Do you need to get a certification for coaching females? No Need to improve your coaching, in general Need to relate to your clients Permission to coach mindset: more variation within group than between 5x3 works well for lots of people with a deficiency of upper body muscle mass 23:32 Shoulder Pain play with squat grip: probably bring it in guess at what it is: proximal bicep tendinopathy if it persists, put squat at the end of the workout (as squat tends to make rest of workout worse) be very specific in where things hurt do more sets of lower reps with slower, perfect form lower the weight, slow down the lift keep pain below a 3 and look for it to reduce over time incline dumbbell press? work to get the intensity back up can also play around with frequency 30:14 Adductor Pain during Squats Where is the pain presenting itself? (middle or end of muscle) Is it at the tendon or in the muscle belly Did you bruise? Play with stance angle and ensure form is on point 35:25 Strength Office Activities Start a strength training for running & cycling groups, but it's really just strength Help coach 1/3 sessions they lift Cycling Power Development 38:27 Power Clean Rack Position wrist mobility or strength? have to think about strength & mobility and what they really are, first 43:00 Most Impactful Non-Strength Books Matt: Lonesome Dove, The Hard Thing About Hard Things, Measure What Matters, The Bible Andrew: Endurance, Man's Search For Meaning Niki: Deep Work, Sparking Joy, Into Thin Air, Bone Clocks GET STARTED with one-on-one online coaching FOR FREE!
