Mikey Likes You - SUPPLEMENTS: Good, Bad, Ugly Apr 25, 2023

Show notes

Powders, pills, and potions make the fitness industry go around. If you know anything about my philosophy, you know that I am not a fan of supplements in general, and I think they're at the bottom of the fitness hierarchy. That being said, some supplements are definitely worth your money and can help you enhance your nutrition and training.

Fat Shaming, Crushed Throats, Legal Weed, Eating to Train vs Training to Eat Mar 27, 2023

Show notes

I put a lot of effort into this episode. I always try to put my best foot forward, but sometimes I can discuss fitness stuff on autopilot. I give a focused and thoughtful take on "Fat Activists" and body image issues in this episode. Plus, I fill you in on one of my life's most embarrassing and awkward moments. That is not at all exaggerated.

Lifting Heavy - All the Important Details Mar 01, 2023

Show notes

I've been releasing a series of episodes regarding heavy-weight training, and I want to finish it with this episode that covers relevant details. Today I focus on alternative forms of progression that live outside the amount of weight and the number of repetitions. Weight and reps are the primary forms of progression, and today we discuss pauses, exaggerated range of motion, and prolonged negatives. These tactics can help you continue getting stronger without adding weight to the bar, but make no mistake; subsequently, they will help with that primary progression of overall weight lifted. Let's get some!!!

The embarrassing episode part 2 and the reLENTless Challenge Feb 23, 2023

Show notes

I don't technically celebrate Lent anymore, but I was raised Catholic, which is part of my identity. I coincidentally arrived at a very confusing and painful point in my life, and I am using these 40 days and 40 nights to lock things down. I want, dare I say need, you to accompany me. I am a bit embarrassed by this episode, as I break down and cry, and it's not subtle. I start talking about something that I haven't talked about at all, even in my private life, and that is the death of my friend Orlando Sanchez. He was famous and well-respected in Grappling, but he had been my friend before he ever tied his belt. I also have been having some aggressive depression and anxiety; frankly, I lost it a little. Thank you so much to all my sponsors and everyone who listens and subscribes.

Stop It with the Light Weights Feb 15, 2023

Show notes

Chances are if you don't lift heavy weights, it's because you feel like it's not optimal for you. Chances are, it's the most necessary form of exercise to achieve your fitness goals. This considers that most people have a fat loss at the top of their fitness goals. So if you're tired of spinning your wheels and don't want skinny fat syndrome or perpetual flat butt, then absorb this episode and load up the plates!
