Summary
Killian Hamilton joins me on today's episode about skill acquisition in programming.
If you've ever done any of my programs, you'll know that my clients always go through a primer phase to learn the skills of muscle activation and exercise execution. So I'm excited to hear him and the team at Pre-Script talk about this often neglected but certainly essential aspect to achieving competency in the weight room.
Killian is the Director of Innovation and Program Design at Pre-Script as well as Head Coach and Founder of K2 Coaching.
As a competitive powerlifter and strength coach, Killian has competed and coached athletes at both national and international level. He believes that at its core, strength is a skill, and acquiring that skill is paramount in the pursuit of performance.

| 0:00.0 | Hey everybody, Ben Bikolski, recording another amazing episode of the Muslim |
| 0:16.0 | Intelligence Podcast for you. |
| 0:17.4 | Thank you so much for being here. |
| 0:18.5 | Today I sit down with a great friend of mine, |
| 0:21.6 | Killian Hamilton. Killian is a new friend and someone you're going to want to pay attention to now |
| 0:26.9 | and in the future. This guy's mind is an absolute gift to humanity. His ability to think on a deep |
| 0:32.3 | level is second to very few people. And we had first a brilliant conversation here in my facility. |
| 0:40.8 | And then we sat down today remotely and talked about programming and skill acquisition. |
| 0:47.0 | Now, why do you care about that? |
| 0:48.4 | Skill acquisition is, in my eyes, the missing link in having you feel empowered when you go into the gym, |

| 1:11.6 | shouting from the mountain tops for the last 10 years, but there's never been anyone who sat down |
| 1:17.0 | and actually created a quantified course. And Killion has done that. And I invited him on today to talk |
| 1:22.7 | about what he's learned in creating this course, and ultimately how to help you and me and all |
| 1:26.9 | of our clients acquire |
| 1:29.3 | a skill, whether that be in the gym or outside the gym, there's still a very particular process |
