The Movement, Strength & Play Podcast

You know you can trust us...! But we won't be the only people you seek training advice from and we wanted to have a discussion on the podcast today to help give some tips of things we'd suggest questioning and looking out for when deserning whether you can trust some of the advice you see on social media.

You might think picking up really head objects in your mouth is pretty weird but D J Murakami from Strong Camps as research showing the importance of bite and jaw strength as part of what he calls 'Human Strength Training'

.

We are excited to share this episode of the podcast with you as we explore yet another potential training area or modality that many of us won't have even considered let alone dismissed!

.

We progressively overload many aspects of our strength but typically not our 'bite' yet D J as some strong research and data to show some insane increases in strength output in things like pull ups and deadlifts when you train your bite!

.

We hope you enjoy this one as much as we did speaking with D J.

This conversation was long overdue and it didn't fail to disappoint.

.

John and Leon AKA the Lean Machines have been in the fitness industry for over a decade and were amongst the early pioneers of content creators who sought to help people digitally.

.

This podcast is an open and honest chat about the good, the bad and the ugly of the online fitness space.

.

We talk about their journey so far and have a great discussion about how to be successful on social media. Be warned, what you think success looks like and what it is to John and Leon may be quite different.

.

These are genuinely two awesome guys who have and continue to do so much good for the people in their community and it was a privilege to some time learning about that and sharing experiences.

.

We hope you enjoy it as much as we did.

Jenz Robinson from the Professional Fitness Coaches Association (PFCA) is one passionate guy when it comes to people and coaching. He knows a good coach when he see one and in this episode we discuss what was the driving force behind himself and Ollie Marchon starting the PFCA in the first place.

.

Throughout the podcast Jenz dropped pure gold nuggets of information for all of us whether a coach already looking to improve for ourselves, our clients and those around us as well as anyone new coming into the industry.

.

Remember coaching is coaching, so even if you are not a fitness coach you can still learn from the same advice whatever your 'thing' you coach and we hope this podcast episode inspires you to keep learning and keep improving your own coaching.

Ever had pain in your elbow from calisthenics...? Although the pain might be in the elbow it's highly unlikely that it's the elbow causing the pain, particularly if like in the case study we discuss it occurs in something like a ring or bar muscle up.

.

This episode is jam packed with practical advise for anyone working through any pain, injuries or niggles whether it's the elbow or not! But we do unpick a case study where we 'fixed' someones elbow pain during muscle ups within 10 minutes at a recent workshop!

.

We hope you find this episode helpful with your training and own injuries issues if you have any (hopefully you don't have any injuries or pain!)

It's true that we have some phenomenal guests on the podcast and we are extremely grateful for all the phenomenal wisdom, knowledge and advice they share with us all.

.

Yet we appreciate that it's a phenomenal amount of informations and trying to incorporate all of it into our daily lives is totally unrealistic!

.

So prompted by a great question from one of the listeners, in this episode with no guests we share how we ourselves dissect the information we get from guest and how we apply it to our own lives.

.

We hope by sharing the context of how we each use the great information from the podcast guest that it will help you utilise the information even better.

.

We'd love to hear you're own thoughts and experiences on how you use the guests advice so please do let us know by sharing on instagram with us - www.instagram.com/schoolofcalisthenics
