226: The Fitness Episode
<p>Nathan brings on two Patreon members - Schnapp and Confucius - to discuss getting started with personal fitness. Starting with the basics, the boys discuss setting reasonable goals and expectations, how to maintain accountability, and how *most* people at the gym are actually surprisingly nice and willing to help you get started. They also debunk common gym myths such as shoddy influencers, protein slop, and how not every training method works for each person the same.Schnapp and Confucius then discuss what got them into fitness, how to acquire home equipment for cheap, unorthodox training tools (sandbags, logs, biking, etc), and accurately tracking progress, as well as how to 'deload’ and give your body a reset. This episode also caps off with a list of online resources to use in your Fitness Journey(TM), which are linked below. </p><p><br></p><p><strong>LINKS MENTIONED:</strong></p><p>BoostCamp (fitness programming app)</p><p><a href="https://www.boostcamp.app/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">https://www.boostcamp.app/</a></p><p><br></p><p>Bald Omni-Man's Beast Slayer 2.0 Program</p><p><a href="https://youtu.be/woD6VfBOu-Y" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">https://youtu.be/woD6VfBOu-Y</a></p><p><br></p><p>Bald Omni-Man's Berserk Program (3hr deep dive program)</p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sq6sddgVN-w&list=PLt5NvY0VJXHJhYis0b1SnIEWBYCoFlkpg&index=5" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sq6sddgVN-w&list=PLt5NvY0VJXHJhYis0b1SnIEWBYCoFlkpg&index=5</a></p><p><br></p><p>Calgary Barbell (powerlifting form)</p><p><a href="https://youtube.com/@calgarybarbell?si=esrqqSOWnzN0j1m8" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">https://youtube.com/@calgarybarbell?si=esrqqSOWnzN0j1m8</a></p><p><br></p><p>Sean Nalewanyj (debunking fitness myths)</p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/@Sean_Nalewanyj/videos" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">https://www.youtube.com/@Sean_Nalewanyj/videos</a></p><p><br></p><p>EDITOR'S PICK: Jeff Nippard (general fitness, easy-to-digest video content)</p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S6rqpxVGKZ4" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S6rqpxVGKZ4</a></p><p><br></p><p><strong>Check out our link tree for all of our stuff:</strong></p><p><a href="https://brand.page/theartandwarpodcast">https://brand.page/theartandwarpodcast</a></p><p><br></p><p><strong>Follow the lads on IG:</strong> </p><p>Nathan / Main Page: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/cbrnart/?hl=en%E2%81%A0%E2%81%A0%E2%81%A0%E2%81%A0%E2%81%A0%E2%81%A0%E2%81%A0%E2%81%A0%E2%81%A0%E2%81%A0%E2%81%A0%E2%81%A0%E2%81%A0%E2%81%A0%E2%81%A0%E2%81%A0%E2%81%A0%E2%81%A0%E2%81%A0%E2%81%A0%E2%81%A0%E2%81%A0%E2%81%A0%E2%81%A0%C2%A0%E2%81%A0%E2%81%A0%E2%81%A0%E2%81%A0%E2%81%A0%E2%81%A0%E2%81%A0%E2%81%A0%E2%81%A0%E2%81%A0%E2%81%A0%E2%81%A0%E2%81%A0%E2%81%A0%E2%81%A0%E2%81%A0%E2%81%A0%E2%81%A0%E2%81%A0%E2%81%A0%E2%81%A0%E2%81%A0%E2%81%A0%E2%81%A0%C2%A0"></a></p><p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/cbrnart/?hl=en%E2%81%A0%E2%81%A0%E2%81%A0%E2%81%A0%E2%81%A0%E2%81%A0%E2%81%A0%E2%81%A0%E2%81%A0%E2%81%A0%E2%81%A0%E2%81%A0%E2%81%A0%E2%81%A0%E2%81%A0%E2%81%A0%E2%81%A0%E2%81%A0%E2%81%A0%E2%81%A0%E2%81%A0%E2%81%A0%E2%81%A0%E2%81%A0%C2%A0%E2%81%A0%E2%81%A0%E2%81%A0%E2%81%A0%E2%81%A0%E2%81%A0%E2%81%A0%E2%81%A0%E2%81%A0%E2%81%A0%E2%81%A0%E2%81%A0%E2%81%A0%E2%81%A0%E2%81%A0%E2%81%A0%E2%81%A0%E2%81%A0%E2%81%A0%E2%81%A0%E2%81%A0%E2%81%A0%E2%81%A0%E2%81%A0%C2%A0">https://www.instagram.com/cbrnart/?hl=en </a></p><p>B.R: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/br.the.anarch">
