Highlights from this Episode

Frank breaks down his background in sports, the fitness world and how he went from cleaning towels and benches at an empty Golds Gym in the late 90’s to running one of the most successful training clubs in the world, Frank Nash Training Systems.
Frank Breaks down his 5 Pillars of Success.
He believes these are the key to getting better not just for golf and fitness, but stick to these and life is good!

Attitude: If you don’t have the right attitude, all is lost. You can change your attitude at any given moment. You can either go through life pissed and miserable, or you can appreciate what you have and be excited to work hard toward your goals. You decide.
Nutrition: Sounds pretty basic right? It is. Most people just don’t put enough faith and effort into it. Most people don’t know what real food is! Getting your nutrition on point affects every part of your body and brain. Don’t overlook the importance of it.
Exercise: Again, pretty basic, but as Frank put it to me off the air, “Jeff, eventually people gotta just lift some heavy sh**!” No matter what, you gotta move. Even if you don’t have the picture perfect, expertly designed program, you gotta get off your butt and move to keep your body happy, energized and resistant to breakdown.
Supplementation: No matter how great we think we are with our diet (see above, most of us are not) we simply can’t get everything that is optimal for our nutrition with the food we eat. Having a decent supplementation program in place will fill the gaps. Franks suggestion is that most people should use a multivitamin, a fish oil, and some sort of protein shake in order to up their protein levels to about 1g per pound of lean muscle mass. [Eg. if your lean muscle mass (your bodyweight minus fat) is 160lbs., you should get 160g of lean protein in each day).
Accountability/Coaching: This one is a game changer. This is the one that kicks your butt in gear and gets you to your goals faster. Whether it’s a fitness coach, a workout partner, or whatever, the best in the world (at anything) all have coaches to keep them at the top of their game.

Frank explains what he has his in season recreational golfers doing at the gym and at home.
He talks about some of his favorite people in the industry and who he looked up to getting into this business.
