PODCAST EPISODE #307: SWINGING INTO GPP
SUBSCRIBE
On this episode of RX’D Radio Mac and Thayer talk about Mac’s golf ball-hitting shenanigans in what can only be described as all power, no finesse. The boys use this experience to discuss how a GPP (General Physical Preparedness) phase can create exposure and develop a wide foundation for trainers to utilize with their general population clients and those weekend warriors.

WHAT DO THEY NEED TO HEAR?
What Do They Need To Hear
By Eric Bugera
Language matters, but how you wield it matters too.
How you use language should be scaled to the person in front of you. As you learn, experience, and understand exercise physiology to greater degrees – you should become more comfortable with anatomic and biological terms. This can be fantastic for refining the way you interpret client data and how to problem solve.
Although you may have improved vocabulary, attention to detail, and knowledge of the human body – you still need to communicate like a human being. Your client is not (necessarily) a kinesiologist. They are not (necessarily) a trainer, and they most assuredly aren’t you.
When something new is learned, it is very common to view the entire world through this lens; however, the way you view the world and the way you interface with the world needs to be refined just as much as your knowledge and vocabulary.
Can you, as a trainer, understand to a deeper level than...

PODCAST EPISODE #304: PROGRAMMING PRINCIPLES
SUBSCRIBE
Episode 304 was inspired by one of our most often asked questions: “How can I sell or do long-term periodization when I have clients who are only buying 12-week blocks?” Over the next hour, we’re breaking down exactly how to unlock the doors to success for your clients more quickly and why you want to be the coach who’s a locksmith, not just a coach with a key. If you enjoyed this episode, make sure to check out the Programming Course with James Thayer and James Macintosh kicking off in September. Just like this podcast episode, this course will have a BIG impact on coaches and trainers who want to start thinking and adapting how they approach programming.

...OPTIMIZING MOVEMENTS FOR HYPERTROPHY
By Abdurahmaan Saloojee
One consideration when executing movements, specifically externally stabilized movements for muscle hypertrophy, is where the origin and insertion start and end. You’d think that machines that are externally stabilized are hard to get wrong, but you’d be surprised – at almost every gym you can find someone who is trying to full stack the machine and doing themselves more harm than good.
PODCAST EPISODE #302: JOE BENNETT
SUBSCRIBE
Welcome back to another episode of RX’D Radio; this week, we’re sitting down with the legendary Joe Bennett, who Jordan describes as the “Marathon Man” of the coaching and education industry. He’s someone who’s been able to consistently dominate this industry year in and year out, and in this episode, we’re digging into the unique methods to his madness. To any coaches and trainers who care about leaving this industry better than you found it, episode 302 is one you don’t want to miss.
