Rawdon & Tommy are VERY excited to introduce the latest ‘darkhorse’ to the UTB audience… Dalton Franke. As you will discover over the next 3 episodes Dalton is a rare mind in the fitness industry with that special blend of data driven and scientific rigour, emotional intelligence, lateral thinking and ‘in the trenches’ real world results. In this initial instalment we look at methods for successful behaviour change to facilitate long term body recomposition. Along the way we discuss the differing qualities of endurance athletes and strength athletes, the power of visualisation, key behaviours for long fat loss, values driven goal setting, common pitfalls of weight regain, sleep tips and the biology and evolution of behaviour change.
What you don’t see on Instagram is the trade off’s and costs of dieting that present themselves both physically and mentally. In episode 33 of the Macabolic Podcast Dalton & Luke delve deep into what to expect, how to deal with it and how to not screw yourself up. At the hands of moron coaches who’s primary motive is their social media recognition Hope you enjoy!
In episode 14 I was lucky enough to be joined by Dalton Franke. Dalton is a nerd like me when it comes to training and nutrition. In this episode we do our best to ‘dumb things down’ without rambling on, as we are both certainly capable of. We discus gut health and how you should consider the simple factors of fibre intake and fibre type before you go down the path of spending tonnes of money and time on food intolerance tests and various other gut health related protocols. We discus how having gluten in your diet might be the thing you need to improve your symptoms of GI distress which goes against popular belief We then talk about why having a large discrepancy of training volume and intensity from the start compared to the end of a training program is a smarter approach than just going all in from week 1. We discuss how you don’t need to be leaving the gym in a ambulance for the session to be effective and productive, and how that approach will bring sub optimal results.
Should you eat less carbs based on your body type? Should you change your diet based on your level of body fat? Are you a skinny person who eat’s everything, but can’t gain weight? Or the opposite, who’s tried everything to lose weight, but nothing has worked? DALTON FRANKE ANSWERS TO THE ABOVE + TROUBLESHOOTING, ADVICE AND MORE.
In episode 62 of the Macabolic Podcast I was lucky enough to be joined by founder of @fortitudenutritioncoaching Josh Smith and online coach heavy weight Dalton Franke to discuss 2 topics in nutrition that are rapidly gaining attention and sure to become the next ‘nutrition in thing’ to chat about. Have a listen to find out why and how setting appropriate goals based on inner values is vital in creating a feasible and effective diet strategy that you can stick to. Learn how habit formation can finally allow you to maintain any fat loss results you achieve through a dedicated fat loss dieting phase.
The title speaks for itself on this one.
Today I am chatting with Dalton Franke, a good friend and fellow coach over in Brisbane, Australia. We discuss the things we get wrong about motivation and how we can find better sources of motivation when we’re struggling to make a change. About Dalton: I have been in the fitness industry since 2015. I began as an in-person personal trainer before migrating to online coaching. Helping people from all over the world achieve their training and nutrition goals has led to my greatest sense of fulfillment. It’s no secret that the health and fitness industry is a saturated market with hundreds of coaches ready to help you with your nutrition and training. So why do we still have a society of people who struggle to reach their body composition or performance goals? Because we are not robots. We don’t want to eat less when we’re stressed or train hard when we’re tired. Finding motivation is hard. As a coach, I look beyond the common tips and tricks flooding our social media feeds. You will still receive the nutrition and training plan you need to reach your goals, but the approach will be different. By marrying Psychology & Physiology, we are able to identify your core values, strengthen your goals and determine the path of least resistance towards your new life.
IN EPISODE 44 OF THE MACABOLIC PODCAST Myself, Shannon & Dalton dig deeper into the newly coined term ‘informed eating’, or as I sometimes think of it as ‘informed total health maintenance eating’. We discuss more aspects of it, some variations within it, how it is practically applied and what it ‘looks like ‘ in real-world practice. On a personal note. I’m not a smart, intellectually blessed human. But given the low level of intellect and logic within the fitness/health/nutrition space, it’s still pretty rare for me to feel stupid during an interaction with other industry folks. With that being said I’m actually a little embarrassed to share this podcast because it’s just so obvious throughout the episode how dumb Dalton makes me feel, all the damn time, and likewise, Shannon who was always ‘out-needing’ me back in our MNU days. Anyway, episode 44 if another fantastic episode featuring a lot of great info, logic, advise and rationale from two industry good guys/girls. Be sure to check it out and share it on social media if you enjoyed it.
Didn’t plan on making a podcast of this random Skype call with Dalton. But there was so much value here, it’d be rude not to. Topics covered include; Quest bars, sneaky calories, food standards, governing bodies and food labeling errors. How to correctly approach scale weight to avoid being mislead by a number of mass. What does scale weight actually tell us and should we care? Daily scale weight fluctuation considerations and factors. Considerations for scale weight and the female menstrual cycle. How to work around it. Exercise selection – Rack pulls, floor presses, range of motion, and programming ROM within a training session. Why females shouldn’t worry about getting massive. What training to failure really is & how the RIR (reps in reserve) model has it’s drawbacks. Best practices to progress in training volume, load, reps and sets, and why it’s a good idea to lift more load over time.
