This weeks episode is with Anders Varner (host of barbell shrugged). I wanted to have Anders on the show to basically highlight some of his favorite moments from the almost 100 podcasts that he’s recorded this year. Essentially creating a greatest hits list.    We spend about 15 minutes on one particular piece at a time so there’s really no down time for non-knowledge bombs. Everything is a highlight reel, which makes it super easy and fun to listen to the whole time. Enjoy!    ---------------------------------------------------------------- Show notes: http://www.shruggedcollective.com/rc-ep108 ---------------------------------------------------------------- ► Subscribe to Shrugged Collective's Channel Here http://bit.ly/BarbellShruggedSubscribe 📲 🎧 Listen to the audio version on the Apple Podcast App or Stitcher for Android Here- http://bit.ly/BarbellShruggedApple http://bit.ly/BarbellShruggedStitcher Shrugged Collective is a network of fitness, health and performance shows that help people achieve their physical and mental health goals.  Usually in the gym, but outside as well.

What’s the importance of squatting?   If you were to ask the Spartans, they would likely say it was essential to getting up off the toilet and that’s about it. Hundreds of years ago, humans didn’t need “organized exercise” and daily training was done by hunting your food or preparing for sport. Thanks to the luxury of grocery stores and modern convenience we now know that supplementing functional life patterns with training is essential for health and longevity.   So, what does this mean for the average gym goer? Well the truth is you’re likely over-training the squat.   In this episode we are talking to ActiveLife coaches Dr. Ray and Larry Gaier about how the squat is commonly overused. We discuss the psychological training patterns and influence of the ego, the misconception of how much strength is truly needed in order to produce power and the movements you should be training (not squatting), if you want to tap into your true potential.  Minutes: 3:45 – What is the purpose of squatting? 10:00 – Determine the end goal 21:20 – Weaker for what? 28:50 – Squatting for health 33:30 – Meeting clients where they’re at   Please Support our Sponsors Organifi - Save 20% at http://organifi.com/shrugged   Connect with us: Work with an Active Life Coach: http://activeliferx.com/shrugged Find Dr. Ray @raygormandpt  Find Larry  @larry_thehuman Find Dr. Sean @DrSeanPastuch   ---------------------------------------------------------------- Show notes: http://www.shruggedcollective.com/alr-ep23 ---------------------------------------------------------------- ► Subscribe to Shrugged Collective's Channel Here http://bit.ly/BarbellShruggedSubscribe 📲 🎧 Listen to the audio version on the Apple Podcast App or Stitcher for Android Here- http://bit.ly/BarbellShruggedApple http://bit.ly/BarbellShruggedStitcher Shrugged Collective is a network of fitness, health and performance shows that help people achieve their physical and mental health goals.  Usually in the gym, but outside as well.

I really wanted to talk about a topic that everybody wants to know more information about, but no one ever really talks about. Jordan, has absolutely no problem talking about it and did a phenomenal job hitting a lot of the key points that I wanted to hit in this podcast.
