Episode notes

Overview:

Todays episode kicks off with a rapid fire thought experiment of kettlebell training vs dumbbell training.

Then Smitty and OB work through one of OB’s real assessments and discuss what some of his issues are and how they would correct them.

This segues into Smitty’s recent online discussion on a better way to do push ups to minimize injury risk and maximize the benefits.

We wrap the training discussion by settling the debate on if you should eliminate all box squats from your programming as many in the industry have stated recently.

One piece of advice you often hear is “drink a lot of water to stay hydrated.” Today we aim to both define how much is a lot of water, how much is too much, and is drinking more water better?
