    Episode 172: What If You're Already Strong Enough?

    Justin discusses the idea that you can be strong enough and explores the concept of reassessing goals and priorities in fitness training. We emphasize that being strong enough depends on individual goals, such as sports performance, body composition, or general physical fitness. Listeners are encouraged to consider other aspects of fitness, such as mobility, balance, and skill, once they have achieved a certain level of strength. While coaches may be hesitant to bring up the idea of being 'strong enough' with clients who enjoy strength training, it's important. Being strong enough depends on individual goals and priorities in fitness training. Once you have achieved a certain level of strength, it is important to reassess your goals and consider other aspects of fitness, such as mobility, balance, and skill.

    Episode 170: Take Ownership

    In this episode, I share a personal experience of witnessing a Philadelphia biker whose actions changed my day. This incident made me reflect on the concept of personal responsibility and how it applies to various aspects of life. While circumstances may not be our fault, it is still our responsibility to deal with them. Taking ownership of your situation and making the necessary changes, even if it means working harder than others, can be life-changing. That may mean being selfish at times to show up as the best version of ourselves. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/feel-strong/support

    Episode 168: Individualization vs Systems?

    The tension between custom, precise, individualization and highly scalable systems in the fitness industry is STRONG. While individualized solutions are recognized as necessary for people with significant problems or goals, they are difficult to implement and scale. Implementing individualized solutions requires highly skilled coaches who can address technical aspects and soft skills. Scaling individualized solutions is challenging due to the time and effort required. As a result, many people turn to systematized approaches that can be more easily implemented and scaled. However, these approaches may not provide the exact solution that individuals need. So what's a person to do? How can coaches make the greatest impact AND make a living? Let's talk about it --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/feel-strong/support
