  • Paul Oneid (@pauloneid) is the Founder and Head Coach at Master Athletic Performance. He is a Coach, Educator, Mentor and Athlete with a single goal - to raise the bar for online coaching. He holds Master of Science Degrees in both Exercise Science and Sports Management and is a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist, Certified Exercise Physiologist and Certified Olympic Weightlifting Coach with 18 years’ experience as a Strength and Conditioning Coach in varying capacities from youth to collegiate and professional athletics.

    Several months ago, Paul unfortunately tore both of his quads while competing and falling during a squat. Goes without saying, but that is a pretty terrible injury. Paul took to his rehab aggressively and like a professional. Full effort, using all available tools and tactics and getting in touch with the best people possible.

    We spoke about all the things Paul has done to heal from his injuries incredibly quickly and incredibly well. He also speaks about the general journey and all of the other not so glamorous things that come with a traumatic injury, and why this is all such a good reminder to care about your body and your health deeply.

    All of the things that Paul has done are applicable in a wide range of circumstances but also differently applicable based on your and your situation. Regardless, there is certainly something you can pick up that will help you, or someone you know.

    Dr. Sarah and I had some major tech issues recording this, so thanks for putting up with it. But the conversation was good we had to power through.

    Dr. Sarah shares her story over the many years, and ups and downs of her own struggles with weight, health and nutrition. It lays a powerful foundation for the rest of the conversation, explaining how Nutrivore came to be.

    Dr. Sarah and I discuss some of the aspects of diet culture that we can certainly do away with - and what to replace them with. Of course, in a way that is healthy and sustainable. Dr. Sarah also gives some phenomenal super tactical tips on cooking, meal prepping and setting up your lifestyle for success that are game changers.

    It was a very interesting conversation and I hope you learn and enjoy it as much as I did.

  • Brianna Houston (@briannahouston.co) is a coach with over 40, 000 of experience across every population. Athletes, elderly, corporate, performance, sports, rehabilitation, and pre/post natal populations are all people Brianna has trained and excelled with. She now mainly focuses on clients in the pre and post natal seasons of life, &beyond.

    Well this was a conversation definitely out of my wheelhouse! I hope you learned as much as I did from having this conversation. Brianna is clearly and incredible coach and cares so deeply about her clients and is so knowledgeable about all of the interplay in regards to anything to do with pregnancy and health.

    In the episode we discuss all of the training considerations for anyone who is attempting to become pregnant, or is currently pregnant. Also, some other women’s health considerations, which are all intertwined.

    Brianna gives all the do’s and don’ts, as well as helping you to understand how to think about these things, and things that you must pay attention to, especially considering your pelvic floor health.

    It feels to me like all of this should be much more common knowledge. I mean, even in my education, we were not taught this. If you know someone who is currently pregnant, or planning to get pregnant soon, send them this episode.

    To keep up with everything Brianna has going on, follow her on IG and check out her website.

  • Chris Colucci (@chriscolucci.ny) is a fitness writer and editor who’s been in the game for over 20 years. From training everyday fitness enthusiasts, to competitive athletes, interviewing fitness legends and writing for some of the biggest publications to educate the masses, he’s done it all.

    With all this experience, it’s easy to draw a conclusion that one of the biggest barriers to fitness is time. This is probably no surprise to you. And yet, we see people who still think they need to spend 2 hours a day in the gym to get great results. This couldn’t be further from the truth.

    Chris and I discuss some of the best ways to make your training as efficient as possible. Keeping you in the gym no longer than necessary, while also ensuring that you’re having extremely effective workouts to build muscle, get strong, and lose some body fat. Efficiency really is the name of the game when trying to fit fitness into your life.

    Along with this is nutrition. Chris shares the ultimate tip that solves the vast majority of nutrition issues. And it’s way simpler than you think. And it’s not some gimmick. It just coincidentally solves a ton of problems at once.

  • Andrew Coates (@andrewcoatesfitness) is a personal trainer, writer, speaker, and the unofficial mayor of fitness. He trains clients both online and in-person, and is the host of the Lift Free and Diet Hard Podcast.

    Andrew is one of the best ambassadors for fitness today. His ability to connect people is unmatched, and a significant amount of people have ended up as guests on this podcast either directly or indirectly via Andrew.

    But in this chat, instead of talking about industry stuff, we chatted about perhaps the largest silent barrier to fitness - your personal identity and relationship with fitness.

    The people who make a healthy lifestyle “look easy” adopt the identity of a fit person. Eventually, it is no longer a chore to eat healthy, exercise, drink plenty of water etc - it’s just who you are and what you do. But this doesn’t happen by accident.

    And often, people subconsciously sabotage themselves into making this impossible.

    So this discussion is focused on how to embody this lifestyle. The actual steps, tools and tactics to employ to slowly change your own beliefs about yourself to identify as a fit person. Powerful stuff, enjoy!

    To keep up with Andrew, follow him IG, check out his website, and listen to his podcast on Apple or Spotify.

  • Brandon Mancine (@bmfcoach) is an online trainer who focuses on helping people build resilience and become more anti-fragile. Brandon’s simple message of “get strong and do stuff” really speaks volumes.

    7 years ago Brandon was unfortunately in a terrible car accident and was badly injured. He was told he would never be able to do many of the things he enjoyed doing. However, through his resilience and knowledge of training, he was back squatting over 400lbs in no time. For this, he’s been dubbed the “Real Life Wolverine”.

    We talk a lot in the episode about this resilience and what it’s like to come back from terrible injuries. And maybe most importantly, why you should seriously prioritize your training and getting strong so that you are physically as resilient as possible should anything ever happen to you.

    We also spoke a lot about making fitness part of your life, and this goes hand-in-hand. Our current environment is set up so that we are weak, sick, and overweight. You need to consciously cultivate the opposite.

    Brandon will be at the Silverback Summit in Phoenix Arizona Nov 15-16. Get $200 off your ticket with code “ALIG200”

    Brandon also owns HairXT, which offers natural products to increase hair growth for both men and women. Code “HXT20” gets you 20%.

  • Rick Olderman (rickolderman.com) is a licensed physical therapist, author, and creator of the Fixing You Method. His latest book is titled “Pain Patterns: Why You Are In Pain and How To Stop It” and is now available on Amazon.

    Rick has a much different, (and a much more comprehensive) approach to healing injuries than most. This is all laid out in detail in Rick’s latest book, and it’s what we chatted about in this episode.

    The three main pillars are the connection between movement, fascia and reflexes in pain and how these all contribute to creating, and healing injuries. Functional linking is the connection between all your past injuries and poor movement patterns and your current pain. And lastly the connection between psychological trauma or stress and pain.

    All of this combined contributes to pain in various ways. Understanding it allows you to identify it, and then work to correct or improve it to ultimately help you get out of pain and back to living your best life as soon as possible.

    If you’ve ever been injured, or experience chronic pain, this episode is for you.

  • The Winter Arc, a little corny, but if it gets you fired up then let it rip. Things in life change as the seasons change - more or fewer social outings, and just general attitude around life overall. And you can spin each of these seasons as positive or negative for your fitness.

    Winter can feel like a time to just stay in, eat a ton of good food, and not really worry about your fitness until Spring.

    OR

    It can be a time to lock in, and use the isolation of Winter to your advantage. To be disciplined in training and nutrition. To test yourself to work harder when maybe others aren’t. And eventually be way ahead of where you are now.

    To each their own. But if you’re looking to get on this “Winter Arc”, then this episode contains everything you need from a fitness perspective to really dial things in this Winter and come out the other side in your best shape ever.

    If you want in on this, send me a DM on IG and I will put together an accountability group for as many people want to join in. We can all work together and lift each other up when you need it.

    Let’s get it.

He’s a deep thinker and has a huge heart. He leads by example with his own fitness and self-improvement and leads others towards the same healthy lifestyle.

    This episode was eye opening. Max helped me realize something I’ve personally been thinking about for almost 2 years. There are so many connections to fitness and life and mental health that it’s no longer possible to separate these things, and this is exactly what we spoke about in this chat.

    We also spoke about body dysmorphia, addiction, neurodivergence and how all of this is tied to mental health and fitness and everything in between.

    Sit down, settle in, and enjoy, because you’re about to learn a few things that might change your life.

  • Dane Palarino (@dadbod_sculptors) is a driven entrepreneur, sponsored athlete, and the visionary behind Dad Bod Sculptors. After hitting rock bottom in his early 40s, despite his career success, Dane embarked on a transformative health journey that saw him shed over 30% body fat and regain control over his life.

    Dane now dedicates his life to helping men over 35 conquer the challenges of aging, balance the demands of family and work, and achieve peak physical condition. His mission is to guide men through their own transformations, empowering them to reclaim their health, confidence, and become the heroes their wives, kids, and families need them to be.

    The “Dad Bod” is not just about how you look. It’s about how you feel, how you perform, and how you show up for the most important people in your life. It’s ok to love yourself as you are, but part of that should also constantly be trying to improve yourself in all aspects.

    Dane’s been through it and now he’s helping others get through it as well. It starts with fitness but it is about SO much more than fitness. Fitness is simply the gateway to improving every other aspect of your life.

    There is an absolute ton to take from this episode, and it should have you fired up to take action and make big changes in your life. I hope you do.

  • I turned 30 over the weekend! Getting old, or just getting started? All a matter of perspective…

    I sat down to reflect, as one does, and came up with a list of 30 things I’ve learned related to fitness and beyond.

    The entire premise of this podcast is that fitness lessons are synonymous with life lessons, and this episode is a great embodiment of that. As I go through each of them, they are all interrelated and relevant in the gym, and in many areas of life.

    It’s a great exercise to reflect on things you’ve learned and even better to then share them with others. That’s what it’s all about. I hope you enjoy this as much as I did.

  • Semaj Hunter (@semajhunterfitness) is an online fitness & nutrition coach, father, family man, and a person who genuinely loves helping others. He mainly works with general population clients and bases his coaching on sustainability, and finding the right solution for each individual.

    *we had some slight connection issues during recording causing some lag, so if you notice some strange pauses, that’s what happened*

    Semaj is a thinker. It’s very obvious that he’s been a coach for a long time and helped so many people because he has such a broad perspective, yet is also able to distill concepts down to their simplest forms. Which is actually a great reflection of the central theme of this conversation: decisions.

    Every day we are faced with hundreds or thousands of decisions. Each one moving us slightly further or closer to our goals. But every decision has pros and cons, and every decision that moves us further from our goals, isn’t necessarily a bad thing - and in the long run may even be the thing that moves us closer.

    Semaj and I speak at length about how to evaluate information and options in order to make smart choices. Choices that aren’t always easy or obvious. But choices that you’ll look back on and be thankful for.

    I really believe you’ll want to listen to this episode several times, and keep it saved to revisit as needed. Semaj is a phenomenal coach, and an amazing person to learn from.

  • Patrick DiBello (@patrickdibellofitness) is an online fitness coach and hybrid athlete. He’s learned from and trained under some of the absolute best coaches in the world and has since been giving it back to everyone who wants to build strength, endurance and mobility while living a healthy lifestyle.

    A hybrid athlete is certainly a bit of a recent buzzword, but it refers to a person who is training to be very strong in the gym, and also have elite levels of endurance. Two things that are typically separated - you’re either a strong dude, or run marathons, but not both. Patrick does both. We spoke a lot about how he organizes his training and his life in general to accomplish this, and how you can begin to implement it.

    Patrick has also trained extensively in calisthenics, or bodyweight exercises. There’s a misconception that since it’s “just” bodyweight, it’s somehow easier. This couldn’t be further from the truth. Many calisthenics exercises are extremely advanced and difficult to even attempt. Patrick gives an incredible lesson on how to start and progress with your calisthenics training from wherever you’re at.

    There’s a ton to learn from Patrick and I feel this episode only scratched the surface. Definitely follow him on IG to keep up and keep learning more, and send this episode to a friend to spread the love.

  • Before anything - at the very end of the episode I badly misspoke and said that lean bulking is a bad idea. Of course this was a mistake and I mean to say dirty bulking. But this is a 1 take show and a 1 man team so I wasn’t about to re-record the whole thing for that small mistake, onwards!

    I know it’s tempting to want to get as big as possible, eat as much as you can, have little regard for body fat, and really see how big and strong you can get - but I highly suggest you avoid this.

    Eventually, you’ll want to stop and lean out again, and then this is where you’ll want to spend most of your time thereafter. It would be much healthier, and overall more effective if you just stay lean and slowly bulk up over a longer period of time.

    The 5 mins of happiness you get from hitting an all time high weight and strength is not worth putting on the necessary body fat to do this. I spoke about my recent experience with this, why I did it, what I regret about it, and what I would do instead.

    At the end of the day, I hope you learn from my mistakes and avoid this trap, ultimately leading to greater success in your own health and fitness.

  • Asad Sayal (@asadwuzhere) is a personal trainer and strength coach located in Toronto, Canada. Asad works with clients to make them stronger, happier, and more resilient in their body and in their life.

    Asad and I met at a few seminars in Toronto and it was quickly obvious that he’s one of the trainers who really knows his stuff, and communicates it well. During the conversation we found that we also have similar philosophies on training and life and all that all intertwines, which is really what it’s all about.

    In this episode we discussed some of those training and life philosophies, and also some thoughts on the fitness industry as a whole. Most importantly we spoke about some detailed training information.

    “Tempo training” may be something you’ve heard of, but if you’re unfamiliar with what it is or how to use it to your benefit, this is the episode for you. We discussed all you need to know about how to implement, when and how to do so, and why you should be using this.

    It’s not an exaggeration that this episode may change how you train forever, for the better. So listen closely. To get in touch with Asad or ask any questions, follow him on IG.
