We dive headfirst into a lively discussion about our favorite supplements, effective training routines, and the amusing struggles of moving a massive 400-pound sandbag. From personal stories of battling extreme weather to the laugh-out-loud antics of our pets, we keep it real and relatable.
Listen as we explore the critical importance of grip strength, strategies to avoid overtraining, and the mental fortitude required in both martial arts and daily life. Drawing insights from fitness expert Elliot Hulse, we share gritty details on balancing intense workouts and recovery, ensuring you stay injury-free while pushing your limits.
Craving some honest talk about food and fitness? We get candid about our battles with sugar cravings, the dark side of bodybuilding, and the unhealthy extremes of performance-enhancing drugs. Reflecting on our own experiences, we contrast the aesthetics-driven world of bodybuilding with the functional, sustainable practices of jiu-jitsu. We celebrate the value of training partners, the lessons learned from embracing vulnerability, and the mental and physical resilience developed through rigorous training. Don't miss our plans for the upcoming mini-documentary on Tom preparing for the Natural World's Strongest Man competition - it's a journey you won't want to miss.
