Foxy, Fit, and Functional – You Can Have It All with Marcus Filly's Functional Bodybuilding Approach — Muscle Maven Radio Episode #14 May 09, 2019

Show notes

Marcus Filly grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area and had a collegiate career in soccer at the University of California, Berkeley. There he earned his degree in Molecular and Cell Biology with an emphasis in Nutrition and Physiology. After Berkeley he complete a year of graduate work at the Ohio State University School of Medicine. His interest in both athletics and human health and performance eventually led him to CrossFit in 2007. He has gone on to compete at the CrossFit Games 6 times, three times as an individual (2016 12th fittest) and three times as a team member (2012 6th fittest team). Marcus has been a health and fitness coach for ten years since leaving medical school in 2009. He was formerly a CrossFit facility owner for five years, has completed all five of the OPEX CCP courses, and has coached clients remotely from all over the world. Marcus founded Revival Strength, based in San Rafael, California, to help clients from diverse fitness backgrounds fall in love with their training. Revival Strength also offers remote and online group training programs.

What better way to work on looking, feeling, and performing better than to learn from someone who's had a lot of success doing it. Elite CrossFit athlete, gym owner, and trainer Marcus Filly talk to us about the evolution of his own approach to training, mindset and coaching as he went from his twenties to thirties, and his shift in approach from maximum intensity competitive CrossFit to longevity, recovery, and functional training, while still maintaining a high level of performance (and beach bod muscles). We talk about the growth of functional bodybuilding, his personalized approach to coaching, how he works, trains, and eats, and how to shift your mindset: stop comparing your current self to your former self, and instead embrace new challenges, goals, and training paradigms.

Minute Breakdown:

0 - 19 What is functional bodybuilding? We dive straight into a meathead discussion on injury prevention, hybrid training, and how to manage our desire for intensity and tendency for overtraining. How can high performing and recreational athletes alike still chase goals, challenge themselves, and look good in different phases of their life?

19 – 29 How to remove the ego from training; why pain is a powerful motivator; why comparison rarely has the positive outcomes you hope it will; and how exploring new training methodologies can improve your fitness as you get older

29 – 33 Talking about his experience training under James Fitzgerald and taking all 5 of the OPEX CCP courses and how this informs his training and coaching

33 – 38 Why the key, as a trainer, is to listen and truly understand what clients want; being able to support both elite athletes and the majority of people who just want to look and feel better without simply pushing your own personal approach

38 – 52 What's a day in Marcus' life like? How does he balance work and health, and how does he turn his challenges—in life and business—into learning opportunities

52 – We chat about nutrition and his personal approach, including some testing he had recently that informed him that he shouldn't be drinking coffee – Ashleigh offers an alternative

Division 3 To The Olympics to CEO: An Inspiring Underdog Story — Real Chalk #74 May 07, 2019

Show notes

In this episode we touch Nick Symmonds story of running for a division 3 school that ultimately put him into the Olympics... Twice... When asking the coach of his top choice college (Oregon) if he could be part of the team — the coach reciprocated with a definitive "it's never going to happen."

Even with double Olympic glory and this amazing underdog story, Nick still became depressed and had a 1 year slump of finding himself that he describes as "needed to happen." Nick talks about how he's found a new love for working out again, but this times it's CrossFit and other outdoor activities.

With a New love for working out and a new outlook on life, Nick has more energy and spring in his step then ever to create something great. His company Rungum is actually more than great and is now sold in huge storefronts including Target and a few other huge superstores that are not allowed To be spoken of just yet ;)

Stories like this one are exactly why I do this podcast and I absolutely LOVE everything about this episode. Get inspired and give it a listen!

Optimal pelvic health for improved mobility, strength, digestion, and SEX — Muscle Maven Radio Episode #13 May 02, 2019

Show notes

Tamra Wroblesky, PT, DPT is a pelvic physical therapist and co-founder of Inner Dynamics pelvic health and orthopedic clinic. She is a graduate of Thomas Jefferson University in Philadelphia, PA. Tamra is an avid mountaineer, summiting Mount Kilimanjaro, Pico de Orizaba, and Mount Rainier. She ran the Ocean Drive Marathon, and frequents the gym for weightlifting. As a former collegiate athlete with an active lifestyle, Dr. Wroblesky has special interests in treating the female athlete, with an emphasis on preventative protocols to limit injury. She is a USAW certified Sport Performance Coach and works closely with several weightlifters, including Katie Montague who took home 6 gold medals when Tamra accompanied her to University Nationals in spring 2017. She also works closely with Crossfit boxes and USA Weightlifting to give her "Pelvic Health for Performance" lecture and her "Supercharge your Pelvis" article can be found here on USA Weightlifting's website. Dr. Wroblesky became interested in pelvic health physical therapy after her own medical obstacles dealing with severe pelvic and hip pain over six years. She has had several surgeries, including two hip labral tear repairs, allowing her to be mindful of the patient experience.

This episode is all about pelvic health, and how proper pelvic function can have an impact on chronic pain, sexual function, mobility and physical performance, digestion and bowel function, and much more. Ashleigh talks with pelvic health specialist Dr. Tamra Wroblesky about the most common issues she helps her clients with, including incontinence, prolapse, and chronic pain; how to know when you should see a pelvic specialist rather than another doctor or specialist; things you can address personally before medical intervention to optimize your pelvic health; how to educate yourself about options when faced with possible surgeries; and what exactly is a bowel massage? All that and much more in this week's episode of Muscle Maven Radio.

Minute Breakdown:

3 - 12 An introduction to Tamra and what a pelvic physical therapist does; the issues she deals with the most for men and women including chronic pain, incontinence, prolapse, sexual dysfunction and digestive issues; and how she came into the profession after her own issues as an athlete with injuries, unnecessary surgeries, and painful sex

12 – 23 What signs or symptoms or things you should be aware of that you might want to consider seeing a pelvic specialist for including issues around sexual function and bowel movements: a lot of information about what "a normal" pee and poop schedule should look and feel like!

23 – 30 why women need to be extra careful managing pressure because of our physiology; talking about peeing during exercise, leaking while lifting, and why we should take it more seriously—and why kegels aren't always the answer

30 – 36 walking through the process of seeing a pelvic health specialist; how they gather information and identify and address the issues

36 – 48 How proper breathing mechanics and recovery relate to pelvic health and physical performance

48 – 57 Talking about the complications of hip and labral surgeries, how to do the right work and PT for your joints both before and after surgeries –how important it is to be consistent and patient, how to know when surgery is necessary, who to talk to and see before taking that step

57: Five Key elements of bowel health. Also…what's a poop massage?

Why Branding And Vibes Are Everything With Games Podium Finisher, Gym Owner, And Clothing Brand Entrepreneur Justin Ahrens — Real Chalk #73 Apr 30, 2019

Show notes

In this week's episode I visit my friend Justin Ahrens (@justin.ahers) in Eugene Oregon and chat about his new gym and clothing brand that have been doing quite well in a short period of time. We discuss a lot about how he runs his gym, why branding is important, and how the vibe is everything. Did I mention that Justin just happens to be a CrossFit Games podium finisher for the team division? And he's been in the game for just as long as I have. Side note... In college he was a competitive golfer. Weird huh?

Anyway, this is a great easy listen that reiterates how important the "little things" are in business and life. Hope you enjoy it and follow Justin and his new clothing brand called Treeline.
