Mac and Cheese, Golf, and Stan Lee

As you’ve gotten older, have you felt your body getting tighter?

Have you lost some of that athleticism you had in your youth?

Or do you just want to get back into moving and feeling great?

If so, you’re going to LOVE today’s episode with Neal Valera and Dennis Dunphy.

Neal is a former collegiate golfer, avid rock climber, and strength coach.

Dennis is a hockey and sports nut, culinary enthusiast, and shares my love and affection for everything Marvel.

And together they created Stick Mobility to help people just like us recapture their mobility, athleticism and performance.

When people use isometrics, I tell people they’re not sexy – they’re just effective. – Dennis Dunphy

This Week on the Physical Prep Podcast:

• Dennis and Neal’s background, and how they got into physical preparation
• The origin of Stick Mobility, and what they were using before they created their own product.
• What it’s like to develop a product, bring it to market, and then actually be successful selling it!
• Where does dedicated “mobility training” fit into a program that’s already packed with exercises?
• The “Big Rocks” training principles that Dennis and Neal use to improve mobility and strength.
• How manipulating levers and leverages can crank up the intensity in your workouts.
• Emphasizing all areas of a muscle action – from eccentric, to isometric, to concentric – can skyrocket your performance and strength.
• Irradiation: What it is, and why you need to use it in your workouts.
• How you can use the principles behind the Stick Mobility system whether you’re using their products or not.
• And last but not least a really fun lightning round where we talk about Dennis’ culinary enthusiasm, how Neal’s golf game is going these days, and a few minutes of nerding out on everything Marvel.
