The Daniel Yores Podcast

Rick Olderman (rickolderman.com) is a licensed physical therapist, author, and creator of the Fixing You Method. His latest book is titled “Pain Patterns: Why You Are In Pain and How To Stop It” and is now available on Amazon. Rick has a much different, (and a much more comprehensive) approach to healing injuries than most. This is all laid out in detail in Rick’s latest book, and it’s what we chatted about in this episode. The three main pillars are the connection between movement, fascia and reflexes in pain and how these all contribute to creating, and healing injuries. Functional linking is the connection between all your past injuries and poor movement patterns and your current pain. And lastly the connection between psychological trauma or stress and pain. All of this combined contributes to pain in various ways. Understanding it allows you to identify it, and then work to correct or improve it to ultimately help you get out of pain and back to living your best life as soon as possible. If you’ve ever been injured, or experience chronic pain, this episode is for you. To stay up to date with everything Rick has going on, please visit his website where you can also access a free e-book on fixing stubborn pain. The best way to support the podcast is to share the episode with a friend.

The Winter Arc, a little corny, but if it gets you fired up then let it rip. Things in life change as the seasons change - more or fewer social outings, and just general attitude around life overall. And you can spin each of these seasons as positive or negative for your fitness. Winter can feel like a time to just stay in, eat a ton of good food, and not really worry about your fitness until Spring.ORIt can be a time to lock in, and use the isolation of Winter to your advantage. To be disciplined in training and nutrition. To test yourself to work harder when maybe others aren’t. And eventually be way ahead of where you are now. To each their own. But if you’re looking to get on this “Winter Arc”, then this episode contains everything you need from a fitness perspective to really dial things in this Winter and come out the other side in your best shape ever. If you want in on this, send me a DM on IG and I will put together an accountability group for as many people want to join in. We can all work together and lift each other up when you need it.Let’s get it. The best way to support the podcast is to share the episode with a friend.

I turned 30 over the weekend! Getting old, or just getting started? All a matter of perspective… I sat down to reflect, as one does, and came up with a list of 30 things I’ve learned related to fitness and beyond. The entire premise of this podcast is that fitness lessons are synonymous with life lessons, and this episode is a great embodiment of that. As I go through each of them, they are all interrelated and relevant in the gym, and in many areas of life. It’s a great exercise to reflect on things you’ve learned and even better to then share them with others. That’s what it’s all about. I hope you enjoy this as much as I did. The best way to support the podcast is to share the episode with a friend.

Semaj Hunter (@semajhunterfitness) is an online fitness & nutrition coach, father, family man, and a person who genuinely loves helping others. He mainly works with general population clients and bases his coaching on sustainability, and finding the right solution for each individual. *we had some slight connection issues during recording causing some lag, so if you notice some strange pauses, that’s what happened* Semaj is a thinker. It’s very obvious that he’s been a coach for a long time and helped so many people because he has such a broad perspective, yet is also able to distill concepts down to their simplest forms. Which is actually a great reflection of the central theme of this conversation: decisions. Every day we are faced with hundreds or thousands of decisions. Each one moving us slightly further or closer to our goals. But every decision has pros and cons, and every decision that moves us further from our goals, isn’t necessarily a bad thing - and in the long run may even be the thing that moves us closer. Semaj and I speak at length about how to evaluate information and options in order to make smart choices. Choices that aren’t always easy or obvious. But choices that you’ll look back on and be thankful for. I really believe you’ll want to listen to this episode several times, and keep it saved to revisit as needed. Semaj is a phenomenal coach, and an amazing person to learn from. To keep up with Semaj, follow him on IG, and visit his website. The best way to support the podcast is to share the episode with a friend.

Patrick DiBello (@patrickdibellofitness) is an online fitness coach and hybrid athlete. He’s learned from and trained under some of the absolute best coaches in the world and has since been giving it back to everyone who wants to build strength, endurance and mobility while living a healthy lifestyle. A hybrid athlete is certainly a bit of a recent buzzword, but it refers to a person who is training to be very strong in the gym, and also have elite levels of endurance. Two things that are typically separated - you’re either a strong dude, or run marathons, but not both. Patrick does both. We spoke a lot about how he organizes his training and his life in general to accomplish this, and how you can begin to implement it. Patrick has also trained extensively in calisthenics, or bodyweight exercises. There’s a misconception that since it’s “just” bodyweight, it’s somehow easier. This couldn’t be further from the truth. Many calisthenics exercises are extremely advanced and difficult to even attempt. Patrick gives an incredible lesson on how to start and progress with your calisthenics training from wherever you’re at. There’s a ton to learn from Patrick and I feel this episode only scratched the surface. Definitely follow him on IG to keep up and keep learning more, and send this episode to a friend to spread the love. The best way to support the podcast is to share the episode with a friend.
