Last week, we talked about considerations for getting started in strength training. This week, we're diving into how to find the right program for you. There are a lot of strength programs out there - from classics like Stronglifts and 531, to the hundreds you might see marketed on your Instagram feed. But does good marketing mean a good program? We're here to break it down for you. In this episode, we cover: > options for different financial levels > how to recognize good programming > how long you should plan to stick to a program for to see results > working out what kind of support you like and how to make sure you get it > what you should expect from a coach, and what a coach will expect from you Our pre-topic preamble lasts until 20 minutes in, so if you're just here for the goods, feel free to skip to 20 minutes and hear all about strength programs.
