This episode we have have a former guest Chris "BIG BEAR" Bellantoni return to talk fitness of course, but also his new clothing brand SoldierUp!!!
Its been a while but we finally sat down for our latest episode. We go over some new perspectives on training along with some new crazy-ass fitness goals!
This Episode we talk about that one thing everyone has, an EGO! We discuss how it runs rampant in the gym and how easily we transfer into the real world!
This episode of the podcast we sit down and discuss the pros and cons of 30 day fitness challenges. We explain what we think are the goods and the bads of theses types of challenges.
Are you a "POWER LIFTER" or just a weight lifter? This episode we sit down and explain why we think they're completely different and one in the same!
This episode we sit down and talk about the use of supplements. We talk about when to take them and when not to take them. We give advice based on our own experiences and knowledge with using them personally.
This episode we were so excited about being able to come back to the gym that we couldn't keep it to ourselves, so we sat down and talked about it...in podcast form of course! Short and sweet but still good! We talk about how it felt to finally get back at it along with some other things we noticed!
This Episode we sit down with a very special guest Alissa Russo! She is a dedicated fitness enthusiast who has competed in two very different worlds- Bikini and Powerlifting. Alissa explains to us the trials and tribulations of training, dieting and prep for both competitions as well as insight to the competitions themselves and life afterwards. She's truly an inspiration for any young woman looking to compete in either of the two styles. So please give a warm welcome to Alissa Russo!!!
A lot of things are gonna change after this "pandemic" especially in the fitness industry. In this episode we talk about how we think things may change for "fitness" influencers on social media, we eventually digress into our general opinion of these "fitness" influencers. But again we are NO experts on this topic we're just simply Shootin' the Shit!
While we are starting to see the quarantine "phase by phase" come to an end, we discuss our concerns on the "Future" of the fitness industry both as lifters and trainers and what pros and cons we believe are to come from this pandemic.
This episode Eric updates us on his diet and how hard it is to maintain by blaming it on a worldwide pandemic, but if you ask me it sounds like he's just making up excuses! We touch up on our opinions about the dreaded COVID-19 (Corona Virus)! And we're briefly interrupted by a very special guest...Mr. Kobi! Gear up for some touchy subjects and poor diet execution!
This episode Eric is finally done with powerlifting! Will it last forever? Who knows! But probably not! Also he's committed to dieting! And his goal is 40lbs!!! It comes with heartbreak and disappointment and Eric is here to bitch and moan about it!!! Also Greg is here to give his "two-sense" on a subject he knows very little about! Join us on this quest to nothingness and nonsense as we attempt to explain our perception on a complicated topic...food!
This episode Greg is a little annoyed about that "one guy" at the gym that is notorious for doing nothing at the gym. Takes up space, stretches occasionally to appear busy and, but of course, gives that unsolicited advice that no one cares for or asked for! We also talk about some other stuff but mostly bitchin' about that "one guy"! Greg Younger: @gyounger117Eric Potter: @potter_performance
Ep.3 We sit down with our good buddy Chris Bellantoni, whom we know as being a savage from the gym!!! This psychopath never, and I mean NEVER, turns down a challenge! No matter how outrageous, this "Urban Grizzly Bear" accepts all challengers! Does this bear shit in the woods? Probably. But chances are you're not strong enough to find out! In this episode we revisit an old topic that sparks quite a heated debate amongst the three of us. We also go over a little background info to Chris's journey into savagery on top of some things he has currently in the works! Wanna know what it is? Give it a listen and find out!!!Chris Bellantoni: @chris_bellantoniEric Potter: @potter_performanceGreg Younger: @gyounger117
Ep.8: Ever use any fitness gadgets (I.e. Fitbit, Apple Watch, Whoop strap)? Ever wonder if they actually work? Well they don't!!! So buckle in and we'll tell you why! Or we'll just give you our opinion about them...either way the information you receive from the gadgets or from us is all completely useless!!!! Enjoy!Eric Potter: @potter_performanceGreg Younger: @gyounger117
Shootin' the Shit Ep.2: In this episode we have our first guest of the podcast RAFAEL DENIS a.k.a. "Cuban White Rhino" a very rare beast not commonly seen by the average human but when observed it leaves every spectator in complete awe! We get into it a little about his life and upbringing, what got him into fitness and what all around makes this wild animal tick. To make it short he's a savage and this is his story...for now!

Here we have our first episode of the "Shootin' the Shit" series of our podcast. In this series we take a step back from our "regularly scheduled programming" and bring you a whole lot of nonsense! In Ep.1 Eric eats pistachios, dogs make a brief appearance and essentially nothing gets accomplished besides killing of some time. Give it a listen, tell us what you think and while you're at it follow us on Instagram!Greg Younger: @gyounger117Eric Potter: @potter_performance
Ep. 7: In this episode we discuss our opinions on form, technique, isolation and whether or not "forced reps" are beneficial or detrimental to overall progress.
Ep.6: This episode we discuss our differences on the use of accessory equipment (Belts, Wrist Wraps, Wrist Straps, Knee Sleeves, etc.). Does it really help or is it kinda just doing the work for you? One believes it's a crucial part of exercise while the other thinks of it as a crutch! Ultimately, we get nowhere and nothing gets settled and it's all there for you to listen to!
