  • #38 l The Untold Story of a Swamp Queen with Jade Wiggins
    Aug 30 2023

    Special Guest Jade Wiggins joins us to discuss her experiences with a 15 year run with gymnastics and enjoyment of yoga. We go into sports training and the constant sacrifice in gymnastics in order to reach the top level of Collegiate or Olympic routes. Sports can take a toll on all of us physically and mentally. However, within our respective sport, we gain discipline, communication, leadership and so much more to keep getting better every single day! Remember to push yourself to reach your goals and be the best version of yourself during that process! Sometimes it is not always going to be an easy day, and that’s OKAY. Just stay consistent, work hard, and surround yourself with good people 🤜 🤛

  • #36 l Gym + Influencers = Gymfluencers
    Aug 5 2023

    Today, Andrew and Bryce discuss what a gymfluencer is considered today. We go into how entertainment from social media can take away the lure of helpful tips and content, especially if that influencer is ONLY trying to sell you something. We speak on viewership and what makes up a valid person to listen to for advice in such a saturated industry. Scrolling aimlessly on social media can affect our judgement between entertainment and factual truth on what is considered helpful in each of our unique situations, so please do your research and tailor it to your needs!

  • #34 l Does Supplementation = Nutrition
    Jul 10 2023

    Today, Andrew and Bryce discuss the differences between supplementation and nutrition. We go into how you can fully benefit from supplementing in and out of the gym with proper testing and diet changes to compliment any deficiencies. Make sure to consume whole foods first before supplementing, however, it can be difficult for most who are not fully invested in their health and nutrition. The average person will more than likely not be able to achieve full whole foods diet without any supplementation for possible deficiencies. Eating balanced meals full of fruits, veggies, proteins, and complex carbs are a winner for homeostasis and simplicity in your lifestyle.

We go into what they’ve changed so far before the final decision some time around August. Marijuana use in college athletes has shown no effect on athletic performance, therefore deemed to not be a performance enhancing drug (PED). In compliance with the US Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) and World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA), the THC threshold has been changed to a higher acceptable tolerance level and precautions of athletes harm from using marijuana is the emphasis. “Name, Image, Likeness” (NIL) deals come to question if popularity and marijuana in all 50 US states are legalized.
