On this episode coach Dos and I interview Sue Falsone (www.suefalsone.com, www.systemicdryneedling.com). In this episode we talk about the T-spine, the diaphragm as a respirator and stablizer and why that is important, why the personal trainer needs to be equpped to deal with physical therapy issues, the first tool a physical therapist should put in their box, and the first tool a personal trainer should steal from a physical therapist. We also hit on the fact that practice drives research, not the other way around. 

In this episode Coach Dos and I talk about the different types of periodization you might need to follow and go in depth on our preferred method of periodization. We also answer listener questions about confidence. 

Coach Dos is back! In episode 32 Coach Dos and I talk about Density training and how it might help you bust through some plateaus. How to do it right and how you might be doing it wrong. We talk about the value of aerobics and even the value of sloppy aerobics. We even answer a question about the best resources for training kids.

We talk about how he got started, what he has learned from team Juggernaut athletes, How PE is screwed up in the US, the basic tenets of the Juggernaut Method, why belief might be the most important part of a successful program, and the upcoming "Become Unstoppable 3" seminar. 

In this episode (one in which Coach Dos is on vacation), I interview Tyler English, pro natural bodybuilder,  about his approach to bodybuilding and how bodybuilding has helped him become a better raw powerlifter.

In this episode Coach Dos and I talk about how important the bench press is in programming. We talk about how much it transfers to sport and whether the push press might be a better upper body pressing exercise. We answer listener questions about training for the sport of CrossFit, and whether Olympic lifts are important for older athletes. 

On this episode I interview a good friend of Coach Dos and me, Pat Cullen Carroll. We talk about his background in weightlifting, and how most people are screwing up Long Term Athletic Development. 

On this episode I interview Derek Woodske of www.mg2u.com. Derek is one of the top lecturers on strength and conditioning in the world. Derek and I talk about periodization, what most trainers and coaches are missing, the problems with an "instagram attention span" and how it is hurting trainers and their clients. We talk about recreational anabolic use as a rising problem and the big problem of trainers that don't train, trainers other trainers to train. 

On this episode I interview Director of Performance at Munster Rugby, Adam Trypas. We talk about his beginnings as an Olympic lifter, and what he has learned from his experience coaching the top rugby clubs in the world. How much data is too much data, tracking performance, creating and not buying culture in your program.
