In this episode we speak with the man himself, Jordan Shallow AKA The Muscle Doc. This episode is one for the ages. Anthony and Alex had such a good time speaking with Jordan about all things rehabilitation, strength training, powerlifting, and exercise selection and got the chance to hear the justifications behind a lot of Jordan's teaching methods.

This is one of those episodes where you grab your pen and paper and start taking notes because there are so many gems in what Jordan says. Anthony and Alex were left speechless at times not only with how intelligent Jordan is but with his amazing sue of language in being as specific as he needs to be with what he is explaining.

The PTA Podcast are huge fans of Jordan Shallow and everything he represents. The coaches at PTA have become better coaches since learning from him and have improved in their own training abilities too.

We hope you enjoy this episode as much as we didi!

Episode 20 features the Kassis brothers speaking about some of the things that they have changed over the years. They speak about many things around Nutrition, Training and Mindset and delve into the ways that they dealt with clients and how they were made to realise that they needed to change things in order to get the most out of their clients and that no progress meant that they weren't doing a good job. If you know Anthony and Alex, not doing a good job doesn't sit with them.

They get controversial. They get heated. They get passionate. They speak the truth about things. They say it how it is and don't apologise about anything that they say.

This is an episode that you don't want to miss!

Aaron Kroll is one of a kind and we mean that in the most respectful way possible. He has a heart of gold mixed with a ferocious training mentality. We are so happy to have Aaron on the podcast as we delve into all things training, specifically his journey with Olympic lifting and how hard not has been to achieve what he's achieved thus far.

His attitude to training and to life are one and the same. Give it 100% or don't even bother.

Bodybuilding is more than just a sport to Justin Wessels. It's a way of life.

This man is regarded by many one of the countries best bodybuilders. His work ethic is second to no one. His discipline is unwavering but what we love most is his incredible humility. We love how he thinks about training and how the mindset around training is heavily relatable to all aspects of life.

We spoke about all things training in this episode but one of the main things we spoke about were the ups and downs in his career and how he bounced back from the low times. The insight into a professional bodybuilders mindset is a thing of beauty. From the attitude to the complete honesty with himself, Justin explains for us just how he went about all aspects of his daily routines whenever he would prep for a show.

He isn't anything different from an ordinary man, but what makes him so great is his unwavering and relentless hard work and dedication to creating the best version of himself.

He is a true champion whether it be on the bodybuilding stage or as a father and husband.

In this episode Anthony speaks with his Nutrition Coach and Mentor about Meditation. Both Stefan and Anthony love meditation but as they both highlight in this episode they wanted to discover the 'whys' behind it all and provide some facts to the things that meditation helps us achieve as individuals.

Stefan is a world renowned coach and is regarded as the 'coaches coach' by many. When you think of some of the most successful coaches in the Fitness Industry, they would have most likely spent time learning from Stefan.

His coaching ability is fantastic. His passion for this stuff is second to none. He has a wealth of knowledge and is worth listening to no matter what the topic may be.

A special thank you to all of you for your continuous support. Anthony here.

This episode was a special one. We speak again with our great friend Kyle Traynor. Kyle is someone that we love speaking to because of his authentic nature. He is real. The topics of 'Gym Culture' and 'Internal Stability' are two very different topics but they interrelate more than we know. The idea that a gym can have a strong uplifting culture and that the culture plays a major role in why a business like Platinum Training Academy can survive the COVID-19 lockdown is something that I will always be proud of.

The fact that this same culture has such a positive impact on an individuals internal stability and challenges that person to be better and live to higher standards is what has saved many people from making huge mistakes with their lives. It's very odd that a gym of all places can have this impact on it's clients/members, but we are very aware of the positive impact that we have on our people.

We encourage you to listen to this episode with an open heart and mind so that you can hear the messages that we are giving.
