In this episode of the Podcast, Darien & Hayden discuss how training unilateral movements will help improve your strength when it comes to your bilateral movements. They also discuss what you should look for when choosing a coach and how you should perhaps consider judging a book by its cover. The episode begins with another mention of Darien's new husky puppy, Luna, and how to adequately exercise puppies at such a young age (11:00). They transition into discussing the importance of high-level athlete training and how much specificity goes into their programming (16:10). Some people are genetically gifted with strength but that doesn't necessarily mean that they are using their strength to their full potential (23:30). Unilateral exercises with the intent of creating symmetry with proper movement patterns will have a strong carryover to bilateral exercises (28:00). The conversation changes into discussing the means in which people will generally select a Personal Trainer at a commercial gym (38:07). Hayden brings up how he would look for a PT that is credible and has achieved goals in which he would like to achieve (43:35). The differences between a "Chad" and a "Pencil Pusher" as PT's (48:55). First impressions are important, but are they the only thing that matter (54:25)? For online coaching, www.darienmattfitness.ca and you can find us both on Instagram @darienmatt and @hayden.eade.
