What if you only had 20 minutes a day to train? Nick Urankar & Braxston Cave break down a zero-fluff plan: one main lift, interval conditioning, and a weekly structure that kills excuses and builds real strength under fatigue. Try the 6×(400m + 20 burpees) challenge and send us your score.

If you had just 20 minutes, could you still get strong, lean, and conditioned? In this Rising Tribes episode, Nick Urankar and Braxston Cave lay out a simple, savage framework: eliminate long rests, anchor each day to one main lift, use intervals for conditioning, and progress by adding weight or total work each week.
We cover:

• The 7-day / 20-minute split (squat • press • pull • run/machines • skill)
• “Strong under fatigue” vs. chasing 1-rep maxes
• How to warm up inside the clock (and stop overthinking)
• The Burpee-Run test: 6 rounds of 400m + 20 burpees (scale to 10–20 minutes)
• Beating analysis paralysis with night-before planning
  Post your time and tag @RisingTribes — we’ll shout out top efforts.
• The rule: One main movement, minimal rest, measurable progress.
• Strength days: climb weight every set for 20:00 (front/back squat, deadlift, strict→push press→jerk).
• Conditioning days: intervals (EMOMs, 90/30s, 3:1 work/rest).
• Run day: 10 out/10 back — try to pass last week’s turnaround.
• Skill day: olympic lifts + a skill (e.g., handstand walk).
• Progression: more total sets, start heavier next week, or finish heavier.
• Challenge: 6×(400m + 20 burpees) — or AMRAP 20:00. Scale distance/reps, not the intent.
• Mantra: “Don’t need an hour. Need intent.”

Friendship looks different for men than it does for women — but most guys never stop to think about the quality of the relationships around them. In this episode, Nick and Brax dive into what real friendships look like, the 5 types of friends every man needs, and why accountability is so rare (but powerful) among men.

They share personal stories from sports, entrepreneurship, and family life that reveal how to find the right people, how to let go of the wrong ones, and how to build a circle that challenges you to grow.

By the end, you’ll be asking yourself: Who’s in my five? And who’s missing?

In this unscripted episode of Rising Tribes, Nick and Braxston step away from their planned topics to tackle something bigger: the tension, division, and anger dominating our world right now.

Nick shares the story behind a simple social media post that spiraled into controversy — and the conversations that followed, from online critics to childhood friends. Together, they explore:

• Why people create their own narratives around what you say.
• How to respond to hate without becoming hateful yourself.
• The lessons we pass to our kids about resilience, faith, and kindness.
• Why small actions — a smile, a compliment, a wave — can shift the atmosphere more than arguments ever will.

This isn’t politics. It’s about people. It’s about leading with love, seeking understanding, and remembering that we’re far more alike than different.

👉 Listen in, then ask yourself: How can I be a light in the darkness today
