The Weight List full length megasode with George Lockhart & Dan Leith

Diet and nutrition are vital parts of an athlete’s training, and in a sport like MMA, where weight cuts make all the difference, it pays to be well informed. The buck doesn’t stop there, though.

The Three Amigos Podcast hopes to remove the guesswork from that data sifting via our excellent weekly segment, The Weight List, featuring weight cutting and nutrition specialist, George Lockhart and our own Iain Kidd, has been a show staple for the past year, and has covered many topics in a condensed, easy listening, 15-minute weekly episode.
