#987: Hybrid Training - Effective Method? Or Fastest Way To Lose Strength & Size? Jul 08, 2024

Show notes

EASILY one of the most talked about training styles in the fitness world right now... Hybrid Training.

And with Hyrox on the rise, it's only going to get more popular amongst individuals training around the world.

But is it actually effective? What are the benefits? And can you still build muscle training this way or will all the cardio eat away at your gains?

In this episode of the podcast, I answer ALL of those questions and more -- in MASSIVE detail, so that you can walk away knowing exactly what you should think about this new and trendy training style!

- - - - - - -

LISTENERS’ QUESTIONS:

Does hybrid training cause a lot of muscle loss?
Is there a significant difference for muscle growth between someone just focused on muscle vs. someone who’s hybrid training?
How to balance it out and ensure you’re still recovering?

What is Hybrid Training?

Isn’t it just CrossFit…? No, that’s a sport.
It’s the combination of multiple types of training that normally would be conflicting or have opposing goals.

Pro’s of Hybrid Training:

Health and overall benefits being more vast (more benefits overall)
Longevity in both life, as well as training, is more likely.
Functionality for a physically active lifestyle
More likely to help someone get lean or sustain a leaner physique, due to calorie expenditure being greater

Con’s of Hybrid Training:

Less likely to build significant amounts of muscle
Slower overall progress, when goal is hyper specific
Potential wear and tear on joints
Training could potentially take a lot of time per week

Who’s Hybrid Training Best Suited For?

Advanced individuals who don’t desire building more muscle
Someone who’s solely focused on aerobic capacity and pure strength
An individual who has general goals and has a primary focus on being functional

Setting up a hybrid program

Upper/Lower/Upper/
Push/Pull/Legs/Push/Pull
Full Body w/ More Upper Body
Full Body w/ More Posterior Work
Careful consideration with hip flexors and exercises that overwork your adductors, hips, and spinal erectors.

#984: Training Program Design Principles Pt.1 Jun 17, 2024

Show notes

Training Program Design is a beautiful blend of science and art, coming together to create an individualized experience for anyone entering the gym. But because there’s science, art, and individualization… It can get VERY COMPLEX!

There’s thousands of training methods, tons of workout strategies, and millions of opinions from everyone from trainers to meatheads to your friend’s sorta-buff nephew who acts like he knows everything under the sun.

So what matters, really, when it comes to creating an effective training program, that’s also backed by science and truly Tailored to the individual…?

First, the principles of strength training. Then the proven methods that fall into place and help us leverage the principles for success. And finally, tweaking the entire plan to fit the lifestyle and experience level of the individual using the training plan.

And part 1 of this 2 part podcast series, that’s exactly what we give you!

#981: An Inside Look, At Tailored Coaching Method May 30, 2024

Show notes

The recent testimonial videos we’ve recorded, live in the gym with our clients, went so well and were so impactful! So… Naturally, I told Brandon (videographer) to aim the lens at me and ask away! We did this just to get a couple instagram clips originally, but it was long enough to make for a great short episode of the podcast and because of that, we’re going to share it with you here!

So tune in and listen to the CEO’s perspective behind the brand – why it was started, what “Tailored” truly means, and how what we’re doing is making a difference in the world today!
