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.

    In this episode we talk about evolution... not really, but we talk about the ridiculous nature of the current fitness industry believing we evolved to do a Bench Press or some other made up exercise.
