In this episode, I sat down with Dr. John Rusin to talk about how to train for strength, stay pain-free, and avoid burnout. He shared how training trends have shifted over the years and why doing just one workout a week won't move the needle. We talked about why full-body workouts work best, how to approach mobility and recovery without wasting time, and why Olympic lifts and barbell back squats might not be right for everyone. John also shared how his new book brings together everything he's learned over the past 20 years. Key Takeaways: Most programs today overemphasize strength and muscle but neglect athletic movement. Strength and hypertrophy aren't enough, movement quality, mobility, and power matter too. Effective programming includes smart warmups, prehab, and recovery strategies.
