Summary
Dr. Jordan Shallow (@the_muscle_doc) is a chiropractor, strength coach, and a competitive powerlifter who champions getting movement right, from the outset. Jordan's patients range from world-class athletes to weekend warriors. Understanding the needs and demands of each individual is the cornerstone on which his clinical practice is built. When he's not working on his Pre-Script program, traveling the world teaching strength and movement seminars with Ben Pakulski, or hosting his own podcast RX'd Radio, he's competing in powerlifting.
Ashleigh sits down with fellow Canadian beefcake Dr. Jordan Shallow, a chiropractor, strength coach, founder of Pre-Script, and competitive power lifter to talk about his new programs; traveling the world teaching muscle building and training with Ben Pakulski; his recent injuries and how it effects his training; and why it's important to surround yourself with the right people.
Minute Breakdown:
2 - 16 What Jordan is up to, whether he gets more nervous presenting or competing, and what kind of impact he wants to have on the industry
16 –32 What exactly is his Pre-Script program? Progressions of mobility, stability and strength and understanding load management as a means of injury prevention
32 - 40 How he gets better at his job by having people poke holes in his theories, and why it's crucial to have the right people around you who will tell you the truth and offer constructive criticism
40 – 46 There's more to training than volume and intensity; talking about adaptation, stability, and learning, and his work with Ben Pakulski teaching Muscle Camp seminars around the world
46 – 55 A discussion of the best methods and channels for communicating your message; how to make social media work for you
55 – 60 The importance of "clarity in vision but flexibility in process" when setting and working towards goals
60 – 1:14:00 Jordan talks about his injuries and how he's training for an upcoming powerlifting competition, the difference between injury prevention and injury risk management and how travel to other countries like Lebanon and Israel helps him gain perspective

| 0:03.4 | Trug Collective. It's the Muscle Maven. You're listening to Muscle Maven Radio. |
| 0:06.9 | And today I am chatting with the Muscle Doc, |
| 0:09.8 | aka the beard, aka Jordan Chalo. He is a chiropractor. He's a strength coach. |
| 0:15.3 | He has his own podcast called Our X Radio and he's developed at this point a |
| 0:19.4 | number of programs to help us get stronger and move better, |

| 0:26.0 | large Canadian Ben Pekulski and they've been traveling all over the world. |
