Applied Training Podcast

In this episode I sit down with Jake Smith and we talk about the influence of genetics on metabolism. We share our perspectives on how much is within our control based off the environment you grew up in, what you did as a kid, and how you behave as an adult. What Type of Person Are You triggers the notion that your behaviors and habits are dictated off the type of person that YOU think You are.

In this episode Sam and I talk about the influence her in depth athletic background had on starting and creating an online safe space business for men and women to work on overcoming limiting beliefs like self doubt, insecurities and the inability to get out of your own way. Sam has mastered her craft and niche of empowering individuals to be the greatest version of their own SELF.

In this episode of ATP I sit down with Dan & Tasha, these two have mentored me and hundreds of other coaches over the past 15 years. So we go deep into what got them started, how they stay motivated and what it means to be an authentic coach that conducts themselves as a professional but also foster a close relationship with clients. We also talk about mindset for heavy lifting, program structure and visualization. These two have a world of knowledge and am happy I got to sit down and talk with both of them.

In this episode of ATP I sit down with Josh Bond and talk about the influence PRI has had on his unique style of training and how he blends non-manual breathing techniques into his clients' strength programs to help them rid low back pain, knee pain and remain pain-free as they continue to build strength. We also talk about the ever-changing online world of training clients professionally. Josh has constructed a diverse following of clientele through private facebook groups, marketing himself through social media and creating a well-developed website with tons of free content. I really enjoyed this easy-flowing, informative conversation I had with Josh Bond!

In this episode Jacob and I talk about meditation, optimal homeostasis and what it means to live and train in an optimal state. We also discuss the impact personal trainers/coaches have on the gym environment and it's members. This was a special episode to record with a ton of valuable information and perspectives Jacob shares with his experience and transformation of applying holistic lifestyle practices into his daily routine.

In this episode I discuss why I believe implementing all three planes of motion into your training program, regardless of goal, can bring you more gains, keep you pain-free and build confidence with new movement patterns. The sagittal plane should always be the back bone of movements to focus on when building strength...but, adding movements that compliment these lifts should involve different variations of accessory movements or secondary lifts that can get you burning more calories, asking more from the body and emphasizing coordination to keep your body durable, stable and agile. 

In this episode I sit down with Jake Smith, Crossfit coach of 6 years and full time trainer for the past 3 years. We talk about Crossfit, how he got involved, what the games/competitions are like and how approached the prep leading up to competition day. We also discuss the differences in coaching groups compared to 1:1 training and the different complexities each practice has to offer from a coaching perspective. The conversation finishes up with Jake talking about his mental approach to 20 minute all out AMRAP Crossfit workouts and then squatting 95% of his 1RM for three reps. The benefits of intentional stress training through lifting weights has yielded massive beneficial results in both our lives in different ways.
