PhysiQademy

Achievement through learning. Learning through achievement. Our library is you. Our task in the PhysiQademy isn't to hand you the answers.

Our task is to help you find answers on your own. And while rote knowledge is crucial when constructing an exercise program, mastering a sport or improving diet, all the knowledge in the world is useless without the wisdom to use it properly. Whether you're just beginning to put it all together, an intermediate athlete looking for an edge,or an advanced leader in developing physical performance, w

e all come across new questions, challenges and roadblocks. And while information is handy, it's the wisdom on how to apply it that we all need a hand with. That's why each level of the PhysiQademy approaches these answers in a different way, because need a hand in finding new answers. You see, the PhysiQademy is a community of coaches, mentors, trainers and thinkers who combine their experiences to help refine that wisdom. We pool information and knowledge to help vet out what's most practical. We don't just share successes and failures, we compare them, trying to discern where things went right and wrong. And we use tools of reason, rationale and logic to advance our goals, dreams and visions. So while we apply the usual information resources, we have found that evaluating our own work among peers often yields far more practical information than facts on a page. It's like we're each a volume of useful data, and each new student athlete in the PhysiQademy adds yet another book of useful ideas, information and methods. Even though you come to us with questions, we all gain from seeking out the answers. You hold a lot of those answers in you already; you just need guidance to flesh them out. That's why we're eager to coach you. At the PhysiQademy, our library is you.

When you lift, you change your body’s shape, right?

Well, that’s also may be how we create gender.

The Big Inside host Christian Matyi, a/k/a “XN,” tackles the fascinating topic of how changing our shape creates – and sometimes conflicts – with how society understands our gender.

We’re joined by self-proclaimed “regular guy,” collegiate wrestler Mack Beggs, as well as professors Kareem Kubchandani and Stephan Pennington to discuss how changing our body’s shape to perform gender is maybe one of the most normal aspects of just being human.

Plus, one of the coolest Little Insider segments at the end of the show. (CAT JACKET!) All this and more on this very masculine episode of The Big Inside.

What is the most important meal of the day? The Big Inside’s show host Christian Matyi, a/k/a “XN,” is betting he knows what you’re gonna say. What you’re probably not expecting is how what we think we know about breakfast may not be quite what we assumed. XN dives into the background of this nostalgic meal armed with a pack of nutrition-savvy athletes and the amazing food historian and author Heather Arndt Anderson. What we pull up might make you forget about whether or not breakfast is the most important meal of the day, but instead wonder why you thought that in the first place.

Just how much does your personal aesthetic – the way you look to others – impact what you create?

In the second of a two-part episode of the podcast, The Big Inside, show host Christian Matyi, a/k/a “XN,” is joined again by very special guest Liam O’Donnell, director, writer, and producer of 2017’s sci-fi flick “Beyond Skyline.” They unpack how, whether we know it or not, aesthetics are constantly reshaping how we represent ourselves in the world.

From the latest episode of the podcast the PhysiQademy helps research:

We’re back for our tenth (we think) season! And we are opening this run of episodes with a very special guest: Liam O’Donnell, movie director, producer and writer most known for the 2017 sci fi action flick, “Beyond Skyline.”

Liam gave show host Christian Matyi (a/k/a “XN”) a whole lot of interview. So much, in fact, that we are going to present our stories with Liam in two parts. This episode is the first of two parts.

Liam shares a fascinating backstory that may shift how we perceive the power of physical aesthetics. And yes, Schwarzenegger makes an appearance in the narrative. (Because he always does, right?) The tale is a little different than you might think, and sets a stage for how he perceives the world, which sets us up to learn more about the film itself in part 2.

Men's Physique is a pointless exercise when it comes to drug-tested competitions. And it may not only be a pointless pursuit, but also highly destructive. While more and more "insta-fame" lusting men flock to this bastard pageant, the sport from which it emerged – bodybuilding itself – is being deteriorated. Cause for alarm among competitors? Coach XN thinks so . . . and here's his Mr. Miyagi version of wisdom for y'all.

Men's physique may be the worst thing to happen to bodybuilding. But drug-tested competitors are actually working against their own benefit most of all!

Don’t be mistaken: Tolerance and patience are achieved through conscientious practice, not through a single resolution. And finding the ability to become a more understanding and patient person may be found in some of the most unlikely – and socially abrasive – circumstances. Take a look at this think-piece on how tolerating even the obnoxious, Instagram-selfie-addicted show-offs and egotists of the world can teach us how to become less self-important and more compassionate ourselves.

How running into a half-naked muscle brute showing off on a city street
might hold a secret lesson in transforming your world into a more tolerant
