Brady Volmering returns to the show to discuss training and how to get the most from your efforts. He introduced an idea called Feed Forward, which is all about setting an intention.

If you missed our first episode on rehabbing injuries last year, you can find that here. It was the best performing episode of the year so it's worth the listen.

My good friend, coach, author, and BJJ coach Daniel Strauss joined me on the podcast today. He's a brilliant mind that explores movement and philosophy. We talked all about grip training and how to build an incredibly strong body. Also, birds, grappling, and mythology. And other stuff. This is an excellent conversation to listen and learn from. We get into fun stuff.

This is Daniel's book The Grappler's Guide To Grip Training. I read it and highly recommend: https://www.google.com/search?client=safari&rls=en&q=grapplers+guide+to+grip+tarining&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8

I was fortunate enough to catch Alex Kikel in this conversation for a discussion about health, specifically as it relates to pregnancy and reproduction. Alex works as a coach and consultant to help people do everything from healing disease to winning Olympic medals. And since he's on his fourth kid, he's developed a deep knowledge about how to make the pregnancy process go smoothly.

I skipped the whole intro formalities because I wanted to get into the details, but if you want to hear more about his approach and background, I enjoyed these two podcasts:
