EP 192: The Busy Guy Off Season Strength...

Vigor Life Podcast
About this episode

I answer 4 questions in depth from in person clients, DM’s I received, comments to some of my posts, as well as a nutrition coaching scenario from a client I’m coaching. I love doing these episodes and sharing real world examples, programs, and coaching that I’m doing in the real world. 


IN THIS EPISODE YOU’LL LEARN:

=> If you had a period of time where you could train more (3 months) to build strength and muscle, here’s the program I’d create for you. 

=> Why at times a mix of body split AND full body may be the vest way to go. 

=> The 4 day split and which days I’d train on (and what modifications I would make).

=> What I would do for conditioning to maintain athleticism, get fit, and still being able to build size and strength.

=> The exact exercises I’d use with most of my clients if I was doing this program. 

=> Why the most elite athletes (as well as coaches and gym owners) are “gym rats.”

=> 4 traits of elite athlete, coaches, and gym owners (do you have them? And how do you build them?).

=> Why it’s so important to have the apprenticeship approach and be a student even when you’re far along in your career. 

=> Why squatting double your bodyweight before doing plyometrics is not a great peace of advice.

=> I share the different forces associated with jumps, depth drops, etc (and how to progress the exercises safely).

=> An example and breakdown of the coaching strategies to help a client lose 20 lbs while maintaining their muscle. 

=> Why is it better to give clients ranges of calories and protein rather than hard numbers.
