    Send a Message to the Big Lad!

    After Nico gets the hump about last nights loss, Chade's left alone to talk about some of the protein-providing foods he loves. Working his way through the alphabet Chade lets us know which ones are his favourites, and gives you a nice long list to add to your daily intake! Some of his old faves turn up (broad beans, the old champions, m the eggs!) as well as new ones (Edamame!!!).

  • Summer Vacation Pre-Chat
    Jul 8 2024

    Send a Message to the Big Lad!

    As Chade prepares for his summer holiday (or vacation to our American listener, that's right, we still see you!), the lads chat about some of their favourite food to grab abroad and what Chade can look out for in Cyprus.

    In true DoaBL fashion, waffle ensues and they only cover about two countries, but a darn good waffle and two countries they chat about-none-less.

  • Momentum: The Momentum Of Truth
    Jun 17 2024

    Send a Message to the Big Lad!

    This week it's all about GAINING MOMENTUM!! Chade talks about how positive, as well as negative momentum can be affecting your performance and how he keeps his on the positive side.

    Chade and Nico also talk about pretzels and far too much about Pringles. We are neither sponsored or affiliated with any pretzel manufacture or Kellanova, owner of Pringles (although a podcaster can dream....)

  • Creating a 60 Day Plan - FULL
    Jun 10 2024

    Send a Message to the Big Lad!

    Hello! Remember when Chade did a 3 part episode detailing how to put together a 60 Day Plan to achieve your goals? Well, so you don't have click and slide your way through 3 separate episodes, as promised, here's all three in one omnibus, like an educational Eastenders.

    They're the same eps, but separated by a short jingle to give you time to pause, complete the tasks, then move onto the next section with the greatest of ease. It's easier than 1, 2, 3. It's literally just as easy as.....1.

  • TDEE! Total Daily Energy Expenditure
    Jun 3 2024

    Send a Message to the Big Lad!

    Chade explains what on Earth TDEE is and breaks down how to calculate YOUR numbers. It’s a lot more technical than our usual episodes so it might be worth having a pen and paper/notetaking device for this one!

    If you've ever asked yourself 'How can I calculate my maintenance calories?', wondered how you calculate your specific calorie deficit, or simply want an episode explaining what a BMR calculator is, then this is definitely the one for you!
