Part 2 of Push Pull Legs Podcast Appearance

I apologize for my clear lack of writing this week, but you know…our little guy is primed to arrive at any moment.

Fret not! I got your back and am still prepared to provide some semblance of new content for you. Like a boss.

In case you missed it last week, you can check out Part I of my appearance on the Push Pull Legs Podcast HERE.

Part II was released yesterday. Here the guys (Tom Hall and Daniel Meek) and I discuss the business of personal training, whether or not to offer freebies or discounts, and Star Wars. Because, Star Wars.

All in all, that’s about 90 minutes of my smooth, silky voice. Or the equivalent of two Game of Thrones episodes. Totally worth it.

Appearance on the Push, Pull, Legs Podcast

It’s always a great feeling to be in demand. I’ve been very fortunate to get to a point in my career where people will seek me out to listen to me talk. 1

Just last night my wife and I sat down at our dinner table to hash out a trip to Europe this summer. I’ve had several places reach out and ask if we’d be interested in doing our Strong Body-Strong Mind workshop over there. You may be seeing the Gentilewis clan in Ireland, London, Denmark, and/or Warsaw. That’s pretty cool.2

Also, mine and Dean Somerset’s ongoing globe-trotting shoulders & hips bromance continues in Vancouver this coming April. Stay tuned for more dates in the future. I.e., here’s looking at you Orlando, FL.

More to the point is that I continuously get invited onto different podcasts each month. This is great as it allows me an opportunity to expand my brand, reach different audiences, and not wear pants.

Recently I was invited onto the Push, Pull, Legs Podcast.

Dan Meek and Tom Hall are two chaps I’ve had the pleasure of meeting in person (they’ve both attended workshops I’ve done in London) and are also two very accomplished coaches over in the UK.

Stuff to Check Out Before You Read Stuff

1.Push Pull Legs Podcast

My wife, Dr. Lisa Lewis made an appearance on the Push Pull Legs Podcast recently discussing the psychology behind lifting heavy things, getting women to strength train, and training during pregnancy. She’s a superstar!

Check it out HERE.

2. The 3-Week Beginner Workout Plan

I was asked to contribute to THIS recent article on MensHealth.com detailing a beginner 3-week workout plan outlined by stud trainer BJ Gaddour with myself taking the reigns on what to do after the initial three weeks.

3.  The Lifting Dead

I also had an article go up recently on BodyBuilding.com outlining the benefits of dead exercises. Namely, how the Dead Squat, Dead Bench, Dead Row, and Dead 1-Legged RDL can help you blast through sticking points.

You can check that out HERE.

5. I’m Coming to Vancouver

Dean Somerset and I just booked out first speaking gig together for 2017, and it’s in lovely Vancouver the weekend of April 1-2nd. We’ll be putting on our Complete Shoulder & Hip Blueprint workshop.

For all the deets you can go HERE.

5. COREssentials

And lastly, we’re getting prepped to launch our 6-week beginner course at CORE. Granted I’m biased but I feel this program is going to help a lot of people and help them get over the hump of being intimidated by strength training.

What will differentiate this program from others is that, in addition to the sick techno & house music the stellar coaching on teaching the basics, there will also be a nutrition and mindset component too. The idea is to meet up in 2x per week in a group training format with (optional) nutrition and mindset 60-90 minute breakouts every other weekend.

The course will start in a few weeks and there will only be 10 spots made available.1

And on that note lets get to this week’s list of Stuff to Read…

Is Your Upper Body Holding Your Back Squat – Andrew Millett

An often overlooked snafu with regards to one’s ability to back squat well is shoulder mobility; or lack thereof.

In this article Andrew offers some excellent drills to help you be less sucky in that area.

Basic Anatomy of Stretching the Quads – Dr. Ryan DeBell

Ryan helps to break down the (basic) anatomy of all the quadricep musculature and how to more effectively stretch them.

IASTM & Foam Rolling: Do They Work How You Thought? – Dr. Jarod Hall

This is an older article (but it’s new to me). It’s awesome.

HINT: foam rolling does not break up adhesions and scar tissue.
