What Does It Mean to Be A Man’s Man?

🤔 EP011 - What kind of a man are you? While a seemingly rhetorical question, this is one that will ultimately determine the quality of your relationships, and therefore the quality of your life.
FACT - Masculinity has never been so ambiguous as it is today, which means it’s getting harder and harder for men themselves to define what it means to ‘be a man’. Terms like ‘be the man’ or ‘man up’ are tossed around all the time when nobody seems to have taken the time to clearly define what doing those things entails.
🎙️ In today’s PodWod, we’re going back into RELATIONSHIP Health & Fitness and answering four very simple yet powerful questions:
💪🏾 PodPump#1 - Are you a sofa friend or a treadmill friend, and what does the answer to that question tell you about the kind of man that you are? (3:52)
💪🏾 PodPump#2 - What is one non-negotiable aspect of manhood and being an example for the men around you that is usually overlooked and renders men impotent pawns in a world that seems to demonize true masculinity? (12:15)
💪🏾 PodPump#3 - How the hell do we make friends as adult men? Seriously...where do we go to find men we can interact with and once we do, how the hell do we go from simply interacting to actually connecting? (25:03)
💪🏾 PodPump#4 - With everyone pointing to the Goggins’ or the Jockos of the world for examples of what a ‘real man’ is, are there equally as good (perhaps even better) examples of good men we can look to as role models right in our own backyards? (33:21)

4 Mistakes Nobody In the Health & Fitness Industry Is Talking About
🤔 EP010 - Do you value your PHYSICAL Health & Fitness?
Ask most men this question and they’ll answer in the affirmative. Most if not all will even tell you why they value it. But if actions speak louder than words, and our collective actions can be expressed through some pretty depressing stats in terms of obesity, life expectancy, and the leading causes of death being preventable, do we as men appreciate the very real-world and immediate impacts of either prioritizing or neglecting our Physical Health & Fitness?
🗣️ “I would say that the mental frame had to come first before the physical frame could follow. I think the problem with energy balance (cals in/cals out) and that conversation.. it really does present things through a short-term lens, and I don’t think that there’s ever the context of like what’s the forever plan?” - Mike Millner
🎙️ In today’s PodWod, we're tackling what some would very easily argue is the most important pillar of a happy life - our Physical Health & Fitness - as without our health we’re not able to enjoy any of the other beauties life has to offer us.
💪🏾 PodPump#1 - What is a "self-trust bank account" and what impact does it have on the quality of your Physical Health & Fitness? (7:12)
💪🏾 PodPump#2 - What is the most powerful tool in our toolkit that is the first step to mastering consistency both in the gym and the kitchen? (14:55)
💪🏾 PodPump#3 - Which comes first when it comes to improving your Physical Health & Fitness...mindset or movement? (23:09)
💪🏾 PodPump#4 - What is a hard truth most men fail to realize when it comes to what their Physical Health & Fitness says to their partner, the world, and themsleves? (30:14)

The Disturbing Dad Bod - Who’s to Blame and What Are We Gonna Do About It?
🤬 WTFU 003 - Do men not give a shit about their physical health and fitness or is there something more to it than that?
FACT - Most men are fat and out of shape. But is it as simple as saying we don’t care or lack self-discipline and willpower? While there is certainly an argument to be made for those factors, I would take a HARD stance on the fact that the Health & Fitness Industry is where the majority of the fault is to be placed.
🎙️ In today's edition of WTFU Wednesdays, we’re turning back to Mike Millner and his words of wisdom on the Wits & Weights podcast to find out what the turning point was for him that allowed him to transform his physique (and stay jacked!) so that we can ditch the ‘Dad Bods’ once and for all.
