We are back with a new muscle group today! Over the next two weeks, we will be diving into the anterior and medial delts. This muscle group is one of Sue and Alex's favorites to train and grow. And—delts are incredibly important as they are used in nearly every function of the upper body.

Listen in as we discuss daily activities that the delts contribute to (which is a lot), why you should grow your delts, programming considerations for your training sessions, and some common delt training mistakes.

Be sure to download the FREE delts cheat sheet so you can follow along with this and next week's episodes!

As always, it is our goal not only to supply you, the listener, with valuable insights on the topics or questions but also to plant some seeds for further research and thought. Be sure to like and subscribe and leave us a review if you loved this episode!

The Addiction No One is Talking About with Kasey Jo Orvidas Aug 01, 2024

Please join us in welcoming Kasey Jo Orvidas—Published researcher holding a PhD in Psychology, dog mom, iced coffee connoisseur, and big anti-bullshit advocate. We're diving into how to fast-track yourself to a growth mindset and kick that fixed mindset mentality to the curb.

A growth mindset is believing your abilities can be developed and improved through new learning and effort over time. A fixed mindset is the opposite—it is believing your abilities are unchangeable.

Adopting a growth mindset can lead to increased motivation and personal development—since you can actually LEARN from your setbacks or failures and do the hard things.

Plus, Kasey and her team are launching a FREE three-part series on how to effectively coach your clients through self-sabotaging, ending all-or-nothing thinking, and sticking to the plan. To grab your spot, click here or head to the link below!

How Self-Limiting Beliefs Are Keeping You From Reaching Your Goals (& how to overcome them) | PD Podcast Ep.142 Dec 04, 2023

Most people have self-limiting beliefs that they are not good enough or worthy enough for something (or someone). This causes them to act according to this belief system. The American Society of Training and Development (ASTD) did a study on accountability for people trying to reach a goal.

Here's what they found:

The probability of you completing a goal IF:

-You have an idea of wanting to lose weight: 10%

-You consciously decide or declare you will do it: 25%

-You decide WHEN you will do it: 40%

-You plan HOW you will do it: 50%

-You commit to someone you will do it: 65%

-You commit financially that you will do it and have specific accountability appointments with the person or coach you committed to: 95%

What's a self-limiting belief you have? Do you tell yourself you aren't cut out for it? Like you can't be good enough? It's important to distinguish between something that is important vs something that is essential to you. Self-sabotaging happens when there's a mismatch between our values and our behavior.

Listen in as Sue and Alex discuss how your self-limiting beliefs could be holding you back from your goals, common struggles or objections when looking for an online coach, and how to vet coaches so you find the best coach for YOU.

(16:03) Determining value in a goal

(24:04) The BEST way to ensure you complete a goal (based on research)

(27:25) Common struggles or objections when looking to start with an online coach (& how to better vet them)

(27:46) "I'm struggling to trust in what the coach prescribes"

(38:19) "The coach's physique is not how I would like it to look"

(43:04) "I've worked with other coaches and not seen the results I wanted... why would this be any different?"

(48:17) "I'm afraid that my coach won't actually help me to reach the goals I've set"
