In this episode, I’m joined by Inori Serre – a sports psychologist, mental coach, and athlete with personal experience in streetlifting, calisthenics, circus arts, and competitive swimming.

Together, we explore the often-overlooked mental side of strength sports and how mental coaching can become a game-changer — especially when it comes to handling pressure, building confidence, and staying focused under the bar.

Inori shares her structured approach to coaching, including real-world tools like the 3R method (Register – Release – Refocus), which she used successfully with high-level athletes in competition settings.

We also discuss:
→ The link between mental fatigue, fear, and physical performance
→ Visualization, self-talk, and focus techniques that athletes can start using today
→ Why mental skills training should at least begin 2–3 months before peak competition
→ How she supports athletes through injury recovery, plateaus, and overthinking
→ And how mental skills developed in training transfer far beyond the platform

Whether you're just starting to compete or preparing for a big championship – this episode will give you tools, inspiration, and insight into how mental performance can shape your next PR.

In this episode, I’m joined by Daniele Mendoza – Australian streetlifting athlete and Nike trainer – to talk about her path into the sport, her training structure, and what’s happening in the growing streetlifting community in Australia.

We dive into her journey from basketball to calisthenics, and how she transitioned into strength-focused training and eventually competition. Daniele shares insights into her current training split, how she balances skill work and strength development, and what her goals are for the 2026 season.

We also explore:
→ The evolution of streetlifting in Australia – and what’s still missing
→ Her thoughts on competing internationally & possible qualification routes
→ Why there’s a need for more female coaches in calisthenics and streetlifting
→ Her approach to programming with support from her current coach
→ Running casual calisthenics meetups & building community from the ground up

Daniele’s story is a great example of how athletic experience, curiosity, and passion can come together in a growing sport – and why more women should feel empowered to enter the world of strength training and competition.

In this episode, I’m joined by Adam Ahlberk, Swedish calisthenics athlete and founder of Provity, to talk all things supplements — what works, what doesn’t, and what actually matters when it comes to performance in Streetlifting and Calisthenics.

We start with Adam’s personal journey into the sport, how he moved from athlete to coach and eventually developed his own supplement line for elite-level calisthenics athletes. From there, we dive deep into the most relevant supplements for performance, recovery, and endurance — and just as importantly, when not to waste your money.

Adam shares his Top 5 performance supplements, gives dosage recommendations, talks about timing, and breaks down common myths in the fitness industry. We also explore the philosophy behind Provity: science-backed, transparent formulas, and real results — but only once the basics (training, recovery, and nutrition) are dialed in.

🎙️ This episode is for you if:• You’re already training seriously in Calisthenics or Streetlifting• You want to optimize performance without gimmicks• You’re curious about what actually goes into launching a legit supplement brand
