The Trainer's Scoop

Welcome to The Trainer's Scoop! In Episode 90. I'm rejoined by Jack Quint, who is the perfect guest to address a topic that I see causing a lot of chatter in the fitness industry right now — “are science based training methodologies going too far?” We've seen a major uptick in people that claim to be science based both in the gym and online, and as great as it is to incorporate science into any pursuit, misunderstanding its application can result in some big issues with your progress toward achieving your fitness goals. So I wanted to answer the, “How do I use science to achieve my goals,” conversation with Jack, who has a Masters Degree in an Exercise Science, making him well versed in interpreting studies, and having conducted research himself. Our goal for the episode was to help you develop the framework that you can use to integrate science into your fitness, without losing the plotHere's the timestamps!0:00 - 10:30 -  Continuing Education Programs for Trainers10:30 - 23:30 - What is Evidence Based? 23:30 - 35:00 - Has Science Based Gone Too Far? 35:00 - 41:30 - Experience Is Important 41:30 - 55:00 - Examining Various Camps in Fitness55:00 - 1:04:00 - Does it Matter? 1:04:00 - 1:15:00 - Good Practitioners 1:15:00 - 1:28:30 - Keep THIS in MindThank you all so much for watching/listening! Be sure to follow Jack: https://www.instagram.com/jackquintfitness/Fitness Science Explained:https://www.amazon.com/dp/1938895460/?bestFormat=true&k=fitness%20science%20explained&ref_=nb_sb_ss_w_scx-ent-pd-bk-d_de_k0_1_23&crid=2GRBQFI0GUSL4&sprefix=fitness%20science%20explainShare this episode around with your friends and family!

Thanks for checking out Episode 66 of The Trainer's Scoop with Tyler Besel!Oh boy folks, do I have a treat for you today. I'm joined by the one and only Reddit Famous Coach Ty, who is one of my (if not THE) favorite people that I met from my time interning with Progressive Performance. Ty is an accomplished coach and bodybuilder, music lover, and dog mom. I really respect her approach to coaching, and her accolades in the bikini division  are very impressive as well. Ty has accomplished much more than just standing on a stage while looking jacked, though. She is truly an expert when it comes to bodybuilding which is evident through her competitive career and the FAME that she built through her involvement in the Reddit bodybuilding forums, and that knowledge and expertise has translated very well into getting results for her clients with competitive and lifestyle improvement goals. I hope you enjoy the discussion, here are the time stamps!0-6:00: Who is Reddit Famous Ty? 6:00-15:00: Evolution Of Bodybuilding/Bikini Division 15:00-32:00: Ty's Competitive Career 32:00-38:00: Dealing With Burnout As A Coach38:00-49:00:Problems Coaches Run Into49:00-1:01:02: Fun Facts About Ty!Follow Ty on Instagram! https://www.instagram.com/thai.besel/Check out Progressive Performance:https://www.instagram.com/progressiveperformancep2/Share this episode around with your friends and family!

Dylan is 23 years old and absolutely crushing it, he already has an impressive powerlifting career under his belt, and has been training with the ambition to possibly do a bodybuilding show in the future. Dylan started lifting for sports, but as he got deeper into it, he realized lifting was his true passion.

From there, Dylan went on to work with some very big names in powerlifting, and was even invited to lift out at Elite FTS. Now his training is more hypertrophy based.Between the training talk and great discussion revolving around balancing the gym and life, this podcast was great to be a part of, and I hope you all got as much out of it as I did.Here are some of the time stamps from our discussion:0:00 - 9:00: Dylan's Story9:00 - 20:30: Powerlifting in Highschool20:30 - 34:00: Surrounding Yourself with Success 34:00 - 46:00: Tips for Peaking46:00 - 1:02:00: Training/Nutrition Talk1:02:00 - 1:15:25: Gym/Life BalanceGo give Dylan a follow, I have no doubt he's going to do some crazy things in the future. Instagram Link:https://instagram.com/dylgriggs?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=Share this episode around with your friends and family!
