Diary Of A Big Lad

By: Osborne Road Productions
  • Summary

  • When it comes to self-improvement, Chade O’Brien has seen and tried it all. From fad diets and personal trainers to chasing mystical fitness unicorns. However, after more ups-and-downs in the gym than Arnie’s dumbbells, 2022 saw Chade logging what genuinely worked and sharing his success on social media. This evolved into the 'Diary Of A Big Lad Podcast' – an ordinary 'big lad's guide to fitness, sharing nuggets of wisdom from his journey.


    Join the North's sweatiest man (and his wobbly wingman, Nico) as they tackle a new fitness topic each week, sifting through the myths to discover what truly gets results. They run exercises, experiment with different methods and interview guests on their ongoing quest to not only finding the methods that work the best for them, but helping you hone in on which ones can work for you!

  • The Challenge Begins
    Oct 21 2024

    Send a Message to the Big Lad!

    Last week the lads set themselves a challenge of achieving a personal goal by the 25th of December, the forfeit of failing said challenge being incredibly high stakes punishment of which they will go into detail of here.

    From 4:40 there's a FULL 10 minutes of 'second-time dad' talk, so if that's your bag it's well worth a listen!

    When they finally get down to talking about their challenges, they inevitably get on the subject of habits. The word habit is used about 560 times so if you want to join in and see if you can approach your challenge like the lads sit back, relax, and prepare to hear the words 'habit'. Habit.

    In short, they finalise their challenges and dip into how they plan to tackle them. If you're joining in at home (and why not!), we'd love to hear what yours are and how your getting on via the Fan Mail feature or at the usual email address.

    ‘Diary Of A Big Lad’ is an Osborne Road Production featuring Chade O’Brien and Nico Diodoro. Theme tune written and performed by Jay Stevens.

    Oct 14 2024

    Send a Message to the Big Lad!

    This week the lads throw down a challenge for themselves (which you can, and should join in on at home!) and Chade reviews the psychotic forfeit he's dreamt up to make sure they get it done!

    Also this week, Chade mentions how much weight he plans to lose in the coming months. As always, safety is of high importance to us, so if you're wondering what he's basing his goal on, here's some info from our old pals in the NHS for you to peruse should you be thinking of shedding a few pounds in a healthy fashion!!

    The lovely introduction this week was performed by (and used with permission from) BAC Beatbox Academy! For more information about what they do and have coming up find them HERE!

    Also, as this week is all about setting realistic challenges (a fun word for goals), we'd love you to join in with us. For information on how to set an effective and achievable goal for yourself, why not listen to our old classic episode:
    Creating A 60 Day Plan Work Through: An Italian Stallion's Goals

    We're obviously not sponsored or paid for any kind of advertising (not surprising if you've heard us am I right?!), we just like to mention things ok?
