  #588 The Strength Training Retirement Plan (Plus Q&A)

  Sep 3, 202654 min

  This week, Joe explains why strength training should be viewed as a "retirement plan for your body" and breaks down the "Strength Training Snowball Effect" — eight positive adaptations that build upon each other to help you become stronger, healthier, leaner, and more capable as you age. He also reveals one of the most overlooked tools in the average person's training — long-duration isometric holds — and explains their unique benefits for strength, hypertrophy, identifying weaknesses/imbalances, joint health, and recovery. Finally, Joe discusses why exercises like band pull-aparts, face pulls, Y-Handcuffs, and scap push-ups still have an important place in a well-designed program — even if they don't score high on the "loadability" scale. He explains why every exercise does NOT need to be heavy or progressively overloaded, and why the best programs include the right mix of high, moderate, and low-intensity movements. All this plus more in another information-packed episode of the Industrial Strength Show!

  #587 Has Full Range of Motion Training Gone TOO FAR?

  Aug 27, 202655 min

  Has full range of motion training gone too far? This week, Joe questions whether the fitness industry pendulum has swung too far — from half reps and poor mobility to forcing extreme ranges of motion that we don't actually have the strength or control to own. He explains the difference between accessing a position and actually owning it, why more range of motion isn't always better, and how to safely expand your ROM without sacrificing joint health and longevity. Joe also covers two other training topics: 1) How long should you rest between sprints when training for speed? 2) The subtle technique adjustment that will instantly make your chest-supported rows more effective! *For a full list of Show Notes w/ Timestamps visit www.IndustrialStrengthShow.com .

  #586 The Fitness Industry's Biggest Coaching Scam

  Aug 20, 202642 min

  In this episode, Joe exposes what he considers one of the fitness industry's biggest coaching scams: influencers who train a celebrity or pro athlete ONE TIME, film the workout, snap a picture — and then portray themselves as their "coach." Joe explains why "putting someone through a workout" and actually COACHING them are two completely different things. From long-term programming and problem-solving to managing injuries, plateaus, recovery, and real-world setbacks, you'll learn what separates an experienced coach from a great content creator. If you've ever purchased an online program — or hired a coach based on their social media following — this is an episode you'll want to hear! *For a full list of Show Notes + Timestamps visit www.IndustrialStrengthShow.com .
