#70 After Dark - Responsibility: 76 Minutes with USPSA Grand Master Mark Smith from JBS Training Group Jun 02, 2023

Show notes

Mark Smith of JBS Training Group is a man on a mission. In this episode we cover Mark’s history as a shooter and what drives him. Along the way he provides insight on his experiences and thoughts that center around being a protector and provider for his family and what he refers to as, “the weight of the gun”.
Throughout the episode Mark unapologetically presents some very direct questions for listeners to contemplate.
I think the timing of this episode and Marks message couldn’t be hitting at a better time in American firearms culture.

#99 - Q&A: Fitness Motivation, Injury Prevention, Gym Etiquette, Endurance Training, Fitness Resources, Protein Shakes & Fitness Takeaways May 29, 2023

Show notes

Welcome back to Iron Sights! Today we're switching it up - our producer fielded your questions from Instagram and YouTube so that we could answer them all live on the show. CeCe English, Stephen Brenna & Jeff Chenault joined me to answer:
Timestamps
00:00 Intro
01:30 My husband is about 40lbs heavier than the man I married. What motivates men to get in shape and how can I help support him get healthy?
22:56 Will improving my flexibility help prevent injuries? I’m reading mixed messages online. Some people say being too flexible causes weak joints and others say joint mobility and flexibility help reduce injury. Love the show and would appreciate your perspective on this.
29:05 Is there unspoken gym etiquette that only gym owners, trainers, and gym regulars know about? Share the secrets…I just got a membership and want to be prepared.
37:52 Found Red Dot through the whole foods clip and have been following everyone on the team! My question is, what do Stephen’s workouts look like for endurance racing & training for ultra-marathons?
44:30 I often feel overwhelmed by the abundance of conflicting fitness information available. How can I qualify influencers and find reliable sources of advice to guide my fitness journey?
56:21 Does it matter if I take a protein shake 2hr after a workout or do I have to do it within a specific time window after my workout?
1:00:48 After decades of working in the fitness industry, what is one thing each of you had to learn the hard way about health/fitness?

#98 - Q&A: Salt In Your Water, Best Aesthetic Results, Overcoming Caffeine, RDF Strong, Pre-Workout Dynamics & Fitness Algorithms May 22, 2023

Show notes

Welcome back to Iron Sights! Today we're switching it up - our producer fielded your questions from Instagram and YouTube so that we could answer them all live on the show. CeCe English, Stephen Brenna & Jeff Chenault joined me to answer:
Timestamps
00:00 Intro
01:23 Why do people put salt in their water? I’ve heard it’s good for hydration but what’s the actual benefit?
07:20 I’ve done 1 set of max pull ups and 1 set of max push ups per day for the past two months. I feel great and have been getting stronger. I’m not interested in learning a ton of exercises, I just want to do a few movements every day. If you had to pick 2 exercises to do everyday to get the best aesthetic results would they be push ups & pull ups? Just want confirmation I’m on the right path. Love the show! Appreciate it.
11:15 I drink a lot of caffeine. 2-3 cups of coffee in the morning and an energy drink in the afternoon. I’m not sure how many mg in total but it’s a daily habit at this point. What are the long term effects and what are some tips for kicking this caffeine addiction?
20:30 I was a beast in the gym when I was younger but it’s been about 10 years since I followed a legit program. Is it a bad idea to jump into RDF strong or is there anything you have that’s good for out of shape athletes who want to get it back?
26:56 What are the health benefits of Magnesium?
30:34 Been listening to the show for almost a year and love the Monday episodes. Question for Jeff & CeCe, what does your personal stretching and mobility routine look like? Do you work it in with your workouts or do you have specific days for mobility?
39:40 I follow a lot of fitness pages on Instagram and have been hearing a lot of the same stuff like: eat more protein, sugar is bad for you etc. Why does my feed look the same as it did last year?
