Part 2 of our drugs episodes, this time Jason & Rod talk about how high they've been. The episode starts with Jason's classic anecdote about the pre workout supplement Craze and how it was found to contain methamphetamine. They discuss their own personal experiences of drugs and chat in more detail about the potential useful application of psychedelics including LSD & DMT. Mike Tyson asks "Do you know the toad?" Jason mentions the massive amounts of MDMA he's taken yet fails to mention the recent clinical application of the drug in helping those with PTSD. We never even got the chance to talk about weed. We don't encourage you to take anything, not even supplements or medication that hasn't been prescribed by a professional. This is just two guys discussing their personal experiences, both good and bad.

Our first two parter explores performance enhancing drugs in sports and fitness. Jason is joined by Rod once again to ask; What are steroids? Are their ever any benefits to using drugs? How common is the use of performance enhancing drugs in sport? We talk about the fascinating documentaries Icarus & Bigger, Stronger, Faster, both of which delve into steroids and PEDs revealing a world most of us never knew existed. Icarus filmmaker Bryan Fogel sets out to uncover the truth about doping in sports, a chance meeting with a Russian scientist transforms his story from a personal experiment into a geopolitical thriller. Dirty urine, unexplained death and Olympic gold are all part of the exposure of the biggest scandal in sports history. Bigger, Stronger, Faster presents the pervasive use of steroids in sports as an indication of the American obsession with winning at all costs. The Bell brothers have been sucked into the world of performance-enhancing drugs, thinking this is their ticket to realizing the American dream. Interviews with politicians, doctors, bodybuilders and coaches raise the question: Do the ends really justify the means? Because in the mad dash to win, an entire culture may be poised to lose.

Trigger Warning: Michael Ulloa is still away so time for a sex episode. There's a lot of language and content only suitable for adults. We will be talking about sex as it relates to fitness, both seriously and entirely immaturely, so please do not listen with anyone you deem inappropriate. Jason is joined once again by Rod Penn and Dan Scott and although we do have a laugh, there's some great discussions points around how fitness affects our sex lives and the benefits of sex on our overall health. We ask; Does fitness improve your sex life? Does how you look affect your enjoyment of sex? How many calories does sex burn? Does pornography have a negative effect on our mental health? Specifically, we ask Dan; Is this sex doll worth $7,500? What do you look for in a sex doll and why is it robot neck? If you'd like to see the dolls mentioned in the show, click here.

In episode 118, we talk about how fascists are recruiting young white men through online fitness communities. Vulnerable young men, who are likely in search of mentors, comradery and self improvement, are being targeted by far right groups and recruited into these hateful movements. We chat about the role fitness has played. Rod Penn is back with another quiz, this time asking us, are these items of fitness clothing used by fascists to represent their believes. All we'll say is, burn your Lonsdale tops immediately. We're also joined by special guest Dan Scott of Clan Fit Edinburgh who tells us about his new gym as well as discussing homophobia in the fitness industry, including the story of Jake Daniels, Blackpool FC player who has become the first active male professional footballer to come out as gay.

Award winning filmmaker and Capoeira master, Rod Penn and Cece Ho, yoga instructor and reiki energy practitioner. Rod kicks us off with a quiz; are these forms of Yoga real or fake? Play along at home.

On episode 115 of Just The Fitness Tip, Michael Ulloa is replaced and upgraded by guest host Lewis from Grams & Plant Bae. Jason chats with Lewis about the new legislation that will see calories added to menus. As a business owner, Lewis has a strong opinion on how it will affect hospitality but also whether it will do the job it seeks to do, help us all make healthy food options. We read the Metro article that covers the potential risk to those suffering from disordered eating and read the opinion of psychologists and nutritionists as to whether this will actually help any of us stay in shape.

This week's episode is all over the place but Jason and Michael manage to talk about the former Goop exec criticising toxic wellness culture. Michael Mosley telling us the two things that will help us lose weight and it's not ground breaking science. Plus the new trend amongst influencers of using aquarium cleaner as a cognitive enhancer.

What do you look for in a PT? Trainers, what qualities do you think are essential when working in personal training? That's today's topic. Born from one of Jason's rants, he suggests to Michael that organisation, communication and selling outweigh health and fitness knowledge when it comes to being a successful personal trainer. We ponder why so many great trainers can't cut it when they leave a big gym chain and become self employed. Michael stresses the importance of being able to communicate effectively with clients, including utilising social media as a way to grow relationships and not just to sell personal training. We very briefly mention Gary Vee for the SEO but also because his theory of providing three times the value to a customer before asking for something in return, is THE most effective way to grow your fitness business. We also look at a study suggesting only 3 seconds a day of weight lifting will increase muscle strength and we briefly make fun of 10 common fitness tips that are actually myths, including lengthening and toning muscles, muscle turning to fat and 30 day challenges.

But on episode 112 of Just The Fitness Tip, Jason & Michael take a look at the health and fitness professionals, publications and media outlets that suggest you only need to perform one magic movement to achieve your weight loss, strength increasing, muscle building, mental health empowering goals. Will 20 minutes of lunges build muscle?  Will 16 rounds of med ball slams really improve your speed and agility? Will running stairs contribute to your positive self image?  You'll have to listen to the episode to find out. We also chat about the difference between jam and marmalade.

Do you have to be skinny to be healthy? Are all smoothies and juices healthy? Do you have to track calories to lose weight? and the answer to the question we've all been asking; do carrots help you see in the dark?

Every major celebrity in the fitness bubble is hiding a secret from the entire world and it's taken YouTube gamer PewDiePie to expose it. The Swedish superstar made an uncharacteristic video on the lack of transparency of steroid use in the movie industry, specifically calling out actors who have gained impossible amounts of muscle to play superheroes in the Marvel cinematic universe. On episode 110 of Just The Fitness Tip we ask, is the fitness industry lying to you about how celebrities achieve ungodly physiques and if so, is it immoral for them to profit from products or services they claim to provide results without that transparency? Chris Hemsworth sells his Centr app, inferring it is how he manage to pack on 40lbs of muscle in under a year. Kumail Nanjiani transformed his physique aged 40, apparently with nothing more than beetroot juice and electric shocks to his muscles. Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson has a lucrative partnership with Under Armour and a highly profitable energy drink based on his philosophy of "blood, sweat and respect" but is it really just tenacity and 3am workouts that resulted in the musclebound 50 year olds unbelievable gains? Most importantly, PewDiePie has the largest YouTube audience in the world, largely made up of young boys who may know little about fitness but certainly know of these celebrities. We talk about the responsibility the media has not to spoon feed beginners with misinformation that could potentially result in long term damage, both physically and psychologically.
