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
