Is it possible to drink beer and still lose weight? Fitness Coach Matt Smith and his most successful client Todd Davies discuss the most common mistakes people make when trying to lose weight, while walking you through how to go about it. You will get weekly updates on Todd's progress as he embarks on a fitness mission, all while drinking beer and leading a normal life. No tupperware containers filled with plain chicken and broccoli here! Just good advice and hopefully a good laugh too. Matt and Todd will also be discussing a different beer each week, and drinking it during the podcast - with the aim of introducing the listener (you) to some of their favourite beers

Calories on Menus: Are We Missing the Big Picture?

England has recently made it the law that any restaurant or pub chain that employs over 250 people must place calories on menus. This has been welcomed by some and derided by others. After reading several articles online I thought that it would be a good idea to take a look at what the science says, and give my own opinion. Calories on Menus This podcast was incredibly tough to pla

Fitness Influencers to Follow and Habit Forming

In today's podcast, I talk about five fitness influencers to follow, the importance of forming simple habits when embarking on a new diet or workout regime, and I drink Tangle Foot beer by Badger brewery in Dorset. Five Fitness Influencers to Follow This podcast's original point was to talk exclusively about five fitness influencers to follow, and nothing else. But while planning i

Are Abs Made in the Kitchen?

In this week's podcast episode, I attempt to answer the question "are abs made in the kitchen?". After last week's heavily researched podcast episode, I decided to have a more laid back approach to this one. The podcast is more of a collection of thoughts and anecdotes I've had around weight loss and body image in the fitness world, particularly for men. Not that women don't have

Stop Watching Dieting Documentaries

We've all heard of dieting documentaries such as "What the Health" and "Supersize me", but I'm going to ask you to do something for me. Stop watching dieting documentaries! They are absolutely terrible, completely unscientific, and a plague upon mankind. As you can imagine, this podcast is going to involve a high degree of ranting. Stop Watching Dieting Documentaries I actually did

Six Ridiculous Fitness Myths

In today's episode, I tackle six ridiculous fitness myths that have somehow entered the public subconscious. I chose this title a while back because I thought it would be an easy podcast to research. How incredibly wrong I was! Finding fitness myths that hadn't been disproven 500 times already was really difficult. Six Ridiculous Fitness Myths I won't name all six ridiculous fitnes

How to Fix Your Bench Press

In this podcast, I teach you how to fix your bench press. This will involve leaving your ego at the door. Lowering the weight, working on your grip, learning how to set up properly. It will also involve a few training tips that can make huge differences over time. How to Fix Your Bench Press Considering that the bench press is probably the most important and iconic gym exercise for

The Anti Diet Movement: Has it Gone Too Far?

I'm a fence-sitter, I like to think that most people in the fitness industry should be. Fence sitting should be your default move in an industry as young as this. This is why I tend to be sceptical (cynical?) about any part of the fitness industry that reduces the world into black and white. Does the anti diet movement do this? That's what this podcast looks to uncover. The Anti Di

The Best Beers of Season Two of Beer N Biceps

In the final episode of the series, I will take a look at the best beers of season two. Naming my personal top ten out of the twenty beers I've tried. I also look back on the season and talk about how much it differs from season one and my initial plans for it. The Best Beers of Season Two I'm not going to mention all ten beers here, got to keep something for the podcast! But picki

Worst Exercises to Perform in the Gym

In today's podcast, I talk about the worst exercises to perform in the gym. It's more a look at exercises or workouts that you shouldn't perform in a busy gym. Either because the exercises themselves are bad, or because doing so can be disruptive to your fellow members. Worst Exercises to Perform in the Gym The worst exercises to perform in the gym in my opinion are: * Adductor/Ab

The Real Reason Behind the Obesity Epidemic

In this podcast episode, I look at the real reason behind the obesity epidemic, and I also attempt to dispel many of the incorrect theories out there. Now, while I am fairly confident that my theory is the right one, there is no single reason for the obesity epidemic, but more a collection of reasons. The Real Reason Behind the Obesity Epidemic Whilst researching an article for wor
