Andy and Robi drivel about the difference between discipline and motivation, Andy drops 60 seconds of pure gold, froth over Nedd again, and discuss their favourite breakfast foods.
Andy and Robi dribble (Robi literally dribbles) about how to do a recovery week, which recovery methods they recommend, some supplements, and also... How bloody good is Nedd!
Bit of a change this week, the boys discuss their favourite beers, Andy complains about Sydney roads, and they share their favourite training songs.
Andy and Robi Dribble about their endurance training for Ironman and Half-Ironmans, some gym etiquette faux pas, and make a Better Blokes PSA
Andy and Robi ramble about how to fuel for performance, the car analogy, why we should see food as fuel, not as something to burn, exercise and training should be about improving yourself, not decreasing the amount of space you take up, and how if you work towards a goal, typically nutrition comes into line.
Andy and Robi Jibber Jabber about the importance of doing hard stuff, stuff that makes you uncomfortable, and finidng comfort in that discomfort. They also discuss their idols such as Ross Edgley, Johny Payne, and the king Nedd Brockman (check out his record run). Also did you know they're doing an Ironman? (or half in Andy's case).
Andy and Robi dribble about how Andy is training to be half the man Robi is, how they are now both triathlon "experts", the importance of setting a goal, and how to set a goal.
Andy and Robi prattle about putting yourself first by making sure you get in the gym, how the gym is about more than burning calories, how good it is to see people training for strength, and Andy's favourite Kombucha flavour.
Andy and Robi ramble about how to make changing your habits and routines the first step in your fitness journey. Think less Beastmode and more Leastmode, getting a good sleep in, developing some morning and evening routines.
Basically how we can do better outside the gym to get more out of what we do inside the gym!
Welcome to the Better Blokes Podcast - how to be less of a shit c*nt
We are Andy and Robi.
And we are just 2 blokes, coming from different backgrounds, with different stories
And our goal is to figure out how to be, well, better blokes, and hopefully less of a shit c*nt We both recognise that we have lots of room for improvement and self development, and we are looking to discuss, research, and find out a little bit more about some topics and areas that we think we can improve in And if you guys learn something along the way that’s a nice little bonus. We aren’t trying to be super high performing, masters of being a human, but if we can just be slightly better blokes, day by day, that’s a success.
