Each Sunday morning can be pretty ominous and in more ways than one. It's nerve wracking and fills you with dread.
You hear a buzz. It's your iPhone. Through squinted eyes you pick up your phone and quickly find yourself overcome with shame.
The weekly screen time notification.
It gives a new meaning to the Sunday scaries.
Rob has recently decided to give up two forms of social media: Facebook and Instagram. There wasn't a major reason or event that instigated Rob to do this. It was mainly a feeling that his life and time was being meaninglessly consumed by social media and the endless scrolling that ensues.
We thought we'd sit down and chat a bit more about why Rob decided to do this and some of the positive and negatives that have come with it.
This is a really interesting discussion and worth a listen regardless of if you are considering reducing your screen time or not!
Topics discussed:– Why Rob decided to delete his Facebook and Instagram accounts– The benefits of reducing social media usage and what Rob uses his extra time for– The things Rob has missed out on and how this has affected him– How Rob would approach deleting social media if he had his time again– What Rob was accused of by some of his friends

EPISODE 37: What Happens When You Mix Yoga with the Pfizer Vaccine?
The last 2 years have been full of talk surrounding COVID-19 and vaccines, but rest assured, we're not here to add to that. Instead, we gave the stage to Rob who describes his experiences following his first dose of the Pfizer vaccine.
In the days before receiving his vaccine, Rob decided that yoga would be his new hobby. Rob was feeling revitalised, recommending that every man, woman and their dog take up yoga as well. But suddenly, this yoga participation had some somewhat adverse effects on Rob's physical condition and mental stability.
For Rob, this lead to a week filled with terror and panic. For Sean and Damo, while some empathy was directed Rob's way, the reaction was pure amusement.
For a free shot at ridiculing Rob, you must listen to this episode of the DeakHeads podcast. You may feel sorry for Rob, you may laugh at him. Honestly, you're probably right either way but we'll let you be the judge.

EPISODE 36: Velocity Based Training (VBT) & Metric with Jacob Tober
Velocity based training (VBT) has been simply put as an objective method of analyzing the intensity of a particular exercise. VBT has grown to prominence and can be used to evaluate how well an athlete performed an exercise (e.g., Squat, Deadlift, Bench Press) and even used as a prescription tool for reps and sets.
There's a lot of confusion surrounding the term VBT and even the name might not be that accurate to reflect what velocity based training actually is. We can think of VBT as a method that uses the velocity of movement to guide training. But instead of speculating about VBT, we thought we'd get an expert in to explain VBT with us (and also talk about their brilliant new app).
It's only taken a year, but the TRIAX boys have their first special guest on the DeakHeads podcast...
Jacob Tober, a strength and conditioning coach and sport scientist was gracious enough to come on the DeakHeads podcast to talk all things Velocity based training (VBT). Jacob is the head of research and education at Metric, a revolutionary velocity based training app. Metric enables lifters and coaches to accurately track velocity, range of motion and power using just their smartphone camera. Jacob has also worked as a strength and conditioning coach at Core Advantage Athletic Development since 2013.
In this podcast the TRIAX boys and Jacob discuss:
- What is Velocity Based Training
- Velocity based training explained
- How VBT can be used in preseason and in-season
- How VBT can be incorporated into the gym program
- Using VBT alongside other markers of athlete readiness/wellness (e.g., RPE)
- Preparing for your preseason on the back of the COVID hiatus
- The Metric App: how it can be used to incorporate VBT into your program and help you as a coach/athlete
- Misconceptions of VBT
