GreenStrength Podcast

Being technical in your lifts and movements should be a goal for everyone, but we also have to recognize that we exercise to get in shape. That means you also need to be pushing it, finding ways to work around little injuries, and moving more both inside and out of the gym.

This week on the GreenStrength Podcast, Coach Luke and Geoff talk about going from zero to one. Sometimes we get lost in researching and planning and thinking about things, which holds us up from getting started. Then, once we get started, we are too focused on reaching 100 and forget that we still need to do those 0 to 1 things that lay the foundation for success. Join us for a discussion about not forgetting the zero to one foundations. Happy Thanksgiving from the GreenStrength Podcast crew!

Exercise is a stress that we put on our body with the intent of getting stronger, healthier, and fitter. In order to maximize the improvement and adaptation from exercise we have to make sure our bodies are prepared to adapt to the exercise stress. This requires we manage ALL the stress in our life in order to give our body the best platform for adapting to the exercise stress. This means we have to manage our sleep, nutrition, work, exercise routine, and more in order to keep a balance that leads to optimal adaptation and improvement. 

Coach Luke and Geoff also discuss a recent conversation about kettlebells vs. barbells and how experience, quality, and age can impact how you use different tools. They also discuss figuring out the "why" behind the exercises you are performing so you can assess the way you train on a deeper level.

This week on the GreenStrength Podcast, Coach Luke, Coach Hialee, and Geoff discuss a listener question about rebuilding mobility into your squat pattern. Squatting is a fundamental human movement, but we need to make sure our squat pattern is done with quality. We also talk about about figuring out why you want to squat a particular depth and whether that is necessary. We also talk a lot about training around injury and, specifically, lower back pain. Many of us suffer from some amount of lower back pain, and we have to embrace the realities of that pain and how we can train around the pain. This episode is great for all of us who don't like to admit that all of our movements may not be perfect and our bodies don't always feel perfect.

This week on the GreenStrength Podcast, Coach Luke and Geoff cover a variety of topics from what it takes to find and fix weaknesses in your body, fighting boredom in your training, intuitive training and eating, being skeptical of the things you see online, and being skeptical of your own beliefs. This week's episode is a reminder that we are all human with weaknesses and flaws, but a little intention and open-mindedness can help us connect to ourselves and others.
