This week’s question comes from Mike’s Instagram:   “Would you ever be able to talk about overhead and planning from when you opened 3SB (our gym, Third Street Barbell)?”  So yeah, we can…and we do! The financial part is definitely not the hardest part, but it’s important for sure.Sebastian Brambila (@sebastian_brambila) ran the board and chimed in on this one.  Do you have a question for one of our Friday “One Good Question” episodes?

The lowdown on what we spent to open our gym? | One Good Question

Mike "Silent Mike" Farr and Jim McDonald are entrepreneurs (lifestyle apparel company and a barbell gym) and veteran podcasters. In every episode, they try to answer a single question. Any question is fair game, but most involve health, fitness, nutrition, mental health, culture…even sex. They examine common misconceptions and then try to get to the correct answer -- often with the help of subject matter experts. They walk away with a better sense of the facts…and so do you. Full episodes every Wednesday. Shorter episodes every Friday, dedicated to answering a question from listeners.Business inquiries: Jim@thejimmcd.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/50-facts-with-silent-mike-jim-mcd--5538735/support.

Is program (or coach) hopping bad? | One Good Question

We all see a lot of repetition among fitness influencers. Even the best, most informed ones fall into the trap of repeating tropes that don’t matter to anyone’s health or fitness.For sure, the content game is tough, and coming up with new topics is an exercise in scarcity. We talk about a few of the ones that bug us the most.  We also discussed the recent passing of NBA legend Bill Walton and his impact on the sport and culture.

Fitness tropes that yuck your yum for no good reason

This week’s question arose from a recent conversation Mike had with Omar Isuf:   "What's your 'cranky old man' opinion?”  Things change over time, and change doesn’t always make us happy. And the older we get, the easier it is to be cranky about it.  Sebastian Brambila (@sebastian_brambila) ran the board and chimed as well.  Do you have a question for one of our Friday “One Good Question” episodes?

What’s your “cranky old man” opinion? | One Good Question

The International Powerlifting Federation (IPF) has been the only truly “official” vehicle for powerlifters hoping to compete on an international stage. The federation has written into its constitution rules that are supposed to prevent the taint of members participating in untested competitions hosted by other federations, but now it is being used to punish Sean Koch, a dedicated powerlifter from Liechtenstein competing for Switzerland and currently attending university in the US. Due to his scholarship, he’s required to compete in the USAPL (which is no longer affiliated with the IPF). Competing there has drawn a ban from the IPF.Clearly, he’s in a no-win situation. His only recourse is to file suit.   Has the rule gone too far – to the point of unfairness? Especially if it is not being applied equally across all member nations?  Sebastian Brambila (@sebastian_brambila) ran the board and chimed as well.  Do you have a question for one of our Friday “One Good Question” episodes?

IPF sued for Article 14

This week’s question:  “What makes someone a good coaching client?”  We see conversations online about coaches that are unqualified and really...uninterested in helping their clients. But coaching is really a two-way street. What responsibilities does a client have to make the best of their coaching dollars?  Our new trainer at Third Street Barbell, Tiffany Powers (@_tiffdeadlifts) gives us her perspective.   Sebastian Brambila (@sebastian_brambila) ran the board and chimed in as well.  Do you have a question for one of our Friday “One Good Question” episodes?
