Physical Preparation Podcast5 Superpowers that Can Make You an Elite Trainer or Coach I don’t know about you, but I’m a huge fan of comic books and superheroes. But here’s the thing about most superheroes: they’re either born with a superpower—like Superman—or, they’re given one—like Spiderman getting bit by a spider. On the other hand, trainers and coaches—though heroes in their own right—aren’t born with or given these superpowers. While they can’t use heat vision or sling webs (yet), there are five skills coaches can develop into superpowers to turn them into the elite trainers and c...2021-12-3130 min

Physical Preparation Podcast7 Simple Tips to Write Better Training Programs One of the many things I’ve learned over the years about writing programs is that there’s a bell curve involved. When we’re just starting out, we don’t know much about training, let alone actually designing a program. But as we move closer to the apex of that bell curve and accumulate more experience as well as information on exercises, set/rep schemes, and tempos, the complexity of our knowledge base becomes our hindrance. From “how do I design a program,” our question becomes “how can I make my programs mo...2021-12-1037 min

Physical Preparation Podcast5 Things I Need to Say The thing about change is—whether it’s good or bad—it forces you to reflect on where you’re at, where you’re going, and where you want to be.

From Justin to KaneAkira (1988) and A Talking Cat!?! (2013)In this episode, we compare the brilliant 1988 anime film Akira, and A Talking Cat!?! (2013), a children’s film that was directed by a man who is more known for his softcore porn films. Also: the cat is voiced by Eric Roberts. Through discussing the similarities between the two films, we discover that they are both about god-like figures with psychic powers, and both films are existential meditations on world war two that take place in a Shakespearean post-apocalyptic techno-dystopia.
