Men 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/

A basic level of nutrition knowledge is often missing from some highly educated and successful people. This results in obesity that they often blame on “genetics”. One doesn’t need to spend one’s entire life planning and tracking calories. Angus & Graham discuss some simple strategies for becoming and staying lean, whilst continuing to enjoy food and drink, and eating out at restaurants.-

Angus & 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/

Graham discusses whether Angus could be replaced by a bot. They talk about the advantages of AI trainers and what added value a human can give. There are clear financial advantages in not having a human trainer, but the motivation, lifting form and emotional context are hard to replicate virtually. Angus is surprisingly positive on AI as an additional tool in training.-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/

Graham uses and Apple Watch to monitor his steps and once used a whoop but gave up. He and Angus discuss their experiences with fitness trackers. While such devices, including and smart watches, can encourage healthier habits, they also have notable downsides. Constant monitoring of steps, calories, sleep, and heart rate can create anxiety and an unhealthy obsession with data, leading some people to prioritise numbers over how they actually feel. -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/

Angus and Graham detail the 80:20 life. Graham notices that Angus’ knowledge of Pareto is lacking. Some people go all in and some do nothing. Life is all about balance in nutrition, fitness and fun. They discuss their own journeys and how they have come to understand the joy of a healthy, balanced life where your fitness amplifies the rest of your time.-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/

So many people underestimate their calorie consumption. The result is that they go on stop-start fad diets then revert to norm. Angus & Graham discuss permanent, consistent change to improve body composition and physical appearance. The gym and exercise alone is not the solution.-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/

What is the difference between men and women? Graham & Angus explain that both sexes should consider how they feel on training days. Some days will be more cardio focussed and some more weights. You may feel like you have the ability to go hard on some days and not on others. Training consistently is the goal but you do need to adapt. This could be due to a lack of sleep, stress at work or your menstrual cycle.-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/
