This week Jordan Jiunta is joined by Kevin Doherty for a brief but insightful look into Kevin’s development as an exceptional weightlifting coach for youth athletes. Kevin is the owner of Hassle Free Barbell Club in San Francisco California and works as the Head Weightlifting Coach at Lincoln High School.
 
Kevin walks us through his life as an athlete and the development of his career as a teacher and coach to youth weightlifters. As a 21 year old geometry teacher, Kevin discovered weightlifting for his own athletic interest through his colleagues in the teaching community. After years of training and competing as an athlete himself, he began coaching youth football athletes at Lincoln High School. This launched an array of opportunities as he went on to produce multiple world-level youth weightlifting competitors and highly successful football and track and field athletes. Kevin continues to enjoy coaching weightlifting as both a main sport and addition to strength training programs for high school athletes, he also briefly discusses how he has had to adapt his processes in order to continue to provide quality coaching during Covid-19.

John Sheridan joins Jordan Shallow this week on RX’D Radio to discuss his experience in powerlifting and the development of his career as a strength coach and small business owner. John is the owner, head coach and “Bearded Overlord” of Burley Strength gym in Canberra, Australia, and the creator of Peak Speak Podcast.
 
The conversation begins with a recalling of catastrophic injuries witnessed at high-level powerlifting meets, a discussion about John’s extensive coffee knowledge, and his appreciation of quality products from small purveyors. John walks us through the moment that diverted his path from athlete to strength coach and explains the “No Dickheads” policy that is the foundation of the community at Burley Strength gym. Jordan and John align in their fundamental belief that fear is a precursor to growth -- that it is necessary to challenge both mind and body to live life to the fullest. John reflects on how Covid-19 has affected Burley Strength, Jordan recalls his 1 am encounter with a cockroach, and both discuss how they themselves are “flying by the seat of their pants,” perhaps much like the rest of us living on this planet right now. Turn it up!

This week Jordan Shallow welcomes fellow Canadian meathead Stu Locke to RX’D Radio. Stu has been a personal trainer at GoodLife Fitness for many years, and utilizes a highly effective but simple approach to training. Stu has been an advisor to Shallow, and his perspective to training and coaching is one that Shallow trusts and frequently calls upon. Stu owns Kodiak Barbell in Ottawa.     
Stu and Shallow discuss the major training strategies, cues and corrective work that Stu uses to address form breakdown in the squat. The conversation then takes a turn towards the subjects of the business of coaching, and life outside of the gym. They discuss the value of education versus experience, and evaluate the differences between the methods of training for conventional sports and competitive powerlifting. Stu believes in being in the business of people; he understands the devotion that it requires to reach the podium, and he promotes living a life that encompasses more than just the barbell.

    This week, RX’D Radio brings you a particularly compelling episode, with Dr. Jordan Shallow and guest, Derek Woodske. A top-ranking Canadian Track & Field athlete, Derek is a seasoned strength coach and educator who has trained athletes in the NCAA, NFL, and on multiple University Track and Field teams. Originally from a nowhere town in British Columbia, Canada, Derek has lived and worked internationally, and he now runs his own consulting business out of Mammoth Lakes, California.
 
    Shallow and Woodske discuss their experiences growing up in small Canadian towns and contrast social systems and governance between Canada and the US. Derek leads an adventurous life, and these adventures have provided him an interesting and expansive perspective on the state of the world. He recounts travelling to Saudi Arabia to be a coach and trainer to Princess Sara, and working in Riyadh through ISIS. He subsequently suffered PTSD from those experiences, and he talks about the myriad, complex ramifications and manifestations of trauma. In this episode, the two dig into: the concept of social media as a differentiating factor in understanding current versus historical events, the higher value of spreading good to those you encounter in your day-to-day life, and... Zac Brown. Derek is a force of positive energy in the world, and his appreciation of life’s nuanced details make this episode one you do not want to miss!

This week on RX’D Radio, Jordan Shallow is joined by the unconventional and impressive Nick Gloff. Nick is only 22, but his short trajectory through life has been anything but uneventful. 
In this episode, we get to know Nick: through a pivotal moment at age 12; through his  journey out of obesity and into football; as a really strong bodybuilder. Each of these events has provided him a source of motivation, and training has been the greatest vehicle to teach him how to strive for excellence. The duo dive into their approach to programming and the importance of always challenging your own knowledge. Strong topics covered in this episode include comprehension of “first principles intent-based programming”, proving concepts from experience rather than preaching general knowledge, and the great frustration behind the all-encompassing smoke-bomb platitude, “it depends”. Tune in for a wild ride!

Powerlifter and aspiring chiropractor, Seth Albersworth joins Jordan Shallow this week on RX’D Radio. Originally from north of Calgary, Canada, Seth is currently studying in a chiropractic college in Florida and lifting out of Perfect Storm Hardcore Training Gym. Seth is a highly competitive Multi-Ply Powerlifter with a long list of incredible achievements behind his name.
 
Seth and Shallow talk about Seth’s transition into powerlifting while recovering from a shoulder injury, his journey from Raw to Single to Multi-Ply lifting, and his impressive feats of strength including a 700 lb squat he performed at the age of nineteen. The two discuss how their clinical knowledge impacts their approach to both lifting and training, the differences between classroom theory and practical application of those theories, and the hurdles of transitioning from in-person to on-line coaching. Seth highlights the steep learning curve he experienced in creating valuable and high quality online content. Turn up the volume for an education on the proper performance of a box squat, a Canadian’s perspective on (bizarre) living in Florida, and a consummate discourse pertaining to fake people on the interwebs.
