Lift Free And Diet Hard with Andrew Coates

Angus Bradley is one of the most entertaining and educational strength coaches in the industry. I learn new things frequently so I needed to pick his brain in this podcast interview. Angus’s excitement and enthusiasm for our craft is infectious in this episode, and we dive into his thoughts including:

• Angus’s thoughts on fitness influencers who do bodybuilding for 10+ years then credit yoga, pilates, or functional training for their physique
• The definition of functional training
• Why stability isn’t a trainable quality, and what it really is
• What Angus means by “I used to think Zone 3 was no man’s land, now it’s where I spend most of my training”
• What does zone 3 feel like
• Why Angus thinks hybrid training has a better overall payoff in life than highly specialized training for most people
• How Angus applies this mindset in training: “The spine only becomes fragile if you treat it like it’s fragile”
• Why older adults should do plyometrics
• And a lot more animated thoughts and ideas

Dr Jordan Feigenbaum is a medical doctor, strength coach, elite powerlifter, and founder of Barbell Medicine and joins me to break down the evidence about:

Why the narrative about losing muscle mass while using GLP-1 agonist and similar weight loss drugs may be more misleading than you believe

Why GLP-1 agonist drugs may be even better than diet alone for liver fat, even when equated for resistance training

Is overtraining real

What may really be going on instead of overtraining

Why recognizing that overtraining is mostly presented as a boogeyman helps trainees

The problem with moral narratives around weight loss drugs

Where weight loss drug resistance comes from with fitness professionals

Is there any evidence that weight loss drugs cause bone loss independent of calorie restriction

What Jordan means with the statement: “The window for building bone density closes while most women are being told to do pilates”

Is there a relationship between form and injury risk

The problem with defining what “bad form” is

Are you a nutrition coach? Are you a client of a nutrition coach or a nutrition coaching business? Are you someone who’s been using GLP-1 agonist medications for fat loss or are you someone who’s used AI like ChatGPT or a nutrition coaching app? This is for you.

Mike Doehla returns to talk about the current state of nutrition coaching and nutrition coaching businesses now that Stronger U has shut down, and there are significant differences in other well known nutrition coaching companies in recent years.

As the founder and chief architect of Stronger U, a nutrition company valued at over “8 figures” at the time he sold it, Mike shares his perspective on:

Has the nutrition coaching landscape changed

Are people now choosing between the cost of nutrition coaching and the cost of GLP-1 agonist (or similar) medications

Will fat loss medications change the nutrition coaching business

Does someone now need nutrition coaching or personal training even more if using these medications

Is the improvement and access to low cost high quality nutrition coaching apps changing the nutrition coaching business

Will people use AI to help with nutrition and replace a coach

Has competition in nutrition coaching increased

Mike’s thoughts on coaches using AI to fake interactions with followers and clients

Mike’s thoughts on the pushback against talking about fat loss from some loud corners of the industry

Can you still build a successful nutrition coaching company

What would Mike do differently if he started over now

Is the departure of founders and key architects like Mike, Dr John Berardi, Krista Scott-Dixon, etc hard to overcome as a nutrition coaching business
