High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) or as we call it, MRT (Metabolic Resistance Training) has received a lot of bad press in the fitness industry and we don't think that is fair. Especially when we can include the DVRT (Dynamic Variable Resistance Training) principles to this effective way to training. We're so grateful to have the creator of DVRT, Josh Henkin, return and discuss how something like this can H.I.I.R.T. (High Intensity Interval Resistance Training) so good!

This week Cory sits down with two of the fitness industry's best: Josh Henkin and Jessica Bento to discuss fitness professionals prescribing exercises and the snowball affect that it has when done correctly and when not! If you never thought there could be a bad exercise wait until you hear what these two have to say about it!

When you get a chance to interview a living legend you shut up and listen. That's what Cory found out as he had the great privilege of bringing on hall of fame strength & conditioning coach, Al Vermeil. Al has been involved with the Super Bowl champions San Francisco 49ers and the Chicago Bulls throughout their championship years and has many life lessons to offer inside and outside the weight room. We hope you enjoy this amazing conversation with this hall of famer coach!

Al wanted to include this note after minute 50 for our listeners:

The first time I heard the word functional was Alvin Roy the godfather of strength coaches talk about functional isometrics. I have his book and it was when he was with the San Diego chargers. Alvin Roy to my knowledge along with Clyde Emrich of the Chicago Bears were the first two strength coaches
