STRONG Life Podcast Ep. 221
In this episode I discuss my stance on having NO time for the BS Fads & Gimmicks in Strength & Conditioning along with being in the "business" of Changing Lives as a Strength Coach.
I get a little emotional in this episode but I decided to just leave it, no editing, raw and uncut.
Ever since I began my full time journey (aka obsession) into the field of Strength & Conditioning there have been fads, gimmicks and buzz words.
In the early 2000s it was "functional training" and if you weren't standing on a wobble board or training on 1 leg, then you were NOT functional training.
The buzz word since then has been "Core Training" and that buzz word has never left. Of course people are still confused when they say "core training". It means 100 things to them......
Now we have "The Kinetic Chain".
People throw these phrases around when really, we can break it down and say, Either you're strong or you're weak. Full body exercises or not. I don't need to dupe you with BS buzz words.
I prefer to impress people with RESULTS.
REAL recognize REAL.
Get after it and enjoy.

Thank you for sharing, my brother!
reflecting on my last 67 yrs on this earth and all the time spent training in one fashion or another..i guess i fell victim to ‘fads’ and have sorta stuck with ones i picked up on in my youth. my judo coaches and pro wrestling ‘lucha libre’ guy all believed in bodyweight and partner carries and resistance,while high school football strength training was reserved for the ‘fad’ of power rack isometrics,bodyweight exercises, rope climbing and sprinting..i even fell for the ‘ab wheel’ apparatus and still use one in addition to another market pushed product.. the kettlebell!…..point being that all these activities or modalities were considered ‘out of the pocket’ methods of training in gyms and to the general public. people still look at me weird as i swing,carry a kettlebell around the block breaking it up with bodyweight stuff and maybe an iso hold tossed in! some times ‘fad stuff’ is just another name for hard grinding work that ‘pink weight’ folks shy away from…………………….keep spreading the gospel zack! some are listening!
Richard, Judo Coaches are ahead of the curve, YES, they learned the power of calisthenics!
Today I did just that, Kettlebells and Calisthenics!
The ab wheel is perfect!
