A fond welcome back to UK CrossFit coaches, nutrionists & athletes, Jordan Wallace, Paul Warrior and Tim Briggs. This week, I wanted to dissect their views on mindset in sport. An athlete's performance in CrossFit, Powerlifting, Endurance Racing and many pursuits is heavily mediated by their mental game, but can you teach it? Or is mental toughness an innate skill you either have or you don't? As usual we got distracted and wildly careered off-topic. Expect to hear some very contrasting views on mindset for sports, their frank & honest feedback after the 2018 CrossFit Regionals, and what their opinions are on Adam Collard's performance on Love Island.

Yusef from PropaneFitness.com joins me as we navigate the perilous waters of cutting for a holiday. We've all been there.

Expect to find out our hard-learned solutions after years of making errors during a summer cut, get a grip on a training protocol and calorie deficit which allows you to still function pre-holiday, and learn the optimal weekly weight loss target you should be aiming for to safely lose fat.

Today we put the lacrosse balls down, and look to science for the answer. Expect to learn what ACTUALLY improves your mobility, why your warmup routine can be shorter than you think and why that £500 Massage Gun might not be a worthwhile investment.
