  • Love!

    I admittedly found this pod because of Kelly Matthews, but I’m so glad I did! I love that Tim + guests care about science and do a great job of debunking trendy pseudoscience.

  • Thank you, Tim!

    I’m an S&C coach getting my Master’s in Education to break into the high school setting with 2 young kiddos & a former S&C coach/teacher husband who is now bed bound from a medication induced neurological injury. This podcast is one of the only things that can get me to still smile and laugh in the darkest season of my life. Humor was how my husband and I bonded & I really miss those moments. This podcast perfectly blends the best of the fitness/S&C industry & comedy. Thanks so much for all you’... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Biomechanical Research & Sprinting with DR. LANCE BROOKS | Ep. 134
Q: If you're going to give a prescription framework, what are the physical qualities and how frequently should athletes hit max velocity in a week?
Brooks emphasizes sprinting as a skill and says performance depends on mechanics and rapid force application, not simply weight-room strength benchmarks. He describes stiffness and elasticity as important qualities that sprint practice and supplementary plyometric work can develop.
Biomechanical Research & Sprinting with DR. LANCE BROOKS | Ep. 134
Q: How do you reconcile the idea that practice is ahead of research with the science and research that support what coaches do?
Brooks says coaches need not wait for a study on every specific training method if they understand foundational principles of movement and adaptation. Basic science provides a basis for sound decisions, while applied studies address more specific comparisons and questions.
How to Stop Overcomplicating Your Health & Fitness with NICK CONAWAY | Ep. 135
Q: My mom is almost 60 years old. Is it too late for her to start training? Is it even worth it?
No. Conaway says people can gain muscle at any age and recommends starting with basic push, pull, hinge and squat movements, scaled to the person's ability. He also emphasizes maintaining social connections.
How to Stop Overcomplicating Your Health & Fitness with NICK CONAWAY | Ep. 135
Q: What's the best way to get new clients in the door that's not word of mouth?
Conaway recommends speaking directly to the people a business aims to help, consistently sharing useful and authentic content, and clearly explaining the service.
The State of Collegiate Sports & Basketball S&C | Q&A w ZACK ZILLNER | Ep. 132
Q: Should online coaches have three years of in-person experience before coaching online?
Three years is minimal; coaches should have substantial real-world coaching experience before moving online, as hands-on work builds the skill and judgment needed to coach effectively.
