    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.

    The Top Gym Influencers of All Time — Who Is the G.O.A.T.?

    In this episode, the guys debate one of the biggest questions in the fitness world: who is the GOAT of gym influencers? MP, Dwayne, and Christian discuss what actually makes someone a great fitness creator, from the quality of their content and the value they provide to longevity, authenticity, education, and their ability to build a genuine community.

Questions AnsweredWhat Makes Someone the GOAT of Fitness?The guys break down what they look for when deciding whether a gym influencer deserves GOAT status. They discuss the importance of content quality, audience size, value, longevity, education, and consistency, while questioning whether having an impressive physique or a large following is enough. Why Is Noel Deyzel One of the Best Fitness Influencers?The guys discuss Noel Deyzel and what makes his content stand out, particularly his transparency around steroid use, supplements, physique, and the realities of getting bigger. They also praise his willingness to speak directly to younger men and challenge the idea that having a huge physique automatically makes someone better than everybody else. What Makes a Good Gym Influencer?One of the biggest themes throughout the episode is that being a successful gym influencer is about more than having a good physique. The guys discuss why the best creators continue to evolve, improve their content, communicate well with their audience, and build something that can last beyond a single viral video or impressive body part..

    How to Choose a Personal Trainer: Red Flags, Green Flags & What to Look For

    Choosing a personal trainer can be harder than it looks. With countless trainers offering in-person and online coaching, how do you know who you can actually trust? In this episode of The Boys Who Get It, MP, Dwayne and Christian break down what beginners should look for when choosing a personal trainer, drawing on their combined 30+ years of gym experience and their own backgrounds as personal trainers. The boys discuss the biggest personal trainer red flags, including trainers who try to sell you a programme before understanding your goals, use a one-size-fits-all approach, become defensive when questioned, or focus more on their own appearance and reputation than their clients. Whether you're completely new to the gym, considering hiring a personal trainer, or looking for an online fitness coach, this episode is designed to help you make a more informed decision and avoid wasting your time and money. What You'll Learn in This EpisodeHow to choose the right personal trainer for your goalsThe biggest red flags to look for when hiring a personal trainerWhy a trainer's physique doesn't necessarily make them a good coachWhy personal training should never be a one-size-fits-all approachWhat are some green flags to look for when hiring a personal trainerWhat Are the Red Flags When Choosing a Personal Trainer?One of the biggest red flags is a trainer trying to sell you a programme before understanding anything about you. A good personal trainer should want to know about your schedule, current training, nutrition, goals and circumstances before prescribing a solution. What Makes a Good Personal Trainer?According to MP, Dwayne and Christian, a good personal trainer should be able to do more than demonstrate exercises or explain one aspect of fitness. A good coach should understand the mechanics behind training, explain exercises clearly, adapt their approach to the individual and help the client actually achieve their goals. How Can You Tell if a Personal Trainer Is Legit?One of the simplest ways is to look at their previous work. The boys recommend looking for evidence that a trainer has successfully worked with different types of clients, rather than only showcasing their own physique or transformations involving already-experienced lifters. Client testimonials, progress photos and examples of people with different starting points can all help demonstrate whether a trainer has experience helping people with goals similar to yours.

    The Most Overrated Gym Exercises & What to Do Instead

    Welcome back to The Boys Who Get It Podcast with hosts MP, Dwayne (DJ), and Christian (CJ). In this episode, the boys tackle one of the most opinionated topics in fitness: the most overrated gym exercises. Drawing on their combined 30 years of lifting experience, they break down the exercises they believe are holding people back, explain why they think they're overused, and recommend better alternatives for building muscle more efficiently. Before diving into the fitness discussion, the guys also recap the latest Love Island finale before shifting gears into practical, no-nonsense gym advice. Whether you're new to training or looking to optimise your workouts, this episode is packed with honest opinions and actionable takeaways. Questions AnsweredWhat Are the Most Overrated Chest Exercises?The boys kick things off by discussing chest training and explain why some popular pressing and fly variations aren't as effective as many people believe. They talk about common technique mistakes, poor range of motion, and why choosing exercises that provide better stability and muscle tension can lead to better hypertrophy. Which Back Exercises Should You Avoid?MP, Dwayne, and Christian discuss several rowing movements that they believe are often performed incorrectly. They explain why loading heavy dumbbells doesn't always equal better results and recommend more stable alternatives that allow you to focus on training your back rather than simply moving weight. Are Concentration Curls Worth Doing?The conversation moves into arm training, where the hosts debate the value of concentration curls. They discuss the limitations of the exercise, why many people rely on it unnecessarily, and which bicep movements they feel provide more consistent muscle growth. What Leg Exercises Are Overrated?The guys share their thoughts on popular squat variations, including the king squat and other movements they rarely programme. They explain why some exercises become limited by grip strength or balance before the target muscles are challenged and offer alternatives that are easier to progressively overload. How Should You Choose the Right Exercises?Throughout the episode, the hosts emphasise that there are very few "bad" exercises. Instead, they encourage listeners to choose movements that match their goals, allow for progressive overload, and can be performed consistently with good technique.

    The Dark Side of Getting in Shape

    Welcome back to The Boys Who Get It Podcast with hosts MP, Dwayne (DJ), and Christian (CJ). Body dysmorphia is one of the most common yet least talked-about struggles in fitness. Whether you're just starting your gym journey or you've been lifting for years, the feeling of never being lean enough, muscular enough, or satisfied with your physique can affect anyone. In this honest and vulnerable episode, the boys open up about their own experiences with body dysmorphia, how it shaped their relationship with the gym, and why chasing the "perfect physique" can become an endless cycle. Questions AnsweredWhat Is Body Dysmorphia?The boys explain what body dysmorphia actually is and why it's far more common than many people realise. They discuss how someone can appear fit and muscular to everyone else while still seeing flaws every time they look in the mirror, and why these feelings often persist regardless of physical progress. Does Body Dysmorphia Ever Go Away?Drawing from their own experiences, MP, Dwayne and Christian discuss whether body dysmorphia ever truly disappears or simply changes over time. They share how those thoughts have followed them throughout their fitness journeys and why many lifters continue to struggle despite reaching goals they once dreamed of. How Does Social Media Affect Body Image?The conversation explores the impact of fitness influencers, curated physiques, and constantly comparing yourself to others online. The boys explain why social media can distort expectations and why remembering that everyone has insecurities is essential for maintaining perspective. Can the Gym Become an Unhealthy Obsession?The hosts discuss how fitness can shift from a positive habit into something that dominates your life. They talk about missing social events, tying self-worth to physique, and the importance of finding balance without giving up your fitness goals. How Can You Build a Healthier Relationship With Fitness?The episode finishes with practical advice on focusing on long-term progress, appreciating how far you've come, avoiding constant comparison, and remembering that your value isn't determined by your physique alone. Who This Episode Is ForThis episode is perfect for: Anyone struggling with body image or body dysmorphiaBeginners starting their fitness journeyExperienced gym-goers who never feel satisfied with their progressPeople who compare themselves to fitness influencers onlineAnyone interested in the mental health side of fitnessLifters looking to build a healthier relationship with the gymPeople who want honest, experience-based conversations about fitnessEpisode Chapters00:00 - Intro 01:11 - Why We're Talking About Body Dysmorphia 01:46 - What Body Dysmorphia Feels Like 03:15 - Why It Never Really Goes Away 06:40 - The Beginning of Our Fitness Journeys 10:18 - Social Media, Comparison & Unrealistic Expectations 15:12 - When Fitness Becomes an Obsession 20:08 - Building a Healthier Mindset Around Training 25:18 - Advice for Anyone Struggling With Body Image 29:08 - Final Thoughts & Outro #gympodcast #bodydysmorphia #fitnesspodcast Follow & SubscribeIf you enjoyed this episode: Subscribe for future episodes.Leave a review.Share this episode with someone who needs to hear this conversation.Watch the full video version on YouTube for the complete discussion.Welcome to the community.

    Workout Splits Explained: PPL, Upper/Lower & Bro Split

    Welcome back to The Boys Who Get It Podcast with hosts MP, Dwayne (DJ), and Christian (CJ). This week, the boys break down one of the most common questions beginners ask when starting the gym: what workout split should you follow? They explain the most popular training splits, discuss the pros and cons of each, and share the mistakes they made when they first started lifting so you don't have to. Along the way, the conversation also takes a detour into gym fashion, embarrassing workout outfits, sneaker culture, and why looking good can sometimes help you feel more confident in the gym. Questions AnsweredWhat Is a Workout Split?MP, Dwayne, and Christian explain exactly what a workout split is and why having a structured training plan is better than walking into the gym without a clear direction. They discuss how your split should reflect your schedule, goals, recovery, and training experience rather than copying someone else's routine. Which Workout Split Is Best for Beginners?The guys compare some of the most popular workout splits, including full body routines, upper/lower splits, Push Pull Legs (PPL), and the traditional bro split. They explain why beginners don't need complicated programs and why consistency matters far more than finding the "perfect" split. Is the Bro Split Still Worth Doing?The boys discuss why so many people start with the classic bro split and whether training one muscle group per day is actually the most effective approach. They explain why training frequency, recovery, and available time often make other splits a better option for most lifters. Who This Episode Is ForThis episode is perfect for: Beginners trying to choose their first workout splitAnyone confused by Push Pull Legs, Upper/Lower, or Bro SplitsPeople returning to the gym after time awayBusy professionals trying to fit workouts around their scheduleGym-goers wondering how often they should train each muscle groupEpisode Chapters00:00 – Intro 01:00 – Our Most Embarrassing Gym Fits 05:40 – What Is a Workout Split? 06:40 – Choosing a Split Based on Your Schedule 08:00 – Why Your Goals Matter 10:00 – The Guys’ Favorite Splits 12:20 – What Is a Bro Split? 16:30 – Which Workout Split Is Best for Beginners? 17:30 – Beginner Mistakes We've Learned From 19:00 – General Advice for Building a Split 25:00 – The Myth of High Volume 29:00 – Final Thoughts and Outro #gympodcast #workoutsplit #fitnesspodcast #gym #beginnerfitness
