Diary Of A Big Lad
Osborne Road Productions
When it comes to self-improvement, Chade O’Brien has seen and tried it all. From fad diets and personal trainers to chasing mystical fitness unicorns. However, after more ups-and-downs in the gym than Arnie’s dumbbells, 2022 saw Chade logging what genuinely worked and sharing his success on social media. This evolved into the 'Diary Of A Big Lad Podcast' – an ordinary 'big lad's guide to fitness, sharing nuggets of wisdom from his journey.
Join the North's sweatiest man (and his wobbly wingman, Nico) as they tackle a new fitness topic each week, sifting through the myths to discover what truly gets results. They run exercises, experiment with different methods and interview guests on their ongoing quest to not only finding the methods that work the best for them, but helping you hone in on which ones can work for you!

Chade takes Nico through the '7 Levels Deep' technique (come on!!) as they continue with their challenge from Episode 41, 'Mindset - Pick Your Brain Not Your Nose'.
Nico discusses a change he wants to make and together they break down the 'why', going deeper a stage every time until they can identify what Nico can tell himself in the moment to make sure he continues to implement it.
The levels are:
Level 1: The Surface 'Why'
Level 2: The Underlying Reason
Level 3: Emotional Connection
Level 4: Personal Values
Level 5: Core Beliefs
Level 6: Transformational Insights
Level 7: The Root 'Why'
There's even time for an extra speedy, 'Big Lad's Meal Of The Week'.
