The Upgrade Yo Sh*t Podcast is NOT your normal podcast. It was started by Coach Rich Thurman ( Coach_RT3 ) and Nat Viranond as a place to discuss Strength Training, Mobility Training thought process with a hint or Social Issues. This is raw uncut and unfiltered dialogue that doesn’t conform to the “default” style and system in place. Rich & Nat take the mask and the gloves off and speak from the heart of the cultural norms they grew up within.

    Lost Tapes Episode 7: Coaching or Training

    Sometimes people get in their feelings about using the term Coach to distinguish themselves from "Trainer". We think that the two words are not mutually exclusive. You can be one or the other, or both. At the end of the day, words matter. The way we use words matter and how we describe our practice, field or profession matters.

    The Lost Tapes Episode 5: Real Mobility Training

    You hear a lot of people calling just about everything Mobility Training, from Animal Flow to MovNat, but what is Mobility Training really? In 2019 we tried our best to articulate this a little bit for our audience. Mobility training is specific and deliberate. The intention behind your mobility training has to be focused on and deliberated effect the parts involved with movement. If your joints don't move then you cannot move and it is as simple as that.

    The Lost Tapes Episode 4: Lenses

    In this episode  of The Lost Tapes we dive into the lenses by which we view training, exercise, fitness, etc. Regardless of what we do in life, there will always be lenses through which we see things. We may view through the lens of culture, gender, sex, race, or many other things. In our normal freestyle manner that kicked off our early podcasting in 2019.  We don't have any advertisements save for promoting our own products and services and those of our guests. Mobility Memberships and 12 Week courses are how we continue to fund our podcast work. We appreciate your support of all our work.
