What’s the secret to lasting friendships? How does queer community show up through the ebbs and flows of life? And what’s the REAL story behind the “YMCA” song? In the first episode of Silver Linings, The Old Gays dive into an essential part of queer life: chosen family. They discuss the vital love, support, and sense of belonging that community provides, especially during life's toughest moments. They open up about what “queer” means to them, how chosen family has impacted their lives, and how to maintain close bonds over time–including their love for each other! “We’ve come a long way, baby.” Family isn’t just what you’re born with; it’s the people who show up, shape you, and stick around.

This episode's topic is a very serious one. Dr. Nova Deighton-Smith's research looked into Fitspiration. The kind of posts that flood social media and how they can be so destructive. Leah Boepple discusses a study looking into how pro-anorexic websites can make people feel worse about themselves and research into Thinspiration websites.

In the second half of this episode Lawrence speaks to Andrea Valdez of 3DMJ who looks at this topic through the lense of being a bodybuilding coach.

Hey, SBS Radio listeners! Our brand new episode with Luke Johnson (the third part in our Personal Trainer mini-series) is dropping next week. We've finally had time to sit down and record it - apologies for it taking so long. I didn't want to leave you with another rebroadcast, so... here's an episode from our sister podcast - the De Novo Podcast. If you want to listen to the De Novo Podcast's library: Listen on iTunes Listen on Spotify In this episode, we talk to 3DMJ coach and natural bodybuilder Dr Eric Helms. Our questions to him include: Your recent YouTube series is entitled Anecdotes and Observations - when it comes to making your fitness your own, why are anecdotes and observations so important? On the topic of anecdotes - there was a fascinating discussion between you and Joe Klemczewski on Facebook recently regarding training frequency. Could you summarise that discussion for us? Recent data on periodisation have shown that maybe it's time to reconsider some of the reasons for periodising someone's training - what would you say are the main benefits to a periodised approach to training? One of the main aims of science is to test hypotheses - what was the most surprising fitness-related hypothesis that you've seen either supported or scuppered after scientific investigation? Do you have any favourite studies out of all the ones you've reviewed for MASS? What would you advise for someone looking to become more 'evidence-based' with their fitness?

Fitness Dogma - Does "Lifting Weights Faster" Count as Cardio? 1:03:28

7 years ago1:03:28

1:03:28

Our final episode in the fitness dogma series tackles powerlifting specific dogma! Chalk up, and let's go 9/9 on these. "Lower your hips" on deadlift critiques You should care about bodyweight-based strength goals Powerlifters do not need any kind of cardiovascular training. Lifting weights faster = cardio Certain exercises ccannotbe performed for higher reps. Front squats and deadlifts especially The idea that focusing on assistance stuff is (with exceptions of rare cases) should be 75% of the work out and the actual competitive movements only 15-25% People that immediately recommend 5/3/1 or 5x5 without any knowledge of a person's training history. Your total on the big 3 is the only measure of fitness that really matters. If you've not left us a review or rating yet, we'd really love it if you did.

Episode number 2 in our Fitness Dogma mini-series, and we move onto general training dogma! In this semi-bumper episode, we examine the following statements: You should only deadlift once or twice per week, max. You shouldn't train two days running. Bro splits are the best way to train. Every person should train particular movements. Hip hinge movements are magical. Cardio is ONLY for fat loss. Squats and deadlifts are all you need for your core training. If your form isn't PERFECT you need to go back to an empty bar and learn how to move. Your knees shouldn't go past your toes when squatting.

(BONUS EPISODE) The De Novo Podcast: Bryce Lewis - The Thinking Man's Athlete 44:29

7 years ago44:29

44:29

In this special bonus episode, I introduce you to our brand new podcast - the De Novo Podcast, from De Novo Supplements. Enjoy! You do a bunch of "pondering" about your approach to lifting, and also others' approaches to lifting as a coach. What first sparked your current interest in sports psychology? Let's talk a little bit about biases and cognitive dissonance. Can you talk a little bit about what they are, and why they're generally considered (esp. in the case of cognitive dissonance) to be negative? Are there any instances for an athlete that biases and CD might have a net positive effect? What have been the most impactful lessons you've learnt in your research and also practice as a coach? I've observed that athletes can fall into one of two camps - the 'shut up and lift' camp, and the 'overanalyzer' camp. How does your coaching approach differ for these two types? How important do you think self-talk and the exact semantics/wording you use in your self-talk are? Are you implementing anything new in your Arnold prep right now? Bryce and TSA are coming to the UK and Ireland for a seminar tour from March 31st - April 8th. Check out http://thestrengthathlete.com/tsa-seminars/ for more information! About Bryce Bryce Lewis is a competitive, drug-free elite powerlifter in the 83-105kg weight classes. He holds records in both the USA Powerlifting federation (USAPL) and International Powerlifting Federation (IPF), and strives to promote the comprehension and love of powerlifting training throughout the world. Through his success as an elite lifter, Bryce’s dream is to pass on his knowledge and skills through The Strength Athlete (TSA) powerlifting coaching services online in addition to his YouTube Channel and Facebook fan page . By these efforts, Bryce hopes to help raw, drug-free powerlifting gain more prominence and acceptance internationally. Under 3D Muscle Journey (3DMJ) Coach, Eric Helms, Bryce was introduced to powerlifting, following a collegiate and high school passion for volleyball and a five year period competing in natural bodybuilding. He immediately fell in love with the newfound sport. Lifting heavy was always fun, but powerlifting allowed him to express his desires for competition, application of advanced strength training techniques, and achievements through measured progress. Even now, Bryce remains an integral part of Team 3DMJ and has adapted their principles of dedication, desire, and discipline as his own. In addition to training services, Eric also mentors Bryce through an ongoing 3DMJ internship. Present In addition to his successful career as an athlete, Bryce has always strived for academic and intellectual attainment. He graduated from University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) in 2010 with a Bachelors of Arts degree in Philosophy. Currently, he plans to continue coaching athletes from around the world through TSA, and help more athletes develop the tools for success. Bryce passionately advocates for the application and love of the sciences, evidence-based philosophies, and skepticism of pseudoscience. In his spare time, he explores a variety of art forms from pencil and pen drawings to graphic design to culinary arts in the kitchen. Bryce resides in Fort Collins, Colorado with his chocolate labrador, Sequoia. After winning USAPL Raw Nationals two years in a row, Bryce heads to IPF World Championships in Calgary, Canada in 2018.…

Were there any unexpected surprises during the month? Did you find the vegan month affected your hormonal cycle?

My Life With Anorexia 1:48:23

8 years ago1:48:23

1:48:23

Welcome to this week’s SBS Radio episode - My Life With Anorexia. A report in 2015 estimated that more than 725,000 people in the UK are affected by an eating disorder, with roughly 75-90% of those being female. BEAT, a UK-based eating disorder charity, estimates that of those with eating disorders, 10% were anorexic , 40% were bulimic and the rest fall into the EDNOS category which included BED . Concrete statistics are hard to come by - but what is clear is that eating disorders can be devastating, are on the rise, and are still not very well-understood. Whilst this podcast episode is by no means going to be a comprehensive guide to anorexia, I wanted to have an open, candid discussion with a couple of people regarding their experiences with anorexia and other eating disorders. First, we have Polly Hale of the Fit Mum Formula, who was hospitalised 3 times between the ages of 18 and 22 due to her anorexia. In the second half of the podcast we’ll hear from Matt Stranberg, a registered dietitian and strength and conditioning specialist who currently is working with the Walden GOALS programme, who treat competitive athletes experiencing disordered eating behaviours. I just wanted to thank her for being so candid and open with me. What you’re about to hear covers a particularly painful part of Polly’s life - so her willingness to discuss it on record doesn’t go unnoticed. More about Polly: http://www.thefitmumformula.com/ More about Matt: https://www.waldeneatingdisorders.com/an-interview-with-goals-program-lead-nutritionist-and-exercise-science-advisor-matthew-stranberg/ Walden Behavioral Care and the Athlete Specific GOALS team: https://www.waldeneatingdisorders.com/treatment-programs/specialized-eating-disorder-treatment-programs/goals-intensive-outpatient-program-for-competitive-athletes/ Another interview regarding trainers and helping clients: https://www.jessihaggerty.com/blog/screenandrefer Eating Disorder Organisations MEDA (US): http://www.medainc.org/ NEDA (US): https://www.nationaleatingdisorders.org/ BEAT (UK): https://www.beateatingdisorders.org.uk/ If you’d like to reach out to Matt directly, you can email him at MStranberg@WaldenBehavioralCare.com and you can also download a guide for athletes and eating disorders.
