What if everything you think you know about control is wrong?

In this episode, I'm breaking down the biggest lie in fitness culture. While sirens go off in Israel and people desperately hunt for gyms to maintain their "control," I'm here to tell you why that rigid thinking is actually enslaving you.

While everyone argues about whether Rate of Perceived Exertion works or not, I'll share why my numbers-obsessed student went absolutely nuts when I took away her percentages and forced her to feel her own body.

You'll discover why your heart rate monitor might be lying to you, how training is like a night out drinking, and the stupidly simple -1/0/+1 system that cuts through all the RPE confusion.

'The Intimacy Protocol' – this Thursday. Because learning to feel your body is scarier than any weight you'll ever lift."

My father's abandonment, when me being 3, left me with an inner voice that constantly whispered 'just quit, just leave.' I tried everything to silence it - until I discovered kettlebell sport.

Unlike other weights, kettlebells cannot be dropped - it's the rule. You must carry them through to completion. What I thought was just exercise became the most powerful therapy I never knew I needed.

This is the story of how my greatest nemesis became my greatest teacher, and how learning the art of 'dropping without dropping' changed everything.

In this raw and unfiltered episode, I reveal how trying to save money on my triathlon coaching backfired spectacularly. I went from feeling clever about my negotiation to questioning my own worth—all while creating imaginary scenarios in my head about being at the bottom of my coach's priority list.

"When you negotiate down the price, you're not just saving money—you're sacrificing confidence, commitment, and peace of mind. And that's a bargain no one can afford."

If you’re drifting... unsure what coach to work with, what goal to chase, or whether you even care anymore—this episode is for you.

Today, I’m talking about one simple move that fixes everything in training and life:

Signing up in advance.

Not when you're ready. Not when you're motivated.

Before.

I’ll share how this decision has shaped my kettlebell career, saved my Ironman prep, and pulled me back from mental burnout more than once.

You don’t need more motivation—you need a commitment with a date.

Ever had a moment where everything fell apart—physically, mentally, emotionally—and you had to decide whether to quit or keep going?

In this episode, I share the story of two Half Ironmans, a kettlebell championship, and the brutal lessons that only failure can teach you.

This isn’t about performance metrics.

This is about the edge of your identity—and what happens when you don’t break.

If you’re in a season of doubt, recovery, or rebuilding — this one's for you.

There’s no such thing as true DIY in training. Even if you're following a free YouTube plan or copying someone’s Instagram routine—you’re still being guided.

In this episode, I unpack the illusion of “doing it on your own” and how it’s never about the price tag, but about your self-perception.

Because the real difference isn’t whether you’re coached…

It’s whether you’re honest about it.
