The All-Strong Podcast

Training is hard. Learning about training is hard. Learning in general is hard. How can we stay educated when everyone around us seems to be saying something different? Here's some information on how to properly take on and learn from information. Thanks for the question submission! Don't forget to suggest questions and topics for future shows!

I'm getting more and more personal as this series goes on, aren't I? This episode is all about over-complicating training, why some coaches do it and how you can look out for and question it if you're worried about some of the methods you've seen or been made to use. Complex doesn't mean effective, and adaptations to the norm don't guarantee results. Don't be fooled into training like an idiot just because someone with a piece of paper told you it would work!

This episode is a rant. It's also not been recorded correctly, so forgive the strange audio quality compared to normal. I really don't like when "the industry" puts this kind of nonsense across, so here's why you shouldn't do the 75 Hard personal workout challenge thing.

This week's episode focuses on how a proper, progressive training plan can impact your mental wellbeing in more ways than you maybe thought possible. If you're looking to make your time in the gym even more beneficial than before, then listen along and see what you can do to make sure you're doing the most to maximise your training's effects. We talk about stress, recovery and training management and how each of those things can be used to ensure that your mind benefits from training as much as your body.

Welcome back! Series 3 is here and we're looking to get the year started on a note of encouragement. Over the last 12 months, I've taken on running as one of my primary means of training.

This week, we're looking at the "hot" topic of cold therapy or cold water immersion, and whether or not it's useful for you to use in recovery when training regularly. There's a ton of research available on the topic, but what does any of it tell us? I used AI to help me find the answers, and I'm presenting them to you now to do with what you see fit. Cold water therapy or immersion is something so many people, including myself are into right now, but what does it really help with? I've explored a huge range of information on the topic as well as consulted my own personal experiences, and it's really interesting to see how things compare. What are your experiences with cold therapy? leave a a voice note with your thoughts! Don't forget to suggest questions and topics for future shows!

We're on a hot one this week. This episode is for those of us who don't tidy up the gym when we're done with our equipment. We're talking basic gym etiquette, safety, good behaviour and accessibility. Know someone who doesn't tidy up? Send this to them to see if we can change their minds. Everyone deserves to use the gym, and there's no good reason to ruin their experience. Don't forget to suggest questions and topics for future shows!

Today it's just me, and I'm talking about how you can learn to appreciate your efforts and take better stock of whatever you're up to. It's hard to stop and be kind to yourself, especially when it feels selfish, but we're going to learn a few ways that you can do that and the reasons why it's important to do so.

If you've ever heard me express an opinion on something relating to training, there's a strong chance that that opinion was inspired by one of three people: Brian Shaw, Mark Rippetoe or Andy Tsang. When I signed up to do my Level 4 in S&C, I never expected it to have quite as positive an impact on me - Andy's massive base of knowledge and ability to use passion to make you think about facts and methods in your own way is unparalleled. He knows exactly when to push and exactly when to step back and learn for yourself, so when we started chatting about the possibility of recording an episode together, I immediately got excited for the conversation ahead of me. I hope you find this chat as valuable as I did. Andy's been a huge influence on the development of my career, and I hope that bringing his words to you can help with your training, work or even just a training session or two.

The world has changed a lot in recent years, but we've had no help to deal with it. This year especially, we're seeing record lows in motivation levels across the board. I think I have some ideas on where it's come from and how we can deal with it moving forwards.

Mindset is a word you hear thrown around a lot in fitness, and it can be a bit of a cliché in a lot of cases, but I got Jo McAlister of Reset My Stress to come on the show and talk about how mindset can be related to the unconscious mind, and through certain ways of thinking, you can alter it and make it work for you.  Connect with Jo on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jo-mcalister/ Want to support the show? https://www.buymeacoffee.com/Allstrongpod Check out my other links linktr.ee/allstrongpod
