EP 208: Why Switching Exercises Often Works, Kettlebell Training, & Standing Out Online w/ Adriell Mayes

Great to have my brother @everygotdamndre back on the show while visiting Seattle for our Built To Last Gym mastermind as we dove into the most effective training methods, why he trains the way he trains and programs the way he programs, the reason he often turns down big brand deals, what he believes in when it comes to lifestyle and nutrition, as well as how to stand out online. 

IN THIS EPISODE YOU’LL LEARN:

=> What’s the philosophy behind Dre’s own training and mixing up kettlebells, barbells, machines or any other implements.

=> How does Dre break down his training week and days. His unique approach to changing up exercises and exploring movements. 

=> How to address boredom when coaching clients so they keep coming back. 

=> The 60/40 split of programmed vs. exploring and how I use it in the system. 

=> Why not completing the outlined workout is ok as it drives the challenge to complete it (this is why at first most people can’t complete Dre’s workouts, but they get fired up to eventually complete them).

=> Implementing weak links into training so you don’t have to work them separately. 

=> Why Dre brings his heart rate to a max by the end of his warm up. 

=> How Dre approaches training different abilities (power, strength, cardio, mobility) throughout the year but always stay ready in every single one of them.

=> What majority of people are actually looking for when they are joining a training program. 

=> Why Dre doesn’t talk about nutrition much when people start a training program and what happens next. 

=> What to do when you have lighter kettlebells and how Dre approaches challenging the body for most people working out from home. 

=> Dre’s philosophy when it comes to nutrition and lifestyle and how to simply implement it into your lifestyle.

=> Why Dre has turned down some very big brand deals even though he uses them (this will shock you!).

=> The approach to creating content when you get started vs when you’re established. 

=> The power of making “better work” rather than just more than isn’t good.
