In this After Dark episode of the Iron Sights Podcast, I sit down with Jimmy Prendergast from Modern Athlete Strength. I've been following these guys for a while now, and if you're into the training side of what we talk about here—especially in the tactical space—you're gonna want to hear this.Jimmy and his team come from a deep background in D1 sports, the NFL, and tactical strength and conditioning. We get into all of it—his career path, how he approaches programming for athletes in complex environments, and what it actually means to train like an athlete when you're balancing strength, speed, power, and capacity.We dig into the gray areas of what works, what doesn't, and how to avoid common traps when programming for concurrent training. This was a fun one for me—Jimmy's sharp, knows his stuff, and breaks things down in a way that's accessible for coaches and athletes alike.If you're a first responder, military, or just someone who wants to train hard and smart—this conversation is packed with takeaways.

When it comes to navigating fitness during pregnancy and beyond, finding the right guidance can make all the difference. In this eye-opening conversation, we sit down with CrossFit coach Crystal Thompson who shares her unique journey from competitive athlete to prenatal and postpartum fitness specialist.Crystal reveals how she maintained her training throughout two healthy pregnancies and offers practical insights that go far beyond the typical "listen to your body" advice. She breaks down the science of diaphragmatic breathing and explains how proper breathing techniques can preserve core strength and pelvic floor function during pregnancy. "What you want to think about during pregnancy is preserving what you currently have," Crystal explains, offering a refreshing perspective on realistic fitness goals during this season of life.The discussion takes us deep into topics rarely covered elsewhere – from the mechanics of diastasis recti (abdominal separation) to the hormonal rollercoaster of postpartum recovery. Crystal doesn't shy away from sharing her personal experiences, including the emotional challenges of dividing attention between a newborn and toddler, and how her relationship with fitness evolved after giving birth.What makes this episode particularly valuable is Crystal's dual expertise – both as a certified Pregnancy and Postpartum Athleticism coach and as someone who's lived through the experience herself. She demystifies common misconceptions about training during pregnancy, explains why postpartum guidance is arguably more important than prenatal advice, and offers practical tips for maintaining strength through all stages of motherhood.Whether you're currently pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or supporting someone who is, this episode delivers honest, evidence-based information that empowers women to approach fitness with confidence during one of life's most transformative journeys. Ready to discover how to maintain your strength and come back even stronger after pregnancy?

"We are routinely challenged to provide workouts for individuals with little workout experience and very limited resources." - Greg Glassman
In this final episode of the exercise series, Lisa steps out of theory and into lived experience — sharing a personal essay written during her senior year of college. Titled “Inside the Box,” the piece chronicles one intense day inside a CrossFit gym. Topics Include:CrossFit Exercise EnthusiastsCommunityPersonal Transformation[1:05] Lisa explains her intention to wrap up the conversation on exercise by sharing a personal essay she wrote 10 years ago, rather than continuing with her own thoughts, theories, and ideas on the subject. Lisa notes it was a paper written for an investigative journalism class in her senior year of college in 2015. She mentions it is optional reading in the group coaching program's exercise module. The essay, “Inside the Box,” details one day of a CrossFit workout. Lisa describes the workout emphasizing the extreme intensity and challenge.[4:52] Lisa describes the physical environment of the CrossFit gym, referred to as a “box,” as a space dedicated to transforming bodies and minds. The gym's layout includes workout equipment like kettlebells, medicine balls, and free weights on one wall, and rowing machines and pull-up bars on the other. A whiteboard advertises CrossFit as an “anti-aging drug” with side effects including stamina, strength, flexibility, power, speed, agility, coordination, balance, accuracy, and community.[8:12] Lisa describes the official CrossFit philosophy, established by Greg Glassman in 2000, aims for overall improvement in all capacities rather than specialization. Lisa talks about the program's controversial reputation due to injuries, hospitalizations, and deaths, with rhabdomyolysis being a known repercussion. [11:57] Lisa recounts her participation in a highly encouraged fundamentals class, designed to teach prospective athletes “how to walk before learning how to run.” With a personal trainer, she learned proper form for deadlifts, presses, squats, snatches, and thrusters using a 15-pound training bar, before graduating to join the regular class.[19:05] Lisa highlights the strong sense of community, mutual support, and camaraderie. She describes how finished athletes support those still working out and how CrossFitters are attracted to the atmosphere, community, camaraderie, and sense of belonging, [23:42] Lisa recounts her lifelong dread of gym class and the mile run, starting her fitness journey at 302 pounds at her first Jenny Craig appointment, aiming to halve her body weight. Lisa describes months of diverse exercises and particularly challenging interval training on the treadmill with a stern trainer. She details the physical discomfort and her internal struggle. Lisa describes the mindset shift from resistance to a “bring-it-bitch attitude,” where temporary suffering became an indication of pushing limits, resulting in feelings of power, strength, achievement, and triumph, and feeling invincible. Lisa explains why CrossFit's intensity, addiction, and cult-like following do not surprise her.[41:18] Lisa clarifies that her essay reflects her personal experience and investigation. She emphasizes that CrossFit varies greatly depending on the gym (“box”) and its community, and her experience may not be universal for all CrossFit participants. Lisa ends the series by thanking all of her listeners for going on the journey with her.*The views of podcast guests do not necessarily reflect the views and beliefs of Lisa Schlosberg or Out of the Cave, LLC.Purchase the OOTC book of 50 Journal PromptsLeave Questions and Feedback for Lisa via OOTC Pod Feedback Form Email Lisa: lisa@lisaschlosberg.comOut of the Cave Merch - For 10% off use code SCHLOS10Lisa's SocialsInstagram Facebook YouTubeReclaiming Peace With Food Retreat at the Omega Institute - September 7-12, 2025

In this unique endurance event, participants have 36 hours to climb 29,029 feet — the vertical equivalent of summiting Mount Everest — by hiking up and down a mountain repeatedly. Scott shares how a recent carpal tunnel surgery became the catalyst for shifting gears and training for one of the most mentally and physically demanding challenges of his life. We get into the training, the event itself, and what it really means to push your limits.This one's all about grit, and showing up for the next big thing — even after life throws you a curveball.

With a background in competitive gymnastics and years of experience in CrossFit, Breanna brings a results-driven, athlete-first approach to rehab that meets people where they're at—literally and figuratively.In this conversation, Breanna shares how her intense desire to create a specific vision for her life and future family gave her the clarity and drive to overcome the early hurdles of entrepreneurship. She dives into the mindset shift that helped her push through moments of doubt, the fears she faced when starting her business, how she learned to sell her services, and what she loves (and doesn't love) about being a business owner. Her advice for new entrepreneurs? Get clear on your “why”—because once you know that, the “how” falls into place. And the “when” is now.Whether you're a new business owner, a therapist ready to leave the traditional clinic behind, or simply someone looking for a dose of motivation, this interview is full of relatable insights and real-world wisdom from someone who's built her business from the ground up.
