Training Bites: Recent Episodes
Phillip
You are a series of habits accumulated over time. If your health goal does not address your habits - you will never adopt truly long lasting change.
I evaluate my own injury from a holistic viewpoint. This episode covers the biological element of the biopsychosocial model.
Dan @strength_couch_dan and Allan @coach.alpha join me to discuss whether a coach should be able to perform the movement that they teach. Can you teach something you do not know?
Dan and Allan continue to join me for this round of podcasts. In this episode we speak about what we are training for currently, exposing ourselves to different training modalities. We speak about strength and power transference into BJJ, Dan running 100km and Allan beginning his weightlifting journey. This was a LOT of fun guys, and I hope it's fun for you to listen to too.
Daniel Lucchini @strength_couch_dan and Allan Pham @coach.alpha join me to talk about the selective language we use as coaches. The longer I spend as a coach and trainer, I realise just how powerful language can really be. How often have you made the mistake of thinking that your behaviour is associated with your identity, and so far as your happiness? Conversely, as a coach, how many times have you associated particular behaviours or training PBs as synonymous with someone's identity. If you are unaware, this CAN be potentially dangerous. Listen in.
Daniel Lucchini @strength_couch_dan joins me again to talk a lot of trash about income tax... but mainly to talk about horizontal coaching relationships. Horizontal coaching relationships assume that the people involved are equal; and as a coach we should be conscious of our language and how we might disrupt this relationship. For example 'you did well,' is a vertical statement. You are qualifying them. More details in the episode!
Steph finishes off this series with a very humorous rant about the dangers of social media.
Steph and I discuss her experience with the morbidly obese. It really is not as simple as 'eat less, move more.' We have to look at these people with an open mind.
Steph describes what disordered eating and eating disorders are. If you are a coach PT or surrounded by health conscious people I implore you to listen to this. You are surrounded by this more than you know.
Jason and Rhys talk the mindset required of a champion and athlete. I was in awe of these two gentlemen. Im sure you will be too.
Rhys and Jason talk share the truth about a fighting life. Money, fame, highs and lows. If you thought it was all glam, think again.
Rhys and Jason talk what it takes to beat a world champion... and their favorite ice cream flavour.
Rhys and Jason share their insights on the training it takes from a beginner to world level fighter. Do you have what it takes?
Meet World Champion Muay Thai Fighter Rhys and his coach, Jason. They share how they both entered the sport. This series is a MUST listen for anyone interested in combat sports.
Masters Coach, Masters Athlete, national level sprinter, mum... how many more perspectives could you ask for?
My personal take on my love for training in heat with no water. A state of blissful discomfort.

How heavy? How many sets? How many days? Keep it simple. Make the main thing the main thing.
3 sets? 5 sets? 2 days, 3 days? I go through some current science and my own recommendation for how to grow your muscles. And I burp somewhere in there too.
What happens to a muscle for it to grow? I do my best to explain it in 5 minutes. Disclaimer: its all a hypothesis based off observation.
Alex and I go back and forth regarding compassion and empathy. This breaks my rule of 5 minute episodes but this discussion was just too good to dismiss.
Sorry guys, psychologist Alex went psycho on the previous episode. Heres another attempt at Behavioural Strategies.

The key thing holding you back. I lose my shit a little at the end. You've been warned.
If you dont know why, why do it? Coach Will joins us again to explain why he does what he does. It is powerful.
Coach Will continues on with his anger spiel about diets. This time he explains the importance of evidence based practice - or to put simply... does this $*** actually work?
