Holy Shit, Episode 200! Jordan Shallow here, and I just wanted to personally thank each and every one of you for listening to RX'D RADIO over the years. Jiunta and I really never thought we'd live this long, let alone still be running a podcast with such a kick-ass audience.

In this episode, I sit down with my dear friend, Killian Hamilton and we go over the initial steps in making something like this possible. 

FItness and Business are weird things, even weirder when you try to blend them together. Trust me, I know. It's been my life for the better part of 5 years. 

Today, we go through the fundamental first steps in getting your fitness business going. A ton of fun to ring in Episode 200!

Today the head honchos return to RX’D Radio, starting the New Year off in the original ranting style we all know and love. Dr. Jordan Shallow and Dr. Jordan Jiunta unite in frustration over social media this week, discussing how during COVID these online platforms are resulting in further detachment from real personal interactions. 

The Jordans review how platforms such as Instagram may border on mental disorders when online personas do not reflect the real-life individual, and when those individuals live most enthusiastically for this false online identity that they have created. The boys walk us through how they rank order lines of communication to most effectively interact with those closest to them, how they schedule their days, and the tools they use to keep them productive and away from online distractions. Shallow highlights how social media has created a world of “unearned wisdom” when people confuse online...

RX’D Radio welcomes Muscle Coach Mike Barnes to the stand! Mike is a national-level bodybuilder and strength coach based out of the Toronto area, and he hosts the podcast, Buried Under the Bar. Today we take a deep dive into what it really takes to be a competitive bodybuilder.

Shallow and Mike begin the discussion reflecting on the bodybuilding industry today and the perception of being a bodybuilder versus the action required to become one. They discuss the “smarts” of bodybuilding training techniques and the will-power required for a competitor to make center stage. The team analyzes hypertrophy training and the gray area that still surrounds the methodology. They address “grip and rip,” versus “smart” techniques, how each may produce different results on stage, and how to unite these concepts. Mike spills the tea on the most intense weeks of his competition prep and talks about the serious mental...

This week on RX’D Radio, Dr. Shallow and our guest host, Pre-Script™ Head Coach in Canada, Killian Hamilton welcomes Coach James Thayer to the podcast. James is an experienced Ace Fitness and Pre-Script™ L1 Coach. He owns Byproduct Performance and currently runs Campus Recreation at Washburn University.

Killian and James talk about all things strength training as related to sport. On the table for discussion is a feast of coaching and programming concepts: emphasizing the importance of proper exercise selection to bridge the gap between strength and stability in an athlete’s training; what it means to train skill versus adaptation; breadth of knowledge and skilled application of exercise; the importance of having an open mind accompanied by the ability to be critical when analyzing exercise methodology. Shallow makes a highlight of the concept of inoculation - often overlooked as an important concept to help break...

Killian Hamilton joins Dr. Jordan Shallow on RX’D Radio this week, to provide more context around the fast-approaching release of the Pre-Script ™ Skill Acquisition Course. The duo gives us the18 month, behind-the-scenes conversation that led to the creation of this course. As Killian describes it, “the death and birth of 10,000 hours of thought,” culminated in the course design that is intended to foster confidence and conviction in the coaches who take it. This course is fundamental to the concept of training.

The boys analyze in detail the parameters they use to classify movement, asking the necessary, preliminary questions, “How complex is too complex? How simple is too simple?” Killian and Shallow return repeatedly to the Turkish Getup to exemplify why it is not the most relevant exercise to select for most athletes. They discuss critical thinking skills, and address the lack of those skills  in...

This week Dr. Jordan Shallow and Killian Hamilton welcome back Tony Montgomery Jr to the RX’D Radio podcast. One of the most impressive individuals you may ever meet, Tony is a US veteran and is a member of the Elite FTS crew. Tony has expertise in competitive strength sports as well as nutrition coaching, and he owns multiple businesses including Team Phoenix Performance Coaching, Strength Union Gym, and Subject Zero Supplements.

This week Tony, Shallow, and Killian dive into nutrition as the main topic, exploring the science behind fat breakdown and the reality behind what it really takes to achieve your body composition goals. Tony gives us a seminar on insulin sensitivity - what it is, what may cause it, and the effects that it has on the body. The crew also touches on how this may be different between genders, and the overwhelming effect that stress management has on fat loss. Tony iterates that better education is the real answer to...

This week, Dr. Shallow is back with another Canadian guest, Brandon Steinke. Brandon is an Eleiko Strength Coach based out of Edmonton Alberta. He owns Seasoned Athletics Coaching, and co-owns Mission Strength. Brandon specializes in breathing mechanics, and he takes us on a deep dive into his realm of expertise.

Brandon is one of ten Breathing Coaches in Canada, and today he clarifies the most common misconceptions about the most ubiquitous human thing, breathing. Brandon breaks down the biomechanics of breathing and explains why proper assessment is so imperative for success in lifting. He talks about how oxygen and carbon dioxide are processed during exercise, and how CO2 accumulation can be used to improve efficiency in performance. He discusses what healthy breathing mechanics are and the method he uses to score them. Other topics in this discussion include the biological process of lactic acid buildup and the best ways to buffer and train...
