    S3EP023 - Do the web's "Top 10 Fitness Tips" actually hold water??

    It's no secret that we love giving training tips. In fact, that's almost the whole point. So why did it take so long to occur to Josh to check what the internet says the top training tips are in a simple search? Let me tell ya...the results are not pretty. On this episode, Josh and Jordan look back at season 3's most important training tip episodes, and then rate heatlh.com's "Ten Must Know Fitness Tips: All Backed by Science" (and fact checked, lol). Also on this episode: -Bunkers? Enclaves? Compounds? -Whose breakfast is more relatable? Tom Brady's or Peyton Manning's? -Price per workout? Maybe Josh should investigate for KBs at home vs a gym.

    S3EP021 - Bad, Bad, Bad (umpires, lifestyles, knees)

    Josh and Jordan are your fit friends. And hanging out with fitter friends leads to a fitter you. On this episode of the TIC podcast, we break down what umpires, lifestyle choices, and knee pain all have in common? Well in this case it's just BAD. Does sport really need umpires? Does it need video replay? Do most people with knee pain need complicated rehab? What excuses are hiding behind the perceived need to just "work harder". What can a garden teach us about recovery?

    S3EP020 - Tension is NOT thy friend. But we need it. But what to do about it?

    Tension is required to get stronger. We can't be wet noodles under the weights. BUT chronic muscle tension and joint pain could be a sign of training too tensely and not doing enough MOBILITY work. The coaches talk about their top culprit areas that need mobility work. Also on this episode: we can't help it. We nerded out to kettlebells again. BUT it's a jumping off point about discussing surrounding yourself with the right people that propel YOU.

    S3EP018 - Tein Angst! When beginners think supplements are the answer

    Marketing is a heckuva drug. Does that mean that every product out there is a sham? Of course not! It just means that we need to get our priorities straight when working on our nutrition. It starts with the basic. Then after that we can move into the "Three Teins" Actually Josh (characteristically) re-spells that later. Make sure to see the full egglympics below.

    2EP017 - High Skill activities are High reward!

    Why do you train? Well most people want to be healthier, move better, and feel better. On top of that, athletes want to perform at their best. But why exercise if it doesn't help you elsewhere? On this episode, the coaches talk about the correlation between doing fun and physical activities and the spectrum and relationship of skill and reward. Golf? High skill. Cornhole? Low skill. Where is the reward? Listen and see if you agree.
