Episode 36!

Excited today to be joined by Dr. Lee Bell from Sheffield Hallam University in the UK. Dr. Bell has worked with many names listeners will recognize on the podcast from Doctors, PAK, James Fisher, James Steele, Milo Wolf and others.

Originally my thought for this episode was to discuss overtraining and deloading with Dr. Bell... which we did. But along the way we branched into a variety of other interesting topics, such as creating working scientific definitions within exercise, and personal auto-regulation for lifting. I think you'll find this episode is for you if you're serious about lifting and serious about understanding scientific exercise literature and the concepts within.

Dr. Bell is very upfront that exercise science is a branch of research that is lacking in many ways, but also has so much to share and give to the community. This was one of my favorite discussions I've had in a while, even though it didn't take the path I originally foresaw. I know you will enjoy it as well!

Episode 34!

Thrilled to have my friend and fitness colleague David "Cookie" Cook on the show this week.

Dave owns "Cookie Cuts" Fitness in Nashville, TN. He's one of the most soft after personal trainers in the area. Aside from having a thriving coaching business, Dave is one of the most authentic people I've ever met. He's extremely open with his story of recovery and fitness struggles and how he's continued to battle these while managing to hold onto a growing business through it all.

In this episode we talk about how Dave got involved in fitness in the first place. What made him decide to start "Cookie Cuts" and how he's built his business over the better part of the last decade. Through COVID shutdowns, his equipment and gym burning to the ground, and his own struggles with recovery, Dave's story is one of resilience and grit.

He, like many business owners, learns while doing. He shares how he's continued to refine his process over the years, and finally broke down and hired a fitness business coach himself. With a newfound determination and a bustling action plan Dave is ready to take "Cookie Cuts" to the next level. I think every listener will find this story incredibly relatable and motivating. If you're interested in learning more, visit his website (HERE) or give him a follow on IG (HERE) for some of the best no nonsense fitness advice in the business!
