Mental toughness… it's a hot topic right now. In the CrossFit space we see mental toughness as crawling through a lengthy workout or holding on to the bar for a few more reps. In sports we see athletes getting on the field days after injury and pushing through the pain. In our daily lives, we may boast about working 80 hours a week or never taking vacation days. These scenarios are many times, what our society defines a being tough; sucking it up and putting your head down to do work or just "grinding another day". Of course there is time to do work but is this type of "work" truly the mark of the toughest individuals? On this week's episode we're challenging traditional perceptions of mental toughness. Dr. Sean puts you in the guest seat as he takes you through a visualization exercise on mental toughness, plus he shares his own ego struggles about the time he worked out with Rich Froning for a week that you don't want to miss!

In this episode, I go over a bunch of statistics about millennials and social media conversion rates. I talk about my opinion of owning a gym versus owning an online business. I also give my personal recommendations on what I would do if I could start all over again but in 2019.

We've got Mike Salemi coming on today. He is in the Strong Coach Mastermind and he drops some really great knowledge about his journey, which is going to be very helpful for you as a coach and building your own coaching business. We get into Enlifted as well, so the way this works is when people join The Strong Coach Mastermind, they also go into the Enlifted certification and that's something we offer by itself as well and it's really digging into the mental side of things and we get into mental resilience and how to help clients and set really great goals and really become a coach that stands apart by how we show up for our clients. Enjoy!

Do you know how much should you back squat if you can deadlift 300 pounds? What about how much you should front squat if you back squat 200 pounds? How about this… do you know your 6-rep max strict press on your right arm compared to your left? Or how many 1-arm high pulls you can perform with 33% of your body weight on your right arm compared to your left? If you are scratching your head wondering why we are even asking these questions, listen up!

I met Mr. Dean Guedo at the Spartan world championships in Lake Tahoe this year. I was interested to talk to him because himself and a partner started a new company called "Stronger Experts." This company does a variety of testing on some of the best athletes in the world while simultaneously uploading the data and videos to a platform which qualifies for continuing education credits. Pretty awesome if you need those to keep your certification valid. It's also great because you don't have to travel. Anyway, in this convo I try to bring up a ton of basic meathead-ish questions to shine some light on in his own words. It's fun to geek out sometimes, but sometimes it's more fun to chat the basics. Hope you love it. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Show notes: http://www.shruggedcollective.com/rc-guedo ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ► Subscribe to Shrugged Collective's Channel Here http://bit.ly/BarbellShruggedSubscribe 📲 🎧 Listen to the audio version on the Apple Podcast App or Stitcher for Android Here- http://bit.ly/BarbellShruggedApple http://bit.ly/BarbellShruggedStitcher Shrugged Collective is a network of fitness, health and performance shows that help people achieve their physical and mental health goals.

Eleiko is a world-leading supplier of professional weightlifting, powerlifting and strength training equipment. There's a strong chance you've seen an Eleiko bar in a gym at some point and said, "wow, this is really nice!" And then you actively searched for that bar, every time you returned. They are considered the Ferrari of weightlifting equipment. And after spending a week at the facility in Sweden I could not agree more as to why! The history and energy that floats around the Eleiko facility in Halmstad Sweden is truly unlike anything I have ever experienced before. The process of making a single piece of equipment is so extensive and impressive that it truly looks and feels like a piece of art. I use to love their equipment, but now I am truly obsessed!

I recently spent a week in Sweden with Travis while visiting the CEO of Eleiko. The only thing I knew about him at first was that he was the head coach for team USA weightlifting. Then, I found out he had a few world records for powerlifting, a phenomenal Olympic lifting career, and he's kind of nerd when it comes to training methodology and science. First thought... I just found a new best friend. Second thought... This dude needs to be on a bigger platform because everyone in the strength and conditioning world should know him. He's changing the game, putting a twist on traditional methods, and adding a ton to the strength and conditioning community. Considered the "Louie Simmons" of Olympic Lifting... You. DO NOT. Want. To Miss. This One. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Show notes: http://www.shruggedcollective.com/rc-mash ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ► Subscribe to Shrugged Collective's Channel Here http://bit.ly/BarbellShruggedSubscribe 📲 🎧 Listen to the audio version on the Apple Podcast App or Stitcher for Android Here- http://bit.ly/BarbellShruggedApple http://bit.ly/BarbellShruggedStitcher Shrugged Collective is a network of fitness, health and performance shows that help people achieve their physical and mental health goals.

MDV is the Chief Fitness Officer at NCFIT, managing all fitness, coaching, and programming operations worldwide for the company.

Show Overview: The United States makes up 5% of the world's population and consumes 80% of the world's pharmaceutical drugs. That's a huge problem for the military, and for the country. Many drugs that are taken in the US are taken by children and adolescents. A percentage of those drugs are disqualifying for military service. Some of the drugs cause side effects that cause weight gain and lethargy which are also, ultimately, disqualifying for military selection. If we don't get ourselves healthy as a Country from the youth on up, we face some serious problems. If the adults don't lead from the front, the children will fall from behind. Obesity, drug use, mental health disorders, and so many more issues plague our youth, and yet, in many ways, our military special forces represent an equal, opposite. The reverence that our Special Operators in the military are held in can make these extraordinary men and women seem virtually unattainably virtuous. In this interview with Dr. Sean, Lieutenant Colonel Heath Kern breaks down what it takes to go from every day American to American Hero, and you might be surprised what he says. Minute Breakdown: 0-10 - What's at stake? 11-20 - The joy of living a life to your calling. 21-30 - Do different branches of the military get along? 31-40 - How do you reconcile wanting to serve and not wanting to need war to do it? 41-49 - What are we going to do about health issues facing the country?

Morghan's love for sport goes well beyond weightlifting. She is a big advocate of staying active to help create positive self image and confidence. In 2018, she was a Role Model at the Youth Olympics in Buenos Aires. Being able to use her passion for weightlifting and sport has allowed her to use her platform to inspire the younger generation. She believes that if we can create a safe and fun environment in sports, its ability to teach life skills will benefit them in the future. When Morghan isn't in the gym, her love for the outdoors, yoga, meditation and cooking allows her to find a good balance in life. In this episode of Barbell Shrugged, CJ Cummings drops in to chat weightlifting, setting dozens of records, and why the USA is making a run on the global stage in the sport of weightlifting.

This weeks episode is all about how using words can make or break almost any thought or relationship. In business, this is massive, but in life -- this is paramount. It isn't everyday that we actually take the time to actually learn how to use words to persuade people mentally in a conversation. I mean, it's crazy how much more affective we can be once we harness this skill. Today's guest, Mark England, is not only a pro at this stuff, but he's so known for his talents that he was asked to give a TedX talk (which is considered one of the greatest honors in the field.) I'm pretty positive that by the end of this show, you're going to start thinking a little more before you talk. Might want to take some notes for this one :) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Show notes: http://www.shruggedcollective.com/rc-england ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ► Subscribe to Shrugged Collective's Channel Here http://bit.ly/BarbellShruggedSubscribe 📲 🎧 Listen to the audio version on the Apple Podcast App or Stitcher for Android Here- http://bit.ly/BarbellShruggedApple http://bit.ly/BarbellShruggedStitcher Shrugged Collective is a network of fitness, health and performance shows that help people achieve their physical and mental health goals.

Known simply as "House" to players, Joe Kenn's goal as the Panthers' strength and conditioning coach is to protect and produce: protect the athletes' body armor and produce athletic based results. He is entering his ninth season with Carolina. He employs a holistic and integrated philosophy in his comprehensive training plan that utilizes strength training, explosive development, high intensity interval training and performance-based nutrition. It is a structured approach that enhances players' physical attributes. An accomplished strength and conditioning coach, Kenn's program was instrumental in Carolina's recent run of success with four playoffs appearances since 2013, tied for the second-most playoff berths in the NFC over that six-year period. In that span, the Panthers recorded 58 wins, tied for the most in any six-year period in franchise history, and fifth-most in the NFL. He was instrumental in Carolina's 15-1 season in 2015 and trip to Super Bowl 50. For his efforts, Kenn was named the 2015 NFL Strength Coach of the Year in a vote by his peers.

He had shoulder pain that had him limited to the point that it was looking like changing the channel and wiping his own ass we're going to be the future of his shoulder fitness. That was unacceptable to Chris, and he followed a referral from another Active Life client all the way to being discussed as a success story on this show. Minute Breakdown: 1-10: Does it get repetitive? 11-20: What if he can't do the movements? 21-30: How to deal with multiple issues at the same time 31-40: What does breathing have to do with it? 41-50: Creating corporate wellness out of this experience 51-60: Learn how to teach people to breathe. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Show notes: http://www.shruggedcollective.com/alr-ep11 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------► Subscribe to Shrugged Collective's Channel Here http://bit.ly/BarbellShruggedSubscribe 📲 🎧 Listen to the audio version on the Apple Podcast App or Stitcher for Android Here- http://bit.ly/BarbellShruggedApple http://bit.ly/BarbellShruggedStitcher Shrugged Collective is a network of fitness, health and performance shows that help people achieve their physical and mental health goals.

For the first time ever, I am being interviewed on my own podcast. I get thousands of people who apply every year to shadow me or intern at my gym "CHALK" here in Orange County. I always say no. However, I finally had someone walk in and introduce themselves that I happen to like and I said yes for once. To give him the best experience possible and in efforts to answer any questions he may have, I had him interview me and ask whatever he wants. I said "nothing is off limits" and he absolutely killed it. Lots of great business stuff, personal stuff, and a bunch of hilarious banter. This show needed to happen for a while.

Greg is one of the first people I ever remember using Facebook ads to sell a lifestyle diet. I remember seeing them and thinking his style was a little ostentatious, but also thinking that he was kind of a genius. Hell, he was just doing something he believed in and he decided to market the hell out of himself. And you know what?? He's KILLING IT. There's a lot of negative press about him here and there, but you know what they say... "If you don't have haters, you're probably not that successful." In this podcast I try dig into the roots of where kinobody came from, I try dig a little into Greg's personal life, and we talk a little business. He's a rare guy to get on a podcast, so I'm excited for y'all to listen.

Dave Gallagher is the owner of Savage Barbell. Savage Barbell is not his full time job. Dave is a full time fire fighter in Southern California and runs Savage on his days off from the fire station. He started Savage Barbell after a very poor customer service experience at the CrossFit Games in 2014. He thought, "these people have such a great community and this is how they treat us?" He started Savage with a college buddy, who runs a web design marking company in Huntington Beach, California. They wanted to "offer a great product line that knows without its customers, we are nothing!" In this episode of Barbell Shrugged, the crew breaks into the intricacies of small business, building a clothing brand, competing against the giant in the industry, and how being a full time firefighter captain fuels the mindset and success of the company. http://savagebarbell.com/shrugged to save 25% on your first purchase.

Everyone knows Marcus as the "Functional Bodybuilding" guy, but what else do you really know about him!? I really wanted this podcast to get into some of the deeper stuff in Marcus's life. I also wanted to chat about some of his business strategies, how he built his business, and any future goals he may have. Like Lance Armstrong's famous book "it's not about the bike"... This podcast his not about functional bodybuilding. It's about Marcus and his path to success.

Imagine this… You are working out like you always do, you reach down to deadlift the barbell one more time and, bang, your back goes out. You have pain like you have never experienced before. You crawl to your phone and call your spouse and friends to come help you because the pain is so bad. What goes through your mind? . That's exactly what happened to Nicole's Active Life 1 on 1 client, Robert. Robert is a CrossFit Affiliate owner in Lakeland Florida. He owns Lift Lakeland, and it is in that gym that he found himself laid out, unable to move without intense pain. . In this podcast we talk about how Nicole helped Robert go from having fear day to day around anything that included a hip hinge, to deadlifting, and olympic lifting again. And we also discuss how that experience changed the course of Robert's career forever. . In this episode you will have the opportunity to hear how important this all was to Robert's wife. The thing about pain and injury is that too often we look at it as pain and injury to the body, and we do not consider the impact it has on the mind. In this episode, we put that concept in play. Minute Breakdown: 0-10 - "I'm scared" 11-20 - Assessment results 21-30 - A handwritten letter from the Robert's wife 31-40 - 2 month in, pain is reduced, but still no deadlifts 41-50 - Most CrossFit gyms add volume, intensity, and frequency, too fast 51-60 - Teamwork makes the dream work Work with an Active Life Coach like Nicole at activeliferx.com/shrugged Find Nicole at @nt_thecrossfitspt ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Show notes: http://www.shruggedcollective.com/alr-torres ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ► Subscribe to Shrugged Collective's Channel Here http://bit.ly/BarbellShruggedSubscribe 📲 🎧 Listen to the audio version on the Apple Podcast App or Stitcher for Android Here- http://bit.ly/BarbellShruggedApple http://bit.ly/BarbellShruggedStitcher Shrugged Collective is a network of fitness, health and performance shows that help people achieve their physical and mental health goals.

Although this mans first claim to fame came from the hit TV show the "bachelorette" he actually has his sights set on competing in CrossFit and eventually owning his own business in the fitness industry. After meeting him, working out together, and talking — there's no doubt that he's got some passion. This episode touches on a little of everything in Lukes life.

This week, Ashleigh speaks with the owner of "the world's deadliest thighs," Kortney Olson. You may have seen her viral videos, crushing watermelons between her legs and other awesome feats of strength, but there's more to Kortney than big muscles and a personality to match. Having struggled through disordered eating and addiction, it's been a long road to acceptance and perseverance for the woman who can now call herself an armwrestling champion, international bodybuilding competitor, motivational speaker, and entrepreneur (she's the founder of GRRRL clothing). We talk fitness, her explant experience, and how to re-wire our brains and our attitudes for positivity, happiness, and confidence. Oh, and watermelon-crushing, we talk about that too. Kortney is an Australian Womenʼs arm wrestling champion, Queensland state Brazilian Jiu jitsu champion, three time international bodybuilding competitor, author, TV personality, certified personal trainer and Olympic lifting and CrossFit coach. If you think youʼve seen Kortney before, itʼs probably because youʼve seen her smashing watermelons with her thighs on the Internet or TV or being described as the "woman with the world's deadliest thighs" by Stan Lee, creator of Marvel Comics; a title she holds with pride. She is also dedicated to empowering young people and women to be confident and strong and gain self-acceptance through her annual Grrrl Live events and her fast growing apparel company Grrrl. Minute Breakdown: 8 - 14 An intro to Kortney and her work 14 – 22 "Goals not controls" Tools she uses to stay on track, how to avoid feeling like you and your work is "never enough" and ways she's worked through a difficult past to find acceptance – and still working through it 22 – 29 Ashleigh asks Kortney about how we can all work to instill and encourage true confidence in women—both young ones, and grown women who have had low self-esteem for most of their lives 29 – 41 Kortney tells us about her experience with implants and her subsequent explant surgery due to severe negative reaction; this leads to a larger conversation about the way we look at women's bodies in the fitness industry specifically 41 –53 What Kortney's training currently looks like 53 – 61 How Kortney organizes her day and attempts to balance health and her many work projects 61– 1:06 How to persevere in your work despite criticism; how to avoid becoming sidetracked and crushed by other people's opinions 1:06 – 1:10 Kortney tells us what's next for her, and for us, including a watermelon-crushing strength program Visit grrrl.com and say hi on social media @kortney_olson and @grrrl_clothing Reach out to me on Instagram @themusclemaven to say hi and tell me what you thought of the podcast, head to ashleighvanhouten.com to sign up for my weekly health and fitness newsletter, and you can find me talking weekly on the internet via the Paleo Magazine Radio Podcast and as a co-host on Ben Pakulski's Muscle Intelligence podcast.

Coach Kavanaugh's unique approach to training builds on his experience as both an elite athlete and an athlete who has endured a life-changing injury. His programs build strength, flexibility, speed, and teach proper bio-mechanics to increase performance and decrease chance of injury.

I originally met Alex a few years while he was sponsored by a huge supplement brand called "SHREDZ." The company sponsored several athletes at the time and in just a short period of time and built them into super stars. It was at that time I started to ask a lot of questions and see what exactly all these people were doing that was giving them the kind of income that had people driving around in Lamborghinis and such. It was a crazy time and I'm fortunate to have known a few of the pioneers like Alex from that time. In this episode we touch on a little of what makes a solid "influencer" and how training modalities and nutrition has changed over the years. I also ask Alex to share about his own fitness and nutrition regimens that he's used over the years and what his opinions are on all of them. Lot of great chatter in this one that is sure to get you pumped for the week. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Show notes: http://www.shruggedcollective.com/rc-turner ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ► Subscribe to Shrugged Collective's Channel Here http://bit.ly/BarbellShruggedSubscribe 📲 🎧 Listen to the audio version on the Apple Podcast App or Stitcher for Android Here- http://bit.ly/BarbellShruggedApple http://bit.ly/BarbellShruggedStitcher Shrugged Collective is a network of fitness, health and performance shows that help people achieve their physical and mental health goals.
