E206: Marcus Leoni :Tren, Permanence and Morality Feb 24, 2021

Show notes

Join us for this week's episode of RX'D Radio where Dr. Jordan Shallow is joined by Marcus Leoni for a rather deep and introspective chat about drugs, politics, morality and the meaning of life. Marcus is a Powerlifter and member of the Hybrid Performance team down in Miami, Florida.

The duo discusses everything from Tren to "the weeds", and the differing moral considerations behind recreational and performance-enhancing drug use. Outlining some of their experience within the strength and coaching industries, we are given insight into the often poor choices that are made surrounding the use of PEDs, and some considerations to make prior to partaking. Touching on political and religious views, the conversation takes a deeper turn towards the meaning of human existence. Shallow and Marcus discuss Nihilism, the caveats to this belief and what this means for the greater purpose of human existence. At the end of the day the boys bring it back to the choices you can make to forge better human connection, create greater impact in the world around you and leave a mark on human history.

E205: BIG BIDNESS: Start With Heart Feb 17, 2021

Show notes

This week we return for another BIG BIDNESS discussion with your hosts Dr. Jordan Shallow and Killian Hamilton. The discussion this week focuses on the struggles associated with getting your business going out of the gate. The boys take an unexpected approach focusing on moral values, self integrity, and how guiding your choices "from the heart" will further your success in the long run. Shallow and Killian recount some of their lowest points financially, recounting how experiences such as these help to calibrate the perception of your "problems" and help to develop character. Killian and Shallow review some of the best habits of successful people, self sabotaging habits and how this relates back to human nature. The overwhelming theme this week revolves around development of self, sticking to your own moral compass, and focusing on what you can give to the world around you to naturally create leverage for yourself and your business.

E203: Matt Seaman Feb 03, 2021

Show notes

Today, Jordan Shallow welcomes Matt Seaman to the podcast for an old school riff on human anatomy, structure versus function, and the application of these concepts as a coach. Matt Seaman is an exercise specialist, performance coach and nutritionist with experience and certifications behind his name. Based out of the UK, Matt also provides online education on exercise, movement and nutrition through his company, My Fitness Platform, and hosts the Teaching the What, the Why & the How Podcast.

The conversation opens with a brief introduction of Matt: his systems for vetting information and synthesizing information, and how he applies his knowledge to his clientele's needs. As the conversation moves into human anatomy, the two focus on the structural and functional aspects of the ribcage and pelvis. Matt and Jordan discuss in detail the mechanics of breathing and how certain training modalities can lead to physical alterations in the shape and function of the rib cage. We receive clarification around the "pump and bucket handle" movements associated with the rib cage during breathing cycles, and the common dysfunctions associated with the pelvic floor. The two also cover proper function of the shoulder and hip throughout gait cycle, highlighting how muscle actions change depending on the anatomical position or the movement being executed. Blowing up the "single solutions" approach, the team highlights the importance of context and applying the right tools to the right situation.

E202: Kyle Dobbs: Compound Performance Jan 27, 2021

Show notes

This week, Dr. Jordan Shallow welcomes Kyle Dobbs to RX'D Radio. Kyle is the founder of Compound Performance, out of NYC. A family man first, Kyle is also a leading strength coach and educator in the industry. He works with clients at all levels of training, and with coaches from all over the world.

The men discuss Kyle's business and online services -- primarily the limitations of and appropriate applications for online training. Kyle is currently the rehabilitation coach for the infamous (and RX'D Radio-famous guest), Phil Daru, and he discusses his work with Phil and provides some tidbits from their work that may be appropriate for general training. The conversation turns to technical evaluations of the ribcage and pelvis in both static and dynamic positions, and Kyle and Shallow discuss how training strategies should differ between clientele based on training age and sporting requirements. The two highlight the dangers of mobility without stability, and how the neurological and biomechanical systems function in stretching and stability exercises. You won't want to miss the brain gains in this episode, but you will likely want $1 for every time Shallow says, "squatty squats."

E199: Secrets to Success - Suck Less in 2021 Jan 06, 2021

Show notes

Today the head honchos of Pre-Script start the New Year off in OG RX'D Radio style. Dr. Jordan Shallow and Dr. Jordan Jiunta unite in frustration over social media, and discuss how online platforms have capitalized on COVID in such a way that has resulted in users further detaching from real, personal interactions.

The Jordans review how the compulsive use of platforms such as Instagram may disorder our mental health, as how online personas do not reflect the real life individual, we project our ideals onto these personas and we reify the false online identities that they have created. The boys walk us through how they rank order lines of communication to most effectively interact with those closest to them, how they schedule their days and the tools they use to keep them productive and away from online distractions. Shallow highlights how social media has created a world of "unearned wisdom" when people confuse online "experience" with real life hardships. We are reminded that in the bigger picture it's the little things that matter, and the small steps that we take to connect and provide service to those around us that make the greatest impact: making conversation with your local butcher may pay off in a free cut of steak. Today's takeaways: schedule your time, take action, and be of service to others.

E198: Mike Barnes: Muscle Hypertrophy By The Muscle Coach Himself Dec 30, 2020

Show notes

RX'D Radio welcomes Muscle Coach Mike Barnes to the stand! Mike is a national-level bodybuilder and strength coach based out of the Toronto area, and he hosts the podcast, Buried Under the Bar. Today we take a deep dive into what it really takes to be a competitive bodybuilder.

Shallow and Mike begin the discussion reflecting on the bodybuilding industry today and the perception of being a bodybuilder versus the action required to become one. They discuss the "smarts" of bodybuilding training techniques and the willpower required for a competitor to make center stage. The team analyzes hypertrophy training and the gray area that still surrounds the methodology. They address "grip and rip," versus "smart" techniques, how each may produce different results on stage, and how to unite these concepts. Mike spills the tea on the most intense weeks of his competition prep and talks about the serious mental fortitude necessary to push past the psychological limits predetermined by millions of years of human evolution. The conversation travels through the history of bodybuilding and the best names to grace the stage, and addresses how "success" in the bodybuilding world has been redefined by the emergence of social media. Shallow and Mike present bodybuilding as a process rather than an outcome, and Mike tells us his secret motivations that help him to keep pushing.

E197: James Thayer: Communication and Coaching Dec 23, 2020

Show notes

This week on RX'D Radio, Dr. Shallow and our guest host, Pre-Script™ Head Coach in Canada, Killian Hamilton welcomes Coach James Thayer to the podcast. James is an experienced Ace Fitness and Pre-Script™ L1 Coach. He owns Byproduct Performance and currently runs Campus Recreation at Washburn University.

Killian and James talk about all things strength training as related to sport. On the table for discussion is a feast of coaching and programming concepts: emphasizing the importance of proper exercise selection to bridge the gap between strength and stability in an athlete's training; what it means to train skill versus adaptation; breadth of knowledge and skilled application of exercise; the importance of having an open mind accompanied by the ability to be critical when analyzing exercise methodology. Shallow makes a highlight of the concept of inoculation - often overlooked as an important concept to help break athletes out of their own mental limitations. The importance of breadth of perspective, critical thinking, and gathering experience before approaching a goal is highlighted throughout the episode -- in Killian's terms, "start with a full page and erase down from there". We finish off with a surprise turn to The 5 Love Languages, touching on the importance of communication and understanding of one's self in order to better understand those around you.
