In the flurry of our time in South Padre, I realized I did a great podcast and never told you about it, so I wanted to let you know! I joined Kylie Riesselman Larson on her Far From Perfect podcast to talk about all things fitness, recovery, metabolic flexibility, heart rate variability, and why your VO₂ max might be more important than you think. We also dug into my personal journey, what got me into fitness science, and how I transitioned from in-person to online coaching (with a few side tangents about fasting, fuel usage, and stress management along the way). If you’re serious about optimizing performance or just curious what goes on behind the curtain, this one’s for you. Guest Podcast: Far From Perfect with Kylie Larson << Episode Chapters:

Well, saddle up, Broseph Ironblood, because I built this infernal machine for you. The Real...
Let’s talk about the MetCon cult’s favorite excuse for avoiding real cardio. "Can’t I just lift weights faster? My heart rate goes up, so it must be cardio, right?" In short, no Brosefus. No, it is not. This is the same logic that says, “I drank six vodka sodas, therefore I am hydrated.” Just because something sounds logical doesn’t mean it’s physio-logical (shoutout to Dr. Peter Lemon on that quote). Why Lifting Faster Does Not Replace Cardio Let’s break this down before you hyperventilate...
Today, I’ve got something that might just change your life — if you can handle the truth without crying into your protein shake. Hahaha. Let me hit you with some real talk: Want energy that roars through your day like a V12 engine—no crashes, no slumps? Want to recover faster from the gym beatdowns you so lovingly inflict upon yourself? Want to build more muscle, hit more PRs, and still have gas left in the tank for life? Want to burn more fat—without adding another darn minute of stoooopidd...
