  • #058: Daniele Mendoza on Streetlifting in Australia, Coaching Gaps & Lifting Goals for 2026
    Dec 11 2025

    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.

  • #057: Supplements in Calisthenics – What Really Works? ft. Adam Ahlberk (Founder of Provity)
    Nov 12 2025

    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

    Nov 4 2025

    In this episode, I’m joined by Samuel Kidane and Albin Gordan, the minds behind Streetlifting Nordic, to take you behind the scenes of one of the most anticipated competition of the Nordic Region of the year: Streetlifting Nordic 2025, happening November 15–16 at the Power Fitness Expo in Stockholm.

    Samuel and Albin, both active athletes in the sport, are stepping back from competition this year to focus entirely on organizing and developing the event platform. We discuss the unique structure and rules of Streetlifting Nordic, how it compares to Final Rep standards, and what makes it a standout event for the Nordic community.

    We also talk about:
    → How they fund and run the event without external investors
    → Building a competition brand from the ground up
    → Coaching, merch, livestreams, and future expansion plans
    → Athlete highlights and expectations for this year’s female and male classes
    → The long-term vision for a Nordic Streetlifting ecosystem – including future amateur events, coaching programs, and even a dedicated gym


    This episode gives you a full inside look into what it really takes to organize a high-level competition – and what’s ahead for the growth of Streetlifting in Northern Europe.

  • #055: Behind Final Rep – Origins, Vision & the Future of International Streetlifting with Tim Reichel
    Oct 23 2025

    In this episode, I’m joined by Tim Reichel, co-founder of Final Rep, to talk about the past, present, and future of one of the most influential organizations in the international Streetlifting scene.

    We take a deep dive into the origins of Final Rep, how it grew from a grassroots idea into a structured competition platform, and what drives Tim and his team to keep pushing the sport forward—largely without financial return, but full of passion and long-term vision.

    Together, we reflect on the recent Final Rep World Championships 2025, discuss athlete feedback, and address some of the key questions around the event, organization, and company transparency that are currently circulating within the community.

    Tim also shares exciting insights into upcoming plans:
    → The restructuring of Final Rep into multiple entities
    → A shift from the German Open to the German Nationals
    → Hosting three Continental Championships in 2026 (Europe, Asia, Americas)
    → Expansion of Final Rep’s Street Workout competitions and new qualification pathways
    → The challenges and goals of implementing more transparent doping tests
    → Long-term ideas for global Final Rep organizations and a consistent ruleset

    Whether you’re an athlete, organizer, or simply care about the direction of our sport—this episode offers the clearest picture yet of what’s going on behind the scenes at Final Rep.
