  • Great, actionable advice for trainers.

    I heard about this podcast when he was interviewed on the NASM podcast with Rick Richey. I figured I would give it a try and was immediately hooked by the great advice he and his guests provide to trainers. I’ve listened to several in a row and have several actionable takeaways for my training sessions.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Unlocking Athletic Potential: Clif Harski's Training Secrets || Ep. 28
Q: What does training for longevity look like in regards to staying athletic as you age?
Training for longevity means personalizing plans to avoid irritating joints, prioritizing strength with safe variations, and gradually increasing exposure to challenging positions through eccentric and isometric work, while ensuring overall movement diversity and not forcing people to repeat damaging patterns.
Unlocking Athletic Potential: Clif Harski's Training Secrets || Ep. 28
Q: How would you describe your training style?
I measure success by how I feel on the basketball court and, more recently, by how athletic I can remain as I age. The core is 70% be able (fundamentals and loadable lifts) and 30% be athletic (coordinative, technical, and skill-based movement), with regular variation to prevent stagnation.
Unlocking Athletic Potential: Clif Harski's Training Secrets || Ep. 28
Q: And speaking of considering themselves to be athletes, Clif Harski, how you doing?
Doing well, and I'm excited to chat. I've spent years hopping between systems and certifications, which informs a practical, no-nonsense approach to training that emphasizes movement quality and consistency over chasing every latest trend.
Unlocking the Powerhouse: Pete Holman on Fitness Innovation || Ep. 27
Q: Where can listeners connect with you online?
The guest provided his social and website handles: Pete-Holman-1 on Instagram, Pete Holman on LinkedIn, and ph1performance.com as a central hub for products and updates.
Unlocking the Powerhouse: Pete Holman on Fitness Innovation || Ep. 27
Q: How do you balance cutting-edge performance with accessibility for the general population?
By focusing on fundamental movement patterns, progressive loading, and frictionless setup that fits into small gyms or home spaces, while promoting durability and longevity rather than chasing extreme, non-sustainable methods.
