Hey everyone, Vancouver Radio, episode number 336.

So today is Monday's quick and cheeky show,

where I am going to be talking about getting strong

and getting, well, becoming a bad ass really

Andy Mackenzie is going to help me with this little show I've sent him what I've had to say

and he's gonna add his opinion on the back end of it.

Why Andy Mackenzie, well he's currently my coach in my off season for rugby.

I've been working with him since kind of around November, December time.

I think I spoke about it at the time.

I wanted someone else to take my programming,

someone more advanced than myself,

and to take my body forward. And we've been working at a lot of cool stuff.

The programming is very much focused around getting the whole body strong,

getting kind of I would describe it as functional integrity

throughout the body.

I know Andy's been around my body for a while,

he's seen me move and he's probably well aware of my flaws in movement just

from having watched me a little bit so the programming becomes a lot easier because he does

do it remotely. Anyway the reason why I want to bring this topic up is because when we look at strength

training we are often very focused at lifting heavy things for not a lot of reps and while that is a component of

getting strong that is traditional strength training I want you to think about the whole body as a unit and how the body actually works.

Now there's a point in everyone's training journey and if you've been training quite a lot you will know this.
