These questions just keep pouring in, so we're going to be doing more frequent, shorter episodes for a while and see what you all think. In this episode, I cover questions about developing speed, training barefoot, what to do when you're *under-weight*, if the overhead squat is valuable after shoulder surgery, how to break through plateaus, and how to improve the deadlift with Easy Strength. I hope you enjoy.

As always, thanks for listening!

I have another episode filled with questions for you. We have lots of good questions this week touching on topics like being an overweight personal trainer, isometrics with Easy Strength, maintaining health in your 60s, beginning training programs for 13 year olds, sticking to the order of Mass Made Simple in a crowded gym, how strong is strong enough, and several more. It was a fun one to record. I hope you enjoy it.

As always, thanks for listening!

This was a fun episode because Brian was here in Utah to help me shoot it and a bunch of other videos that will be coming to my YouTube channel soon. In this episode, I answer questions about asymmetrical risks in health and fitness, getting better at beach volleyball, using KB snatches instead of Olympic lifts, recovering from surgery, CrossFit, ab wheel technique, whether I ever met Bill Star, and what you should use a weight vest for. This is a quick episode, but there is a lot packed into it.

As the new year comes along, I'm always reminded about resolutions and how much I prefer process goals to outcome goals. After discussing that and Coaching 101, I get into your questions. There are a bunch of good ones in this episode including questions about why I meditate, armor building with one kettlebell, light Olympic lifting with sport training, practicing changing intensities mid-activity, lifting with long arms, arching while benching, why I teach the overhead squat so early, and how heavy you should swing. I hope you enjoy it!

As always, thanks for listening!

I start this episode with a quick review of my upcoming training and review a big update Brian made on the site. After that, I answer questions about what you should do if your training *is* working, using your heart rate monitor during park bench workouts, the best rep structures, preparing for a big trail run, and lots more. This was a big episode with some interesting questions.

As always, thanks for listening!

I gave a talk last week and had a good question about smoking that got me thinking about the value of smoking. Don't worry, I still don't want you smoking for any reason, but it was an interesting thought process. I also answer your questions about adding carries to the one lift a day program, adding deadlifts to Mass Made Simple, preparing for master's softball league, and even dive into some parental advice. I hope you enjoy.

As always, thanks for listening!

I had fun with this episode. I start it off with a response to the controversy I started last week about my comments on Turkish getups and then move on to some really great questions. They range from beginning sprint training in your 50s, race walking, tension control, weak hip flexors, and programming endurance work within a Park Bench program. Thank you all for sending in questions. They keep getting better and better!

As always, thanks for listening!

This was a long one, but had a bunch of great questions. Thank you for sending them in! I introduce a topic I'm incorporating into my new workshops about resiliency and get into a wide range of questions about things like building mobility, balancing strength, hypertrophy, and endurance, why overhead presses are so good, and walking up to the bar for a competition lift. I had a lot of fun this week. I hope you enjoy.

As always, thanks for listening!

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! This is a special holiday for me and I'm grateful for each and every one of you. I really enjoyed the questions this week. They ranged from the blood work I get, to losing fat while doing Mass Made Simple, to what kind of strength training to do while training for endurance. As always, thank you for submitting your questions.

As always, thanks for listening!
