In this episode, I sit down with the owner of Kodiak Barbell, Stuart Locke.  I coached Stuart for almost 6 years and have seen him grow into one of the most well known coaches in the powerlifting space.  Stuart suffered bi-lateral quad tendon ruptures 6 weeks before me and we were both struggling to find helpful and relevant information during the recovery process.  After navigating the rehab ourselves, we learned more than we could have ever imagined and collaborated on a robust resource to help others going through quad or patellar tears.  We’re going to dive into the experiences and hard learned lessons along the way.We discuss:Stuart’s injury on May 26th. Initial emotional reactions when we got hurtDepression post-injuryHeavy doses of reality. The pain scale changes forever. The mindset around a career-ending injury.Why did we create this resource? Systematizing the rehab process. Functional benchmarks in rehab as a guideline. Is there a role for physical therapy within the process of rehab? Weird things we ran into in rehab. Things that really moved the needle in the right direction. At the end of the day, don't be a pussy and learn to work hard!Download the Quad/ Patellar Tendon Rehab Guide: https://masterathletic.com/knee-rehab-guide278949 Find Stu:CLICK HERE__________Paul's singular goal is to raise the bar for coaching.

In this episode, we do the first ever CCU Podcast 3 way, as I sit down with Dean Guedo and Jeb Johnston to dive deep into the medications that have been sweeping through North America - GLP1 Agonists.  The class of GLP1 drugs includes, Semaglutide (Ozempic), Terzepatide (Mounjaro) and the newest generation, yet to be released, Retatrutide.  These drugs have been showing incredible results in the treatment of Type-2 Diabetes and being used off-label in the treatment of obesity.There is a lot of drama around these drugs because, just like anything that works, it brings up a lot of emotions - are they an easy way out, or a boon for the health industry?  Are we setting people up for failure long term?  Can the weight loss be maintained?  We dive into it all.Dean is a strength and nutrition coach driven to find a better, more efficient way to help people optimize their lives.
