Podcasts about Deadlift

In this episode the guys break down the best squat, deadlift and bench press variations and accessories to explode your strength — box squats, belt squats, front squats, split stance squats, trap bar deadlifts, zercher squats, suitcase carries, reverse hypers, dips, incline press, and bands and chains. They also get into a study showing married young adults are significantly happier than their single peers, astaxanthin as an internal sunscreen supplement, the spike in strokes among people in their 20s and 30s, alpha-gal syndrome increasing 3000% in some states, and Justin's family trip to Yellowstone. Then they coach live callers submitted through mplivecaller.com — Aaron from Indiana on body composition after strongman, Derek from California on a slow bulk and rising body fat, Nick from Alberta on low testosterone after multiple concussions, and Kathy from Florida on building muscle and bone density with MS and osteoporosis.   MAPS Summer Sale — https://mapsfitnessproducts.com Code: SUMMER40 — 40% off everything (programs, bundles & mods) — June 1–14 only   SPONSORS Caldera Lab — https://calderalab.com/mindpump Code: MINDPUMP20 — 20% off first order.    Kion — https://getkion.com/mindpump 20% off — automatically applied at checkout.    Butcher Box — https://butcherbox.com/mindpump No code needed — Choose your free for life offer + $20 off: free sirloin tips for life, free chicken wings for life, or free ground beef for life.

Episode 111 of The Okay Podcast is here.

Episode 2796 - Vinnie Tortorich and Anna Vocino discuss the basics of glute exercises with a booty-building 101, and more. https://vinnietortorich.com/2026/05/booty-building-101-episode-2796 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Pure Vitamin Club Pure Coffee Club NSNG® Foods VILLA CAPPELLI EAT HAPPY KITCHEN YOU CAN WATCH THIS EPISODE ON YOUTUBE - @FitnessConfidential Podcast Vinnie's workout videos are available to purchase!

TO PURCHASE VINNIE'S WORKOUT VIDEOS, CLICK THIS LINK: https://vinnietortorich.com/workout Booty Building 101 Body trends have changed over time. Older bodybuilding aesthetics favored smaller glutes; modern culture/influencers popularized bigger butts. (4:15) Contrasts natural training for glute development with cosmetic surgery trends (e.g., BBLs) and criticizes the extreme social media fitness culture. Vinnie warns strongly against performance-enhancing drugs, peptides, and SARMs. There have been multiple deaths among young pro bodybuilders because these substances are dangerous. (12:20) These are key glute-building compound exercises. You may want to view the YouTube video to see some of the items they discuss. (21:00) Back squats (can be free weights or Smith machine) Leg press Lunges or Bulgarian split squats Deadlifts Hip thrusts/glute bridges (machine or barbell) Genetics influence results, but progressive strength training can build more glute muscle over time. Training glutes twice per week (three times is "overkill"), spacing sessions out (e.g., Tue/Fri or Mon/Thu). Training Guidance Here is some program guidance: Choose 3 exercises each session from the main list and rotate the order each workout. Do a "to-failure" style session once per week. In the other weekly session, train at about 85% effort (higher reps, stop short of failure). Avoid going to failure in every workout to reduce the risk of injury and burnout. Keep these techniques in mind (28:00) Slight toe turnout is OK (about 10–12%), not extreme "ballet" turnout. Keep heels planted; if ankle/hip mobility is limited, elevate heels slightly until flexibility improves. For lunges, avoid letting the knee travel too far over the toes; aim for depth limited by hip flexor mobility while maintaining safer alignment. Avoid "tucking" the pelvis like a ballerina; think "sit back" with glutes engaged. Deadlift basics: push through heels, keep the bar close. It should be rubbing your quads, and hex bars can make the pattern easier to feel. Ideas for travel/mobility tips for long drives: stop often, move/stretch, consider using a yoga mat, and do a brief activity (jump rope, jumping jacks, etc.). (31:30) DOMS (delayed-onset muscle soreness) is microscopic muscle tears largely from eccentric (lowering/lengthening) contractions, not lactic acid.

What happens when a flooring contractor decides to deadlift a priceless china cabinet during a job?

What happens when a flooring contractor decides to deadlift a priceless china cabinet during a job?

You're stuck at the same weight on your squat or bench, so you assume the answer is more reps, more volume, more grind. But piling on more work without fixing the weak link is exactly how you stay stuck. In the latest episode of Broads, I break down why your core's job isn't crunches, why knees cave in your squat, and how Bulgarian split squats force your glutes to finally do their job. And when your hips shoot up in your deadlift, I unpack what that says about your hamstrings and how to fix it so your strength actually shows up at lockout. Fix the weak link, and the lift follows. What's Discussed: (03:22) Why doing more squats won't fix a squat plateau (05:03) Bulgarian split squats fix knee cave and glute weakness (08:27) Paused bench press builds strength at your sticking point (11:52) RDLs fix weak deadlift lockout and hip hinge issues (12:26) Why squatting your deadlift limits hamstring strength (15:33) Press more than you pull and your shoulders pay (18:40) Your core's job is resisting movement, not crunching (22:56) Accessory work fixes weak links and prevents injuries Check out more from Broads: Website: https://www.broads.app Instagram: @broads.podcast @broads.app Head to https://www.broads.app/broadscoach and apply for BroadsCOACH.

In this episode of The Jordan Syatt Podcast, I explain the science of goal setting as well as the exact goal-setting process I've used every year for the last decade so you can use it to make the most out of your 2026.I also share the story of how and when I decided I wanted to Deadlift 4x my bodyweight.I explain what happened when I completely stopped lifting for 3 months straight as I traveled around Europe and The Middle East.And I share the [slightly embarrassing] story of when I thought I was having a heart attack in Israel and freaked out on my cab driver.I hope you enjoy this episode and, if you do, please leave a 5-star review on iTunes and Spotify (huge thank you to everyone who has written one so far).Finally, if you've been thinking about joining The Inner Circle but haven't yet... we have hundreds of home and bodyweight workouts for you and you can get them all here: www.sfinnercircle.com.

It's a stand-alone, high stakes survival thriller, with no supernatural elements, although there are ancient bones and a hidden crypt, as it wouldn't be me otherwise! The Kickstarter campaign in April had 231 Backers pledging £10,794 (~US$14,400) and the hardback is a gorgeous foiled edition with custom end papers and research photos as well as a ribbon. As an AI-Assisted Artisan Author, I used AI tools to help with the creative and business processes, including the background image of the cover design, the custom end papers, and the Death Valley book trailer, which I made with Midjourney and Runway ML. The audiobook is also narrated by my J.F. Penn voice clone, which took a while to get used to, but now I love it! You can listen to a sample here. I published Death Valley wide a few months later over the summer, so it is now out on all platforms. J.F. Penn — Blood Vintage. A Folk Horror Novel, and Catacomb audiobook I did a Kickstarter for the hardback edition of Blood Vintage in late 2024, and then in 2025, worked with a US agent to see if we could get a deal for it. That didn't happen, and although there were some nice rejections, mostly it was silence, and the waiting around really was a pain in the proverbial. So, after a year on submission, I published Blood Vintage wide, so it's available everywhere now. My voice clone narrated the audiobook, listen to a sample here. I also finally produced the audiobook for Catacomb, which is a stand-alone thriller inspired by the movie Taken and the legend of Beowulf set in the catacombs under Edinburgh. I used a male voice from ElevenLabs, and you can listen to a sample here. The book is also available everywhere in all formats. J.F. Penn — The Buried and the Drowned Short Story Collection One of my goals for 2025 was to get my existing short stories into print, mainly because they exist only as digital ebook and audiobook files, which in a way, feels like they almost don't exist! Plus, I wanted to write an extra two exclusive stories and launch the special edition collection on Kickstarter Collection and then publish wide. I wrote the two stories, The Black Church, inspired by my Iceland trip in March, and also Between Two Breaths, inspired by an experience scuba diving at the Poor Knights Islands in New Zealand almost two decades ago. There are personal author's notes accompanying every story, so it's part-short story fiction, part-memoir, and I human-narrated the audiobook. I achieved this goal with a Kickstarter in September, 2025, with 206 Backers pledging almost £8000 (~US$10,600) for the various editions. I also did my first patterned sprayed edges and I love the hardback. It has head and tail bands which make the hardback really strong, gorgeous paper, foiling, a ribbon, colour photos, and custom end papers. The Buried and the Drowned is now out everywhere in all editions. As ever, if you enjoy the stories, a review would be much appreciated! Joanna Penn Books for Authors Early in the year, How to Write Non-Fiction Second Edition launched wide as I only sold it through my store in 2024, so it's available everywhere in all formats including a special hardback and workbook at CreativePennBooks.com. While I didn't write it in 2025, I made the money on it this year, which is important! I also unexpectedly wrote the Fourth Edition of Successful Self-Publishing, mainly because I saw so much misinformation and hype around selling direct, and I also wanted to write about how many options there are for indie authors now. The ebook and audiobook (narrated by human me) are free on my store, CreativePennBooks.com and also available in print, in all the usual places. If you haven't revisited options for indie authors for a while, please have a read/listen, as the industry moves fast! All my fiction and non-fiction audiobooks are now on YouTube After an inspiring episode with Derek Slaton, I put all my audiobooks and short stories on YouTube. Firstly, my non-fiction channel is monetised so I get some income from that. It's not much, but it's something. More importantly, it's marketing for my books, and many audiobook listeners go on to buy other editions especially non-fiction listeners who will often buy print as well. I'm one of those listeners! It's also doubling down on being human, since I human narrate most of my audiobooks, including almost all of my non-fiction, as well as the memoir, and short stories. This helps bring people into my ecosystem and they may listen to the podcast as well and end up buying other books or joining the Patreon. Finally, in an age of generative AI assisted search recommendations, I want my books and content inside Gemini, which is Google's AI. I want my books surfaced in recommendations and YouTube is owned by Google, and their AI overviews often point to videos. Only you can decide what you want to do with your audiobooks, but if you want to listen to mine, they are on YouTube @thecreativepenn for non-fiction or YouTube @jfpennauthor for fiction and memoir. The Creative Penn Podcast and my Patreon Community It's been another full year of The Creative Penn Podcast and this is episode 842, which is kind of crazy. If you don't know the back story, I started podcasting in March 2009 on a sporadic schedule and then went to weekly about a decade ago in 2015 when I committed to making it a core part of my author business. Thanks to our wonderful corporate sponsors for the year, all services I personally use and recommend — ProWritingAid, Draft2Digital, Kobo Writing Life, Bookfunnel, Written Word Media, Publisher Rocket and Atticus. It's also been a fantastic year inside my Patreon Community at patreon.com/thecreativepenn so thanks to all Patrons! I love the community we have as I am able to share my unfiltered thoughts in a way that I have stopped doing in the wider community. Even a tiny paywall makes a big difference in keeping out the haters. I've done monthly audio Q&As which are extra solo shows answering patron questions. I've also done several live office hours on video, and shared content every week on AI tools, writing and author business tips. Patrons also get discounts on my webinars. I did two webinars on The AI-Assisted Artisan Author, which I am planning to run again sometime in 2026 as they were a lot of fun and so much continues to change. If you get value from the show and you want more, come on over and join us at patreon.com/thecreativepenn We have almost 1400 paying members now which is wonderful. Thanks for being part of the Community! Unexpected goal of the year: Masters in Death, Religion and Culture at the University of Winchester During the summer as I did my gothic research, I realised that I was feeling quite jaded about the publishing world and sick of the drama in the author community over AI. My top 5 Clifton Strengths are Learner, Intellection, Strategic, Input, and Futuristic — and I needed more Input and Learning. I usually get that from travel and book research, but I wasn't getting enough of that since Jonathan is busy finishing his MBA. So I decided to lean into the learning and asked ChatGPT to research some courses I could do that would suit me. It found the Masters in Death, Religion and Culture at the University of Winchester, which I could do full-time and online. It would be a year of reading quite different things, writing academic essays which is something I haven't done for decades, and hanging out with a new group of people who were just as fascinated with macabre topics as I am. I started in September and have now finished the first term, tackling topics around thanatology and death studies, hell and the afterlife in the Christian tradition, and the ethics of using human remains to inspire fiction, amongst other interesting things. It was a challenge to get back into the style of academic essay writing, but I'm enjoying the rigour of the research and the citations, which is something that the indie author community needs more of, a topic I will revisit in 2026. I have found the topics fascinating, and the degree is a great way to expand my mind in a new direction, and distract me from the dramas of the author community. I'll be back into it in mid-January and will finish in September 2026. Book marketing. Not quite a fail but definitely lacklustre. I said I would “Do a monthly book marketing plan and organise paid ad campaigns per month for revolving first books in series and my main earners.” I didn't do this! I also said I would organise my Shopify stores, CreativePennBooks.com and JFPennBooks.com into more collections to make it easier for readers to find things they might want to buy. While I did change the theme of CreativePennBooks.com over to Impulse to make it easier to find collections, I haven't done much to reorganise or add new pathways through the books. I'm rolling this part of the goal into 2026. I said I would reinvigorate my content marketing for JFPenn, and make more of BooksAndTravel.page with links back to my stores, and do fiction specific content marketing with the aim of surfacing more in the LLMs as generative search expands. I did a number of episodes on Books and Travel in 2025, but once I started the Masters, I had to leave that aside, and although I have started some extra content on JFPennBooks.com, I am not overly enthusiastic about it! I also said I would “Leverage AI tools to achieve more as a one-person business.” I use AI tools (mainly ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini) every day for different things but as ever, I am pretty scatter gun about what I do. I lean into intuition and I love research so I am more likely to ask the AI tools to do a deep research report on south Pacific merfolk mythology, or how gothic architecture impacted sacred music, or geology and deep time, rather than asking for marketing hooks. I intended to use more AI for book marketing, but as ever, I was too optimistic about the timeline of what might be possible. There's lots you can do with prompting, finessing things and then posting on various platforms, but I'm not interested in spending time doing that. My gold standard for an AI assistant is to feed it the finished book and then say, “Here's a budget. Go market this,” and not have to connect lots of things together into some Frankenstein-workflow. That's not available yet. Maybe in 2026 … Of course, I still do book marketing. I have to in order to sell any books and make money from book sales. We all have to do some kind of book marketing! I have my Kickstarter launches which I put effort into, as well as consistent backlist sales fed by the podcast, and my email newsletter (my combined list is around 60K). I have auto campaigns running on Amazon Ads, and I have used Written Word Media campaigns as well as BookBub throughout the year. This is basically the minimum, so as usual, must do better! I'm pretty sure I'm not the only author saying this! However, my business has multiple streams of income, and I have the podcast sponsorship revenue as well as the Patreon, plus sporadic webinars, which add to my bottom line and don't require paid advertising at all. Reflections on my 50th year I woke up on my 50th birthday in March in Iceland, by the Black Church of Budir out on the Skaefellsnes peninsula. As seals played in the sea and we walked in the snow over the ancient lava field under the gaze of the volcano that inspired Jules Verne Journey to the Centre of the Earth, and my short story, The Black Church, which you can find in my collection, The Buried and the Drowned. On that trip, we also saw the northern lights and had a memorable trip that marked a real shift for me. I've been told by lots of people that 50 is a ‘proper' birthday, as in one of those that makes you stop and reconsider things, and it has indeed been that, although I have also found the last few years of perimenopause to be a large part of the change as well. A big shift is around priorities and not caring so much what other people think, which is a relief in many ways. Also, I don't have the patience to do things that I don't think are worth doing for the longer term, and I am appreciating a quieter life. I'd rather lie in a sunbeam and read with Cashew and Noisette next to me then create marketing assets or spend time on social media. I'd rather go for a walk with Jonathan than go to a conference or networking event. In my Pilgrimage memoir, I quote an anonymous source, “Pilgrim, pass by that which you do not love.” It's a powerful message, and I take it to mean, stop listening to people who tell you what is important. Listen to yourself more and only pay attention to that which you feel drawn to explore. On pilgrimage, it might be turning away from the supposedly important shrine of a saint to go and sit in nature and feel closer to God that way. In our author lives, it might be turning away from the things that just feel wrong for us, and leaning into what is enjoyable, that which feels worthwhile, that which we want to keep doing for the long term. Let's face it, as always, that is the writing, the thinking, the imagination. As ever, I have this mantra on my wall: “Measure your life by what you create.” It's the creation side of things that we love and that's what we need to remember when everything else gets a little much. Many authors left social media in 2025, and while I haven't left it altogether, I don't use it much. I post pictures proving I am human on Instagram @jfpennauthor which automatically post to Facebook. I barely check my pages on Facebook though. I'm also still on X with a carefully curated feed that I mainly use to learn new cool AI things which I share with my Patreon Community. Double down on being human. Travel and health. Yes, I am a human author, and yes, I continue to age! When you've been publishing a while, you need to update your author photos periodically and I finally had a photoshoot I loved with Betty Bhandari Photography, which means I can add the new pics to my websites and the back of my books. Are you up to date with your author photos? (or at least within a decade of the last photoshoot?!) Here are a few of the pictures on Instagram @jfpennauthor. Healthwise, I gave up calisthenics as it was too much on top of the powerlifting and the amount of walking I do. I did another British Powerlifting competition in September in the M2 category (based on age) and 63kgs category (based on weight). Deadlift: 95kgs. Squat: 60kgs. BenchPress: 37.5kgs. While this is less overall than last year, I also weigh less, so I'm actually stronger based on lift to body weight percentage. I have also done a few pull-ups in the last week with no band, which I am thrilled with! On the travel side, Iceland was the big trip, and I also had a weekend in Berlin for the film festival, where I met up with a producer and a director around an adaptation of my Day of the Vikings thriller. That didn't pan out, as most of these things don't, but I certainly learned a lot about the industry — and why it doesn't suit me! Once again, I dipped my toe into screenwriting and then ran away, as has happened multiple times over the years. When will I learn? … Over the summer of 2025, I visited lots of gothic cathedrals including Lichfield, Rochester, Durham, York, and revisiting Canterbury, as part of my book research for the Gothic Cathedral book. I have tens of thousands of words on this project, but it isn't ready yet, so this is carried over into 2026 as it might happen then, depending on the Masters. I spoke at Author Nation in Las Vegas in November 2025, and before it started, I visited (Lower) Antelope Canyon, one of the places on my bucket list, and it did not disappoint. What a special place and no doubt it will appear in a story at some point! How did your 2025 go? I hope your 2025 had some wonderful times as well as no doubt some challenges — and that you have time for reflection as the year turns once more. Let me know in the comments whether you achieved your creative goals and any other reflections you'd like to share.The post Review Of My 2025 Creative And Business Goals With Joanna Penn first appeared on The Creative Penn.

In this episode of Beast Over Burden, hosts Niki Sims and Andrew Jackson unpack how GLP-1 medications, TRT, and peptides are changing the coaching landscape—and what that means for strength training. Drawing from years of hands-on coaching experience, Andrew explains how GLP-1s and strength training interact, why muscle preservation becomes critical during rapid fat loss, and how tools like TRT can accelerate progress without changing the core rules of adaptation. If you're a lifter training on GLP-1 medications, considering TRT, or a coach working with clients using these tools, this episode delivers a first-principles framework for protecting muscle, managing recovery, and training for long-term health. Competing at 40 looks different than it did in your 20s—and that's not a bad thing. In this episode of Beast Over Burden, Niki Sims and Andrew Jackson recap Niki's recent deadlift-only meet, breaking down why she decided to compete again, how she trained while traveling, what went wrong during the taper, and what the experience revealed about strength, perspective, and showing up at 40. This isn't a PR story. It's an honest look at preparation, adversity, meet-day chaos, and the value of competing without tying your identity to a number on the bar. What You'll Learn in This Episode Why a deadlift-only meet made sense at 40 How pulling 405 in training reopened the door to competing The training structure that stayed simple—and the one key change that mattered How frequent travel and inconsistent gyms affected recovery and performance What a "rough taper" actually feels like A realistic approach to weight management without extreme cutting Meet-day logistics, warm-up chaos, and disrupted attempts Why missing a lift doesn't mean missing the point What it means to be proud of your strength at 40 Timestamps 00:00 – Intro and why this meet recap matters 02:33 – Pulling 405 and deciding to compete again 06:49 – Training approach and key program changes 10:47 – Training while traveling: 20 gyms in one year 15:08 – Getting sick, a rough taper, and reset expectations 20:35 – Weight management and attempt selection 28:24 – Meet-day chaos, warm-ups, and attempts 36:45 – What Niki learned from a deadlift meet at 40change 46:00 – Final thoughts: tools don't replace training 48:10 – How to work with a Barbell Logic coach PS - Ready to finally see real change? Lean In 12 delivers noticeable fat loss, improved strength, and unmatched consistency through expert coaching and daily support — all in one premium 12-week program.

In this episode, I use the deadlift as a lens to explore how sensation and mechanics work together in reducing pain and improving performance. I walk through the difference between interoception and proprioception and why sensation does not automatically mean injury. By paying attention to how the body organizes itself under load, we can move away from compensation and toward clearer, more efficient movement patterns. I also discuss bracing, breath, and responsiveness, and introduce the concept of yellow lights, the subtle signals that appear before pain does. This episode is especially helpful if you are returning to lifting after pain, feeling unsure about core bracing, or wanting to lift with more ease, clarity, and confidence while still building strength.

Jennifer McKinnon is fierce. Doctors said Jennifer wouldn't live past the age of three.Today, she's a single mom of twins, an unstoppable advocate who's raised over a million dollars for cystic fibrosis research, and the founder of Just One More Breath. Her story is proof that while CF is tough, Jennifer is tougher, and that hope, when held fiercely, can change everything.Jennifer was born in the 1970s with cystic fibrosis, a time when the disease was still cloaked in uncertainty and fear. Few children with CF lived to see adulthood, and the treatments that exist today were still decades away. From the very beginning, every breath she took was a small act of defiance. Hospital rooms became her playgrounds, IV poles her silent companions, and the steady rhythm of nebulizers the soundtrack of her childhood.But even in those sterile rooms filled with machines and medicine, Jennifer's spirit burned bright. She refused to let CF define her — or defeat her. Through endless hospital stays, setbacks, and the exhausting daily grind of treatments, she found reasons to laugh, to dream, and to keep fighting. Every milestone, every birthday, every deep breath, became a victory.Then came 2019, a year that would rewrite her story once again. With the arrival of Trikafta, the groundbreaking CF modulator, Jennifer's world shifted. Suddenly, life felt lighter — her lungs stronger, her body more capable. For the first time, she could picture a future not limited by her disease but expanded by possibility. She could plan, imagine, and live, truly live, in ways she once only dreamed of.Yet Jennifer's story isn't just about survival; it's about transformation. Rather than turning inward, she turned outward — channeling her strength into action. She's raised over a million dollars for cystic fibrosis research, driven by the belief that every dollar brings us closer to a cure. She became a mother to twins through the extraordinary gift of her sister, proving that family and love can find a way even when the odds seem impossible.Today, Jennifer stands as a single mom, a tireless advocate, and the voice behind Just One More Breath, a platform dedicated to raising awareness, sharing stories, and inspiring others to keep pushing forward ... one breath at a time.Her journey is a powerful reminder that life with cystic fibrosis is unpredictable, yes, but it is also breathtakingly beautiful. It's a life lived with intention, courage, and grace. Jennifer's story teaches us that even when the odds seem insurmountable, resilience can turn pain into purpose, and hope can carry you through the darkest storms.Because for Jennifer, every breath is more than survival.It's a celebration of strength, of love, and of the limitless power of the human spirit.Jennifer on IG: https://www.instagram.com/just.onemorebreath/?hl=enWebsite: https://jennifer-mckinnon.com/?  Please like, subscribe, and comment on our podcasts!Please consider making a donation: https://thebonnellfoundation.org/donate/The Bonnell Foundation website:https://thebonnellfoundation.orgEmail us at: thebonnellfoundation@gmail.com Watch our podcasts on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@laurabonnell1136/featuredThanks to our sponsors:Vertex: https://www.vrtx.comViatris: https://www.viatris.com/en

How can lifters and coaches apply the latest research to train smarter and perform better? In this podcast, Coach Mike and Andrew talk with Zac and Josh from Data-Driven Strength about evidence-based practices, sports psychology, and the evolving strategies in powerlifting. They explore key topics like proximity to failure, training volume and frequency, and how to bridge the gap between research and real-world coaching.

The deadlift, long seen as a raw test of human strength, has evolved from ancient feats of lifting stones and heavy objects into a cultural symbol of resilience, power, and mastery over one's own body.Slightly less grand, yet no less important, it is best seen as a foundational movement for longevity and everyday function. The deadlift teaches us to hinge at the hips and strengthen the muscles we need to sit, stand, and lift safely. It builds grip, posture, and core stability—the qualities that protect us as we age and keep us moving well.In our latest Move For life conversation with the Ageless Workout's Shebah Carfagna and Nate Wilkins we explore the deadlift's role in training the posterior chain—the back, glutes and hamstrings – while differentiating it from ‘good mornings,' and stressing some safety-first protocols for beginners.   You should seek medical advice before embarking on a new exercise.-----This podcast is supported by affiliate arrangements with a select number of companies.

In this episode of Strength in Knowledge, Dr. Zach Baker, DPT, sits down with Dr. Corrie Jones, DPT, to tackle one of the most common—and most misunderstood—questions in rehab and performance: What's the best exercise for your patient or client? Together, they break down the clinical decision-making process behind exercise selection, and why the answer often isn't as simple as it seems. From evaluating patient needs to applying thoughtful progressions, regressions, and lateralizations, Zach and Corrie explore how context, creativity, and clinical reasoning all shape effective programming.

NBA superstar LeBron James recently went viral for a deadlift video that had the internet scratching its head. Was it bad form? Brilliant training? Or something else entirely? The Home Team is joined by Dr. Kelly Starrett to break down exactly what's happening, what we can learn from it, and how it ties into bigger conversations about training, injury prevention, and youth sports.From hot takes on LeBron's trainer's methods to why pro athletes train differently than the rest of us, we cover the nuances of performance training—and where the general public often gets it wrong. We also dig into the rise of Achilles injuries, how parents can act as “human performance directors” for their kids, and why sports are a non-negotiable for youth development.Episode Timestamps:0:00 Kelly joins the Home Team1:50 Questioning LeBron's trainer's qualifications3:40 Kelly's optimistic hot take6:00 BUT… he's doing couch stretch!7:01 Why pro basketball players train differently10:30 Critiquing the strength training world12:40 The gym is the safest place in the world—LeBron's goal isn't getting stronger14:22 The complicated rise of Achilles injuries18:14 Sometimes you just let people be20:10 Does CrossFit make athletes look non-athletic?24:50 The gym should serve the court, not the other way around26:30 High school sports demand more than ever27:50 Parents as untrained “human performance directors”30:00 The pay-to-play problem in youth sports31:02 The purpose of athletics33:17 Why kids should learn Olympic lifting36:44 MDV's World Bodysurfing Championship debut41:25 Carbs that help performance (fueling is key)49:55 It all depends on the sport and the athlete52:14 The “beard of wisdom” moment53:33 Could we do what they do at their age?Thanks for tuning in to the Jason Khalipa Podcast!
