  1. Is Toxic Masculinity the Problem or the Solution?

    Is Toxic Masculinity the Problem or the Solution?

    In this episode of the Rokman Podcast, I sit down with BJ Stagner to break down one of the most debated topics right now — toxic masculinity, the rise of the manosphere, and why so many men feel lost, stuck, and unfulfilled.We look at what’s really going on beneath the surface.Men today are being pulled in two directions. On one side, they’re told masculinity is toxic, dangerous, and something to suppress. On the other, they’re sold an extreme version of masculinity built on ego, dominance, and material success.So what’s the truth?We unpack why the rise of the manosphere isn’t the root problem — it’s a reaction. A reaction to a lack of direction, lack of role models, and a lack of real masculinity.And more importantly, we break down what real masculinity actually looks like.💪🏻 Try Rokman's Online Running & Fitness Challenge Platform: https://rokman.co.uk/?utm_campaign=Rokman_YouTube&utm_source=YouTube&utm_medium=Podcast&utm_content=50-BJ-Stagner🏋🏻 Free 6-Week Total Body Strength & Fitness Plan: https://mailchi.mp/rokman/free-bodyweight-plan🎙️Get notified when new Rokman Podcast episodes get released: https://mailchi.mp/rokman/podcast-alerts Connect with BJ: https://www.bjstagner.com

    How to Run Fast at a Low Heart Rate

    In this episode, I sit down with ultra runner, former soldier, and coach Lee Davies to break down one of the most misunderstood concepts in running: how to run faster by slowing down.We dive deep into MAF training (Maximum Aerobic Function), why most people are running their “easy” runs too hard, and how building a proper aerobic base can transform your speed, endurance, and long-term consistency.Lee shares how this approach helped him go from constant injuries to running a 2:57 marathon and consistently podiuming ultra races — all while training at a lower intensity. 💪🏻 Try Rokman's Online Running & Fitness Challenge Platform: https://rokman.co.uk/?utm_campaign=Rokman_YouTube&utm_source=YouTube&utm_medium=Podcast&utm_content=49-lee-davies🏃‍➡️ Download The No-Nonsense 12-Week Running Plan: https://mailchi.mp/rokman/running-plan-35

    WRU S&C Coach Explains How to Train Like a Pro-Athlete

    What does it actually take to train like an elite athlete? In this episode, I sit down with former Welsh international and current strength & conditioning coach for the Wales senior rugby team, Robin Sowden-Taylor, to break down how professional athletes really train… and more importantly, how normal people can apply it without living in a gym. We get into what a real pro training week looks like, why most everyday athletes are doing too much (and getting nowhere), and how you can get better results with less time if you train smarter. Robin also shares stories from his career playing for Wales, what it was like competing with legends, playing alongside Jonah Lomu, and the brutal injury that nearly ended everything. Key takeaways: Why elite athletes only spend ~2.5 hours per week on gym work The biggest mistake everyday athletes make (trying to do everything at once)Why simplicity and consistency beat “perfect” programmesHow to structure your week like a proWhy ego is quietly ruining your progressWhat actually separates good athletes from elite performers💪🏻 Try Rokman's Running & Fitness Challenge Platform: https://rokman.co.uk/?utm_campaign=Rokman_YouTube&utm_source=YouTube&utm_medium=Podcast&utm_content=48-Robin-Sowden-Taylor🏋🏻 Free 6-Week Total Body Strength & Fitness Plan: https://mailchi.mp/rokman/free-bodyweight-plan🏃‍➡️ Download The No-Nonsense 12-Week Running Plan: https://mailchi.mp/rokman/running-plan-35🎙️Get notified when new Rokman Podcast episodes get released: https://mailchi.mp/rokman/podcast-alerts

    Why You Train Hard but Still Look the Same

    In this episode of the Rokman Podcast, I sit down with BJ Stagner — fitness coach, author, church pastor, and all-round deep thinker on discipline, masculinity and fitness. We get into the real purpose of training, why most men think they’re disciplined when they’re not, and how fitness, faith and responsibility actually overlap more than people think. We talk CrossFit vs Hyrox, modern masculinity, denial, discipline and the uncomfortable truth about what actually holds people back. 💪🏻 Try Rokman's Challenge-Driven Training Protocol: https://rokman.co.uk/?utm_campaign=Rokman_YouTube&utm_source=Spotify&utm_medium=Podcast&utm_content=BJ-Stagner🏋🏻 Free 6-Week Total Body Strength & Fitness Plan: https://mailchi.mp/rokman/free-bodyweight-plan🏃‍➡️ Download The No-Nonsense 12-Week Running Plan: https://mailchi.mp/rokman/running-plan-35🎙️Get notified when new Rokman Podcast episodes get released: https://mailchi.mp/rokman/podcast-alerts

    The Real Reason You Can’t Stay Consistent

    In this episode of the Rokman Podcast, Terry sits down with Ollie Olds to strip the nonsense out of mindset, motivation, and self-help. Instead of feel-good quotes or hype-driven advice, this conversation goes into the psychology behind why people struggle to stay consistent, why burnout creeps in even when things look “fine” on the surface, and why change often stalls despite good intentions. Ollie explains how self-sabotage actually works, why motivation is unreliable, and how unconscious patterns quietly pull people back to old behaviours. We talk about discipline versus motivation, the role of discomfort in real change, and why most people don’t fail because they’re lazy, they fail because they don’t understand what’s really driving their behaviour. This episode is for anyone who’s tired of starting strong and falling off, sick of self-help fluff, and looking for a more honest, practical way to build consistency, resilience, and long-term change. No hype. No empty motivation. Just a real conversation about what actually works. 💪🏻 Try my online challenge platform, Rokman: https://rokman.co.uk/?utm_campaign=Rokman_Podcast&utm_source=Spotify&utm_medium=Podcast&utm_content=43-ollie-olds🏋🏻 Free 6-Week Total Body Strength & Fitness Plan: https://mailchi.mp/rokman/free-bodyweight-plan🏃‍➡️ Download The No-Nonsense 12-Week Running Plan: https://mailchi.mp/rokman/running-plan-35
