    EPISODE 38: Why Rob QUIT Social Media

    Each Sunday morning can be pretty ominous and in more ways than one. It's nerve wracking and fills you with dread. You hear a buzz. It's your iPhone. Through squinted eyes you pick up your phone and quickly find yourself overcome with shame. The weekly screen time notification. It gives a new meaning to the Sunday scaries. Rob has recently decided to give up two forms of social media: Facebook and Instagram. There wasn't a major reason or event that instigated Rob to do this. It was mainly a feeling that his life and time was being meaninglessly consumed by social media and the endless scrolling that ensues. We thought we'd sit down and chat a bit more about why Rob decided to do this and some of the positive and negatives that have come with it. This is a really interesting discussion and worth a listen regardless of if you are considering reducing your screen time or not! Topics discussed: – Why Rob decided to delete his Facebook and Instagram accounts – The benefits of reducing social media usage and what Rob uses his extra time for – The things Rob has missed out on and how this has affected him – How Rob would approach deleting social media if he had his time again – What Rob was accused of by some of his friends If you enjoyed this video make sure you check out the TRIAX Performance Social Media accounts!

    EPISODE 37: What Happens When You Mix Yoga with the Pfizer Vaccine?

    The last 2 years have been full of talk surrounding COVID-19 and vaccines, but rest assured, we're not here to add to that. Instead, we gave the stage to Rob who describes his experiences following his first dose of the Pfizer vaccine.  In the days before receiving his vaccine, Rob decided that yoga would be his new hobby. Rob was feeling revitalised, recommending that every man, woman and their dog take up yoga as well. But suddenly, this yoga participation had some somewhat adverse effects on Rob's physical condition and mental stability. For Rob, this lead to a week filled with terror and panic. For Sean and Damo, while some empathy was directed Rob's way, the reaction was pure amusement.  For a free shot at ridiculing Rob, you must listen to this episode of the DeakHeads podcast. You may feel sorry for Rob, you may laugh at him. Honestly, you're probably right either way but we'll let you be the judge.

    EPISODE 36: Velocity Based Training (VBT) & Metric with Jacob Tober

    Velocity based training (VBT) has been simply put as an objective method of analyzing the intensity of a particular exercise. VBT has grown to prominence and can be used to evaluate how well an athlete performed an exercise (e.g., Squat, Deadlift, Bench Press) and even used as a prescription tool for reps and sets. There's a lot of confusion surrounding the term VBT and even the name might not be that accurate to reflect what velocity based training actually is. We can think of VBT as a method that uses the velocity of movement to guide training. But instead of speculating about VBT, we thought we'd get an expert in to explain VBT with us (and also talk about their brilliant new app). It's only taken a year, but the TRIAX boys have their first special guest on the DeakHeads podcast... Jacob Tober, a strength and conditioning coach and sport scientist was gracious enough to come on the DeakHeads podcast to talk all things Velocity based training (VBT). Jacob is the head of research and education at Metric, a revolutionary velocity based training app. Metric enables lifters and coaches to accurately track velocity, range of motion and power using just their smartphone camera. Jacob has also worked as a strength and conditioning coach at Core Advantage Athletic Development since 2013. In this podcast the TRIAX boys and Jacob discuss: - What is Velocity Based Training - Velocity based training explained - How VBT can be used in preseason and in-season - How VBT can be incorporated into the gym program - Using VBT alongside other markers of athlete readiness/wellness (e.g., RPE) - Preparing for your preseason on the back of the COVID hiatus - The Metric App: how it can be used to incorporate VBT into your program and help you as a coach/athlete - Misconceptions of VBT For further information on VBT or the Metric App check out the following links: YouTube: VBT Coach Instagram: @vbtcoach @metricvbt Metric App Private Beta waitlist: https://www.metric.coach/ VBT Course: https://www.vbtcoach.com/  If you enjoyed this video make sure you check out the TRIAX Performance Social Media accounts!

    EPISODE 35: We Ran a Half Marathon with NO TRAINING

    You don't start training for a marathon the night before it starts. But what about a half-marathon? Well, that might be a different story. In this episode of the DeakHeads podcast, Sean and Damo attempted a half-marathon with little to no training. That's right. A couple of exercise and sport science professionals attempted a half-marathon with hardly any training. Can you actually complete a half-marathon with little to no training. Ideally, no. You should not attempt a half marathon without a solid block of aerobic training. But sometimes you just have to go out there and give it a shot. Sean and Damo both completed the 21km in around two hours. Were they sore? Yes. Should they have completed an actual training program? Yes. But in was also in the spirit of a very worth cause. Chris Ross, former Frankston VFL High Performance Manager was recently diagnosed with Motor Neuron Disease at the young age of 31. The Frankston VFL community got around Rossy and raised over $100k for him and his family. A sensational effort. Sean also raised approximately $1500 himself. A commendable feat and one he should be extremely proud of himself for. In this video: - The boys talk about how they felt during different stages of the half-marathon - The points during the race when they felt they couldn't finish the 21km - How they felt after the race - What they did to recover from the half-marathon - How they would train for a half-marathon going forward - What you need to think about when training for your own half marathon - Should you do strength training for running?

    EPISODE 32: 2021 NFL Season Predictions

    The NFL Season is just about to start, so we at TRIAX decided to try and preview the great American game with our wealth of experience... Well Sean knows a lot about the NFL and Rob is more of a novice so it's not all bad. But what we do know for sure is that this season in the NFL is going to be must see TV. Sean is a massive Patriots fan, whilst Rob is a die-hard Indianapolis Colts man - so there's a massive hatred between the two already. But in this video the boys try and predict and preview the upcoming NFL season. AFC and NFC standings are predicted as well as the Super Bowl teams, MVP, offense and defensive players of the year, rookies and even coach of the year! Contrary to popular belief, there is no chat about Australian Punters in the league in this episode so look out for future episodes! Patrick Mahomes seems like a common pick for MVP. The Chiefs seem like a lock for a Super Bowl berth, whilst there's plenty of hype surrounding the San Francisco 49ers. Let us know your predictions for the upcoming NFL season in the comments section. Discussion Points: - Sean's amazing ability to recall the past 20 years worth of MVP trophy winners from 100% pure memory - Rob's Jon Gruden style visor - Sean's Patriots Bias - Rob's Colts Bias - The hype surrounding the San Francisco 49ers - The Miami Dolphins being the multi killers - Not gambling on the first two weeks of the NFL season - The difficulties in picking the low seeds in the NFC - Coach of the Year decisions - Our love of the Spider 2 Y Banana Play If you enjoyed this video make sure you check out the TRIAX Performance Social Media accounts!

    EPISODE 31: R U OK? Day 2021

    R U Ok? It's a simple question and unfortunately one that doesn't get asked enough. Given the strain of the COVID-19 Pandemic and the countless amounts of lockdowns that we all have endured within Australia, our mental health is as important as ever. Each year in Australia the R U OK Day is held in September, raising awareness and starting actual conversations between friends, family and colleagues in maintain and improving mental health. In this special episode of the DeakHeads podcast, Damo and Rob sat down to have a genuine conversation about their own mental health and to check in on how each other is going. There's some brief chat about how working in sport can impact upon your mental health, particularly when living in bubbles, but for the most part its two mates talking about some of their struggles over the past 12-18 months. We hope that this video can spark a conversation to those who watch it and hopefully the viewers can show initiative by checking in on someone they care about.
