Episode 5: Cardio and Influencers, Not at the Same Time

Episode 8: Mesocycles, Programming Philosophies, and Training Motivation

Welcome to the first episode of Summoning Strength! As we note, we're going through a rebrand. In this episode, we talk a bit on the idea behind training 'mesocycles' - or 'blocks' as I often refer to them - and how they're utilized in our programming to create a year-round training methodology centered on total athleticism. We also discuss training motivation, how that has shifted for the two of us from being teenagers to being parents in their thirties, and what keeps us going at this point. Enjoy!

Episode 7: Client Mistakes, Stranger Mistakes, and Our Training Mistakes.

Hello All, In this episode we talk about some of the mistakes we see people at our gym making, mistakes we see people making at other gyms, and mistakes we keep making. These provide jumping off points for a wide variety of conversations about lifting nomenclature, CrossFit, and strongman to name a few. This will be the LAST 40-minute episode. From now on we will be getting back to our weekly release schedule with 20-minute episodes that are a more centered around a singular topic. Thanks for tuning in!

Episode 6: Beginner vs Intermediate, PED's, and Recovery.

Hello everyone, it has been a bit of a break since the last episode and ironically, we commend ourselves on our consistency right at the beginning of this episode. This is a bit of an old recording from right before deload, but it still has a bunch of useful gems in it, and I really enjoyed the conversation. Thank you for continuing to tune in and listen to these. It means a lot. Until next time!! P.S. there may be some format changes coming soon so keep an eye out.

Episode 5: Cardio and Influencers, Not at the Same Time

Hello all, welcome to episode 5 of the Badger Den Strength Cast. In this episode we discuss cardio and how it fits into the larger puzzle that is training and exercise. There may or may not also be a long tangent about influencer culture in fitness. Thank you for sticking with us for this first grouping of episodes as we still try to figure this whole thing out. Enjoy!
