ELEVATE Trainer Development Podcast Jeremy Graves

What's the main difference between these two training approaches? 

Which is the better approach for you?

You should show compassion and empathy for everyone you encounter until they give you a reason not to in my opinion. 

When people you care about are engaging in self-destructive behavior, you have a duty to help if asked.

There are many factors that influence an individual's physical condition that we will discuss in detail (Genetics, hormones, metabolism, medications, psychology, nutrition, and physical activity). Some of these we can influence, and some we can't. 

To suggest that A, there are no inherent risks related to clinical obesity, and B, that there isn't anything that can be done about it anyways so why address it is criminal and will cost people their lives. 

I will not participate in pushing this narrative. 

I care about people and the quality of the life they lead. If you are happy and content, more power to you. But, if you want to make changes, I would like to offer support knowing the benefit of the effort!

Let's talk about "FITNESS"....

What do you mean when you say someone is Fit?

What do I mean?

Do we mean the same thing? Are we even talking about the same thing?

Let's define some terms to make sure!

Progressive Overload is a cornerstone concept of Strength and Conditioning.

This week Levi and & I discuss the value of the proper implementation of progressive overload as well as how it can be done for both the GPP/ CrossFit community as well as performance-based training programs!

As always, thanks you so much for listening!

Uncoachable athletes....

Regardless of how you feel about that, you know who I'm talking about.

Is this on the athlete, or the coach? Well, it depends. Let's talk about it.

We discuss our opinions on the subject and identify different ways to work through it.
