Women are built differently than men. Following a training program that gets the best results for a man may not work all that well for a woman. There may be adjustments needed on volume, intensity, position, etc. But these slight adjustments can lead to better performance.

In today's episode of RX'D Radio, Shallow and Jiunta are joined by Kayla as they talk about alterations in training based on gender differences. They share their own experiences and knowledge on the changes needed. The predisposition of a person, muscle fiber type, hormones, morphology, and receptivity are some things they discuss as they go over how each affects the movement and performance of a person.

This episode offers valuable insights on the changes in programming that need to be made to enable women to perform better. If you want to level up your exercise programming, don't forget to subscribe and tune in to RX'D Radio!

Gun possession laws, checking per unit prices of eggs, and sham fitness programs. Sometimes people do dumb things, or they get away with a lot. This is what we see happening all the time. The world revolves around money, and your perception of your value may be different from the world.

In this episode, Killian Hamilton is back with us to talk about charging more for the service you provide. Killian discusses the many who offer mediocre coaching and ask for a lot of money. If you know your worth and truly want to help people, charging more allows you to devote more time to your client. You get to make a living and still give value.

This episode gives us an interesting take on money, providing value, and helping others. If you want to level up your training programming, don't forget to subscribe and tune in to RX'D Radio for the detailed discussion!

We're seeing hyper specificity in sports training when people should be building up resiliency and strength. Doing the sport already trains you to do that sport. Engaging in hyper specificity could lead to greater imbalance and more injuries.

In this episode of RX'D Radio, our special guest, Dr. Clementina Russo, talks about the importance of intention in program design. Intention plays a big role when it comes to training. Where we want to be, influences the choices we will make.

Dr. Clementina shares where her choices have led her and discusses with the guys the problem that happens when people who don't have the knowledge and experience go around telling people what to do.

It's about time we think more deeply why we're lifting weights and doing squats. Is your program helping you to reach your goal? What is your end goal? If you want to level up your exercise programming, don't forget to subscribe and tune in to RX'D Radio!

No one likes to learn base principles anymore. Social media has made it easy for people to just watch a YouTube video on lifting and do it themselves. Skill acquisition is fundamental in the mastery of any craft. To prevent injury, you need to have knowledge of the marriage between movement, anatomy, and physiology.

In this episode, Shallow and Jiunta have a chat with Killian Hamilton and go over the different stages of skill acquisition. They talk about the importance of having a deep understanding of any craft, the loss of respect for lifting, and specialization as a valuable skill.

We get a bird's eye view of the interplay of learning and application. If you want to get a deeper understanding of mastering the art of lifting, make sure to tune in to RX'D Radio for the detailed discussion!

Social media has made it easy for anyone to claim that they're strength coaches or business owners or whatever title they can think of that they are not qualified for. While some people spend years of study and practice before they would even promote themselves like that, more and more people are spreading wrong information online that could potentially lead to injury.

In today's episode of RX'D Radio, Shallow and Jiunta talk about treating low back pain by looking at biomechanics, function, and psychology. They both express their irritation towards so-called strength coaches who use their bias and influence to promote outdated practices. This makes it important for real coaches to step up and challenge those people spreading misinformation.

Progressive overload is a fundamental fitness principle. To build strength and mass, you need to gradually increase the intensity, frequency, or volume of your routine. The same principle applies when facing adversity and going through hard times.

In this episode, we are joined by William Elliott and Killian Hamilton. William talks about dealing with a genetic cardiovascular disease since childhood, powerlifting, and finding fulfillment in helping other people. His perspective on adversity and resilience enables him to live life and do the things he enjoys.

This episode offers an inspiring outlook on life's struggles and helping others. If you wish to find strength amidst life's adversities, make sure to tune in to RX'D Radio for the detailed discussion!

To be a competitive athlete, choosing your weightlifting coach is critical. You would like to improve your strength and conditioning and learn the proper lifting techniques from a skilled coach who fully understands the athletic experience. A good coach is someone who has a competitive experience and a genuine understanding of weightlifting training programming.

In today's episode of RX'D Radio, we're on the show with weightlifting coach Zack Telander to talk in detail about the world of weightlifting coaching as a profession. He also shares how he uses YouTube as a platform to provide informative content and to reach a wider audience.

Zack Telander is an outstanding coach in weightlifting, CrossFit, and to multiple sports at Texas A&M University and Northwestern University. Zack has a USAW-Level 2 coaching certification and is a weightlifting coach at Juggernaut Training Systems and Texas A&M.

• Zack grew up as an athlete in a very athletic home. Playing high school football drew him to the weight room.
• After graduating from the University of Vermont, he went to a CrossFit gym, and there he was inspired to be a coach.
• After he got his level one in CrossFit, he started to advance. In 2014, he started training with one of the coaches and did his first weightlifting meet.
• He eventually got his USAW-Level One and got a full-time job as a CrossFit coach.
• As a CrossFit coach, he was able to teach non-athletic people the "snatch, and the clean and jerk" on a high volume.
• The golden standard for getting into strength and conditioning is passing the Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS) exam.
• After passing the CSCS exam, he got an internship at Northwestern University and Texas A&M University. When he got into College Station, he started competing again on weightlifting and started personal training for profit.

• In 2016, he started getting into YouTube. After a while, he started making and uploading CrossFit videos.
• After releasing his videos, a guy commented that there's no story in his content.
• For Zack, he wanted to deliver his expertise and combat issues on the CrossFit community. He started writing and doing voice overs to try and give solutions to these problems.
• From 1,000 views, he has now reached almost 100,000 subscribers.

• He does remote coaching and coaching in-person.
• Physical coaching is essential for development.
• Actual interaction is critical in being a coach. Coaches have to know how to interact and how to calm people down.
• In terms of ROI, weightlifting coaching as a profession is always going to be relatively low.
• Most weightlifting coaches do it out of passion, but they have other sources of income.

• You can get a lot stronger with low percentage squats. It's all about positioning and speed.
• Rate of perceived exertion or RPE is the rating on how hard you work. It's hard to perform a good rate with dynamic movements such as snatch, clean and jerk.
• Max Aita, the Head of Juggernaut Training Systems Weightlifting Coach, and Zack's mentor invented a scale for RPE.
• Zack, on the other hand, gives ranges with the eye. By following those rules, they can go as heavy or as light as they want.
• He uses these techniques to breed a culture in the gym and instill to people that he coaches.

• The only real prescription for training is an ideal movement.
• Overload movements like poles or squats are heavier and more fatiguing than clean and jerk or snatch.
• There are many tricks you can do if your lifter is fatigued and is not feeling good instead of just putting in arbitrary percentages.
• When you introduce novelty, the person just forgets that they're lifting heavy.

• Block periodization: Working on one aspect of training; this can be (1) muscle building, (2) muscular endurance, and (3) strength.
• Concurrent periodization: Here, you're working on all three aspects, but you undulate the amount of intensity and load in each phase.
• Daily undulating periodization: If you stress the body, it needs time to recover.
• The real trick of programming is understanding how you can emotionally tap into the athlete without scaring them.

• To gauge an athlete's performance, he watches them every day. The system is feedback; communicate consistently to athletes as a coach.
• Reporting fatigue is very hard for athletes, and it takes years of training to understand how to accurately and efficiently assess your own fatigue.
• You have to determine how many days you're going to implement stressors (e.g., very high intensities clean and jerk).
• As a coach, you have to see all the factors and what's happening and make the right adjustments unique to each athlete.

• Focus on the quality of the execution as the end goal.
• As an athlete, you have to take responsibility on how to regulate and make adjustments for yourself.
• You also have to be interested in experimenting, changing, and holding yourself accountable. Your coach is just there to guide you through all that.
• Zack works mostly with college students, and he realized they don't really understand a lot of these concepts.
• It is essential to be interested in the sport enough to learn about the simplest to the most complex terminologies.
• If athletes understand what they're getting into, they will not end up quitting.
