As soon as I read one article by Dr. John Rusin I knew I had to have him on the podcast. He just gets it. And our training philosophies couldn’t be any more aligned.
I found myself nodding my head and saying, “Yes, yes, YES!” as I read each sentence.
It’s easy to tell someone to just do some big compound movements and go heavy. That doesn’t take a genius.
But if you want to avoid injuries and maximize your performance over the long term there is so much more to it. You’ve gotta pay strict attention to the preparation phase. And the sequencing of the entire training session is key.
If you follow most of the normal advice out there you’ll most likely get hurt at one point or another. But Dr. John Rusin joins me on the podcast today to change all that.
Topics covered include:
Why most pre-workout warm ups suck
How to actually foam roll properly
What commonly used warm ups make you worse
The 3 issues you need to address for optimal performance
How to prevent or fix lower back pain
The perfect ratio for shoulder health
What you have to do before big, compound lifts
The 6 phases of the ultimate workout
How to fire up your nervous system properly
Are machines good or bad
What’s the optimal training frequency
The big misconception about body part splits
How to train the rotator cuff properly
Why you need to strengthen your feet and ankles
How to train glutes properly for the jean-filling look you want
The problem with chin ups
And so much more
