Strength Chat

This week's episode was an awesome chat with the owner of Four Pillars Studio, with countless qualifications and years of coaching experience to his name, Ben Wright.   With some much information out there, it can be confusing to know what works, what's the best method to use, and how to actually get results. Ben filters all that out and provides his clients with a high standard of coaching support and training so they can get, and maintain, the results they want.  In this chat, as well as a lot more topics and tangents, we covered:  Building trust with your clients  How to get results with your clients  Why making hard choices is important  Follow Ben via the following links:  

As a sport powerlifting is growing in popularity and participation year on year so it was great to chat with the dream team behind Barbell Coalition, who are pushing the standards higher and higher, Ibrahim Dridi, Stephan Karidis and Mahin Zafar.  Seeing the passion and love for the sport of powerlifting from these guys it's clear they are driven to spread that feeling with the athletes and coaches they work with. You only have to look at the results they are producing and the content and information they put out there.   In this chat, as well as a lot more topics and tangents, we covered:  Working as a team of coaches, as well as the wins and challenges  Developing powerlifting athletes from universities  Professionalism in powerlifting  Follow Barbell Coalition via the following links:  

An awesome chat with an absolute top bloke!  This week I was joined by strength and conditioning coach, current serving soldier, and buster of fitness fads and myths, Dean Hammond.   With a no sugar coating approach to putting content and information out there that actually helps you achieve your goals and filters through the nonsense that is just social media clickbait, you can see Dean genuinely cares about the people he works with and their results.   In this chat, as well as a lot more topics and tangents, we covered:  Oversimplifying  Shifting your mindset away from the daily grind  How to train like an athlete rather than a bodybuilder  Follow Dean via the following links:  

For this week's episode it was an absolute pleasure to be joined by the Co-Founder of the PFCA, Jenz Robinson.

It was absolutely awesome to welcome back one the very first guests on Strength Chat in this week's episode, the game day coaching wizard and author of his latest ebook Game Day Coaching Manual, Matt Gary.

For this week's Strength Chat it was a pleasure to be joined by strength and conditioning coach and writer, having worked with Elitefts, Breaking Muscle, and Kabuki Strength, Daniel DeBrocke. There can be a lot of variables that can influence someone's progress. However, these variables are just challenges or obstacles that can be overcome with the right support and environment rather than allowing them to derail progress. In this episode, we chatted about taking ownership of your own progress, how environment can influence progress, as well as mental health.   You can follow Daniel via the following links: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/daniel_debrocke/?hl=en    YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@danieldebrocke2865/featured    You can follow myself, Coach Cuthbert, via the following links: Website: https://www.coachcuthberttrainingsystems.co.uk/  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/coach_cuthbert/?hl=en  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/coachcuthbert/  

In this week's Strength Chat I was joined by Marine Corps veteran and gym owner, having competed in Strongman, Powerlifting, and Weightlifting, Alan Thrall. One of the biggest challenges for a lot of people when it comes to training is time. That's no different for Alan as he has to balance running a gym and family life. Therefore in this episode, we chatted about managing your time and mindset around changing goals.

It was absolutely awesome to catch up with one of the very first guests I had on Strength Chat, the man, the myth, the legend, Bryce Krawczyk. Bryce has been in and around powerlifting for such a long time, as both athlete and coach, so it's no surprise he's experienced some highs and lows. In this episode, we chatted about how that has helped him develop as a lifter, helped him coach his clients, as well as how to deal with the ups and downs of powerlifting.  You can follow Bryce via the following links: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bryce_cbb/?hl=en  Website: https://www.calgarybarbell.com/  You can follow myself, Coach Cuthbert, via the following links: Website: https://www.coachcuthberttrainingsystems.co.uk/  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/coach_cuthbert/?hl=en  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/coachcuthbert/  

In this week's episode I was joined by a sports nutritionist working with Fiercely Fuelled Nutrition and 5x South African National Powerlifting Champion, Pia Marangoni.

What an episode for this week's Strength Chat! In this episode I was joined by multiple IPF World Champion, Jessica Buettner, and a Strength Chat veteran with three previous episodes, Eric Helms. Off the back of Sheffield, and the first competition they've been to together, it was great to get an insight into how they work together so successfully. In this episode we chatted about preparing for Sheffield and then transitioning straight into worlds, working together online, as well as building a coach, client relationship.  You can follow Jessica via the following links: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/djessicabuettner/?hl=en    You can follow Eric via the following links: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/helms3dmj/?hl=en-gb  Website: https://3dmusclejourney.com/                You can follow myself, Coach Cuthbert, via the following links: Website: https://www.coachcuthberttrainingsystems.co.uk/  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/coach_cuthbert/?hl=en  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/coachcuthbert/

For this week's episode it was an absolute pleasure to be joined by a powerlifting coach working with Reactive Training Systems, John Garafano. I've followed John and Reactive Training Systems for some time now and the content and information they share is awesome. I also buy into their thoughts and philosophies around training and how to manage the lifter in front of you, rather than thinking of a one size fits all approach. Therefore, in this episode, we chatted about goal setting, common pitfalls lifters can fall into when setting goals, as well as managing the psychological side of training and competing.

In this week's Strength Chat, it was an absolute pleasure to be joined by a New Zealand and Commonwealth champion who holds the current squat world record of 223.5kg, Karlina Tongotea.

In this week's Strength Chat I was joined by a strength and conditioning coach with over two decades of experience, coaching across multiple sports, John Noonan. As most coaches, John started out in some of the more popular sports, such as football and rugby. Later in his career, he then got opportunities in sports that aren't necessarily as well known, such as winter and motor sports. However, the principles of coaching and making sure the athletes were ready for performance, still applied. Therefore, in this episode, we chatted about finding solutions, an all round approach to coaching, as well as learning from your mistakes.   You can follow John via the following links: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/johnnoonancoach/            Website: https://noonanperformance.com/            You can follow myself, Coach Cuthbert, via the following links: Website: https://www.coachcuthberttrainingsystems.co.uk/  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/coach_cuthbert/?hl=en  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/coachcuthbert/  

For this week's Strength Chat I was joined by coach, athlete, and mentor, Nick Gloff. I was lucky enough to catch Nick's presentation at the Kabuki Education Week and wanted to continue the conversation of the topics he covered. When it comes to hypertrophy, there is a lot of information on the training to build muscle, not necessarily how to keep that muscle. Therefore, in this episode, we chatted about how to create long lasting hypertrophy.  You can follow Nick via the following links: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nickgloff/?hl=en          Website: https://www.teamgloff.com/          You can follow myself, Coach Cuthbert, via the following links: Website: https://www.coachcuthberttrainingsystems.co.uk/  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/coach_cuthbert/?hl=en  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/coachcuthbert/ 

It was awesome to welcome back this guest to Strength Chat. A veteran of three previous episodes which have been some of the most well received episodes I've shared, today I caught up with the one and only, Dr. Mike Israetel.

We chatted about if strength impacts building muscle, how strong is strong enough, as well as programming.  You can follow Dr. Mike via the following links: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drmikeisraetel/?hl=en           YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@MikeIsraetelMakingProgress           You can follow myself, Coach Cuthbert, via the following links: Website: https://www.coachcuthberttrainingsystems.co.uk/  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/coach_cuthbert/?hl=en  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/coachcuthbert/  

In this week's episode it was an absolute pleasure to catch up with the man, the myth, the legend that is Steve Tripp. We last spoke back in Episode 224 which was a really popular episode and a chat I really enjoyed. With so much knowledge and experience from his own training and the clients he had worked with, Steve speaks with an understanding of what it takes to build serious strength and muscle. Therefore, in this episode, we chatted about the training for strength versus hypertrophy as well as effort and intent when going into the gym.  You can follow Steve via the following links: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/strippcam/?hl=en           Website: https://www.thetopstrengthproject.com/         You can follow myself, Coach Cuthbert, via the following links: Website: https://www.coachcuthberttrainingsystems.co.uk/  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/coach_cuthbert/?hl=en  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/coachcuthbert/   Leave a 5* review: https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/strength-chat/id1457822057 

For this week's Strength Chat it was an absolute pleasure to be joined by the Owner of Spartan Performance, Jack Lovett. As one of the top gyms in the U.K., Spartan is a must for anyone interested in strength training. Jack's focus on getting results and maintaining high standards across the board with his coaching programming is something that matched my own thoughts and philosophies. Therefore, in this episode, we chatted about how he built Spartan from the ground up, mistakes and lessons learnt, as well as coaching and strongman.  You can follow Jack via the following links: Instagram: https://instagram.com/spartan_performance_?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=          Website: https://spartanperformance.co.uk/        You can follow myself, Coach Cuthbert, via the following links: Website: https://www.coachcuthberttrainingsystems.co.uk/  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/coach_cuthbert/?hl=en  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/coachcuthbert/   Leave a 5* review: https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/strength-chat/id1457822057 

For this week's Strength Chat I was joined by a coach who has helped guys get jacked and become the strongest version of themselves, all based on thousands of hours of real world experience, Jay Ferruggia. We all have an image in our head of the person we want to be, whether that be how we look or how we act. From seeing Jay's lecture at the Kabuki Education Week, he gave his thoughts on how to make this happen. In this episode, we chatted about how acting your way into thinking differently can have positive impacts on your career and life, how to take action, as well as the common pitfalls and mistakes people can come up against.  You can follow Jay via the following links: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jayferruggia/?hl=en         Website: https://jasonferruggia.com/       You can follow myself, Coach Cuthbert, via the following links: Website: https://www.coachcuthberttrainingsystems.co.uk/  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/coach_cuthbert/?hl=en  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/coachcuthbert/   Leave a 5* review: https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/strength-chat/id1457822057 

In this week's episode I was joined by Physical Therapist and the Owner of Fitness Pain Free, Dan Pope. There can be a culture when it comes to injuries that certain movements are just avoided when they happen. This isn't always the best practice when thinking about long term movement. Therefore, in this episode, we chatted about Dan's approach to movement when injured, the language used when talking about injuries, as well as busting some common myths.  You can follow Dan via the following links: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/fitnesspainfree/?hl=en        Website: https://fitnesspainfree.com/      You can follow myself, Coach Cuthbert, via the following links: Website: https://www.coachcuthberttrainingsystems.co.uk/  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/coach_cuthbert/?hl=en  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/coachcuthbert/   Leave a 5* review: https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/strength-chat/id1457822057
