Bleav, Bleav
This is Work in Progress — a show about building a body, mind, and life that stand the test of time. Hosted by Michael Catherwood, a lifelong athlete and black belt who’s spent decades in pursuit of strength, discipline, and peace. Here, we go beyond reps and routines to talk about what really keeps us in the game — the habits, the mindset, and the meaning behind the work.

Episode 100 - I Don't Feel Like I Matter
I didn't want to do an episode about my problems. I hope I have succeeded. I am very depressed right now, and I'm having trouble doing much of anything. I usually use broadcasting as an escape, and at the risk of sounding airheaded, the universe guided me to dive right into my despondency. Many of you feel like I do, and I am rather disgusted by the vile pseudo-alpha-male culture that tries to present itself as invulnerable. I lack the motivation to brush my teeth, let alone build my "Instagram-ready fantasy life." So I will talk about all this in the new episode.

The No Good Dirty Scoundrel Instant Gratification
I have to start off by saying sorry. Towards the end of the episode, there are some audio problems and it's all my fault. I used the lapel mic and got animated, at which point it wrapped up in my clothes. I edited out most of it but sorry nonetheless. Instant gratification has been the bane of my entire existence. Addiction, fat loss, muscle building, relationships, etc have all been ruined by my need for things to give me an immediate return on investment. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Food Prep and Sanity can Coexist
It isn't reassuring to admit this, but preparation and planning with food are probably more important than any other aspect of physique transformation. Why is it disappointing? Because it sucks, and it is a pain in the keister, and we have lives that make it difficult. With that being said, here are some tips to make it easier, tastier, and more realistic for those of us with demanding personal and professional lives. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Patron Q and A - Somehow Simultaneously the Silliest and Most Serious Episode
The title isn't just stupid bait. I get angry about meaningless crap and also very in-depth and serious about weightier issues. I asked my patrons for questions and I got some great ones. We talk about calories deficits, keto fat numbers, deadlift form, straps, gloves, grips, witchcraft, and candlewax on the nipples. It was a really great session and I'm happy. Hope you are too.
