This has to be one of my favourite podcasts ever dispelling many fitness fallacies with Ben Cokayne Carpenter, yeah that's his middle name.

Today we're joined by Lord Lucy and Kiran Dartel 

In this episode I explain the differences between exercising and training whilst also addressing the elephant in the room that being skinner does not mean sexier.

Today's guest DIREN KARTAL creator of #NEATUP247

One of my more difficult podcasts to speak about the issues we face in mental health. The reason for this was to be honest a big part of the grieving process for me of a team mate and friend who took their life last week.

I want to show people that it's ok to speak up about it and I think it needs to be done more, so here's episode 13, enjoy.

James

In this episode I talk about some concepts and biases that are omnipresent not just in general life but in the fitness industry too. 

I've released this one as an early episode - I don't expect you to take it all in at once, take your time listening to it.

Today I talk about the details of why I believe resistance training trumps all in the world of fitness

Today I explain about the fundamental pillars often not spoken about for life, let alone dieting.

Today I speak about what I consider to be hugely wrong in what we perceive we should aspire to look like in fitness.

Today Sonny and I talk about a shocking twist in the progression of his existing weightlifting ban imposed by UKAD

In this episode I talk in depth about how it's easily plausible to get a client to lose 17.5lbs in 3 weeks eating cookies every day and without one single visit to the gym. 

In this episode I discuss female physiology and talk about why it's important for females, coaches and men all to understand different stages in the menstrual cycle and how it affects training in the gym and fat loss efforts.

In this episode I speak freely about the negative impact social media influencers are having on younger generations and those struggling with being overweight.

I give my no holds barred opinion on what we can do to prevent it doing more damage to our society and I'm sure the whole of Essex will not be happy either.

In this podcast I talk about how I've gone from getting arrested at 13, kicked out of school at 15 and working in door to door sales at 20 all the way to being CEO of a multi million dollar fitness business before 30.
