Show notes

Dr Greg Potter is a PhD graduate at the University of Leeds & Content Director at HumanOS. His research focus is on sleep and chronobiology; looking at circadian rhythms, light-dark cycles and the potential for meals to entrain peripheral circadian clocks.

The unsung hero of health is hiding under our pillow every night and today we learn just how important a good night's sleep is to our short & long term fitness, our mood, cognitive output, physical performance, injury risk, weight and pretty much everything else.

Discover the best approach for dealing with sleep deprivation, how to optimise your sleeping environment, how meal content & timing can affect our circadian rhythms and a lot more.

From Zero To Rio: A Life's Journey To The Olympic Games - Sonny Webster - #026 Aug 20, 2018

Show notes

Sonny Webster is an Olympic Weightlifter who represented Great Britain at the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio.

Sonny is one of the best known names in the world of strength and fitness in the UK. But before the hundreds of thousands of followers and seminar tours all over the world, he had to learn his craft. Today we get to hear his story.

From overcoming massive injuries as a child to leaving home at 16, having qualifying day catastrophes and no money to eat to walking out at the Olympic Opening Ceremony next to Andy Murray, we get to learn about his entire journey. Discover his pre-lift routine, his thoughts on CrossFit in the lifting community and why he's endangering his life with a barbell almost daily in videos on Instagram.

This will be the first of many podcasts as there is a lot to go into about Sonny's career and mindset, but for now, enjoy Chapter #1.

Q&A 101 - #025 Aug 13, 2018

Show notes

Jonny & Yusef from PropaneFitness.com are back again. This time we asked for questions from listeners at home, and oh boy did we get some interesting ones...

We talk honestly about our relationships with each other, open up regarding our own mental health battles, and elucidate what is probably the best short-form life advice we can give you. Plus we work out what is the biggest animal we can single handedly cling film to a lamppost.

Listen through until the end to find out what episodes and topics we have coming up and hear me begin to articulate "My Why".

Also... This probably ranks as my favourite episode to record so far. The questions are so wide ranging and either interesting or ridiculous; both of which are fantastic to answer. It's a credit to the community who tune into these podcasts, so thank you.

BT's life sounds like a movie script. I met him 2 years ago at an author's event and always knew that if I had a broadcasting platform I had to sit down with him to let him tell his story. Enjoy the most powerful episode so far.

The Mindset Game; Can You Teach Mental Toughness In Sport? - Jordan Wallace, Paul Warrior and Tim Briggs - #020 Jul 02, 2018

Show notes

A fond welcome back to UK CrossFit coaches, nutrionists & athletes, Jordan Wallace, Paul Warrior and Tim Briggs.

This week, I wanted to dissect their views on mindset in sport. An athlete's performance in CrossFit, Powerlifting, Endurance Racing and many pursuits is heavily mediated by their mental game, but can you teach it? Or is mental toughness an innate skill you either have or you don't?

As usual we got distracted and wildly careered off-topic. Expect to hear some very contrasting views on mindset for sports, their frank & honest feedback after the 2018 CrossFit Regionals, and what their opinions are on Adam Collard's performance on Love Island.
