Welcome to the Boom Boom Performance podcast, your resource for science-based training and

nutrition, data-driven coaching, and education-focused content. Before we get into this podcast,

I just want to say thank you for taking the time to listen and learn with me so that you can

apply what you are about to learn, take my strategies, use these tools, and finally have some

serious methods to see sustainable success with your physique, your mind, and your life.

This podcast was built on the foundation of applied education, and I'm excited for you to be here so you

can have that experience with me. Now without any further ado, let's get on to the show.

Today I'm going to give you 17 programming principles that come before volume and intensity, or at least they should.

These are things that I look at before I dive into volume and intensity when programming

for a client. So, you know, over the last five to ten years, I'd say, a lot of training

research has happened and been published. It's actually been really cool.

And in fact, sometimes it pulls me closer to the training realm than the nutrition realm,

to be honest with you, because I think that there's so much more to explore inside a training.

It doesn't make training more valuable or more important. As we know,

they're pretty equal. You know, I think that, uh, there's this, like, there's people that

always talk about, you know, like, oh, it's 80% diet, 20% training. I disagree with that completely,

especially because you can eat really, really well or eating at deficit or whatever and you're not

going to burn a ton of calories.

You're not going to build any muscle because you need a stimulus to do those things.

So I disagree with that.

But I also disagree with anybody who says 80% of it is training because the diet plays such a massive role.

And that's the part that allows us to improve the third realm more than anything, which is recovery.
