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

Episode 150- The one thing.

There are a lot of factors that determine a person’s success in a particular area. But having observed and studied human behavior for several years now, I would argue that there is one thing that is most important.

Episode 149-Change will not come without inconvenience.

Many people want a new body, a new life or a new career but they are not willing to change or give up their current habits. In order to achieve a dramatically different outcome, we must accept that there will be some pretty big changes and inconveniences to our current life.

Episode 148- Intermittent fasting and everything else.

Lots of questions this week about intermittent fasting and other diets, workouts, etc.

Episode 147- It's all relative.

Some things are hard. But somehow those things don’t seem so hard after you’ve done something even harder.

Episode 146: Discipline over motivation.

People are always asking “what can I do to stay motivated?” Well, I would say that motivation is not necessarily what’s lacking. Motivation is meaningless without discipline. Here’s why.

Episode 145- What is even more important than working hard?

Sure, your program is important. Without a good program it is unlikely that you will reach your goals. But that is not why most people don’t succeed. Hard work, same thing. Necessary yes, but not always the reason people don’t succeed. There is one more variable that is arguably more important than both of those. This is it.

Episode 144- What 10 years of bodybuilding taught me.

People often ask me if I miss being a bodybuilder. The answer? Yes and no. There are parts of it that I absolutely don’t miss. There are definitely parts that I do miss. What I miss may surprise you.

Episode 142- Adapt, adjust and overcome.

Just because there are cookies at the party doesn’t mean you have to eat them. There will always be circumstances that are less than optimal on your path to success. Learning to deal with them is the key.

Episode143- The best part about lifting that almost no one knows.

There are so many benefits to lifting and strenuous physical exercise they are almost impossible to tally. But in my opinion this one benefit outweighs them all.

Episode 138- “Well, I blew my diet again.”

How to survive the holiday season (and every other season for that matter) when you feel like you can’t stay on point.
