Addicted to Pain with Matt Paz — Real Chalk #83
An inspirational story that is sure to fire you up for the week! In this podcast Matt Paz outlines his journey from rock bottom to qualifying for the triathlon world championships in Kona Hawaii just a few years later. Some would say that he traded one addiction for another, but if you ask me, I’d call it destiny. Matt was born to suffer, inspire, and share his love for fitness with the world. He just had a different path than most. And at the end of the day, he will tell you that he wouldn’t have it any other way. Matt currently owns and operates Garden Grove Fitness in Orange County, California. His gym, brand, and community continue to grow at rapid pace. Inspirational stories like this is exactly why I started this podcast! I hope you enjoy it, share it, and reach out to Matt on Instagram and let him know your thoughts.

Changing The Game with Richard Diaz — Real Chalk #82
In this episode, Richard Diaz and I talk about one of the most controversial subjects in Crossfit. How do I increase work capacity while training less?? With so many different ideologies circling the sport under so many different coaches — it’s really hard to land on one solid piece of information. Everyone has theories, however Rich has more data. We talk a lot about battling fatigue. We talk a lot about what’s truly right by science. And we talk about a new training style that Rich has been working on since he heard about CrossFit. In my honest opinion, his newest theory is the missing piece we’ve all been looking for. Welcome to one of the moments in sport when everything changes. I’m so excited to be part of it and I’m more excited to drop this episode in your eardrums. God speed. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Show notes: http://www.shruggedcollective.com/rc-diaz ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ► Subscribe to Shrugged Collective's Channel Here http://bit.ly/BarbellShruggedSubscribe 📲 🎧 Listen to the audio version on the Apple Podcast App or Stitcher for Android Here- http://bit.ly/BarbellShruggedApple http://bit.ly/BarbellShruggedStitcher Shrugged Collective is a network of fitness, health and performance shows that help people achieve their physical and mental health goals.
