Welcome to the Stronger Dads Collective Podcast - where we aim to help Dads be stronger versions of themselves - as fathers, people, and in their athletic pursuits.
14 DEC 2023 · This week I am joined by Stephen Pritchard. He is a husband and father of three. Stephen is a Kiwi who has been living in Australia for the last couple of decades. We were competing at international Powerlifting events from around 2012-2014 and although he was competing for Australia (and we aren't actually related), he became known as 'Uncle Steve'.
In this episode, we chat through Steve's story. He talks about how teachers and others around him didn't really give him a chance because of his home life, yet he managed to have some key people along the way who provided positive input at vital times. We discuss how he went on to get a PhD, whilst being a new parent, and chat about his journey in Powerlifting.
We had a great chat and I really enjoyed learning more about Steve's story!
Enjoy the episode!

7 DEC 2023 · This week I am joined by https://www.instagram.com/brandonswanstrong/. He is a husband and father, and also a five-time CrossFit Games athlete, a firefighter, and the founder of https://www.instagram.com/dadhours/.
We had a great chat, initially discussing all about what Dad Hours and how it came to be. We then jumped into Brandon's story, talking about his upbringing, his competitive nature, and his journey to competing at the CrossFit Games. We chat about some of the challenges he has been through after a few years competing at the pinnacle of the sport before he missed out on the Games, and how he worked through that disappointment.
Our conversation then moves to his decision to become a firefighter, and how his training has evolved as he has shifted from a full-time athlete to being a father with a full-time job. I love his approach to fitting in training and I think you will too.
Enjoy the episode!

30 NOV 2023 · Zach Powell is back on the podcast. His previous appearance was back in Episode 8, so be sure to go listen to that one too, if you haven't already.
We chat about how Zach has been managing busy workload in a way that ensures he can still be a present father, specifically about how he goes about switching off at home - forgetting work - and focusing on his family.
We then spend a bit of time talking about his experience at the Leadville 100 and his competitive aspirations looking forward.
Also, to correct myself, Zach is the third guest to make a second appearance on the podcast. It was great to have him back - always enjoying chatting with him.
Enjoy the episode!

9 NOV 2023 · This week I have a solo episode for you.
I provide an update on missing "The 161" this time, where things are at with the arrival of Baby #2, and discuss future plans and my use of 'https://www.instagram.com/p/CzVo1jrLXBS/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==' as a way to plan for training amongst unpredictability.
Enjoy the episode!

2 NOV 2023 · This week I am joined by Mark Novak of https://www.instagram.com/thestrongdadclub/. Mark is a husband and father of two. He works as a firefighter, as well as helping Dads in their health and fitness journeys through his work with The Strong Dad Club.
In this episode, we chat about the transition that occurs when going from one to two kids. We discuss Mark's background and how he got interested in fitness and then into his coaching. We spend time talking about how the "All or Nothing" principle can be detrimental to new parents who want to continue to be active, and how "Something is Better than Nothing" is a much more helpful approach to building habits and keeping consistent.
I enjoyed talking to Mark and I hope you enjoy the episode!

26 OCT 2023 · https://cliffharvey.com/ is a father of two and a partner of one. He is a Clinical Nutritionist, author, educator, and all-round weightlifter. He holds a PhD from AUT and has published numerous academic papers.
I have known Cliff for a decade and have always enjoyed his approach. He has a curious scientific mind and I think that shows in his approach to problem solving and the questions he is willing to ask.
In this episode, we talk about his upbringing and how he got interested in training and nutrition. We discuss his sporting background and how he found all-round weightlifting. We also learn about his unorthodox path to his PhD and how various mentors have impacted his direction in life.
Was great to catch up with Cliff!
Enjoy the episode.

19 OCT 2023 · This week I have a solo episode for you.
Hear me reminisce over the All Black's success in the World Cup Quarterfinals, and chat about what Johnny Sexton's son said to him after the Irish defeat.
I then give a bit of an update on my training towards the "161" hybrid goal of a 161kg Front Squat and a sub-six 1.61km run (aka a mile).
Finally, I discuss some brief tips around how you can utilise your environment, specifically the 'things' and 'people' in your environment, to help set you up for success in your health and fitness goals.
Enjoy the episode!

12 OCT 2023 · This week I am joined by Dr Matthew Barnes. Matt is a husband and father of two teenagers. He is an Associate Professor at Massey University in Palmerston North and was one of my PhD supervisors.
I have Matt to thank for getting me into Powerlifting. When I was studying at Massey he noticed I was relatively strong and encouraged me to give it a try. To be fair his enthusiasm for research and our many yarns about strength training during my studies probably also helped move me into that field too!
In this episode we discuss Matt's childhood, growing up in a small town in the deep South of New Zealand. We talk about his days working in pubs, playing rugby, and how influential people impacted the direction he took in both his training and life. We also hear how getting hit by a rogue golf ball put an end to his rugby-playing days.
The episode finishes with us chatting about some of his philosophies around parenting and how he encourages his kids to be active but doesn't force them into specific sports. It was great to get to chat with Matt and learn his story!
We'll definitely be getting Matt back on to discuss some more of his academic research, I'm keen to dig into some of his insights into recovery from exercise. Expect to hear him on the podcast again in the future.
Enjoy the episode.

28 SEP 2023 · https://www.instagram.com/miketuchscherer/ is back on the podcast after recently making his return to International Powerlifting competition.
It's been great to follow along with his training over the past few years as he's built himself back to the top levels of competition and is now achieving regular training PRs. It was great to get into some of the details of the processes he's taken, and some of the ways he's managed his training load to not only be performing well but feeling good whilst doing so.
We also discuss some of the ways training has changed as his kids have grown older, chat about very low-RPE training and social impacts on training, as well as generally talk shop about training. I always enjoy having the chance to sit down and chat with Mike!
Enjoy the episode.
