A health and fitness podcast that doesn't take itself too seriously, but also shine's a light on the mind side of the "body and mind" ethos that we’re about here at Higher Training. You'll be sure to make some serious brain gains but that will only be a small part of it. No topic is safe from being talked about whether it be mental health, music, sport or whatever decides to poke its wee head up in conversation. I'll be bringing in people from all walks of life to talk about their story, have a laugh and to learn some lesson's along the way. I hope you all enjoy the journey!

This was a big one for me, first combat athlete on the podcast and the first time that both people on the podcast had their nips out (or anyone to be fair). Double whammy!!
We had a good chat about his style of training, early Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu lessons and the role of strength in the sport.
I hope you enjoy the podcast amigos!

Chloe Brennan - Episode 5 This episode I’ve been lucky enough to be joined by Chloe Brennan, England’s reigning strongest woman. Competing in the lightweight category she has also recently placed 4th at the Arnold Classic, an amazing feat for a 24-year-old. We had a very interesting chat about her early days in strongwoman, why women should do strength training and how it doesn’t make you bulky. Women like Chloe are kicking gender stereotypes in the bollox and it was great to hear what it’s been like for her to excel in what is seen as a predominantly male sport
