What's up, Achievers?! Really good episode for you all today that was completely uninterrupted by our little guy! In the first topic, we delve into some recent research about the best frequency to maximize muscle growth as well as our thoughts on research in general (5:06) Next, we talk about some concepts like grease the groove, training to failure, and total volume for how to increase the number of push ups and pull ups you can do (11:54). Finally, we discuss whether or not we think doing deadlifts is safe for your back (17:05). We hope you enjoyed this episode!

What's up, Achievers?! Super fun episode for you all today - thanks for all of your questions!! In the first one, we discuss a question from a powerlifter mother of three who also happens to have diastasis recti. We recommend what diastasis is, what she should do to strengthen her core, while also modifying her training both physically and mentally (3:30)! We also cover proper hand care during "crossfit" type movements like kipping pull ups, toes to bars, muscle ups, etc. We discuss hand care for after the fact as well as potential preventative strategies (12:42). Lastly, we discuss our training strategies for an aspiring model! Our advice happens to go in the complete opposite direction of where we usually go with our answers (20:45) so you might find this one interesting! We hope you enjoyed this episode!

What's up, Achievers?! We've got a great episode lined up for you today! The first topic is about how to overcome weight room intimidation. A lot of people are now understanding that strength training and lifting weights are really beneficial, but intimidation and fear of judgement are what holds them back from actually committing to hitting the gym. We discuss some strategies to help you out! We also take cover how to create your own workout program. While we could talk for a week straight on all things programming, this will give you a great starting point. Lastly, we discuss what you should charge, if anything, when you're first starting out as a new personal trainer or fitness coach. We also announce a new workshop we're holding called Fit101! This will be an in-house workshop where we take a deep dive into what we teach to our members at Achieve, and give you all the tools you need to succeed on your fitness journey. We're super excited for this because we will be running it with our whole team of coaches, and it will be the first official workshop of our own that we've put on as a gym. It's sure to be a special experience so don't miss out! We'll be posting it soon so keep a look out! Until next time, Peace, Love, and Muscles! ...
