Take the 2-minute quiz to see if AI-powered coaching can help you adjust your strength training during fat loss, preserve muscle while losing weight, and make smarter decisions about volume, intensity, and recovery—all personalized to your data and goals:https://witsandweights.com/app--How do you train for fat loss? Most people screw this up by making disastrous training adjustments like switching to high reps, dropping intensity, or adding excessive cardio. Then they wonder why their muscle and strength drop.Discover how to preserve every bit of hard-earned muscle while losing fat by keeping load/intensity high, reducing volume (strategically and if necessary), and using auto-regulation to manage recovery when it's your most limited resource.Learn why lighter weights and high-rep "fat burning" workouts destroy body recomp results, how to time carbs for better performance during a deficit, and why HIIT could be sabotaging your strength training and muscle preservation.This evidence-based approach to strength training during fat loss will help you lose fat without sacrificing muscle, maintain lifting performance in a calorie deficit, and come out of your cut looking lean, strong, and ready to build muscle again.Episode Resources:Fitness Lab AI Coaching App - 20% off December 17-January 2, available on iPhone (with Apple Health integration!) and now and Android tooTimestamps:0:00 - Training for fat loss (not fat burning workouts) 2:52 - The myth of high reps for fat loss 5:20 - Understanding strength vs. muscle during a deficit 9:32 - Intensity (weight/load, % of 1RM) and volume 13:12 - Auto-regulation strategies that work during cuts 20:24 - Recovery is your limiting factor 24:10 - How Fitness Lab helps adjust training for fat loss 26:43 - Carb timing strategies for better performance 30:00 - Too much cardio? 33:12 - Simplifying assistance (accessory) work 36:00 - Exercise selection and joint care during cuts 39:20 - Realistic expectations and mindset during fat lossSupport the show

Strength training and structured fitness can transform quality of life for autistic and neurodivergent individuals. Eric Chessen began developing meaningful fitness programs after realizing there was almost no guidance on how to safely and effectively support this population. His work focuses on bridging the gap between exercise science and positive behavior support so individuals of all ability levels can build strength, confidence, and long-term independence.We discuss why traditional motivations for fitness (like aesthetics or sports performance) often don't apply to neurodivergent athletes and how professionals can create programs that prioritize functional movement, daily living skills, and proactive behavior support. Eric explains why “stronger is safer,” how resistance training supports fall prevention and mobility, and why distinguishing structured exercise from loosely defined movement is essential. He also highlights collaboration opportunities with SLPs, OTs, BCBAs, and parents, sharing how fitness can be integrated into therapy sessions in consistent, scalable ways.For clinicians, educators, and families wanting to bring structured, neuroaffirming fitness into their work, Eric offers Autism Fitness certifications worldwide, along with site-based programming and individualized athlete coaching.

In this episode of ‘All Things Endurance Podcast,' host, Rick Prince chats with Chris Lee, founder and owner of Kinesis. Chris is a strength and conditioning specialist with a focus on working with endurance athletes, both amateur and professional.  Rick and Chris discuss the rise in popularity of strength training amongst endurance athletes, as well as the key benefits of strength training, how to set up a home gym and how to integrate strength training into a cardiovascular-based program. Below are the specific areas that Rick and Chris chat about during this episode:1.     Could you tell our listeners a little bit more about yourself?2.     In the past, strength training was only really done in the off-season, if at all. Why do you think there is renewed focus on strength training for endurance athletes?3.     Do you think the recent focus on longevity plays a role into the interest in strength training?4.     Specific needs aside, if an athlete could only do 5 exercises, which ones would you suggest and why?5.     Most of us know what the main benefits of strength training are. However, what are some other benefits that aren't as common knowledge (ex: durability, stiffening tendons, etc…)?6.     A lot of endurance athletes are not sure how to successfully integrate strength training into a cardiovascular program without it negatively impacting their cardio-based training sessions. Any advice in this area?7.     What equipment would you recommend to an athlete looking to build their own gym?8.     While there is increased strength training adoption amongst endurance athletes, a lot of endurance athletes are still not doing strength training. Why do think this is?9.     Could you tell our listeners a bit more about Kinesis?To learn more about Chris Lee and Kinesis (physical location and the Kinesis app), please visit:www.kinesisintegrated.com 

In this episode of the Training Science Podcast, Prof Paul Laursen sits down with Professor Anthony Turner to unpack the fundamental laws that underpin performance in every sport, from explosive team games to marathon running and cycling. Instead of debating opinions or trends, Anthony brings everything back to first principles: Newton's laws of motion, impulse, force, and the biomechanics of movement.Using endurance running as the main example, the conversation explores why strength training is just as essential as VO₂max and threshold for performance and economy. Ant explains how maximum strength and rate of force development shape running economy, ground contact time, stretch-shortening cycle efficiency, and ultimately time to exhaustion. They then extend these concepts to running, cycling, and long-term robustness.Listeners will also learn how to progress strength logically: from movement quality and symmetry, to heavy lifting, to power work and plyometrics, all while staying healthy and reducing injury risk. Whether you coach team sports, work with endurance athletes, or train yourself, this episode will change the way you think about strength training, biomechanics, and sport performance.Perfect for anyone interested in strength and conditioning, running economy, endurance performance, injury prevention, and applied sport science.References:https://thefitnessformula.training/_____________________ Today's speakers:Prof Paul Laursen  https://www.paullaursen.com/   Anthony Turner: https://www.linkedin.com/in/anthony-turner-62073788/_____________________

Soraya grew up dancing, then lost herself in motherhood. Four kids, a demanding job, and years of putting herself last. When she finally tried to come back to fitness, she started jogging because it felt simple. But her joints hurt, her blood pressure was high, her clothes fit tighter every year, and she kept hiding in oversized layers. She was jogging and even did races, but nothing about her body was changing.When she started structured strength training with me in March, everything shifted. She went from a size 16 to slipping out of her 14s. Her waist started showing again, her posture improved, her glutes lifted and her blood pressure normalized! And she's wearing fitted clothes, even crop tops because the changes are visible.In this conversation, we talk about:the moment she realized cardio wasn't shaping her bodyhow lifting lowered her blood pressure when running didn'tthe confidence shift that showed up in her closet and her homethe boundaries she created as a mom to train consistentlyletting go of the “bulky” fear and inspiring her own mom to start liftingIf you're already working out and not seeing the results you expect, Soraya's story will make it clear: effort isn't the problem- strategy is.Book your Training AuditIf you train consistently but your body isn't changing the way you want, book a Training Program Audit. It's a focused, 20-minute zoom meeting where I look at exactly what you're doing- your exercises, your structure, your intensity and tell you what's blocking your aesthetic progress. You get expert bodybuilding eyes on your routine, clear feedback, a call recording, and a recap with specific adjustments.It's for women who are already showing up, already sweating, already trying and want those efforts to finally pay off.

Send us a textIn this Fusion Hack, Dove Putterman breaks down one of the most misunderstood areas of physique development: the difference between training your abs and building a truly flat, tight, pressure-controlled core. Dove dives straight into the purpose of LPF (Low Pressure Fitness) — originally designed to help the body recover from the internal trauma of childbirth, and now used to optimize pressure management for athletes of all levels. Dove explains why you can have a low body-fat percentage yet still struggle with a protruding midsection, how LPF activates the transverse abdominis, and why so many athletes confuse “ab training” with actual core function. She breaks down common misconceptions about crunch variations, compounded ab work, and why your core is working in every workout, whether you realize it or not.Dr. Dove Putterman is a wife and a proud mother of FIVE amazing children! Seven years after giving birth to triplets, she stepped on stage for the first time and went on to earn her Wellness IFBB Pro card at the Natural Canadian Pro Qualifier.

Send us a textThis episode dives deep into one of the most misunderstood parts of physique sport: core function, pressure management, LPF (Low Pressure Fitness), and why what you do in training shows up on stage. Dove Putterman breaks down the nuances of breath, posture, transverse activation, and why a small waist has far more to do with internal mechanics than body fat percentage.From being asked if she was “expecting again,” to explaining why lean athletes can still carry belly protrusion, Dove opens up conversations most women are too embarrassed to ask. She reveals the truth about vacuums, rib flares, diaphragm dysfunction, and why so many competitors unknowingly create pressure issues that sabotage their appearance on stage.The episode mixes technical education with humor — mic bumps, slop transitions, banter with Jamie, and real-world examples like diaphragm massage (and yes… the bathroom aftermath). Dove breaks down sympathetic vs. parasympathetic training states, pressure mismanagement, rib positioning, bucket posture, and why exhale-focused training changes everything.She also highlights why LPF is the missing link for most athletes, why “breathwork” is often misunderstood, what a real vacuum actually is, and how small daily details add up to stage-shaping results. It's a highly informative, deeply practical, and refreshingly honest conversation about the mechanics behind an elite, functional, visually aesthetic core.Dr. Dove Putterman is a wife and a proud mother of FIVE amazing children! Seven years after giving birth to triplets, she stepped on stage for the first time and went on to earn her Wellness IFBB Pro card at the Natural Canadian Pro Qualifier. Struggling with core control issues after pregnancy, she discovered Low Pressure Fitness through the bodybuilding community which not only transformed her physique and remedied her lower back pain, but also inspired her to become a coach working with athletes from amateur competitors to Olympians and helping them master core control for posing, training and stability not to mention developing that hourglass shape on stage!https://www.instagram.com/drdove_ifbbprohttps://www.fitbodyfusion.com/pages/online-competition-coachingWelcome to FitBody Lifestyle the podcast hosted by Jami and Greg DeBernard!

When a debilitating back injury derailed Jesse Prescott's own athletic endeavours over a decade ago, it created in him an obsession with better understanding the root causes of pain, learning how to strengthen his body against future injury, and sharing what he learned with athletes of all ages and abilities. What followed was a journey into the inner workings of movement and performance and a career teaching others how to overcome their own pain and unlock the best version of themselves through his corrective manual therapy practice and strength coaching. Soon, Jesse was working with some of the fastest runners in North America in Flagstaff, Arizona; constantly tweaking and improving his programming to be tailor-made for the needs of runners. Combined with his manual therapy practice, runners began finding a solution to years spent dealing with chronic pain and vicious injury cycles and The Robust Human Project was born. Today, Jesse joins the show to share his unique approach to pain management and his strength training philosophy, one that he believes is at the heart of helping runners of all abilities get healthy, stay healthy, and bring out the best performances of their career.Learn more about Jesse Prescott at The Robust Human Project websiteand on Instagram @the.robust.humanSubscribe to The Shakeout Podcast feed on Apple, Spotify, YouTube or wherever you find your podcasts.Thanks to this week's sponsor, CanPrevPrime your preparation, power your performance, and prioritize your post-run recovery with CanPrev.

In this inspiring strength training transformation story, Niki Sims and Andrew Jackson sit down with Coach Mac McGregor and his longtime client, Gillespie Ferguson, to explore one of the most powerful journeys ever shared on Beast Over Burden. Once a self-described "unathletic" late starter plagued by chronic pain, self-doubt, and years of setbacks, Gillespie rebuilt not just his lifts but his entire understanding of what he was capable of. Through patient coaching, persistent work, and a deep friendship formed through the process, he transformed from a hesitant beginner into a confident, physically capable Coast Guard volunteer on the Isle of Skye. In this candid conversation, Mac and Gillespie walk through the early struggles of pain and insecurity, the slow technical rebuild of every lift, the psychological work of staying committed through setbacks, and the surprising breakthrough that came years into training. They also share the dramatic impact of Lyme disease, the process of starting over from scratch, and why knowing how to train is the ultimate form of resilience. This episode is a reminder that strength is not reserved for the gifted—it's for anyone willing to start, struggle, and keep showing up. Whether you're a beginner, someone returning from pain, a coach working with complex clients, or simply someone who needs to hear that transformation is possible at any age, this is an episode you don't want to miss. What You'll Learn in This Episode How Gillespie went from chronic pain and self-doubt to the strongest he's ever been Why rebuilding technique can feel slow—but changes everything The role of psychology, confidence, and patience in long-term coaching How Coach Mac used experimentation and customization to solve persistent pain What to do when progress stalls (sometimes for months at a time) The breakthrough moment when strength finally "clicked" How improved nutrition and mindset accelerated transformation The surprising impact of Lyme disease—and how to start over the right way Why strength training skills stay with you for life How training helped Gillespie earn a place in the Coast Guard Why this strength training transformation story is so powerful for late starters Timestamps 00:00 – Intro: Meet Mac & Gillespie 02:25 – Gillespie's beginnings: not athletic, not confident, but willing 07:40 – Early training attempts & meeting the first lifters who inspired him 11:10 – Working with Carl Schutt & the challenges that carried into lockdown 15:55 – The first in-person session with Mac & rebuilding from scratch 21:30 – Psychology of pain, fear, and believing you're "not built for strength" 26:05 – The slow technical fix: empty bar squats, 40-kg deadlifts, constant troubleshooting 30:20 – When progress finally took off: nutrition, confidence, and consistency 35:42 – Hitting big PRs: 187.5 kg deadlift, 140 kg squat, and more 39:55 – Disaster strikes: the onset of Lyme disease 43:20 – Starting over with a fresh LP after treatment 47:00 – Becoming Coast Guard–ready: strength meets service 50:25 – What Gillespie wishes he could tell his younger self 54:10 – Mac and Gillespie reflect on friendship, persistence, and purpose 58:00 – Final thoughts & how coaching changes lives PS: Get early access to Black Friday Sales > https://bit.ly/3LmWhx2 - Save 50% on Online Coaching and Nutrition - Save up to 50% on the Barbell Academy - Gift Strength and get a bonus month   Connect with the hosts Niki on Instagram Andrew on Instagram Connect with the show Barbell Logic on Instagram Podcast Webpage Barbell Logic on Facebook Or email podcast@barbell-logic.com

Do you really need to warm up before a strength training workout? Amy Hudson and Dr. James Fisher kick off a brand-new series titled Principles of Exercise Design. In this series, they'll break down the key components that make every workout safer, more effective, and better aligned with your goals. In today's episode, they explore one of the most debated topics in fitness: the warm-up. You'll learn what science says about warming up, when it's truly necessary, and why strength training might already include everything your body needs to prepare. Tune in to hear how understanding the purpose behind warm-ups can help you train smarter, reduce wasted time, and focus on what actually drives results. Dr. Fisher starts by asking whether a warm-up is really necessary before strength training.  He explains that extensive research shows no real need for a separate warm-up before lifting. The very nature of strength training includes a built-in progression that prepares the muscles safely and effectively. Dr. Fisher explains that most people don't begin their first repetition at maximum effort. Instead, the gradual increase in resistance and intensity throughout the set gently primes the muscles for heavier loads. Dr. Fisher highlights how progressive recruitment within a set serves as a warm-up. As you perform each repetition, your body gradually activates more muscle fibers. This process raises muscle temperature, enhances coordination, and makes an additional warm-up unnecessary. Amy and Dr. Fisher explain why some exercises, like sprints, need a warm-up.  Sprinting is an all-out movement that demands maximum force right from the start. To avoid injury, the body must be prepared through light activation that prepares the muscles and joints. Dr. Fisher highlights that strength training is controlled, not explosive. Exercises like leg presses or chest presses never begin with maximal effort or range of motion. The gradual increase in load throughout the session replaces the need for stretching or separate warm-ups. Amy explores the logic behind warming up. She points out that it's sensible before activities demanding sudden force or unpredictable motion. But in strength training, your first repetitions are never your hardest, so the warm-up happens organically within the session. Dr. Fisher explains why good personal trainers skip long warm-ups. The goal isn't to fill time; it's to let your muscles warm naturally as resistance and effort increase. Amy and Dr. Fisher break down the two types of warm-up: general and specific. A general warm-up involves light activity, like cycling for a few minutes, to increase circulation and muscle temperature. It feels good, but it isn't essential before resistance training. Dr. Fisher describes a specific warm-up as targeted preparation for a heavy lift. This means gradually increasing load with lighter sets before attempting a maximal effort. It's useful when working toward top performance in compound lifts like deadlifts. Learn how personal training keeps you from overdoing your workouts. Dr. Fisher explains that a good session should be structured so your body adjusts safely, reducing fatigue and building strength without unnecessary strain. Dr. Fisher discusses whether wearing warm clothes affects muscle readiness.  He clarifies that feeling warm doesn't mean the muscles are functionally prepared. True readiness comes from gradually increasing effort, not from external temperature. Amy concludes by summarizing the key insight from today's episode. In strength training, the warm-up is already built into the structure of the exercise itself. The progressive loading and fiber recruitment at the start of each set make a separate warm-up unnecessary.     Mentioned in This Episode: The Exercise Coach - Get 2 Free Sessions!

We all know how important it is to stay strong and agile as we age. But how do we do that without putting too much strain on the body through heavy exercise? In today's episode, fitness expert Joan Pagano joins me to dive into an incredibly effective training tool for improving agility, balance, and bone strength.  Joan shares her expert knowledge and practical tips, and we discuss how step training is key to reducing fracture risk by strengthening bones and improving mobility. I love Joan's approach because, in addition to exercise, it prepares your body for real-world situations.

So many midlife women describe themselves as stressed, but what if what we're calling “stress” is actually something deeper happening inside the body? In this powerful conversation, Heather sits down with Dr. Aimie Apigian, physician, speaker, and author of The Biology of Trauma, to unpack the difference between everyday stress and stored trauma that shows up as overwhelm, exhaustion, irritability, or feeling “stuck.” Together, they explore why midlife is often the moment unresolved patterns surface, how the nervous system drives our physical and emotional responses, and why pushing harder, at work, at home, or even in the gym, can actually reinforce a survival state. Dr. Aimie shares how to know the difference of recognizing tools for healing rather than triggers for dysregulation, and she offers the first steps to reset your system, build true resilience, and reconnect with the energy and clarity you've been missing. If you've been living in go-mode for so long it feels normal, this episode will help you understand your body, reclaim your power, and finally begin your reset.

Bryan Callen is roasting cold plungers, calling everyone “inflamed” and “swollen,” and clowning on the sauna-cold plunge obsession… so we had to respond.

In this inspiring episode, Nikki Sims and Andrew Jackson sit down with two of Barbell Logic's most recognizable names: Nikki Berman (Director of Client Experience) and Coach Bekah Creek (PT and longtime BLOC coach). Together, they dive deep into what strength training for moms really looks like—during pregnancy, postpartum, deployments, sleepless nights, and every chaotic season in between. Nikki shares the full arc of her journey: from chasing "skinny" through extreme dieting and cardio, to discovering barbell training, to becoming a mother of four and finding her strongest, most capable self along the way. Her candid stories—including training through nausea, the realities of relaxin, managing back-to-back pregnancies, and an unexpected home birth—offer a rare, empowering look at motherhood through the lens of strength. Coach Bekah walks through the coaching side: how to modify programming for pregnant or postpartum clients, when to push, when to pull back, and why the marathon mindset of "something is better than nothing" can be transformational for busy moms. Together, they illustrate how strength training can anchor a woman through the most demanding phases of life. Whether you're a mother, a future mother, a coach working with pregnant/postpartum clients, or simply someone looking for hope and consistency, this conversation highlights the resilience and adaptability that define strength training for moms.
