    Which Sitcom Characters Are We? + Is Winter Bulking Actually Worth It?

    Welcome back to The Boys Who Get It Podcast with hosts MP, Dwayne, and Christian. This one starts with a peek behind the curtain. The guys work out which characters from New Girl and Psych they're most like, and settle once and for all why nobody in the group can pick a place to eat. Then they get into the holiday season: travelling home, keeping up the gym away from your routine, the winter bulk, and why it's fine to have that extra slice of pie. Questions AnsweredHow Do You Stay on Track With the Gym When You Go Home for the Holidays? The guys talk about how hard it is to track food and train when you're out of your usual routine, especially when you have to fly home. Dwayne brings a cooler of food when he visits and deals with his mum guarding her kitchen. They also discuss how hard it can be to explain your goals to family who aren't into the gym, and the pressure of turning up looking bigger on a bulk. Is a Winter Bulk  Necessary? The guys admit they thought the winter bulk was mandatory when they first started lifting, and that it was often just an excuse to eat everything over the holidays. Dwayne says he's been in a bulk for most of his gym life anyway, so he's having the pie regardless. They agree that a few days at maintenance won't undo months of work. Is It Okay to Indulge Over the Holidays? MP points out how differently people get treated at the dinner table: the gym guy going back for a third slice gets a pass, while a heavier relative gets a lecture. The guys talk about family drama and how much the holidays change as you get older. They finish on having a flexible relationship with food. Unless you're on prep for a show, enjoy the holidays and don't try to "earn" your food with extra hours in the gym. Who This Episode Is For This episode is perfect for: Anyone travelling home for the holidays and worried about their routinePeople wondering if they need to do a winter bulkGym-goers who feel guilty about eating over Thanksgiving or ChristmasAnyone who finds it hard to explain their fitness goals to familyFriend groups who can never decide where to eatEpisode Chapters 00:00 - Intro: Which TV Characters Are We? 02:50 - Breaking Down Gus, Winston & Coach 05:47 - MP's Pick: Shawn or Schmidt? 07:37 - Why Nobody Can Make a Decision 11:06 - Gym Life Over the Holidays & Travelling Home 17:01 - Is the Winter Bulk Real? 20:13 - The Gym Bro vs Everyone Else at the Dinner Table 23:28 - Being Flexible With Food Over the Holidays 25:42 - Outro #gympodcast #winterbulk #holidayfitness #mensfitness Follow & Subscribe If you enjoyed this episode: Subscribe for future episodesLeave a reviewShare this episode with a friendWatch the full video version on YouTube for the full experienceWelcome to the community.

Questions Answered Why Do Fitness Influencers Feel Pressure to Look a Certain Way? Christian explains how some creators stay lean all year because their income depends on it.

All three still see themselves as skinny. Christian tracks strength and how his clothes fit, Dwayne has learned it's okay to miss the gym, and MP admits compliments rarely stick, even from bigger guys. How Do We Fix Body Image Issues?

    Masculinity & Gym Culture: What It Means to Be a Man

    Be a ManWhat does masculinity actually mean in 2026? This week, the guys unpack their own ideas of masculinity, how those ideas have changed since growing up, and why being strong and confident doesn’t have to mean hiding your emotions. They also explore gym culture, the pressure to look and act “manly,” self-expression, fashion, and whether some traditional masculine traits are worth keeping. Questions AnsweredWhat Does Masculinity Mean Today?MP, Dwayne, and Christian compare their current ideas of masculinity with what they learned growing up. They discuss vulnerability, showing emotion, confidence, responsibility and accountability, as well as the idea of “progressive masculinity”: keeping positive masculine traits without the unhealthy expectations that can sometimes come with them. Are Traditional Masculine Roles Always a Bad Thing?The guys discuss the traditional expectation that men should be providers and whether the intention behind it matters. Is wanting to provide for the people you love positive, or does it become unhealthy when it’s about power, status or needing to earn more than your partner? How Does Gym Culture Affect Masculinity?The gym can be a heavily masculine environment, but does being stronger actually make you more of a man? The guys talk about tying your identity to how much you bench, how big you are, or whether you're stronger than someone else. They also discuss women in strength training, insecurity, “alpha male” culture and why masculinity should have more to do with how you treat people. Can Men Express Themselves Without Feeling Less Masculine?From crop tops and earrings to bags and experimenting with different clothes, the guys discuss how their own style has changed as they’ve become more comfortable with themselves. They explore why certain forms of self-expression were once labelled feminine and why being secure enough to try something different can be a positive thing. Who This Episode Is ForThis episode is perfect for: Men questioning traditional ideas of masculinityGym-goers navigating “alpha male” fitness cultureAnyone interested in masculinity and self-expressionGuys learning to be more comfortable with vulnerabilityMen who feel pressure to look, act or dress a certain wayAnyone interested in how gym culture shapes male identityListeners looking for a more positive approach to masculinityEpisode Chapters00:00 - Intro & Who’s the Best Athlete? 08:11 - What Does Masculinity Mean to Us? 10:57 - Vulnerability, Emotions & Being a Man 12:44 - Masculinity & Gym Culture 15:49 - Toxic Masculinity, Strength & Insecurity 19:00 - Men, Fashion & Self-Expression 20:52 - Masculinity & Male Role Models 36:28 - Friendships, Confidence & Final Thoughts

    How to Find Your Own Style (Without Copying Everyone Else)

    Welcome back to The Boys Who Get It Podcast with hosts MP, Dwayne, and Christian. This week, the guys step outside their usual fitness conversations to talk about men’s fashion, both inside and outside the gym. They discuss why men’s gym wear can feel repetitive, experimenting with different styles, finding fashion inspiration, and why spending more money doesn’t necessarily mean dressing better. Before all that, they tackle a bigger question: can you separate the art from the artist? Questions AnsweredCan You Separate the Art From the Artist? The guys open with a discussion about whether it’s possible to continue enjoying someone’s music, fashion, or other work after they’ve done something you strongly disagree with. Using examples including Kanye West and R. Kelly, they discuss where they personally draw the line and whether continuing to consume someone’s work still counts as supporting them. Why Is Men’s Gym Fashion So Repetitive? Moving into fashion, MP, Dwayne, and Christian discuss the current state of men’s gym wear and why so many outfits seem to follow the same formula. They talk about oversized clothing, pajama bottoms, cropped tops, proportions, skull caps and bringing more personal style into the gym. They also ask whether brands need to offer more interesting options or whether men need to create the demand for them first. How Do You Find Your Own Style? The guys share some of their own fashion influences and discuss why copying somebody else’s look doesn’t always work. They get into finding inspiration from people with similar body types, experimenting with accessories, shoes, hair, piercings and tattoos, and the difference between simply wearing clothes and actually styling them. Ultimately, personal style comes from trying things and figuring out what works for you. Who This Episode Is For This episode is perfect for: Guys looking to improve their personal styleGym-goers bored of wearing the same outfitsAnyone looking for men’s gym fashion inspirationPeople unsure where to find their own styleAnyone interested in streetwear and men’s fashionGuys who want to experiment more with clothes and accessoriesListeners who think men’s fashion could be more interestingEpisode Chapters 00:00 - Intro & Separating the Art From the Artist 01:15 - Kanye West: Separating The Art from the Artist 08:04 - The State of Men’s Fashion 08:37 - Why Is Men’s Gym Fashion So Repetitive? 10:11 - Cropped Tops, Proportions & Experimenting in the Gym 11:35 - Favourite & Least Favourite Gym Fashion Trends 12:18 - Finding Inspiration for Better Gym Fits 14:30 - Personal Style & Fashion Inspiration 16:50 - Grills, Accessories & Making a Look Your Own 18:00 - Finding Fashion Role Models 23:02 - Does Spending More Make You More Fashionable? 24:05 - Wearing Clothes vs Styling Clothes 25:20 - Experimenting With Your Look 29:54 - Final Thoughts & Outro #gympodcast #mensfashion #gymfashion Follow & Subscribe If you enjoyed this episode: Subscribe for future episodesLeave a reviewShare this episode with a friendWatch the full video version on YouTube for the full experienceWelcome to the community.

    Why Do Anime and Gym Culture Go Together So Well?

    Welcome back to The Boys Who Get It Podcast with hosts MP, Dwayne, and Christian. This week, the guys dive into the surprisingly big crossover between anime, gym culture and modern ideas about masculinity and self-improvement. Why do so many people who love the gym also love anime, and are some of its biggest lessons getting completely misunderstood? The conversation covers everything from Demon Slayer, My Hero Academia and Vinland Saga to Naruto, Mob Psycho 100 and Attack on Titan. The guys discuss why strength goes beyond your physique, the importance of friendship and emotional growth, and why becoming a better person requires work outside the gym too. Questions AnsweredWhy Are Anime and Gym Culture So Connected?The guys discuss why anime has become such a big part of modern gym culture. From training edits and motivational clips to characters built around discipline and perseverance, there are plenty of reasons the two worlds overlap. They also look at what happens when people focus on strength and aggression while missing the friendship, vulnerability and emotional growth behind many of these characters. What Can Anime Teach You About Self-Improvement?Using characters and stories from Demon Slayer, My Hero Academia, Vinland Saga, Naruto and Mob Psycho 100, MP, Dwayne and Christian explore different ideas of strength. They discuss kindness, accepting help, emotional maturity, friendship and why becoming a better person involves more than getting physically stronger. Is There More to Getting Stronger Than Going to the Gym?The conversation moves from anime into bodybuilding and the work that happens outside the gym. Diet, recovery, mental resilience, relationships and having a good support system all play a role. The guys discuss why even elite bodybuilders rely on other people and why improving yourself involves more than building your physique.

    The Ultimate Gym Diet: How to Bulk, Cut & Build Muscle

    Welcome back to The Boys Who Get It Podcast with hosts MP, Dwayne, and Christian. This week, the guys break down one of the biggest parts of making progress in the gym: your diet. They discuss bulking, cutting, maintenance calories, mass gainers, calorie tracking, and the mistakes they’ve made along the way. Before getting into the fitness talk, they also settle an important debate: what actually makes someone a sneakerhead? Questions AnsweredWhat’s the Difference Between Bulking, Cutting & Maintenance?MP, Dwayne, and Christian explain the basics of changing your calorie intake depending on your goals. They discuss why understanding your maintenance calories matters, how TDEE calculators can give you a starting point, and why knowing how much you’re actually eating is important whether you’re trying to gain or lose weight. What’s the Best Way to Bulk?The guys compare dirty bulking with a more controlled approach to gaining weight. They discuss why eating everything in sight can make the scale move quickly but also create problems later, and why gradually increasing your calorie intake can make a bulk much easier to manage. They also get into mass gainers, liquid calories, finding foods you actually enjoy, and making a higher-calorie diet sustainable. How Can You Make Cutting Easier?When it comes to losing weight, the guys discuss calorie deficits, high-volume foods, meal frequency, intermittent fasting, and finding lower-calorie alternatives to the foods you enjoy. They share some of their favorite cutting snacks and recipes, including rice cakes, diet drinks, homemade brownies, and other ways to satisfy cravings while keeping calories under control. Who This Episode Is ForThis episode is perfect for: Beginners learning the difference between bulking and cuttingAnyone trying to work out their maintenance caloriesPeople considering their first bulk or cutAnyone struggling to eat enough during a bulkPeople looking for ways to make a calorie deficit easierGym-goers confused by dieting advice on social mediaAnyone looking for honest, experience-based fitness adviceEpisode Chapters00:00 - Intro 02:10 - What Makes Someone a Sneakerhead? 10:06 - Dieting for the Gym 11:08 - Knowing How Much You’re Actually Eating 13:00 - How Should You Approach a Bulk? 14:09 - Dirty Bulking vs Clean Bulking 16:01 - Finding Your Maintenance Calories 17:06 - TDEE & Total Daily Energy Expenditure 18:16 - Making a Bulk Easier & Finding the Right Foods 21:13 - How Should You Approach a Cut? 23:06 - High-Volume Foods & Staying Full 23:56 - The Problem With Aggressive Cuts 25:49 - Favorite Low-Calorie Snacks & Cutting Foods 27:24 - Making Bulking & Cutting Sustainable 30:43 - Final Advice & Outro Follow & SubscribeIf you enjoyed this episode: Subscribe for future episodesLeave a reviewShare this episode with a friendWatch the full video version on YouTube for the full experienceWelcome to the community.

    Why Making Friends Gets Harder in Your 20s & 30s (And How to Fix It)

    Welcome back to The Boys Who Get It Podcast with hosts MP, Dwayne, and Christian. As life gets busier, maintaining friendships as an adult can become surprisingly difficult. In this episode, the guys talk about how they've stayed close through their 20s despite living in different places, developing new interests, and dealing with increasingly busy schedules. They also get into gym fashion, finding your own style, and some of the strangest outfits they've seen people wear while working out. Questions AnsweredHow Do You Maintain Friendships as an Adult?MP, Dwayne, and Christian reflect on what's kept their friendship going over the years. They discuss making time to FaceTime, play games, check in, and stay involved in each other's lives even when they can't meet up regularly. Do Shared Interests Help Friendships Last?The gym has played a big role in keeping the guys connected, alongside shared interests like tattoos, anime, music, concerts, fashion, and gaming. They discuss how common interests can give you more reasons to stay in touch while still allowing everyone to develop their own hobbies. How Do Friendships Change as You Get Older?Adult friendships often mean accepting that people get busy, priorities change, and you won't always see each other as regularly as you once did. The guys discuss growing alongside your friends, making an effort to stay connected, and why maintaining a friendship requires effort from everyone involved. Does Gym Fashion Matter?The guys also talk about how their approach to gym fashion has changed over the years. From oversized fits and tight shirts to dressing for your body type, they discuss finding your own style and having the confidence to wear what you like.

    Why has the Gym Community Become So Cringe

    Welcome back to The Boys Who Get It Podcast with hosts MP, Dwayne, and Christian. In this episode, the guys take a slightly different approach to fitness and ask a simple question: why has the gym community become so cringe? From alpha-male fitness culture and unnecessary suffering to pre-workout, gym music, spatial awareness, and people using the gym to creep on others, MP, Dwayne, and Christian break down some of the behaviours that make them stop and think, "what are we doing?" Questions AnsweredWhat Are the Cringiest Gym Mistakes You've Made?MP, Dwayne, and Christian admit to some of their own fitness mistakes, including lifting weights they couldn't handle, bad squat form, quarter squats, and trying to impress other people in the gym. They also discuss why looking back at your old gym videos can be painful, but is probably a normal part of progressing from a beginner to a more experienced lifter. Is Listening to Music at the Gym Cheating?Gym music and headphones come under fire as the guys discuss the idea that "raw dogging" a workout without music somehow makes you tougher. They talk about why listening to music can help with training, why the type of music you enjoy matters, and the difference between personal music and having the gym's music blasting through the entire building. What Is Bad Gym Etiquette?The conversation moves into some of the everyday behaviours that make gym sessions unnecessarily frustrating. The guys discuss roughhousing in busy gyms, knocking over bags and water bottles, walking directly into people's space, and generally having zero spatial awareness. They explain why being aware of the people around you is one of the most important parts of good gym etiquette.
