Matt and Scott answer your questions in Q&A #3. Listeners submitted questions via email and Instagram and the boys will tackle them over the course of several episodes. They also read some podcast reviews (good and bad) from iTunes.   This week they answer: Colin asks: What physical, mental, or medical conditions would preclude someone from barbell training? Aortic aneurysm. As Scott says, if you walk normally and can defecate then you're probably good to go. Matt won't train anyone with fibromyalgia either. If a trainee misses a workout in a HLM program, is there anything you can do to avoid messing up the whole week? There's no shortcut to building the stress necessary to drive the weekly 5RM, so not really. If absolutely necessary you could do the light workout followed immediately by the medium workout, to avoid losing the week. However this is very suboptimal and should only be done as a last resort. Scott mentions adding two more days to your training "week" so that you stretch out the SRA cycle from 7 days to 9 days, but again this is a major compromise. From Matt B: Why doesn't Online Great Books read Gilgamesh as part of the reading progression. Isn't it even older than Homer? Scott gets this question all the time, and the answer is that Gilgamesh has some problems. The main issue with Gilgamesh is that it was lost until 1853. Aristotle doesn't mention Gilgamesh, neither does Shakespeare. It doesn't seem to have influenced anyone in the Western canon, therefore it wasn't part of the actual Great Conversation. What does a good training log look like? Scott uses FitBot for a video log of his training, but he swears by a paper log too. In his view, a paper log should have the date, the warm-ups and work weights, notes about performance and cues for future workouts. Matt likes to track his bodyweight too.   More Q&A's to come in the future!

Journals aren't just for recording your feelz... they are a useful training tool too. Even in today's frenzied technology age, good old pen and paper are the best tools for logging your training and developing a deeper understanding of how well your training is driving you toward your goals.   That's not to say there's no place for apps and spreadsheets. These digital tools offer the ability to track trends and metrics very easily and can be accessed on a variety of devices. Yet, the tactile experience of recording your training and training notes in a physical logbook engages the brain in a way that typed notes do not. A recent Princeton and UCLA study compared two cohorts - one asked to record notes on assigned reading materials by hand in a notebook, and another asked to record the same notes in a computer via keyboard - and found that the group recording notes by hand gained a deeper understanding of the principles in the material, and retained that knowledge for a longer period of time. The researchers noted that handwriting offers tactile feedback, perhaps due to the greater amount of fine motor skills involved compared to typing, which causes the brain to pause and consider what is being written more deeply. Typing on a keyboard, on the other hand, does not confer the same degree of tactile feedback, thus it was not as effective for retaining knowledge.   Needless to say, it's not much effort to log your training on paper. As a novice trainee, learning to use the programming jargon of set and rep schemes by writing them down is helpful when communicating with your coach. As your training progresses, recording notes about how you felt each day - whether it's a formalized assessment of effort like RPE or simply a note about the subjective experience of training that day - will provide useful data on how you respond to various programming methods. Some workouts, like conditioning workouts involving circuits, EMOMs, and anything involving a variety of exercises with different sets and reps, are difficult to log accurately in a spreadsheet or app. Using a journal in this case makes it easier to track your performance in those workouts.   Bottom line, if it's worth doing, it's worth writing down. Go ahead and use your Fitbot account, spreadsheet, or app of choice, but log in your notebook too. Years and many reps later, you'll thank yourself for the wealth of training data you have built!   Connect with 40fit Radio 40fit website Facebook 40fit Masters Community 40fit Radio on Instagram

This week's show we recount the biggest lessons on how to coach and deal with competitive athletes from Monday's interview. We also review a film which covers the entire history of barbecue in different countries. We wrap up with a review on FitBot.

Casey Jenks is the visionary founder of Fitbot, the communication software for coaches and athletes that is changing the world. What used to take a coach hours to complete is now taking them just minutes and Fitbot is the reason why. Active Life was one of the first companies in the world using Fitbot, we saw the value immediately. We like it so much that we decided to do an episode all about how it works, why it was founded, who it's for, and why you are missing out if you're not on it. This is a good episode for any entrepreneur or for any coach or athlete who writes or receives private programming.   Fitbot can be found at: @fitbot www.thefitbot.com

Casey tells us the story of FitBot and the itch he scratched when developing the software.  It is a tremendous tool for coaches to have in their tool belt.  It solves a ton of problems from client communication to retention to saving mass amounts of time.  Technology is undeniable and this is an area you'll want to keep an eye on!

Casey Jenks is the CEO and Co-Founder of The Fitbot. If you ask any coach who pursues individual coaching about their number one tool -- I guarantee you they will say Fitbot. Not only does it allow you take massive leaps in efficiency, it give you the time and space to focus on delivering value to your clients. Measure compliance rates, deliver designs, demo videos, take notes during consults, communicate under one roof -- and so much more. If you want to scale your client load without sacrificing quality -- this is the tool you need in your arsenal to become apart of your coaching system. I wanted to get inside the mind of Casey and see what sparked this for him and where we see individualized coaching headed.

What would it take to get Casey Jenks functional fitness sainthood status? Is that a thing? If we just put his face on a medal and wear it around our gym, will that do the trick? Casey’s the creator of Fitbot, the software that keeps our personal training programs from being our personal nightmares. One thing we’ve found as gym owners is that people very rarely stumble upon a great opportunity without first encountering a world of pain. For Casey (and for us before he came along with Fitbot,) the pain was in the logistics of maintaining individualized fitness plans for personal training clients. To manage all the aspects of a program with remote, in-person, and hybrid clients, the whole digital circus would have to come to town: email, Excel, Google Docs, Evernote, Vimeo, copying, pasting, smartphones, desktops. When Casey would ask other coaches how they were keeping track of fitness plans, the same gigantic list of tools would come up. Luckily for all of us in fitness entrepreneurship, Casey already happened to be a software developer. “I got sick of it, and decided to fix it. And I’ve believed that I could do a better job than what was being done. And I believe that what coaches and trainers do is a super-important part of society, and the tools they had at the time were just complete shit. And I believe that they deserve better.” But let’s back up to why efficient individualized fitness plans are even necessary: A lot of coaches start with group fitness, and this is where they feel most comfortable. So this is sometimes where they want to stay. But personal training is what your gym needs in order to extend the lifecycle of your members. We see a ton of burnout after two years, but with a robust personal training program, you not only extend the interest and commitment of your clients, but you create a useful career path for your coaches. Join us as we talk to Casey about how well-managed personal training programs increase income, improve employee and client retention, and get the best athletic results.
