MAK Fitness
Australia's #1 in health & fitness. We bring you some of the industries best minds to discuss interests, fitness, mindset and more.
This episode is focused on the now. Throughout Australia right now, we have some gyms open, some gyms not. Some legends have made it back to their old stomping ground, only to be disappointed with a lack of results now that gyms are reopened. Others, are still cooped up away from their safe haven of weights and have lost all motivation to keep up the progress at home.
Regardless, we have an overarching difficulty in gaining motivation and enthusiasm to get back into the gym. And in this episode of Pimp My Lift, hosted by MAK Legend Hayley Whatman, we begin touching on the mentality and how programming can influence motivation heading back to the gym.
This Podcast Covers:
-
6 Exercises for progress
-
Optimal Frequency For Using Those Exercises
-
General Reps / Sets For Those Exercises
-
Revamping Programming To Be Effective
-
Overcoming the technical non-useful advanced programs

Knowledge to apply for those training at home or the gym to provide clarity on making time and training effective
Enjoy legends!
There is so much that goes into creating a training program that actually works, so many variables that are above just stringing together a list of movements and executing them with intensity. BUT. Regardless of what program you’re following there is a few fundamentals you need to understand.
You need to know what you’re doing. What the movement is, what it takes to execute it correctly, and what muscles you are targeting with that exercise. You need to understand why that exercise is effective for you and your goals, and why it is a choice that is better, when opposed to others. And you need to understand how to implement, how to execute, and how to progress that movement.
In this episode of #PimpMyLift with MAK athlete and legend, Hayley Whatman, we will debunk some of the considerations to keep in mind when you’re thinking about how you’re going to train. Plus, of course, along the way you’ll learn a multitude of lift pimps and hacks - that will inevitably, make you a stronger, leaner and greater athlete. Get Ready to Pimp Your Lift legends!

Struggling to get your routine back on track? You're not alone!
On the next installment of the Get It Off Ya Chest segment within our #PrepBrain series, legend and host Kyle Webber is joined by an anonymous guest joins in to discuss some current issues with routine and motivation. We share some insights into why 'popular' motivational practices don't work, while Kyle helps to uncover a new intrinsic drive that will help propel you forward.
Is something weighing you down?-Sometimes it feels like we're isolated - in our homes and IN OUR HEADS. One of the best things we can do (before looking for a solution), is talking about our problems. This series is for anyone who struggles in silence. No fear. No judgement. No names. This is as real as it gets! And that, is what Get If Off Ya Chest is all about.
Have you ever struggled to articulate your problems? Leading the fitness lifestyle can often come with a variety of complex, psychological issues that creep up when you least expect. As an introduction to this new series, special guest Matt Orchard joins Kyle as they discuss their own mental struggles through fitness (not just competing) and how those struggles impacted other aspects of their lives.
The boys also talk about some 'unspoken' realities of becoming a father, and finding a higher purpose for motivation.

One of the best things we can do (before looking for a solution), is talking about our problems. This series is for anyone who struggles in silence. I'm inviting guests to join me (completely anonymous) and provide them with a safe space to be courageous in sharing their thoughts. No fear. No judgement. No names. This is as real as it gets!
Through business, through fitness, through life, and through relationships - we feel there is a pretty common theme that too often, we put ourselves under so much pressure to do more, to be more, and to achieve more. And in the end, we feel like we always fall just slightly short, and consequently: are not enough.
This is a TOUGH mental barrier to break! Being enough, being proud of yourself, and being okay with who you are and where you're at is a huge factor in mental strength and mental wellbeing. We know from personal experience just how many trial and error methods it's taken to rebuild that ability to "Feel like Enough".
In this short episode of #PrepBrain, our legend Kyle Webber takes us through his strategies and theories that have been built up over time, through his personal experiences, as a pretty effective method to help you become 'okay' with who you are and where you are, and FEEL LIKE ENOUGH. Insightful, helpful, and undoubtedly relatable - we think this is an episode everyone needs to hear (not just the fitness world!)
The health and fitness industry is saturated with "experts" around nutrition - who really, give opinions, and quick fixes, not proven science and strategies.
We are calling BS on some claims, shedding some light on all the tricks and gimmicks that happen within the industry, and putting a firm disclaimer out there about who to trust and who not to trust. And that is why we call this episode, the self-proclaimed "Online Nutrition Coach" police.
In this episode of #PrepBrain, our legend and host, Kyle Webber, is joined by Sports Nutrition Australia president, Alex Thomas, to discuss the current state of the nutrition coaching industry and the boys provide insight on how to not get sued for malpractice (yes, it happens!).
The level of stress you have on the day can make or break your physique. Learn how to keep yourself happy on comp day!
Stepping on stage for many, beginners and veterans to the platform alike, is nerve-racking. There are so many factors that go into both how well you can pull off what you've worked for when you physically step on that stage, and how much you'll enjoy the process and reap the rewards for your hard work that you so well deserve. Your stress is a major factor in both of those aspects.
Through this insightful episode of #PrepBrain, our legend and host Kyle Webber, will take you through his expert opinion and suggestions about how best to manage yourself over the course of comp day. And thus, how to make sure that show day is one that makes you happy, proud, satisfied, and is undeniably worth it.
Getting ready for your first show? Here's everything you need to know to ease your nerves and make your first experience enjoyable!
The battles and struggles of the first time going through a comp prepare undeniably. You’re in uncharted territory, you don’t know what feels good or what feels normal, and you've yet to discover how your body works, reacts, and plays its own game.
But it’s not all bad, nor is it out of your control. Competing can and will be one of the most fulfilling, motivating, eye-opening and enjoyable experiences of your life, and we would love to help you enjoy it: for real! So here’s a podcast put together by a coach, who has seen many go through that stage before, to help you arm yourself for a positive experience, a prep that builds you rather than breaks you, and a prep you’ll never want to forget.
Discipline delves deeper than just doing the things you WANT to do. Understand the difference between discipline and punishment.
Within this episode of #PrepBrain, led by legend and host Kyle Webber, we discuss the difference between the two, what that means, now its relevant, and how you can utilise that information to make yourself a better athlete, a more long-term athlete, and a healthier and happier human overall!
Unhappiness is a really tough hole to dig yourself out of. You can be the strongest, thickest-skinned, most successful, and most fortunate person, to just really an average life - and you can still suffer from just that: a lack of happiness, long term. And guess what! Dieting, and gym routine, are pretty closely interlinked with that!
Everyone deserves their life to be full, fulfilling and euphoric - you deserve to find real and genuine happiness. But that happiness definitely comes from inside, and there are methods to achieve that, and prevent yourself from falling into an endless loop of sadness.
In this episode of #PrepBrain, our legend and host, Kyle Webber, discusses his experiences with mental health, and his methods of getting yourself out of that hole. But in particular, he talks about how to get your diet and your training working with (not against) you and how to deter them from being a cause of endless misery.
As blokes, sometimes we struggle to speak up. We like to carry all the weight on our shoulders. We get a sense of pride and strength in doing so, and we want to support everyone close to us, especially our family. Sometimes the weight gets damn heavy (and we sure as hell don't like the feeling of not being able to lift it!) To get stronger though, often we go about it the wrong way. We let our insecure feeling of weakness take over. If we haven't learned how to pick up on and deal with this, it can cause us to lash out in a childlike way as we don't know how to handle the emotion. In doing so; we feel like failures as men, fathers, husbands and leaders.
On this new podcast, MAK legend and host of the #PrepBrain Series, Kyle Webber, goes deep with another special anonymous guest and discuss the best ways to handle yourself when you're in a deep pit, facing the prospect of losing business, loved ones, children and more.
