Work in Progress
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.

Sometimes You Don't Know What You Want
I start this show by stating that I don't really like putting out content that doesn't, at least somewhat differentiate itself from other content. Even though I would get much more traction doing a show about hot-button fitness topics, it pains me to do it. So, today's show is about matching your motives to your goals. Oftentimes, I have matched my motives to what I thought my goals should be. It never ends well. As I've aged and become a parent, I don't really do much of anything that I genuinely want to do. I, by my own fault, live to meet the expectations of others and not fulfill some internal desire. For better or for worse, that is why this podcast you're listening to isn't exactly thriving. I don't give a fuck about what I need to do to make it a "big show." I've tried to listen, and it fails, and I've started to investigate and lose motivation. I'm not saying I want to turn you away, but to let you know this show is authentic. I don't do it for money. That's for damn sure. I don't even do it to be critically applauded because I don't hear anything in a digital format that I think is very good. I don't listen to podcasts, so I'm not a great audience.
That being said...Subscribe, Like, and help me.

Simply the Best...Program
I created a new program exclusively available at my patreon https://www.patreon.com/user?u=2666345&fan_landing=true. This Program is called SIMPLY THE BEST PROGRAM. This is a sarcastic name because I created this program in response to all the maniacs claiming that their programming is the best or the only one you need. My motives were to then create a program that might actually included portion of everything you will need. Please check this episode out and understand the details and motives.

Stop Looking for the Perfect Training Program Because Here it is
I am tired of people searching online for the newest and best training advice or scrolling Instagram and TikTok for the perfect program. In today's episode, I break down the absolute most practical training advice possible to create the best program for yourself. If you are curious about how to make the most of your performance or appearance, this is the episode for you. I break down the difference between volume and intensity and why elements of both need to make their way into training. I also try to explain how and why training history, age, and lifestyle need to factor into how you use my programming.
Far too few people who listen to or watch this podcast are subscribed to my channels, so do me a favor and like/subscribe.

I Will Strike Down With Furious Anger
Listen. I am not an angry guy. Most people that know me on a personal level would support that claim. I do have a threshold, and when it is reached, I tend to lose my cool. Well, in this episode, my threshold was reached and I absolutely lose my cool. I stumbled across a fitness "influencer" who thinks it's ok to mimic and ridicule a developmentally disabled, special needs fellow. I will not take that one lying down. On top of all that excitement, I answer a bunch of listener questions ranging from BJJ conditioning to protein levels. It is an entertaining and informative show my friends.

Critiquing the Critics and Two Huge Diet Tips
I loved doing this episode because it really did come from the heart. I'm angered by the recent response to the episode I did with Judd Lienhard. Judd showed great wisdom and an open mind, yet people flamed him for it. Many people believe the world is binary. There is a right and wrong in their view, and I find that ludicrous. The human experience is incredibly complex and trying to simplify or compartmentalize it, is foolhardy. I also give you two of my biggest tips for weight loss. Please enjoy.

Speed and Performance Coach Judd Lienhard
Judd Lienhard is a rare mix of awesome physique and high level performance. I loved talking to Judd because he has a very thoughtful approach to not only fitness but to life. Mixing speed, power and mobility in with hypertrophy is very wise but certainly not easy, so I enjoyed hearing how everyday folk could go about it. Follow Judd on Instagram and check out his programming.

173 - Trying and Failing at Becoming John Wick and Other Musings
So I took my level of danger to a new level by engaging in the Sheepdog Response Protector Course and I tell you all about how not bad ass I am. Plus I clear up some issues people are having with my prior comments on training.
Dude. An incredibly small percentage of people who listen to show are not subscribed. Please do that. Mathematically zero people subscribe and engage with my YouTube page so go do that. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCtUpQZF2a02K2EoGEDDxcfQ
