Hey guys, welcome to episode number 291 of the Industrial Strength Show.

We got a good one for you guys today, as I am joined by my partner in crime, Jim Smitty Smith returns to the Industrial Strength Show and does not disappoint as per usual.

We actually just hung up from our conversation and I was looking at some

notes that I took while we were talking and just thinking to myself it really is amazing that we've

each been training for over 35 years now we've been in the industry for about 25 years each and we've known each

each for over 12 years, you know, collaborated on a bunch of different projects we have a certification

that that we've created together yet anytime I sit down and talk

training with Smitty I come away from that conversation having learned something new. Like even to this day

we've been talking training for over 12 years and yet still have a conversation and I have pages of notes and new things that I learned new things that I learned new things that I'm excited to try out. It just, it's, it's always a great time

when we sit down and talk training. So I think you guys are going to love this episode. It's pretty much

divided into two main topics. The first 40 minutes, 45 minutes we talk about why all reps were not created equal and

lots of takeaways during that conversation. I think it's going to really help a lot of you get out of that

three sets of ten rut which a lot of us are in and like I said we kind of branched off in a couple different directions but the main topic being why all reps were not created equal.

I think you guys are going to really enjoy that part of the

podcast and then the second part last 25 or so minutes I read a question from a listener who asked us he's younger than us and now that

we've been in the industry for over 25 years each. He was asking how did we navigate through all the different

information and the different training philosophies and the good information the bad information like how do you sift through

all that stuff early in your career and then eventually come up with what now is our current system of training, our CPPS system of training.

And we get into that.

I think that will be extremely helpful,

not only for the personal trainers and coaches listening,

but I think it's important,
