Lift For Life with Graham and Angus

Run clubs are booming, and it’s not really about the running. You get fitter, spend time outdoors, meet new people and have the motivation of a community around you.

And you don’t need to be a serious runner. Fitness is easier when it’s social. In this episode, Angus and Graham discuss whether they are the latest dating apps… and the clubs that Angus has recently joined.

Choosing the right gym matters more than people think. From luxury health clubs and hardcore bodybuilding gyms to CrossFit boxes, hotel gyms, community centres, boutique studios, 24-hour chains and some frankly bizarre concepts, there is now a gym for almost everyone.

The best gym isn’t necessarily the most expensive or best equipped. It’s the one that fits your goals, your personality, your budget and, crucially, your daily routine. In this episode, Graham & Angus look at the different types of gyms and how they came to their choice.___

Muscles don’t grow simply because you train hard. Growth requires the right training stimulus and enough recovery to adapt.

Poor technique, inadequate range of motion, rushing reps and failing to progressively overload can mean the target muscle never receives enough tension. Angus & graham describe the lessons Graham has learned on his journey to be jacked.

Weight training isn’t just good for your muscles, it’s good for your brain too. Angus and Graham discuss their reading on the topic, both have experiences of Alzheimer’s in their friends and family so it resonates.
Resistance exercise increases blood flow to the brain and stimulates the release of growth factors and muscle-derived signals called myokines, which support brain-cell health, neuroplasticity and communication between neurons.
Regular strength training has been associated with better memory, attention and executive function.___
