Raging end of a cut hunger and all things The Cookie Dealer UK for a cookie rating.

We are back after a summer break.  Catching up on Tough Mudders, summer shredding and midnight hunger tomatoes.  Return of the C&C cookie ratings and we rate Creme, London.  How the body fights being lean, rants about trainers trying to sound more clever than they are by using long words and more. 

We are back and we are ranty. More so than usual. We go in on virtue signalling as well as an in depth look of what it is currently like to travel to and return from an Amber list country. Jack also discusses his holiday in the Falkland Islands. We go over all of our go to diet hacks. Tactics, food choices and how to pump up the volume. Plus a full analysis and ranking of the super markets.

The one where we open up on our own experiences of body dysmorphia and insecurities. After a grim round of 'guess who's dead' and our own bucket lists if we had a year left on this mortal coil, we delved into: The PT who shamed burger eating client Looking at ourselves in only a certain light and focussing on flaws The impact of getting very lean/competing on body dysmorphia Always comparing ourselves to our best The 5 stages of lean The false image portrayed by fitness influencers and its impact on people Being objective with ourselves rather than emotional oh and more waffle as usual!

Joined by MNU certified nutritionist, the wonderful Sophia Taylor of Apollo Nutrition for this very open, honest and no holding back conversation.

We design the most fool proof of zombie apocalypse plans in addition to some overall genuflection of the phenom that is Costco. Also covered: When people want to 'tone' up but not get 'too big' The benefits of weight training and building muscle Our worst jobs we've had How mid 30s male can lose the 'shelf' overhang bit of belly If we had unlimited money to start our own business    

We kick off with our general chit chat; dissecting Jack's 30k calorie challenge in one hour https://youtu.be/3NEishkgZx4 plus a bit of BeardMeetsFood fanboying. Talk Easter chocolate and how its far better in October. That pec tear video (shudders just typing that). Desperation for a leg extension on 12th April.  Then your questions for us to waffle about in the Qwaffle section. What are your favourite apples? Is it harder to do a cut or to build muscle? Do I really need to walk 10,000 steps a day? Why should I go with a coach when I can get a set time transformation program for a fraction of the price?  

We are joined by NABBA bodybuilder Matt Doyle to discuss his inspiring comeback from having his stomach removed, living with a stoma bag and battling depression to take to the stage again.

We go back to when we were young, starting out in fitness, inexperienced, impressionable and our brains didn't work properly. If we could go back in time equipped with what we know now, what would we do differently? We pick the bones of one of our truly awful first prep diets along with our past methods fixes for: Diet plans Nutrition Training Cardio Sources of information And that naturally lead to Messi or Ronaldo?

We give our take on some of the worst fat loss methods and all things fitness out there. Just some of the things not safe from our wrath: Influencer live hiit workouts Meal Plans- shocking coaches named and shamed Ketones Juice cleanses Diet (sh*t yourself coffees) In addition to our usual ramblings, plans for Valentine's day including our menus and Jack sourcing properly raw fish.
