  • Skol Sessions - Episode 20: Anthropometric Training Considerations
    Jun 14 2024

    Does it ever seem to you like some people are just built to deadlift, while you struggle with yours? That's because this is actually the case.

In this episode, Coach Erik and Coach Alex discuss their anthropometric differences and the resulting training considerations.

  • Skol Sessions - Episode 18: Talking Inflammation with Dr. Charles Cavo
    Dec 16 2023

    Inflammation is a popular buzzword these days. Certain foods are demonized as being "pro-inflammatory," while others are "anti-inflammatory." Furthermore, there are several people in the fitness and nutrition space selling diets and supplements as "anti-inflammatory." Inflammation in and of itself is not a bad thing. Short bouts of inflammation are important to help the body deal with stress. Acute inflammation in particular, is a part of the strength and muscle building process. So, in this month's episode, I'm joined by Dr. Charles Cavo of Pounds Weight Loss. We cover the differences between acute and chronic inflammation, how to test for inflammation, and some practical ideas on how to use nutrition as an intervention.
