May 03, 2022 107: Jack Hallows - How to continue to improve technique without feeling like you're never doing it right
Jack has some of the best content on exercise technique and execution and does an amazing job distilling it down to the average consumer.
-
We talk about the present explosion of “biomechanics” and the importance of form and technique and how important it REALLY is...and what to do if you’re feeling overwhelmed by it all
-
Additionally, we discuss certain technique/form discussion that are both OVERRATED and UNDERRATED
-
I know you’ll enjoy it...and by "it" I mean Jack's accent.

April 25, 2022 106: Trevor Zierke - Chiropractors...When should you see one? How are they different from PTs? Is it more than cracking people's backs on TikTok? Myth busting therapy tactics and more...
To be honest, I have never seen a chiropractor and I don't have a really good understanding of what they do so this was a really helpful episode for me. Trevor is a good friend and we did this episode live....and some of the audio got a bit wonky so cut us some slack.

We talk adjustments, physical therapy, massage guns, foam rolling, stretching and more

April 19, 2022105: It’s not just WHAT you do it’s the INTENT/HEADSPACE with which you do it
When we look at the habits and choices we make around food/fitness (or anything really) we can’t just look at the choices themselves, we have to be curious about WHY we’re making those choices and how they’re making us feel. Something as simple as tracking calories can be done with a wide range of positive and negative mindsets that we can’t really know if it’s right for someone if we don’t know what sort of headspace they’re in. In today’s episode we explore this idea around intent/headspace and how it affects our decisions and habits we engage in

104: Katie Sonier - How to be more confident and have your own back.
.
If you follow Katie you probably know her for hard training, transparency, and the fact that she oozes some bad. ass. confidence. That’s what I wanted to talk to her about today. What is confidence? and how can we become more confident? Is it possible to be both vulnerable AND confident?
.
We talk about Katie’s recent back injury and how getting injured really helped her become a better coach and better athlete.
.
We also threw in some discussion of our training philosophies and why changing things up 24/7 probably isn’t the best plan for growth.
