Barbell Shrugged

With a competitive gymnastics background, Kari Pearce began training at New York Health and Racquet club where she met a powerlifting coach and did her first competition. While she was preparing for my competition, the owner of CrossFit SPOT contacted her about coaching CrossFit because he knew of her gymnastics and training background. Kari knew this would be the perfect opportunity for her to start.   After winning the powerlifting competition, Pearce decided it was time to change direction. The other sports were great but she loved that there are so many different movements and always something to work on with CrossFit. Once Pearce started, she realized her background was perfect and she began to excel quickly.   Six months after beginning CrossFit training, Pearce found herself competing at the EastRegional. In her first year she was able to qualify for the CrossFit Games and finish 21st placein the world. After this, Pearce knew she had found her sport and loves everyday of it!   In this episode of Barbell Shrugged, Anders Varner, Doug Larson, and Kenny Santucci discuss what it takes to win the CrossFit Games, how Kari Pearce used her gymnastics background to excel at CrossFit and what CrossFit athletes are missing when it comes to core training. Kari Pearce is coming off winning 3 CrossFit Open workouts and is on her way to the CrossFit Games for the fourth time. The guys discuss her training, preparation, and the lifestyle of a CrossFit Games athlete.   Minute Breakdown: 0-10 - Winning CrossFit Open Workouts 11-20 - Governing Body For CrossFit Sanctionals 21-30 - Starting CrossFit in New York City 31-40 - CrossFit athletes being great at gymnastics 41-50 - Athlete and Coach Relationship for Games Athletes 51-60 - Eliminating the demands of life for focus 61 -70 - Open Ocean Swimming 71 -80 - How Do You Beat Tia Claire Toomey 81 -90 - Gymnastics for Average CrossFitters 91-100 - Power Ab Training 101 - 110 - Taking 5th at The CrossFit Games with.

This week Ashleigh talks with Dr. Emily Kiberd, a chiropractic physician and founder of the Urban Wellness Clinic in New York City, about what a strength-focused, holistic chiropractor actually does and does not do; what is hypermobility, why it can be problematic for stability and athletic performance, and how to address it; and how strength training can improve mobility and stability, and (surprisingly) address issues like autoimmune disease, a complex and varied health challenge that disproportionally effects women.   Dr. Kiberd is a chiropractic physician and founder of the Urban Wellness Clinic in New York City; the clinic’s mission is to optimize every patient’s health, so they live—sprint, lift, race, or stand—without pain. Dr. Kiberd earned her Doctor of Chiropractic degree from the University of Western States, in Portland, Oregon. She is a 200-hour-certified yoga instructor, and develops wellness programs for corporate clients, including Fortress Investment Group, Corbin Capital, Sundance Channel, and Fortune 500 companies. Dr. Kiberd also helps yoga instructors deepen their understanding of anatomy and biomechanics through in-depth workshops. Her expertise spans several therapeutic fields: biomechanics, yoga, and functional movement patterns.     Minute Breakdown:   3 - 18 Introduction to chiropractic physician Dr. Emily Kiberd and what she offers at her Manhattan-based Urban Wellness Clinic; why clamshells aren’t always the answer with PT and hip mobility; addressing the myth that chiropractors only deal with the spine; and when is chiropractic medicineis NOT the answer    18 – 25 What does it mean to have hypermobility, and why is it a problem? How do you address and manage hypermobility?     26 – Dr. Kiberd dives deep into the challenge of autoimmune issues and symptoms, gut health, and how her clinic can address these challenges. She discusses her own struggles with autoimmune disorder, and talks about her Thyroid Strong program to manage thyroid health through lifestyle factors and strength training.   40 – 43 How breath work and posture work can assist with mobility, strength, and movement      43 – 1:03 Why many women (and men) should do less cardio and more strength work; why perfecting strength basics is crucial; and how physical strength carries over into other areas of your life by building mental resiliency     1:03 – Dr Kiberd talks about working with pregnant women, and the importance of mobility and strength training in preparing for the physical exertion of birth. She talks about her own experience with home birth, why she changed her mind about her birth plan after touring a hospital, how she’s approaching her upcoming second home birth   1: 24 – A quick chat about Acupuncture: when it’s good, how and why it works    ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Show notes: http://www.shruggedcollective.com/mmr-kiberd ---------------------------------------------------------------------- @Hylete- Hylete.com - RC15 for 15%   ► 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.

Garrett is the founder of NeuFit in Austin, Texas. But that didn't happen overnight.    Growing up as a hockey player, he struggled with his own injuries and lack of natural athleticism. These experiences inspired him to do thousands of hours of research and try almost everything that's out there.    During that process, he met disappointment after disappointment, and became extremely frustrated.   In parallel, he ended up studying to become an Engineer. Seeing nothing but dead ends in the physical therapy realm, Engineering was going to be his "day job" and allow him to build real solutions to problems.   Fortunately, in his last year of college ice hockey (he ended up making some progress and become a practice-squad player), he had a chance encounter with a Functional Neurologist. The new approach he encountered ended up being a big "Eureka!" moment, and he healed torn ligaments on their own - without surgery!   He finally learned about the power of the Nervous System, and found a way to turn his passion for the human body into a way to make a difference in people's lives.      After some formal apprenticeship and more self-study, he opened his first facility in 2009. It was a very humble beginning: just Garrett and some equipment in 250 square feet.     He continued to evolve, studying with various mentors, performing lots of experimentation, and even entering a Ph.D. program in Neuroscience. Fortunately, his work had a big impact in people's lives and started to catch on in the community.      Now, the business has grown to one of the premier fitness and rehabilitation facilities in the country. On any given day, you will likely see some professional and Olympic athletes, along with executives and homemakers, all working to improve their health and fitness. In addition, dozens of other facilities around the country have adopted the NeuFit technology and approach.      During that time, Garrett also patented and launched a new electrical stimulation device, the NEUBIE. It is a very powerful tool that allows NeuFit practitioners to accelerate their clients progress in fitness and injury recovery. The NEUBIE has now helped people of all ages and in almost all situations, helping them get out of pain, improve performance, sometimes avoid surgeries and get out of wheelchairs, and live life at a higher level.       He maintains a limited practice schedule in Austin, and spends more time teaching other practitioners and presenting his work around the country. Garrett breaks down the benefits of the Neufit sessions and how it stimulates the body while training.  Discussions on how Neufit tapps into nervous system in a different way . Teaching you how to activate different muscles. Instilling new patterns for engaging muscles and benefit than more traditional methods and technologies.  Neuromuscular rééducation.   Minute Breakdown: 0 - 18  Discovering where the biggest problems are in the body and correcting those. What was the first injury that started a domino effect to cause other injuries and pain? How to understand and fix that.  The importance of how we respond to injuries is just as important as fixing injuries themselves.   18 - 29  Breaking patterns to help with injuries and prevent them.  The importance of flexibility and lengthening muscles. How the body tightens up to avoid injury. Protective reactions and why they are good but also counterproductive for healing and movement.   29 - 42  How one treatment helped a man's back feel better over the last year than the last 15 years.  Empowering people to know you can improve an you don’t need to rely on drugs or people. You can do it now.   42 - 50: Garret  touches on his journey from inventor, scientist, to running a business and wearing different hats. How Neufit has changed so many lives and the growth it has seen.     50 +  The progress people have made from a rehab perspective.  The neurological approval to Neufit and how this has helped people with spinal injuries, brain injuries.  How people have walked out of wheelchairs from these sessions. What electrical body scans do. --------------------------------------------------- Show notes: https://shruggedcollective.com/tbs-neufit --------------------------------------------------- ► Travel thru Europe with us on the  Shrugged Voyage, more info here: https://www.theshruggedvoyage.com/ ► What is the Shrugged Collective?  Click below for more info: https://youtu.be/iUELlwmn57o ► 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.

Brandon contacted me a few weeks ago in regards to opening a gym. I figured instead of writing him a long message, I would just go down and see him at the Olympic Training Center in Chula Vista and record it. Not only was it an amazing experience to be around all these amazing athletes, but I got to hear a lot more of Brandon’s story and understand why he’s where he’s at and why he would want to open a gym in the first place. He’s overcome a ton adversity, he’s a brilliant guy, and literally everything we talk about has so much value to anyone looking to open their own business or even train athletes in general.   ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Show notes: http://www.shruggedcollective.com/rc-schrom ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ @Hylete- Hylete.com - RC15 for 15% ► 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.

Marcus Filly grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area and had a collegiate career in soccer at the University of California, Berkeley. There he earned his degree in Molecular and Cell Biology with an emphasis in Nutrition and Physiology. After Berkeley he complete a year of graduate work at the Ohio State University School of Medicine. His interest in both athletics and human health and performance eventually led him to CrossFit in 2007. He has gone on to compete at the CrossFit Games 6 times, three times as an individual (2016 12th fittest) and three times as a team member (2012 6th fittest team). Marcus has been a health and fitness coach for ten years since leaving medical school in 2009. He was formerly a CrossFit facility owner for five years, has completed all five of the OPEX CCP courses, and has coached clients remotely from all over the world. Marcus founded Revival Strength, based in San Rafael, California, to help clients from diverse fitness backgrounds fall in love with their training. Revival Strength also offers remote and online group training programs.   What better way to work on looking, feeling, and performing better than to learn from someone who’s had a lot of success doing it. Elite CrossFit athlete, gym owner, and trainer Marcus Filly talk to us about the evolution of his own approach to training, mindset and coaching as he went from his twenties to thirties, and his shift in approach from maximum intensity competitive CrossFit to longevity, recovery, and functional training, while still maintaining a high level of performance (and beach bod muscles).
