight training became a powerful turning point in his teenage years. He talks honestly about his own fitness journey, how much it has transformed his life, and why it drives his desire to help others do the same.The conversation goes deep on his coaching, his values, and the friendships that have played such a big role in his story. Most importantly, he shares the impact of his relationship with his fiancée Izzy and what she means to him.Lift For Life◼️Follow Lift For Life - https://bit.ly/4nYt6yA◼️Follow Angus - https://bit.ly/3KQKDdq◼️Follow Graham - https://bit.ly/4n8nKQ3#LiftForLifePodcast #AngusWarburton #FitnessJourney #PodcastInterview #LifeStory

Angus & Graham discuss dopamine. They describe how it works, why it makes you feel good and how to maximise your dopamine surges during exercise. They also compare it to such surges that are caused artificially by drugs. Social connection, cold water, goal setting, music and achieving any small wins can also give you dopamine surges. Angus points out that Graham’s music-inspired dopamine surges cause some interesting dance moves...Lift For Life◼️Follow Lift For Life - https://bit.ly/4nYt6yA◼️Follow Angus - https://bit.ly/3KQKDdq◼️Follow Graham - https://bit.ly/4n8nKQ3#LiftForLifePodcast #Dopamine #FitnessMotivation #Neuroscience #Mindset

Angus & Graham discuss going from zero to hero in fitness and weight training. How do you create momentum from zero? They also discuss Graham’s new hat! Training is all about steady progress built on discipline, patience, and self-belief. It starts with understanding that everyone begins somewhere, focusing on proper technique, manageable weights, and consistent training rather than quick results. As you build strength and endurance, confidence grows, and what once felt impossible becomes routine. Nutrition, rest, and recovery become as important as lifting itself, helping you sustain long-term progress. Graham describes how he has adapted his training because of his blood clot.Lift For Life◼️Follow Lift For Life - https://bit.ly/4nYt6yA◼️Follow Angus - https://bit.ly/3KQKDdq◼️Follow Graham - https://bit.ly/4n8nKQ3#LiftForLifePodcast #FitnessMotivation #BeginnerFitness #Momentum #ConsistencyOverPerfection

Graham & Angus describe how many people ignore a core aspect of fitness: Non-Exercise Activity Thermogenesis (NEAT). You burn far more calories through NEAT when you move consistently throughout the day than you do in a single hour at the gym. Standing, walking, fidgeting, and household tasks all add up, keeping your metabolism elevated for longer than a short workout can. People with higher NEAT levels often maintain leaner physiques despite spending less time in formal exercise. Combining NEAT with weight training is the gold standard.Lift For Life◼️Follow Lift For Life - https://bit.ly/4nYt6yA◼️Follow Angus - https://bit.ly/3KQKDdq◼️Follow Graham - https://bit.ly/4n8nKQ3#LiftForLifePodcast #FatLossTips #FitnessEducation #SustainableFitness #NEAT

Angus & Graham discuss the nuances of selecting a training partner. Focus on symbiotic goals and a positive attitude. They describe their own relationship and how it’s developed over time. The choice of gym buddy can have a significant impact on both your growth and also your mindset in the gym, so think about it carefully. Graham notes that for mental health, it can also be valuable to train alone with your favourite music.Lift For Life◼️Follow Lift For Life - https://bit.ly/4nYt6yA◼️Follow Angus - https://bit.ly/3KQKDdq◼️Follow Graham - https://bit.ly/4n8nKQ3#LiftForLifePodcast #GymPartner #FitnessMindset #WorkoutMotivation #GymTalk

In the first episode of the Lift For Life podcast’s new YouTube phase, Angus & Graham debate gym etiquette. They agree on many things, but Angus suggests that some of G-Dog’s foibles are “a generational thing” which predictably riles Graham!Lift For Life◼️Follow Lift For Life - https://bit.ly/4nYt6yA◼️Follow Angus - https://bit.ly/3KQKDdq◼️Follow Graham - https://bit.ly/4n8nKQ3

Graham & Angus examine research showing that couples who both have exercise regimes - together or separately- enjoy better adherence, mood, and relationship quality. They describe their own experiences and draw on scientific studies. Focusing on your partner’s goals, and keeping sessions supportive can foster motivation. They debate how the motivations of men and women may differ. Overall, they conclude that shared fitness builds stronger bonds, reduces stress, and aligns lifestyles for better long-term health and happiness.

Graham & Angus discuss pilates. From the extraordinary upbringing and First World War story of the man who created it, to the many modern variations. They discuss Dua Lipa’s obsession with it, and Graham’s tricky first experience. It’s a phenomenal accompaniment to a weight-training regime, but don’t jump into a big advanced group session without proper coaching first.
