Iron Meditation | The Art of Living and Lifting

#127 Here’s what I learned when I stopped using a calorie app and started acting like a hunter

Season 11, Ep. 127

If you’ve ever finished a “casual” training session only to come home and demolish everything in your fridge — this one’s for you.

We dive into why nutrition is 100% emotional, how to reverse-engineer your cravings, and what your post-workout hunger is really telling you.

No macros. No fairy-dusted lettuce. Just raw, honest reflection — and one of the best tips I ever got from my coach.

Would you like to know more?

    10:00||Season 11, Ep. 128
    Most people don’t fail because they are lazy, weak-willed, or “unmotivated.” They fail because they don’t understand that a habit is a three-step process.Miss one step, and it collapses.

    Back in school, aiming for more made us succeed. In training, aiming for more often makes us quit. Why? Because for real adults with real lives, six sessions a week feels like another job, not a reward.

  • 125. #125 Permission to Do Less: Why Good Coaching Feels Too Simple

    Most people only train with two variables: volume and intensity. But there’s a third one that rules not just training, but life itself — density. In this episode, I’ll break down what density really means, why kettlebell sport lives and dies by it, and how the same principle applies to time management, business, and everyday life. Would you like to know more?Hit ▶️ and do❗Running time: <10 minutesIf you need a simple 4-week program, here's one for you (Yes, it's FREE) - A MINIMALIST GS STARTER PROGRAM*********Thank you for listening!
