So today's topic is all about people pleasing. I personally have a ton of experience with this as I've had people pleasing tendencies since I was a kid. i think, just like anything, people pleasing has it's pros and cons. It can go from an innocent display of love or care to a toxic obligation to appease that ends up violating your boundaries and even your self - respect. everything in between that I think is up for debate on whether it's necessarily good or bad. People pleasing I think can come from many personal needs and desires, such as the desire to fit into a group of people or the need to feel wanted and appreciated. I think all of us have some people pleasing in us. Especially when were younger and more malleable. but as we grow up I think it's important to identify what the cons can be if things aren't balanced well. So I wanted to talk about my experience with people pleasing behavior with the hopes of not only venting for myself but maybe helping you, the listener get a better understanding of your own people pleasing tendencies and what to do about it. So without further ado, let's dive in to today's episode.

So today I got another fitness focused episode, Talking all about the OP upper body exercise you may not have much experience or exposure to, The overhead barbell press. The press is in my opinion the best developer of raw upper body strength. The press is a fickle and unforgiving disciplinarian in technique and patience. The most dramatic changes in my real world strength from my upper body have come from when I got my press from 95 lbs to 185 lbs. No question. Many things felt lighter and man does it feel bad ass to get anything over 135 over your head and and then control it back down snug into the starting position. The press is a disciplinarian because once it gets heavy it allows very little room for error. If your technique is sloppy you almost certainly will fail. Unlike the squat or deadlift or even bench press which has several handicaps from either the amount of muscles you can use to help compensate for technique or the fact that you have a platform to push off of in the bench press that wont move ( hopefully ). So today I want to talk about why the press is important, some safety misconceptions about the press and then finally how to approach the press and what to expect when including it into your exercise routine for the first time. So without further ado let's get dive into todays content.

Today, I thought it would be a good idea to talk about communication, specifically sharing some tips that I've either learned or naturally possessed, which have significantly improved the quality of my relationships and my effectiveness in the workplace. I consider communication skills as a whole to be among the most important skills to have if you want to make your life easier and your relationships deeper and more meaningful.

That being said, I believe some people mistakenly equate communication with merely talking a lot. While talking is undoubtedly a form of communication, it doesn't necessarily mean that you're expressing yourself effectively or that your message resonates with someone or has the desired impact on the listener. In fact, some people have the problem of over-communicating, saying more than necessary and losing the listener after just a few sentences.

However, it's important to understand that communication extends beyond talking alone. There are other physical and psychological factors that come into play, making an interaction with someone much more impactful and significant. So, without further ado, let's discuss three valuable communication tips that I've learned, which have helped me form high-quality relationships.

So today I got another fitness focused episode coming at ya. I wanted to talk to you today about some of the mistakes i've made over the years of my training since i started up until now. There's tons of them so im sure I could make this into multiple episodes. But for now I want to talk about just 3 with a bonus for my dedicated listeners. When i started in fitness. I watched a metric ton of youtube videos on how to optimize this how to do that. How this works how that works, How i can adjust my technique to do that. Why I should do this instead of that. The list goes on. In fitness theres about 10 answers to every question because of one overlapping answer - it depends. Such things are so individualized and there's so many factors that go into a person's fitness career to enhance success and efficiency. It can be REALLY easy to get lost in the sauce of all the learning material out there. Just as theres an abundance of ways to learn that also means by consequence that it can be really easy to get ahead of yourself and either do too much, too little or a combination of both. Now although perfection is never neccessary in fitness to grow. It can be quite challenging to dial in what works for you not only for now but for long term. So hopefully, by listening to these mistakes i've made, it can narrow down your obstacles a bit so you can have an easier time than i did figuring things out. So without further ado, let's dive right into it.
