Hello all and welcome to a new segment in the podcast where Jack & Stew do a book review. We are going to start doing book reviews every month. So if there is a book coming out or an old one you want us to read and review just let us know!

In the first of edition of the Jack & Stew Book Review we reviewed "The System" By Johnny Parker, Al Miller, and Rob Panariello. We both found this book engaging and interesting and were excited to review it. Be sure to listen and please let us know if y'all have any questions!

In this episode we had the pleasure of interviewing coach Joey Bergles who is an Assistant Strength & Conditioning Coach at Utah State University. We had a great time with this interview learning all about FRC (Functional Range Conditioning) which is apart of the Functional Anatomy Series (https://functionalanatomyseminars.com/functional-range-conditioning/). Make sure you have a notepad handy because this is a lot of great information. If you have any questions for Joey you can hit him up on instagram @Joeybergles. 

In this episode we went with a different approach. We did a round table discussion with Michael Brinson on training as a competitive lifter while coaching. Stew, Brinson, and Jack talk about the modifications to training, programming, diet, and sleep habits that come along with trying to compete while coaching/ working in a physically stressful environment. This is a great episode for all of you out there who want to compete/ train hard but cant seem to find the time/ right way to do it. We also do a meet re-cap from both Michael's and Jack's last meets.
