For this weeks Strength Chat, it was an absolutely epic episode. In this episode I had the oppurtunity to chat with a powerlifter who competed at the elite level across mutiple weight classes and the Co-Founder of EliteFTS, Dave Tate. To be able to chat to Dave who has such a wealth of knowledge and experience was awesome. In this episode we covered how strength coaching and practises have changed over time, the pros and cons of trying to be different as a coach, and lessons that can be learnt from powerlifting and strength training.

For this weeks Strength Chat, I caught up with Ross Mackenley of Aesthetically Trained. I always enjoy catching up with this guy. He knows his stuff and doesn't hide away from mincing his words. I mean, all you have to do is look at the results he gets with his clients to see he backs up everything he says. In this episode, we chatted about how actually losing fat can make you look like you have more muscle, getting a V shape, and where lads can get mislead when it comes to finding the right information.

In this episode, we covered whether having movement issues or coming back from an injury can be classed as a dysfunction, does everything have to be fixed, and how to manage training around an injury.

It was a real pleasure to be able to chat to Strength and Conditioning Coach and Cystic Fibrosis Exercise Specialist, Taylor Lewis. This was a really interesting chat as I learnt so much myself.

In this episode, we chatted about Taylors work with Cystic Fibrosis clients, what the research says in terms of the benefits of strength training for people with Cystic Fibrosis, and what more can be done to improve the services and training for people with Cystic Fibrosis.
