  • Needs some polish

    Love the interview but good Lord Dave needs to get his septum fixed or something because he sniffles every 5 seconds during a 3 hour interview and it's so distracting. Also the ad placement is completely unhinged, just hire and pay a producer to smooth things out and you got a great podcast.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

#452 Why I Pulled for 2nd on a Torn Hamstring | Jared Martin
Q: How did you make the decision to compete at the World Games after your wife passed away?
Martin says he and his wife had discussed his World Games goals and plans to start a family after he reached the podium. He decided to continue competing because withdrawing would not have felt true to those shared hopes, and he wanted the performance to help keep her memory alive.
#452 Why I Pulled for 2nd on a Torn Hamstring | Jared Martin
Q: What's the story behind squatting 1,000 pounds for two in training?
Martin says the double followed his transition into single-ply equipment after hip problems. With Jeremy Hartman's encouragement and several spotters present, he worked up to 455 kilograms and completed two reps, although he had mentally prepared to do an extra rep.
#453 The Post-Diet Mistake That Almost Put Me in the Hospital | Jon Heck
Q: How do you approach turning large strength athletes into better carbohydrate-processing machines?
Heck starts by reviewing food journals and current intake, then redistributes macros toward more carbohydrates and less fat. He gradually increases food as athletes adapt, aiming to improve training capacity and body composition without excessive fat gain.
#453 The Post-Diet Mistake That Almost Put Me in the Hospital | Jon Heck
Q: Why did you stay in football strength and conditioning instead of moving into your own business?
Heck wanted to coach athletes, run his own program and see what he could accomplish in the NFL after investing years in the field. The NFL opportunity proved disappointing because strength coaches had limited training access and faced liability concerns and organizational constraints.
#451 "Top-Line Revenue Is A Lie" — The Real Profit Breakdown For Gyms | Andy McCloy
Q: I'm going to assume the other reason why they're pulled out is because you're chasing the adaptation instead of the actual movement. How long did it take you through your geeking out on programming to come to that actual conclusion?
McCloy says he recognized fairly early that coaches are pursuing adaptations, not specific movements. Jumps and throws can address athletic development needs without relying on Olympic lifts, and he avoids repeating lifts athletes already do at school.
