Ever wondered about the history behind bodybuilding and how it has evolved over the years? Join us as we draw comparisons between Arthur Jones' High Intensity Training and Mike Menser's Heavy Duty Training, while also shedding light on the innovative techniques that have been borrowed and adapted by bodybuilders worldwide. Be prepared to walk down memory lane as we revisit the 1980 Olympia competition and the psychological tactics employed by Arnold Schwarzenegger, and learn about the current popularity of Heavy Duty Training among a younger demographic.
We end with a discussion on the crucial connection between fitness and community engagement. Discover how to keep your audience engaged beyond the podcast, and understand the impact of influencers on the popularity of fitness trends. Drawing from the experiences and journeys of others in the fitness community can be a powerful learning tool, and we encourage you to immerse yourself in the rich history and context of health and fitness programs.

Infinite Jest

Could the negative effects of social media be more damaging than we ever imagined, and what if we told you that our attitudes towards social media could be compared to past perceptions of smoking? This episode, we dive into the surprisingly prescient world of David Foster Wallace's Infinite Jest, drawing parallels between the addiction and entertainment themes in the book and today's social media trends. We also reflect on the postmodern, media-saturated society we live in, and how disinformation and false narratives are shaping our realities.
Social media has created a pressure to upgrade phones and an addictive environment that makes people willing to pay to stop using it. We'll provide you with an in-depth analysis of these negative impacts. It's not just about social media, though. We also talk about fitness and insecurities, examining the dangers of external validation and misleading fitness advertising. But don't worry, it's not all doom and gloom. We'll offer potential solutions, discussing dopamine fasting and how to change unhealthy behaviors.
Finally, we delve into the impact of social media on mental health and public discourse, utilizing Jaron Lanier's book "Ten Arguments for Deleting Your Social Media Accounts Right Now". We'll discuss the manipulative behavior and mental health deterioration that can come with social media use. And there's more - we also examine the rise of unstable surface training in workouts. Throughout the episode, we provide practical tips on how to navigate the digital world, ensuring you're informed and equipped to handle these realities. This is a critical conversation that intersects media, fitness, and mental health, and we hope you'll join us.
