NOT born this way - The official podcast of the Iron Legion Strength Co. and NOT Born This Way brand apparel.

Episode 243- Ambition over ego.

“Do you want to know or do you just want people to think you know?” Too often our ego gets in the way of us getting better. We are more concerned with what people think we know than we are with actually learning more. We’ll need to put the ego aside and be vulnerable if we want to get better.

Episode 242- Helplessness.

Helplessness. I despise it. I hate when I feel that way and it seriously bothers me when I see others acting that way. Let’s not allow helplessness to be a thing anymore.

Episode 241- "Kittenball" and the importance of a single-minded approach to your goals.

Focus is everything. Pursuing too many goals at once leads to a doing shitty job at all of them.

Episode 240- Thinking for a change.

How many times are we dissatisfied with a certain area of our life and yet we spend virtually no time actually thinking about it? We spend more time thinking about what to wear or what to have for dinner than we do about where we want our life to be in 10 years. About 20 years ago I read a book called “Thinking for a change” and it forever changed the trajectory of my life. I’ll tell you what I learned from that book and how it helped me and how I believe it can help you too.

Episode 239- Being the new kid.

We all remember that feeling of being the new kid. It’s happened to us all at least several times throughout our lives. We’re the new kid at school, we’re the new kid on the job, we’re the new kid on the soccer team or the baseball team. Being the new kid is often full of feelings of anxiety and trepidation but if we are unwilling to be the new kid in our adult lives, we will severely limit our ability to experience new things and to grow. Let’s talk about that today.

Episode 238- The scale, body dismorphia, Batman and Victoria Secret.

Why are we so obsessed with the scale? And why do we here at Iron Legion encourage you to get rid of the scale? And the biggest question of all, how do we make a global change in how society views weight and body image. Let’s talk.

Episode 237- Heavy weights and low reps vs. lighter weights and higher reps. What’s the difference?

There are a lot of questions and there is a lot of confusion around the different styles of training out there. Let’s talk about the differences between them and why some people are more suited to certain styles than others.

Episode 236- Which one is the real you?

We all have days where we feel like the wolf. Powerful. Aggressive. We can take on the world. But we also have days where we feel like the sheep. We are timid, intimidated and easily overwhelmed. Which one of those is really who we are?

Episode 235- When to accept it and when to rise up and fight.

Today we explore a couple of different concepts, two of which seem to conflict. How do we accept our circumstances and own our own destinies at the same time?

Episode 234- Take the time each day to get your shit together.
