Description

In this episode, we discuss how most gym gains happen when you ditch ego lifting and focus on proper technique. If you're guilty of lifting too heavy, rushing reps, or using momentum to cheat through sets, this episode is your wake-up call.  We break down how ego-driven lifts sabotage long-term progress and risk your joints for short-term bragging rights.  Discover the importance of warm-up sets, proper control, and realistic strength expectations - essentials for sustained gains and injury prevention. With honesty, humor, and expert advice, we empower you to lift smarter, stay injury-free, and build confidence from solid foundations. Stop proving and start improving.

Episode 63: FMG, Fever & Finally Hired

In this episode we get into the whirlwind of recent events and experiences. This one is a bit of a mix -  We start with a personal story about dealing with unexpected health issues at home, which leads to a broader discussion about balancing family responsibilities and personal commitments.  We then shift gears to talk about a recent trip to the Gold Coast, where Ella navigated the challenges of attending events and managing work commitments simultaneously. The conversation also touches on the excitement and unpredictability of fitness competitions, highlighting the dedication and preparation involved.  Throughout the episode, we share candid reflections on the ups and downs of our journeys, offering listeners a relatable and engaging narrative.

Episode 61: Introducing EPOQ

After 18 years in corporate change management and competing professionally while working full time, I've spent a lot of time thinking about what it actually takes to perform, not just in sport, but in life. In this episode I'm sharing something I've been quietly building: EPOQ, a performance operating system for senior corporate professionals who are done blaming their discipline and ready to look at their conditions instead. We talk about why the usual fitness and wellness approaches fail executives, what corporate wellness programs are actually getting wrong, and why the goal was never the transformation, it's designing the conditions where transformation becomes inevitable. If any of this resonates, the best place to start is the free five-minute diagnostic in the link below.
