    EP. 157 | Lee Boyce | Why Your Body Type Changes How You Should Train

    What if the reason an exercise isn't working for you has nothing to do with your effort and everything to do with how your body is built?  In this episode of the ALLSMITH Podcast, Bryce Smith sits down with Lee Boyce, internationally published strength coach, fitness educator, and co-author of Strength Training for All Body Types: The Science of Lifting and Levers, to explore why effective strength training should never be one-size-fits-all.  Lee has spent years helping people understand how their individual biomechanics, body proportions, injury histories, and physical capabilities influence the way they train.  From squatting with long femurs to modifying traditional strength exercises, Lee explains why two people can perform the same movement and experience completely different physical demands.  But this conversation goes far beyond exercise technique.  Bryce and Lee explore the psychology behind consistency, the influence of social media on fitness expectations, the importance of individualized coaching, and why chasing someone else's definition of success can interfere with your own progress.  They also discuss the realities of long-term athletic development, including how training priorities evolve with age, why strength should support your quality of life, and how to recognize when an exercise needs to be modified rather than forced.  Throughout the conversation, Bryce and Lee explore:  Why body proportions and biomechanics matter in strength training How height and limb length influence squats, deadlifts, and other exercises Why traditional lifting techniques don’t work equally well for everyone Strength training modifications for taller athletes The relationship between exercise selection and injury history How to build effective, individualized training programs Why consistency matters more than social media validation The dangers of comparing your fitness journey to someone else’s How personal trainers can build trust through better coaching Why some popular exercises may not be appropriate for every individual The difference between training for performance and training for longevity How to adapt your training as your body and priorities change The importance of critical thinking in fitness and coaching  One of the most important ideas from this conversation is that every exercise should serve the person performing it. Not the other way around. Lee explains how coaches can evaluate movement patterns, identify limitations, and select exercise variations that work with an individual’s body instead of forcing everyone into the same training model. Whether you’re a personal trainer, strength coach, athlete, or someone simply trying to train smarter, this episode offers a different perspective on what effective strength training should look like. Because building strength isn’t about copying someone else’s program. It’s about understanding your body, developing your capabilities, and creating a training approach that supports the life you want to live.  ABOUT LEE BOYCE  Lee Boyce is a Toronto-based strength coach, fitness educator, speaker, and internationally published fitness writer.

    EP. 155 | Juliet Starrett | Build a Body That Can Say Yes to Adventure

    What if the goal of fitness wasn't to get better at fitness - but to build a body capable of saying yes to more of life? In this episode of the ALLSMITH Podcast, Bryce Smith sits down with Juliet Starrett, co-founder of The Ready State, co-author of Built to Move, former professional whitewater paddler, attorney, entrepreneur, and former CrossFit Games athlete. Juliet and Bryce explore what health, fitness, and longevity look like when you strip away the noise, extremes, and increasingly complicated world of modern wellness. They discuss why exercise should create freedom outside the gym, the problem with turning wellness into an identity, why simple health practices still matter, and how physical capacity allows us to keep pursuing adventure, relationships, and meaningful experiences as we age. Juliet describes the goal as building a body that can say yes to adventure. The conversation goes far beyond training. Bryce and Juliet unpack youth sports and the loss of free play, raising resilient kids, marriage and evolving alongside your partner, entrepreneurship, authentic content versus performative culture, the limitations of biohacking, community, modern medicine, aging, and why two seemingly opposing ideas can often be true at the same time. Juliet also shares the story of her 77-year-old father joining her family on a 16-day Grand Canyon trip - and how his ability to participate helped shape the philosophy behind Built to Move. This is a conversation about creating health that actually serves your life: the ability to move, adapt, explore, connect, and continue saying yes to the people and experiences that matter. Topics covered: Fitness and longevity  Built to Move  Mobility and movement  Health and wellness culture  Biohacking and simplicity  Youth sports and free play  Marriage and relationships  Parenting and resilience  Adventure and aging  Community and connection  Modern medicine and preventative health  Building physical capacity for life About Juliet Starrett: Juliet Starrett is the co-founder of The Ready State alongside Kelly Starrett and co-author of Built to Move. Her work focuses on helping people build durable, capable bodies that support meaningful lives. Earlier in her career, she competed professionally in whitewater paddling, practiced law, and competed at the CrossFit Games. Thank you for Listening! Learn more below.

    EP. 153 | Sydney Milani | What If You Do Everything Right and Still Fall Short?

    What happens when you do everything right and life still says no? You train. You sacrifice. You stay disciplined. You pray. You keep showing up when nobody is watching. And you still don’t get the outcome you wanted. In this episode of ALLSMITH, Bryce sits down with Sydney Milani, former University of Alabama track athlete, Team USA bobsled pilot, performance coach, and founder of Peerless. Sydney spent years chasing an Olympic dream. The work was done. The sacrifices were made. But the dream didn’t unfold the way she imagined. And that’s where this conversation really begins. Because this isn’t just about bobsled. It’s about identity when the title gets taken away. Faith when the answer is no. The difference between discipline and obsession. Learning how to lose without becoming lost. And finding the courage to keep moving when life hands you a different map. We spend so much of our lives believing the outcome will validate the work. Maybe it doesn’t have to. Maybe some dreams aren’t only there to be achieved. Maybe they’re there to forge us. KEY TAKEAWAYS • You are more than what you’ve done. Accomplishments can be part of your story without becoming your identity. • The work doesn’t guarantee the result. You can prepare, sacrifice, pray, and give everything you have. Life still gets a vote. The work wasn’t wasted. • Greatness is usually boring. The podium is built on ordinary days nobody sees. • Every dream has an invoice. Time. Money. Relationships. Comfort. Energy. Attention. Decide what you’re willing to pay. • Failure is an event, not an identity. There’s a massive difference between “I failed” and “I am a failure.” • Faith gets tested when the answer is no. Trust means something different when you can’t see where the road is taking you. • Discipline should give you more life. Fitness is the vessel. The goal is to use it to play bigger in the world. • Confidence leaves receipts. It’s built by doing difficult things and keeping promises to yourself. • Sometimes losing the plan reveals the purpose. The chapter you never wanted may introduce you to the work you were meant to do. • The pursuit changes you. The medal matters. The dream matters. But so does the person forged while chasing it. NUGGETS “Greatness is usually boring before it’s impressive.” “Everybody wants the dream until they see the invoice.” “The work wasn’t wasted just because the outcome changed.” “Falling short doesn’t erase the person you became chasing it.” “Faith gets interesting when the answer is no.” “Confidence leaves receipts.” “Sometimes losing the plan is how you find the purpose.” “Most people don’t need another hack. They need a longer relationship with the basics.” “Success is cool. Building a life you actually want to wake up to is better.” TIMESTAMPS 00:00 — What if you do everything right and still fall short? 08:00 — Competition and learning how to lose 20:00 — Talent vs. work ethic 30:00 — Track to Team USA bobsled 43:00 — Changing your body for performance 49:00 — The price of an Olympic dream 56:00 — Giving everything and still falling short 1:11:00 — “I failed” vs. “I am a failure” 1:17:00 — Faith when the answer is no 1:30:00 — Discipline vs. obsession 1:42:00 — Pressure and confidence 1:55:00 — Why the basics still win 2:07:00 — Building Peerless 2:14:00 — Turning adversity into purpose 2:20:00 — When is enough, enough? 2:30:00 — Was the pursuit still worth it? JOIN THE COLLECTIVE If you’re in a season where you’re doing the work and life hasn’t caught up yet, this conversation is for you. Keep going. Not because the outcome is guaranteed. Because there is value in the becoming. Share this episode with someone who needs it.

    EP. 152 | Mike Gonzalez | What Getting Punched Teaches You About Life

    At some point, life hits everybody. The relationship ends. The business struggles. You lose someone you love. Your body gets hurt. The plan you were so certain about falls apart. And for a moment, you’re standing there thinking… Well, shit. What now? Maybe that’s one of the reasons boxing is such an interesting metaphor for life. You can train, prepare, visualize, and make a beautiful plan—but eventually somebody is going to punch you. And then you get to meet the version of yourself that exists when the plan disappears. “Under pressure, our habits get exposed.” “Confidence is a collection of receipts from things you didn’t think you could do.” “You can’t control every punch coming your way. You can control your response.” This week, Bryce sits down with boxing coach, strength & conditioning specialist, and mindset coach Mike Gonzalez—aka the Dope Ass Coach—to explore what happens inside the ring and why so many of those lessons seem to follow us outside of it. They talk fundamentals, fear, confidence, ego, discipline, coaching, strength & conditioning, working with kids, and why intentionally doing difficult things might help prepare us for the difficult things we never asked for. You don’t have to be a boxer for this one. You just have to know what it feels like to get hit by life. 🥊 WHAT WE EXPLORE • Why fundamentals matter even more under pressure • Confidence built through evidence and experience • Moving forward while fear is still present • Why doing hard things can change how we see ourselves • Confidence vs. ego • Coaching the human behind the athlete • Why exhaustion doesn’t always equal effective training • Strength & conditioning for competitive fighters • What boxing can teach kids about discipline, respect, and self-belief • Learning how to fight—and when not to • Preparing ourselves for the punches we can’t see coming 💭 A FEW THOUGHTS TO SIT WITH “Everybody eventually gets punched by life.” “Maybe learning how to fight isn’t really about fighting.” “Eventually you stop coaching the workout and start coaching the human.” “Hard things don’t automatically make us better. How we respond to them might.” ⏱️ JUMP AROUND 00:00 — Let’s play : — How Mike found boxing : — Fundamentals over flash : — Fear, ego & confidence : — Why we might need hard things : — Coaching the person behind the athlete : — Strength & conditioning for fighters : — Kids, boxing & building confidence : — What happens when life hits back : — What Mike is fighting for : — One final question ALLSMITH is Bryce’s exploration of fitness, mindset, wellness, adventure, community, and the things that might help us build a more meaningful life. Fitness is the entry. Life is the upgrade. If something in this conversation lands with you, send it to somebody you’d want in your corner.

Maybe it’s building enough evidence, relationships, skills, and perspective along the way that when life eventually catches us with one we didn’t see coming, we remember: We’ve been here before. We can handle hard things. And we keep moving forward. A beautiful life starts with a better question. Thank you for Listening! Learn more below. ALLSMITH IG ALLSMITH YouTube Bryce Smith IG

    EP. 151 | Bryce Smith | Why Does Life Feel Better Off the Grid?

    Why does life sometimes feel better when there’s no service? No notifications. No traffic. No endless scrolling. No climate-controlled room. No food showing up at your door. Just sunlight. Dirt. Cold water. Movement. Fire. Stars. Good food. Good people. And whatever Mother Nature decides to throw at you. In this solo episode of ALLSMITH, Bryce reflects on returning from time off the grid and explores a question that kept following him home: Have we made life so convenient that we’ve forgotten some of what makes us feel alive? This isn’t an anti-technology episode. And it’s definitely not Bryce telling everyone to sell their shit and move into the woods. 😂 It’s a conversation about contrast. Cold makes warmth feel better. Hunger makes food taste better. Effort makes rest more meaningful. Darkness makes the stars brighter. Disconnection can create deeper connection. And sometimes leaving the comforts of home reminds us how damn fortunate we are to have them. Bryce explores sunlight and circadian rhythm, grounding, voluntary discomfort, movement, cooking over fire, sleeping outside, bugs, boredom, fireside conversations, sunsets, stars, perspective and the beautifully inconvenient parts of spending time in nature. Because maybe we don’t always need another hack. Maybe we need to remember how to be human. IN THIS EPISODE 🌲 Nature is medicine Why getting outside can change the way we think, feel and experience our lives. ☀️ Live closer to the sun Morning light, darkness, circadian rhythm and why some of the simplest health practices are still incredibly powerful. 🥾 Choose hard things Hiking, carrying your gear, cold water, bad sleep and the confidence that comes from realizing you can handle discomfort. ⚖️ Contrast creates gratitude Why removing comfort temporarily can make you appreciate your bed, shower, food, relationships and everyday life differently. 🔥 Fire changes conversation What happens when the phones disappear, nobody is rushing anywhere and people actually sit together and talk. 🌌 Awe changes perspective Mountains, stars and sunsets don’t necessarily solve your problems. They can remind you how small some of them are. 🦟 The bugs are part of it Adventure isn’t just beautiful sunsets. It’s dirt, mosquitoes, forgotten gear, weather and inconvenience. That’s part of the deal. 📵 Disconnect to reconnect What happens when your phone stops working and you finally have enough space to hear yourself think. 🏕️ Come home differently The point isn’t to escape your life. It’s to return to it with more gratitude, perspective and intention. QUESTIONS WORTH SITTING WITH When was the last time you watched a sunrise without checking your phone? When did you last choose discomfort instead of avoiding it? When did you last cook something slowly with people you love? When did you last look at the stars long enough to feel small? When did you last experience boredom without immediately trying to eliminate it? And maybe most importantly: When was the last time you felt completely alive? QUOTES FROM THE EPISODE “Comfort is beautiful. Dependence on comfort is dangerous.” “Participation creates appreciation.” “The stars don’t solve your problems. They remind you of their size.” “Stop demanding a beautiful life without bugs.” “Go somewhere your phone doesn’t work and see what starts working inside you.” “Sometimes you have to leave your comfortable life to remember how beautiful your comfortable life actually is.” “A beautiful life isn’t a life without discomfort. It’s a life where the discomfort is worth it.” THE TAKEAWAY You don’t need to disappear into the mountains for seven days. Start smaller. Get outside before you get online. Walk barefoot. Watch the sun come up. Jump into cold water. Take the longer trail. Cook dinner outside. Sit around a fire. Look at the stars. Put your phone away when someone you love is talking. Let yourself be inconvenienced every once in a while. And when you return home, notice how incredible a hot shower, comfortable bed and stocked refrigerator suddenly feel. Maybe the goal isn’t to escape modern life. Maybe it’s to occasionally step outside of it long enough to remember how fortunate we are to be living it.

    EP. 150 | Wendy Strgar | Why Are We So Bad at Talking About Sex?

    Sex is everywhere. It shapes culture, relationships, health, identity, and how we connect, yet somehow it remains one of the hardest things for us to talk about honestly. This week on ALLSMITH, Bryce sits down with Wendy Strgar, founder of Good Clean Love, author, entrepreneur, and longtime advocate for better conversations around sexual health, intimacy, and lasting love. We explore why sex still carries so much discomfort and shame, what happens to desire in long-term relationships, how our bodies and relationships change with age, the influence of porn and modern culture, women’s sexual health, and why great intimacy might have far less to do with performance than we think. This isn’t just a conversation about sex. It’s a conversation about communication, curiosity, vulnerability, health, and learning how to love another human being well. IN THIS EPISODE Why we’re still uncomfortable talking about sex Sexual shame and where it comes from Why desire changes in long-term relationships Love vs. attraction Mismatched libido Sex, marriage, and parenthood Porn and modern expectations Performance vs. genuine intimacy Women’s sexual health and the vaginal microbiome Hormones, aging, and changing bodies Communication and emotional safety What it takes to sustain love What it actually means to be a great lover BIG IDEAS Sex is everywhere. Honest conversations about it aren’t. Falling in love happens. Staying connected takes practice. Great intimacy isn’t simply physical. It’s built through curiosity, communication, safety, and presence. Your partner isn’t responsible for understanding a part of you that you’ve never taken the time to understand yourself. Maybe the goal isn’t staying the same together. It’s continuing to discover each other as you both change. ABOUT WENDY Wendy Strgar is the founder of Good Clean Love, an intimate wellness company she founded in 2003. She is also the author of Love That Works and Sex That Works and has spent more than two decades exploring the intersection of sexual health, intimacy, relationships, and human connection.
