Abel James Show (Video)

What’s better for longevity—running or walking? It’s a bit of a trick question. But if there is one answer, it’s definitely walking. If you want to be fit and live for a long time, you don’t need to subject yourself to suffer fests and slog through long runs.

Mark had an incredible career as an...

Are your training methods preventing injury or causing them?

Why do some athletic pursuits lead to disordered eating, orthorexia, and body image issues? 

As the years tick by, how can we move the goalposts to make sure we’re training for the right reasons?

One of my favorite things about hosting this podcast for the past 12 years is the chance to revisit with guests in different stages of their lives. 

Long time listeners first met my friend Chaz a little more than a decade ago. 

Chaz Branham is a venture capitalist, athlete and lifelong health nut, who you may remember back in 2013 entered in the Texas Shredder Classic, his first bodybuilding competition, on a dare—and did ridiculously well and even earned a spot on the podium by using a fat-based approach (quite unique at the time).

This dude is a life-long athlete and beast. Back then in his mid-twenties, Chaz was fresh off his first bodybuilding competition, where he achieved an astonishing 3.5% body fat naturally and earned his place on the podium. Now in his late 30’s, it’s fascinating to examine how our lives and goals have changed. 

On this episode with Chaz, you’ll discover:

  • How Chaz navigated body image issues and disordered eating patterns following a successful bodybuilding competition

  • How to adjust your training and goals in the face of serious injury

  • Why some ultra-marathoners show no signs of degeneration or injury after a lifetime of running

  • What it’s like to experiment in the Wild West world of peptides

  • And much more…
