Where Optimal Meets Practical

Josh + Zac from Data Driven StrengthHypertrophy nerds unite. This one was super fun.There are few people who disseminate evidence-based (you know...based on actual evidence) strength training information as well as these guys and I really don't think they get the recognition they deserve.Really excited to have them on and really enjoyed our conversation.Where to find DDS⬇️IG: https://www.instagram.com/datadrivenstrength/Website: https://www.data-drivenstrength.com/Newsletter: https://www.data-drivenstrength.com/newsletterWhere to find me⬇️IG: https://www.instagram.com/jordanlipsfitness/Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/si/podcast/where-optimal-meets-practical/id1518859017Website: http://jordanlipsfitness.com/Jordan’s Coaching Options⬇️Group Program [FULL GYM] - https://marketplace.trainheroic.com/workout-plan/team/max-hypertrophy?attrib=548099-igGroup Program [HOME GYM] - https://marketplace.trainheroic.com/workout-plan/team/home-bodies?attrib=548099-ig

Aram G (@4weekstothebeach).This week I chat with Aram about what it was like putting on the Real Coaches Summit..We discussed what his goals were, how it went, what he would do differently, and what made this different from other events we’ve been to in the past..Continued education for coaches is important as f*ck..…and truthfully there are so many opportunities for coaches to do CE.so how should you choose where to put your time and money?.What made this experience unique?.Where to find Aram⬇️IG: https://www.instagram.com/4weeks2thebeach/Get tickets for 2024: https://www.realcoachessummit2023.com/tickets..Where to find me⬇️IG: @JordanLipsFitnessPodcast: Where Optimal Meets PracticalWebsite: JordanLipsFitness.com..Jordan’s Coaching Options⬇️Group Programming [Gym Program]Group Programming [Home Gym]..Helping you find the balance between OPTIMAL and PRACTICAL.🫶🏼JL

I interviewed 4 members of my group program to hear more about their likes, dislikes, and what their experience has been like!.Some of them have been in the group since day 1 so it was really fun to hear about how things have changed since the beginning.If you wanna learn more about what the group is like, this podcast will help a ton 😁.Jordan’s Coaching Options⬇️Group Programming [Gym Program]Group Programming [Home Gym].Helping you find the balance between OPTIMAL and PRACTICAL.🫶🏼JL

There’s going to be a good amount of overlap between this episode and last week’s episode with Dr. Alyssa Olenick but I think that’s fine since some of the content can be a little dense. Reinforcement won’t hurt!.Bryan and I go through the basics of zone 2 physiology and application and talk about WHY we’re starting to incorporate more of it at this point in our lives..Since we’ve both spent the majority of the last decade training to be a full-time meathead, this gentle shift in goals has had a bit of a learning curve but has been super fun to explore..Where to find Bryan⬇️Website: Paragontrainingmethods.comIG: https://www.instagram.com/bryanboorstein/Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/eat-train-prosper/id1545657828.Where to find me⬇️IG: @JordanLipsFitnessPodcast: Where Optimal Meets PracticalWebsite: JordanLipsFitness.com.Jordan’s Coaching Options⬇️Group Programming [Gym Program]Group Programming [Home Gym].Helping you find the balance between OPTIMAL and PRACTICAL.🫶🏼JL

I don’t want to understate how important this discussion is…because it’s complicated! Clothes and fashion are part of our culture and expression and let’s face it, we wear clothes every day and having clothes that fit us well is a good feeling.At the same time…we’re not here on earth to fit into clothes. As our bodies change (for potentially many different reasons) our clothes should change with us. This is what we discuss in today’s episode…How to deal with “fitting into your clothes” as your body changes throughout your life.Where to find BYM⬇️Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-butter-dish-with-heidi-bollard-and-natalie/id1582708359IG: https://www.instagram.com/butteryourmacros/Where to find me⬇️IG: @JordanLipsFitnessPodcast: Where Optimal Meets PracticalWebsite: JordanLipsFitness.comJordan’s Coaching Options⬇️Apply for 1:1 Coaching HEREGroup Programming [Gym Program]Group Programming [Home Gym]Helping you find the balance between OPTIMAL and PRACTICAL🫶🏼JL
