Description

Back in the studio with one of my favorite returning guests—Rich Girardin, an Athletic Therapist with a no-nonsense approach to rehab and performance.

You might remember Rich from Episode 71 (our Whiskey & Barbells night) and Episode 78 (his deep dive into injury recovery).

This time, we sit down in person to go even deeper into the real-world application of therapy, mobility, and movement — what works, what doesn’t, and what most people still get wrong.

​

In this episode, we discuss:

• What we like (and don’t like) about the FMS system
• How to use foam rolling effectively — and what it’s actually doing
• We debate each other: Should you ice after injury?
• How stretching can be done better
• We also debate whether PNF stretching is a useful tool during your training or a risky move?
• Why rotational movement and lateral training are non-negotiables
• Whether adductor-focused training really matters

Rich’s latest ambition and what’s next in his own journey

This one is packed with nuance, friendly debate, and practical takeaways for anyone who wants to move better, train smarter, or recover like an athlete.
