In this week’s Strength Chat, it was absolute pleasure to be joined a coach with over three decades of experience working with athletes across a variety of sports, as well as being the author of two books and being published in numerous journals, Joe Kenn. To be able to speak to a coach with Joes experience and success was awesome, not just from his time in American Football, but across a variety of sports from basketball to athletics.

In this week’s Strength Chat, I was lucky enough to be joined by two strongwomen with multiple national and international titles to their names, Donna Moore and Jenny Todd. Both women have accomplished so much within strongman and seen the sport grow massively over the last few years, especially strongwoman.

For this weeks episode it was an absolute pleasure to be joined by a Ph.D in psychology and certified health and fitness coach, Dr. Kasey Orvidas. Adding a different aspect to coaching with her knowledge and experience in psychology research and coaching in the gym, I really enjoyed chatting with Kasey. One of the biggest factors that hold people back is their mindset and it’s amazing how many areas of people’s lives that it can have an impact on. Therefore, in this episode, we chatted about a growth versus closed mindset, why people can struggle changing their mindset and how this can impact training and progress.

In this week’s episode I was joined by former Naval Officer, having competed in powerlifting to iron mans, and the Director of the Barbell Academy at Barbell Logic, CJ Gotcher. With such a varied training background I think CJ is a great example of using training as a tool that should be enjoyed. His journey from believing there’s only one right way to train, to then being open to realise there’s a lot more options out there can probably resonate with a lot of people. Therefore, in this episode, we chatted about balancing training with health and life, the role of strength training in his training, as well as his role as Director of the Barbell Academy.
