Summary
Matt & Niki and your lifting and life questions.
Topics include coaching certifications oriented to coaching females, shoulder pain from presses & squats, adductor tears during squats, office strength groups, and power clean rack position.
0:00 Introduction & BLOC Party Overview
- Gained a bunch of weight during LP, having a USSF meet coming up: still want to hit big numbers, but want to lean down
- Performance doesn't have to suffer very much with small weight cut if done intelligently
- Top set with volumes can really be a nice combination of hitting enough volume and still hitting the intensity
- Lots of volume can help maintain muscle mass
- Drive up that top set as much as possible
- Do you need to get a certification for coaching females? No
- Need to improve your coaching, in general
- Need to relate to your clients
- Permission to coach mindset: more variation within group than between
- 5x3 works well for lots of people with a deficiency of upper body muscle mass
- play with squat grip: probably bring it in
- guess at what it is: proximal bicep tendinopathy
- if it persists, put squat at the end of the workout (as squat tends to make rest of workout worse)
- be very specific in where things hurt
- do more sets of lower reps with slower, perfect form
- lower the weight, slow down the lift
- keep pain below a 3 and look for it to reduce over time
- incline dumbbell press?
- work to get the intensity back up
- can also play around with frequency
- Where is the pain presenting itself? (middle or end of muscle)
- Is it at the tendon or in the muscle belly
- Did you bruise?
- Play with stance angle and ensure form is on point
- Start a strength training for running & cycling groups, but it's really just strength
- Help coach 1/3 sessions they lift
- Cycling Power Development
- wrist mobility or strength?
- have to think about strength & mobility and what they really are, first
- Matt: Lonesome Dove, The Hard Thing About Hard Things, Measure What Matters, The Bible
- Andrew: Endurance, Man's Search For Meaning
- Niki: Deep Work, Sparking Joy, Into Thin Air, Bone Clocks

| 0:00.0 | Hey listeners, this is normally when we would talk about a holiday sale or how |
| 0:07.4 | now is the right time to start with online coaching because of how much money |
| 0:10.5 | you can save. However, as I met with our marketing team earlier this month to |
| 0:14.8 | discuss promotional ideas, we found ourselves focusing on the ideal outcomes |
| 0:19.3 | for people who want to work with a coach and that called to mind how many of |
| 0:23.1 | our clients got into this for the form corrections and ended up making real |
| 0:27.8 | life transformations through strength training. We realized that the ideal |
| 0:31.9 | barbell logic client is not afraid of hard work. They don't just have goals, they |
| 0:36.5 | are driven by continual self-improvement. They pursue strength because they |
| 0:40.7 | care deeply about the people who they love who depend on them. We know that |
| 0:45.6 | price is always a consideration when it comes to deciding to sign up for |
| 0:48.9 | something. But our successful clients tell us that in addition to carefully |
| 0:53.0 | deciding where to invest their money, they're also very intentional about how they |
| 0:57.3 | invest their time. And when you care about your time that much, there is fear that |
| 1:01.8 | you could waste your time and not see the results you want. If any of this sounds |
| 1:05.9 | like you, I'm here to make you a promise. You give us six months of two to four |
| 1:10.8 | workouts a week and if you don't see changes in your strength or form, we will |
| 1:14.9 | give you all of your money back. That's all six months. The worst case scenario is |
| 1:20.2 | it ends up costing you nothing. The best case scenario is you invest in yourself |
| 1:24.7 | and you get exactly what you want out of your training. The only risk is about |
| 1:28.7 | on yourself. It's time to place that bet and put your money where your goals are. |
