Episode 220 - Trainers Need Trainers Too Oct 21, 2022

Show notes

Craig Hoffman and Chris Gorres discuss why trainers need trainers too. The guys talk about bias, how to avoid it, and what a fresh set of eyes can bring to a problem solving approach towards training.
Plus, they talk about how knowledge and information is passed down from "generation to generation" of trainer, often without the recipient even knowing where the original thought came from.

Episode 218 - Be Where You Are feat. Logan Paulsen Sep 28, 2022

Show notes

Craig Hoffman and Chris Gorres are joined by their good friend, former NFL Tight End, and current personal trainer Logan Paulsen to discuss coaching to individual clients at a wide variety of levels. Logan picks the guys' brains about how to meet athletes -- both in sport and general population -- where they are as he continues to adjust to post-NFL life. They talk about the challenge of scaling up and down, especially when a coach's reference point is at a level like Logan's is coming out of professional sports. They also talk about scaling workouts as an athlete as your own level adjusts, like Chris is doing as he nears his 40th birthday.

Episode 211 - Balancing The Fitness Equation Jul 11, 2022

Show notes

Craig Hoffman and Chris Gorres talk about load management from the professional athlete to the corporate athlete, and how changes outside a workout can affect what's best for any athlete.
The idea originated on Craig's Take Command Podcast with Logan Paulsen talking about Logan's changes he made (or didn't) as a player in the NFL. Craig and Chris expand the idea of balancing "practice, conditioning, and gameday" for other athletes, including runners. Plus, they talk about how stress outside of fitness can and should influence programming and load management.
