Truth Not Trends

In this week's solo round episode, Liam and Jesse answer some listener questions about how to balance safe, efficient strength training methods with dynamic sports performance.

Join us as we discuss the SAID principle and how it applies to creating strength and conditioning programs that support, rather than hinder participation in your chosen sport.

This week we bring you an incredible interview with our friend and former high level bodybuilder Tommie Moreau.

Join us as Tommie takes us on an amazing journey inside the world of competitive bodybuilding at the highest levels. Tommie shares how she was first introduced to bodybuiliding competition as well as giving us a peek behind the curtain discussing such topics manipulating growth hormone and thyroid to her use of a combination of anabolic-androgenic steroids.

We also learn about how bodybuilders find unusual ways to supplement their income in a sport that carries with it a high cost for participation and low payout even at the highest levels.

In this week's episode Liam and Jesse discuss some strategies and tactics to help you stay on track with nutrition during the holidays.

Join us as we help you get ready for the holiday eating season. If you are pretty dialed in already, it may not matter at all. But just in case you are thinking about this stuff, we're here to help.

Tune in to this week's episode and learn some simple ideas that may help you stay on track with your personal eating plan.

Enjoy!

In this week's episode we discuss Eating Plans for Runners.

No one eating plan works for everyone, and there is no specific eating plan that works for every runner.

But there are sound nutrition fundamentals that, if followed, can help runners optimize their running performance and general health.

Stay tuned as we divulge these fundamentals and help you become the best runner you can be.

Join us today as Liam and Jesse discuss how to design, implement, and update a comprehensive strength training program for runners.

Distance running is a great sport that is enjoyed at a variety of levels by millions of competitive and recreational athletes.

Whether you prefer to jog a couple of miles through the neighborhood, or are training to complete a marathon, distance running is a highly effective and efficient means of aerobic conditioning.

Unfortunately, distance running is considerably less beneficial for your musculoskeletal system. Injury rates among runners are extremely high.

Advertisements, magazines, internet trainers, and social media continue to push the idea that exercising small isolated muscles, such as abdominal muscles, will help the fat above the muscles disappear.

At TNT we have known for years that the idea of working out certain muscle groups, in order to burn fat in that specific area, is not possible.

Join us as we discuss the myth of "spot reduction" as well as tell you the truth about how to get six pack abs.

In this week's episode Liam and Jesse talk about the various different ways they help clients learn to work hard.

Let's face it, some people have a hard time working to MMF (Momentary Muscular Failure). In this episode we discuss some of the different protocols and methods we may utilize when working with these types of clients.

Today we are joined by our guest Kristen Rowell, the Founder and CEO of Energetically Efficient™.

Kristin is a former business litigator turned Functional Nutritional Therapy Practitioner. She helps people lose weight and gain muscle and energy so that they are proud of the person they see when they look in the mirror.

She speaks to and consults for companies and organizations around the country on a variety of nutrition, lifestyle, and wellness topics. She also coaches a select number of individual clients one-on-one.

Join us as we explore her personal journey from full time lawyer to natural bodybuilder and health and wellness coach.

Today we wanted to take a moment to honor a friend and mentor of TNT Strength: Mr. Gary Bannister.

For the first time ever Truth Not Trends is re-releasing an early episode to honor the passing of our friend, Gary Bannister.

Gary has written some of our favorite books (some of which are required reading for our TNT Strength coaches). One of my all time favorites of is:…"What They Won't Tell You. GOLF Performance Training".

A longtime golfer, Bannister played with some of the world's greatest champions. He established and coached the men's and women's varsity golf teams at Averett College, and opened South America's first Nautilus gym, which led him to prepare Venezuela's male and female golf teams for the World Team Amateur Championship in 1986.

We were very fortunate to have Gary as an early guest on our Truth Not Trends Podcast way back in episode #18. Gary was smart funny and a pleasure to speak with about all things Arthur Jones and Brief Intense Effective Strength Training.

He will be missed…

Gary F. Bannister, age 74, of Tequesta, Florida passed away on Friday, August 12, 2022. Gary was born February 26, 1948.

Today we are joined by our good friends Mike & Corrie-Beth Lipowski.

Mike and Corrie-Beth have surrounded themselves with a hard-working, talented, inspiring, mission-driven team. A team that is savvy, intelligent, passionate and nurturing in spirit. In today's episode we're focusing on two main topics. First, how together they have built a successful 1:1 training studio that has transitioned to an even more successful small Group Resistance Training program. And second how they have added nutritional supplements as another revenue stream to their business.

Other topics include how they became a national franchise, opened a couple of franchise locations, and were named one of Entrepreneur Magazine's 'Hottest Fitness Franchises to Own'.
