In this week’s Strength Chat, I was joined by two awesome guests, the Founder of INDI Performance and a Sports Dietitian, Paige Mills and Leah Higl. Nutrition is important for performance; however, it often falls down the list of priorities behind training and life getting the way. In this episode we covered the difference between nutrition for performance versus life, common mistakes and how to fix them, as well as adjusting your nutrition to match your training You can follow Paige via the following links: Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/bikerbiddie/?hl=en       Website: https://indiperformance.com/    You can follow Leah via the following links: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/plantstrong_dietitian/?hl=en Website: https://indiperformance.com/ You can follow myself, Coach Cuthbert, via the following links: Website: https://www.coachcuthberttrainingsystems.co.uk/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/coach_cuthbert/?hl=en Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/coachcuthbert/   Check out the podcast affiliates: https://www.coachcuthberttrainingsystems.co.uk/affiliates

In this week’s Strength Chat, it was an absolute pleasure to be joined by an IFBB Pro Bodybuilder with over 10 years of coaching and competitive bodybuilding experience, Kuba Sylvester Cielen. The content and information Kuba puts out there is awesome. Not only that, but as a source of motivation and leading by example, he sets the standard. Therefore, in this episode, we chatted about balancing training, coaching, and running a business, his mindset and discipline to keep focussed on the process, as well as how all those things combine for success.

I last spoke to this guest in Episode 152, and it was great to welcome her back in this weeks Strength Chat as the 2022 IPF World Champion! In this episode I was joined by the one and only, Meg Scanlon. It was awesome to catch up with Meg as the last time we spoke we touched on her goals and what we could expect to see from her on the platform. She did not disappoint. In this episode we chatted about her build to worlds, balancing life away from powerlifting, as well as mindset and managing stress.

It was an absolute pleasure to be joined in this weeks Strength Chat by a strength and conditioning coach, who, for the last 15 years has worked with the New Zealand All Blacks, Nic Gill. To be able to speak with someone of Nic’s knowledge and experience was awesome. In this episode we chatted about working with athletes in camps, when to push and when to maintain, as well as how not to overcomplicate training.

In this weeks Strength Chat, I was joined by registered dietitian, personal trainer, and competitive powerlifter, Dan Feldman. As more people start to participate in strength sports and training, it’s only natural that they look at information on nutrition as well. However, there can be a lot of misleading information out there to filter through. Therefore, in this episode, we chatted about the misconceptions around strength athletes’ nutrition, health vs performance, and losing and maintaining weight.

It was great to catch up with this guy in this weeks Strength Chat after last speaking with him back in episode 107. Today I was joined by The Barbell Physio, Zach Long. The content and information that Zach puts out there is awesome. He strikes that balance between still getting his clients and athletes to still train hard, but also work around, manage, and progress from their injuries or niggles. In this episode we chatted about adding mobility into your training, working on weak links to get stronger, as well as training around injuries.

I last spoke to this guy back in episode 57 and 101, which were really popular episodes. This week I caught up with the one and only, Jordan Syatt. Having followed Jordan for some time, I really buy in to his approach to coaching. He doesn’t beat around the bush and says it how it is, even if that means that some people may not like it. With that in mind, in this episode, we chatted about why working out isn’t all about burning calories, why being 100% all the time isn’t sustainable, and how to adjust your goals.

In this week’s episode I was joined by 4x Paralympian, winning a silver medal at the Rio 2016 Paralympic Games, Ali Jawad. The success Ali has had in Para Powerlifting is awesome, competing at the highest level and breaking numerous world records, so to be able to chat with him and hear his story was great. Therefore, in this episode, we chatted about how he started Para Powerlifting, his career and mindset around training, as well as life after competing and his new app venture.

It was an absolute pleasure to be joined this week on Strength Chat by strength coach and the Co-Founder of Jailhouse Strong, Josh Bryant. With the entry level to start to strength training being so low, and the benefits to a persons physical and mental health being so great, it’s sometimes surprising how overcomplicated it can be made. Ultimately, what we talk about in this episode, there are some key principles that we must follow consistently to get strong. This was a great chat where we covered the fundamentals of strength, functional vs barbell strength, and how to keep getting stronger.

In this week’s Strength Chat, I was joined by a Doctor of Physical Therapy, strength and conditioning specialist, and one of the minds behind The Prehab Guys, Craig Lindell. It was great to chat with Craig as I have followed The Prehab Guys for some time now as they put some awesome content and information out there.
