Podcast appearances and mentions of matt pendola

Who says you can't get stronger as you get older? Today, Strength and RunForm Coach Matt Pendola is back and this time he's accompanied by one of his clients, Michael 'Stoke' Stoker, one member of a small group who Matt affectionately refers to as 'The Silverbacks'.   73 year old Stoke joins us to speak about how his 20 years of work with Matt has enabled him to continue powder skiing well into his 70's, and build his strength up to the point where he can now do 7 full pull ups using the gymnastic rings (having been unable to do just 1 when he was 60).   Matt walks us through his approach to working with older athletes, and some of the very specific exercises he includes as well as others which he avoids. If you're looking for inspiration both in your strength training and from a 73 years young ‘silverback' athlete, please pay attention as we also discuss:   Building grip and core strength to improve pull up strength Why plyometrics and mobility work are hugely important for older athletes Older athletes need better force production Let your body tell you how much recovery it needs The benefits of kettlebell training for female athletes Fitness aging and longevity: It's all about lifestyle choices   You can follow Matt on: Instagram: @PendolaProject Facebook: PendolaProject Website: https://www.pendolaproject.com and check out his programs including a free movement improvement assessment and protocol   Some special offers from Matt for podcast listeners: Use this code —>>> MATT10.

After teaming up with trainer Matt Pendola, Belding learned to approach hunting with the same mentality as any elite sport. Using chaos training, systemic breathing exercises, visualization techniques, and the tenacity of a dedicated athlete, Belding mastered the skills needed to excel on the hunt and avoid the kind of injuries and physical setbacks that can end a hunting career. A student of discipline and a proponent of natural conservation, living off the land, and not being afraid of a little elbow grease, Belding now dedicates his life to showing other guys and girls that you can feel better and have more strength, flexibility, and longevity doing something that you love.

Chad and Matt sit down to continue their on-going discussion of different approaches and ideologies when it comes to training, not just your body, but your mind as well. Transparency has been key thus far and that theme continues as the guys dig into areas that people often only talk to themselves about. We were thinking this would be a three part series but as we neared the end of part 3, it became apparent that these topics would need more of our time. So then....maybe a part 4 is around the corner! This episode is brought to you by Gerber Knives and MTN OPS!

To help us think more clearly about our mental skillset, I'd like to introduce you to Matt Pendola. Matt Pendola is a polymath and exactly the type of person I love bringing on the podcast. His diverse background includes success in not just coaching, but his education and his athletic career. Athletically, he's posted quite a few major accomplishments: He Won the Elite Spartan World Championships Masters Division (2015) Age group runner up Duathlon Nationals (2015) Qualified for Duathlon World Championships 3x 4th Overall at the Northface Trail Championships and 3rd in his division (2014) He’s also a Road Runner Club of America certified running coach, massage therapist, creator of Pendola Training, and has a host of continuing education certifications in strength training, performance, and even Jack Daniels' coaching program. In this interview, Matt and I are discussing the mental factors that contribute to our success in running. Because after you get your training right, the next big avenue for improvement is mastering your mindset and improving your confidence, drive to train, willingness to suffer, and finding the intrinsic motivation to always run consistently. BTW, I haven't explored this topic on Strength Running at length. We have programs for injury prevention, strength training, dialing in your nutrition and fueling, coaching, and for beginner runners. But not for fine-tuning our mental fitness. So if you have any questions, or suggestions, or ideas that you’d love for me to cover, find me on Instagram and send me a message (my direct messages are always open and I want to hear from you).
