Ep 89: Reclaiming Awareness of the Lower Abdominal Wall and Pelvis

Ep 92: When Functional Training Meets Functional Engineering

In this episode, we dive into the shared philosophy behind designing workouts and designing gear. Identifying real problems, understanding the root cause, and building solutions that actually hold up. Josh Sprague, founder of Orange Mud [https://www.orangemud.com/?srsltid=AfmBOorVQHWFGICRuT24oxQ-UWXeOAdFjtH8n9DVVe4ObLlk66CRRPkz] and Seven Clay, joins The Jamin Show to break down what it really means to build for function and not trends. We talk about “innovation from frustration,” why most fitness and gear industries get it wrong, and how both bad movement and bad equipment can limit performance. This isn’t just about training or products, it’s about thinking differently. If you care about moving better, performing better, and solving the real problems holding you back, this episode is for you.

Ep 91: You Are More at Risk Being Weak

In this episode, I break down why being weak is not safe, it actually puts you more at risk. A lot of people think strength is only about looks, lifting heavy, or being extreme, but real strength is about protection, resilience, health, and being able to handle life. I talk about why weakness can lead to more fragility, more injury risk, lower confidence, and a lower quality of life, and why building strength is one of the smartest things you can do for your long-term health. This episode is about shifting your mindset. Strength is not optional, and weakness is not something to glorify.

Ep 90: How To Actually Do a Pull-Up (Without Bands)

Most people try to learn pull-ups using bands, but that often skips the real foundation of the movement. In this episode, I break down a smarter way to build your first pull-up by focusing on hanging strength, scapular control, reverse reps, and proper body tension. I also discuss how weighted hangs can improve grip strength and make your bodyweight feel lighter at the bar. If you want to earn your first strict pull-up or clean up the ones you're already doing this episode will show you how to build it step by step.

Ep 89: Reclaiming Awareness of the Lower Abdominal Wall and Pelvis

Most people think their abs stop at their belly button. They don’t. In this episode, I break down why the lower portion of your abdominal wall, is one of the most overlooked areas in core training and your entire body. This isn’t about chasing “lower abs” or doing endless leg raises. It’s about awareness, coordination, and how your abdominal wall works with your pelvis to manage pressure and support your spine. I explain: * Why many people feel tight in their low back or hips despite training hard * How over-bracing and rib-dominant tension create imbalance * Why motor control matters more than muscle size * How the nervous system changes the way your body distributes load When you reclaim awareness of the lower abdominal wall and pelvis, you don’t just improve your abs, you improve how your spine meets your hips, how you breathe under load, and how your body organizes during movement. This is not about getting tighter. It’s about getting smarter. If you’ve ever felt “strong but unstable,” this episode is for you.

Ep 88: The Highest-ROI Biohack for Focus, Energy & Longevity w. Regan Archibald

In this episode, I’m joined by Regan Archibald. Longevity expert, functional medicine practitioner, and co-founder of Founders Fuel. [https://foundersfuel.co/] Regan works with high-performing entrepreneurs, executives, and leaders who are mentally “on” all the time and often paying the price with burnout, brain fog, and declining performance. We break down what actually matters when it comes to biohacking, anti-aging, and sustaining long-term focus and energy. We talk about Regan’s journey into functional and integrative medicine, the patterns he sees most often in high achievers, and why so many people chase trends instead of fixing the real bottlenecks. We also dive into peptides. Separating hype from reality and discuss who they’re actually for (and who should hold off). Finally, we explore the highest-ROI biohacking strategy Regan believes most people should focus on first, and how that philosophy led to the creation of Founders Fuel [https://foundersfuel.co/]a cognitive performance supplement designed to support clarity, resilience, and sustained mental performance without burning out the system. If you’re someone who trains hard, works hard, and wants to perform at a high level without running yourself into the ground, this episode is for you.
