Transcribe →Is Zone 2 Cardio Really Worth The Hype?
1w ago00:24:28Tap to summarizeA very popular topic. Graham & Angus deep dive into zine 2 cardio. What is the science? Zone 2 cardio (around 60–70% of your maximum heart rate) encourages your body to use fat as its primary fuel while improving the efficiency of your aerobic system. It increases your capacity to burn fat over time, and although a calorie deficit is still essential for fat loss, Zone 2 is a sustainable, low-fatigue way to support it. Angus & Graham use this exercise constantly.💪 Lift for Life is a podcast about how weight training transforms more than just your body.🔔 Subscribe for weekly episodes on lifting, mindset, and real talk from two guys who've lived it.___🏋️Ready to stop winging it and start training with purpose, clarity and support? https://jc9cc7oe7jf.typeform.com/to/feOjPDNj-⚫ Get in touch in the comments below or head to...Instagram: Lift For Life - https://www.instagram.com/the_liftforlife_podcast/Instagram: Angus Warburton - https://www.instagram.com/angus_warburton/Instagram: Graham Ambrose - https://www.instagram.com/liftforlife.gdog/

Transcribe →Men’s Mental Health
Jun 2500:43:17Tap to summarizeMen often experience serious mental health problems, but are less likely to seek help, discuss their struggles, or access treatment. In the UK, around 75% of suicides are male, making suicide one of the leading causes of death in younger and middle-aged men. Traditional expectations of masculinity can discourage help-seeking. Many men are still socialised to be self-reliant, stoic and emotionally controlled. These traits can make it harder to admit vulnerability or ask for support when needed. Angus & Graham discuss the topic broadly, their own journeys and how they have benefited from their relationship.In this episode, they cover:- Why men are less likely to seek help or talk about their struggles- The role traditional masculinity plays in keeping men silent- Their own personal experiences and what changed for them- How lifting has impacted their mental health, confidence and outlook on life💪 Lift for Life is a podcast about how weight training transforms more than just your body.🔔 Subscribe for weekly episodes on lifting, mindset, and real talk from two guys who've lived it.-Ready to stop winging it and start training with purpose, clarity and support? https://jc9cc7oe7jf.typeform.com/to/feOjPDNj_⚫ Get in touch in the comments below or head to...Instagram: Lift For Life - https://www.instagram.com/the_liftforlife_podcast/Instagram: Angus Warburton - https://www.instagram.com/angus_warburton/Instagram: Graham Ambrose - https://www.instagram.com/liftforlife.gdog/

Transcribe →How To Stop Binging On Weekends
May 2800:25:39Tap to summarizeAngus & Graham emphasise that calories only matter over time, not in a single meal. You can eat well Monday to Friday, but if weekends turn into a free-for-all, it can wipe out the entire week’s deficit without you realising. A couple of takeaways, excess alcohol, desserts and mindless snacking can easily add thousands of extra calories. The goal is consistency, not perfection. They enjoy weekends, but stay aware. Keep portions sensible, prioritise protein, and avoid the “I’ll start again Monday” mindset. Fat loss comes from what you repeatedly do, not what you occasionally do.- Ready to stop winging it and start training with purpose, clarity and support? https://jc9cc7oe7jf.typeform.com/to/feOjPDNj-⚫ Get in touch in the comments below or head to...Instagram: Lift For Life - https://www.instagram.com/the_liftforlife_podcast/Instagram: Angus Warburton - https://www.instagram.com/angus_warburton/Instagram: Graham Ambrose - https://www.instagram.com/liftforlife.gdog/
