Ranting & raving

We're on a solo ramble chat down the multiverse of fitness, sports, strength and conditioning and kendrick lamar today   I'm new to this soliloquy craic so I hope ye enjoy it   Sound lads!

Winter time = time to go full Rocky 4 baby...   This short solo podcast goes out for anyone who's in the offseason now, regardless of whether it's GAA that you play or not.    I'm making a big push on these shorter solo episodes and I love hearing about what you fuckers would like me to cover in an episode so feel free to send questions and ideas my way.    Let's take that health, fitness and performance of yours to a higher level our kid!

Cross-border cooperation continues with this meeting of Team Torres teammates from both sides of the imaginary line. Between myself and himself the ADHD be strong in this episode...   Yannick is a combat sport nutritionist hailing from Newry Co. Down who has a big background training and competing himself before beginning to help fighters with their weight cuts and grubbing to fuel performance.   He works with athletes in MMA, Boxing, Muay Thai and Jiu Jitsu and even has a couple UFC weight cuts in his resume with Irish fighter Rhys McKee. He's got a big pool of athletes that he works with and it's safe to say you'll be seeing his name pop up in the future with the talent he's currently working with.   Learn more about cutting weight for weight category sports and have a bit of craic with myself and Yannick as we go down the rabbit hole of combat nutrition...   Subscribe to the podcast, share with your mates and let us know what you thought of it in the comment you wee fool ya   Yannicks IG: yannick_magee_nutrition Our IG: @thehighertrainingpodcast   Become a full member of HALLION FC with the new Higher training merch Check out @coachpig_highertraining on instagram to see the new pump covers...if there's any left   Wanna become a physical specimen of a hallion?   Hit the link below, get some freebies and maybe even join the team of lads and lassies working towards supreme athleticism with the Coach Pig fella: https://linktr.ee/coachpig_highertraining

Check out part I before getting into this one, but seeing as it got more great feedback than any other episode of the podcast I don't think you'll mind throwing an hour or 2 towards both parts. Here's the link to it: https://open.spotify.com/episode/6P7JqUYHGJrJgYBF45SnfS?si=GV3KRNWOSlebue5MQE1F3A   You can totally transform your life when you look after yourself in a holistic way, but that all starts with your behaviours and thoughts. Easier said than done though...   BUT with expert guidance and insight from health & wellbeing boss lady Emma we hope you can piece together the puzzle or at least start the process to a happier and healthier version of you.    I brought Emma in to run an online wellbeing workshop for the Ladies Lifting Club last year and every single woman who attended or watched the recording came away with rave reviews and plenty of actionable advice to take away with them.   Enjoy you wee fool ya!   Make sure to follow Emma: @thepositivityplug_   And us: @thehighertrainingpodcast @coachpig_highertraining   Ladies who want to gain confidence, flourishing health and savage strength should also follow: @ladiesliftingclub_ht

2 hallions of the highest order meet in the same building they held the debate as to whether Ireland should accept Britain's deal to make Ireland a free state, who the fuck let us in here man?!?   Me and Lally were as surprised as each other...   The trad daddy of the Irish rap scene, Jordan Kelly AKA Strangeboy joined me in the National Concert Hall in Dublin to go down the rabbit hole and discuss rap, his upcoming album, the music industry, what keeps his head from being gone and why the fuck he keeps skipping leg day...   I also debuted a new segment for all rappers and rap enthusiasts that I'm pretty sure I should trademark for Christmas next year...stay tuned til the end to catch it    If you claim to like rap music but haven't dug into some of our own talent here, you're a closed minded wee fool. Get digging into Strangeboy now:   "For a man to be content" - his newest tune: https://open.spotify.com/album/2N7BIzwdwDAUk2CWLhjtJL?si=z8jihQtaTQysor6qZK1zVA   "Holy/Unholy" - his 1st EP https://open.spotify.com/album/0RSrDnJNmIRnHeBNVnfR8u?si=S6cJ_suNTHGAIawbahfLSg   Follow Strangeboy on Instagram: @strange_boyyy_   Follow Coach Pig on Instagram: @coachpig_highertraining   If you liked this episode and you think we should do more episodes like this, let us know, share it with your mates and we'll keep the greatness moving folks!  

Two short kings of the health and human performance sphere burn the ear off each other and go down the rabbit hole of injury, athletic therapy vs physiotherapy, achilles ruptures, physical preparation for GAA players and heaps more goodness avic over the course of this conversation live from Seans' rehab and performanceclinic in Dundalk.   I think because he's so good at what he does and his ability to communicate ideas is so developed I forget how young Sean is, and relatively young in the game he's in but I think this podcast gives a good insight into why I refer all my clients to him when they get an injury.   And why I went to him with my own niggles and eventual achilles rupture, more on that in the episode...   Go follow @sohrehabandperformance to keep up with all Sean's goings on or to book in an initial session with him Follow @thehighertrainingpodcast to keep up to date with the podcast and @coachpig_highertraining to catch more of the Pig fella's ideas and guidance on training and performance   Sound!

I am back again for the second episode of the podcast after almost a full year away from podcasts to bring you more interesting chats with wonderfully wild, wacky and wise folk from all walks of life   My guest in this episode is a Yogi, PT, Pilates instructor, love & relationship coach and currently a student in tantric sex/tantra, and as you can tell from her list of qualifications she likes to help people in all aspects of life so she does. Healthy bones, muscles and hearts, and a big bag full of orgasms if you're a client of hers anyway...    She be the witch of the woods!   This one was recorded mostly for my clients to get to know their resident yogi (she records a weekly body positive yoga session for my female clients to do in their own time for those spiritual gangsta gains) and also to learn more about yoga and hear about other aspects of health that they may be neglecting. But it was a great chat that I think anyone interested in health, coaching or spirituality would enjoy.    Let us know what you thought over on Instagram! @coachpig_   Or contact me directly at [email protected]   Download a free 7 day trial to the Higher Training Ladies Lifting Club (online) and get up to 3 days of strength training designed for women, a coach reviewing your lifting videos and giving you feedback to help you get confident and stronger, support with all your health, body composition, weight loss and training goals via webinars, bonus content and chats with your personal coach, weekly yoga videos with Sian, live guided meditations + a community of women like yourself to cheer you on and share in the struggles and triumphs alongside   Hit the link below, fill out the details and join the club for a 7 day try before you buy https://mailchi.mp/highertraining.page/ladies-lifting-club-online
