Podcasting has boomed in the last five years. It seems like everyone has hopped on the podcasting train.
Hollywood director, and uber nerd, Kevin Smith has a podcast. Magician Penn Jillette, comedian Joe Rogan, and even famed wrestler Ric Flair record and produce their own podcasts.
A modern evolution of talk radio, podcasts, take us off the radio waves and let us surf the high seas of the internet in search of the content we most connect with.
Need to get better with money? There are hundreds of podcasts that will help you balance your budget.
Do you collapse worse than Jordan Spieth when talking to women? It’s cool bromiego, there are more than enough podcasts to help you improve your game.
Eighteen thousands hours of Sportscenter not enough for you? iTunes has a plethora of sports talk podcasts.
There is a good chance that whatever your passion is someone’s created a podcast for it.
But you’re a barbell crushing, protein pounding, deadlift demolishing bro. Of course, you don’t want a podcast on knitting.
You want your eardrums soothed by the sweet sounds of bros talking about doing our favorite bro stuff like lifting and drinking.
There are hundreds, if not thousands, of fitness podcasts out there. Below is a list of the 5 best fitness podcasts on the interwebs.
Barbell Shrugged
Voted the #1 fitness podcast on the iTunes store, Barbell Shrugged, is a powerhouse in the fitness community.
If you’re an avid Crossfitter, then you’ve probably listened to a few episodes of this show.
These guys cover everything from mobility to Olympic lifts, nutrition, and mindset. They also deal out a ton of great tips for how to make your lifts more efficient and keep you injury free.
Plus their ridiculous tangents and ramblings are worth listening to. It feels authentic and not like you’re watching an interview on MSNBC.
The FitCast
Hosted by Kevin Larrabee, The FitCast has been one of the longest running fitness podcasts on the internet.
Kevin has interviewed some of the best in the business like Craig Ballantyne, John Berardi, Eric Cressey, John Romaniello, Dan John, Ben Bruno, and more.
If you’re looking for a podcast where the biggest and best in the industry come to share their knowledge as well as insight, this is the podcast for you.
Jay Scotts Undisclosed Fitness Podcast
Drawn in by Jay’s sweet Southern drawl, he welcomes you to the show with a promise of truth and honesty.
When he drops that truth and honesty it will hit you harder than a shot of grandpa’s moonshine.
I consider Jay the Dick Tracy of the fitness industry. He’ll comb through the data, investigate claims, break down all the newest fitness crazes or fads and then lets you know if they’re up to snuff.
He also interviews some of the best in the industry as well.
Muscle for Life
Mike Matthews has written a ton of amazing fitness books as an author, but as a podcast host Mike, really excels.
If you want to stay ripped year round, this is the guy to listen to. Mike doesn’t sugar coat anything. He provides actionable steps in each episode or during interviews with his guests.
His show will show you how to live the life you’ve always wanted while staying ripped all year.
The Jay Ferruggia Show
You’re more hardcore than that, right? Maybe you’re from Jersey but now live elsewhere and miss that NJ attitude?
Jay Ferruggia is your man.
Constantly looking for ways to better himself, Jay is always trying to push to the next level and challenges you to join him.
He’ll show you how to build a strong mind, body, and spirit while embarking to live the most kick-ass life ever.
If intensity is your lifeblood, The Jay Ferruggia Show will be the heartbeat that pushes you further when the going gets tough.
Bonus: Side Quest Podcast
If Tim Ferriss and Nerdist had a lovechild it would be this podcast.
Each episode feels like two fitness personalities are sitting in your living room hanging out. Discussing an array of topics spanning fitness, Star Wars, video games, the NFL, or ridiculous stories from their past.
If you’re an avid BroBible reader, you’ll recognize some of the former guests. Many of them write for BroBible as well like Tanner Baze, Jorden Pagel, Matt Dustin, Adam Ali, Eric Bach and more.
Gainz for Your Brain
Instead of streaming music on Pandora or Spotify while you’re at work, walking around campus, or on your commute, give one of these podcasts a listen and level up your fitness knowledge.
