Facing Fears episodes arm you with tips and techniques to deal with challenging mental problems that we all face, get in action, and dominate your progress!


On this episode:

Everyone is afraid of appearing weak on some level, but why? Is is because we are hard-wired to want to belong? Is it an overgrown cultural sense of "honor", or do we really just desire strength and competence for themselves?

-The coaches diagnose symptoms of trying to avoid appearing weak, including bravado, bullying, avoidance, and not asking the right questions or seeking help.

-How to be constructively uncomfortable.

-How this matters for your workouts.


Also on this episode:

-Marine Sergeant Major submits a phony doctorate, wears 9 medals he didn't rate, gets busted.

-Josh styles himself as "Psychic Trainer, Josh Spencer, and my sidekick Dances with Energy Drinks"
