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!

    Chade battles through a solo ep with the flu!

    What better way to start the year than with Chade talking YOU through his morning routine!

    There’s been much talk of Chade’s infamous morning routine, so this week, he thought it might be helpful to take you through each move while he does them!

    Of course, be safe, Chade’s not a personal training expert, but these are moves taught to him by people who are. This is designed as a guide to what Chade does, do not partake in any exercises, ever, without first consulting a medical professional incase of any heart conditions or other health risks, this ep serves solely as a record of each move as Chade does them. I wish I didn't have to write this but I hate the idea of someone jumping straight in with zero prep and injuring themselves.

    If you enjoyed the style of this episode, or even if you didn’t, please drop us an email at the below address. If you loved it, Chade can do much more!

    ‘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.

  • Christmas 2024 - Chade O'Brien in 'Die(t) Hard'
    Dec 23 2024

    Send a Message to the Big Lad!

    Chaders and Nico bring you an extra large Christmas-Dinner-sized helping of the pod with this years very special Christmas Episode!!

    Firstly Chade introduces a new acronym that’s helped him achieve his goal (and will hopefully help you!). They struggle with maths, discuss at the ins and out of the best Christmassy foods that’ll be filling our shops, tables, and tums!!

    WARNING!! There is ALOT of food chat!

    Chade talks about some healthy alternatives to classic Christmas foods and Nico relays his idea for a healthier, lighter substitute for a mince pie and Christmas tipple. Prepare to be wowed!

    FURTHER WARNING: Two sessions of (arguably) terrible singing quickly occur only at the beginning and the end, please do not panic and switch off whilst making a New Years resolution to never give independent podcasters a try and/or try a new podcast again.

    FURTHER FURTHER WARNING: Slightly cheekier episode than usual, the Holiday Spirits are high and even though there's nothing heavy enough to classify as 'explicit', their are innuendos!

    Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night!
