EP143: Staying Strong, Muscular and Athletic For Life, Without Crushing Your Body w/ Dr. Jordan Shallow

Was excited to have Dr. Jordan Shallow on the show a month ahead of hosting him for the Pre-Script Level 1 Certification at Vigor Ground Fitness and Performance and talk about the topic I love; building an athlete for life.

Dr. Jordan Shallow D.C. is a Chiropractor, Strength and Conditioning Coach, Powerlifter and founder of both Pre-Script and RX’D RADIO. Jordan currently works with teams, companies and individuals all over the world, lecturing, coaching and consulting on applied biomechanics, sports performance, and injury risk management.

IN THIS EPISODE YOU’LL LEARN:

• Why strength training and athletic training are skills, and you must treat them as such.
• The often missed ingredient in getting better at athleticism (at any age) – sensory input, and how to implement it.
• When does all the tracking and performance metrics NOT get you the desired outcomes and something you have to pay attention to.
• Why Tyson Fury dominates even though he doesn’t look athletic and what that means for you (and having both).
• Sensory vs Motor Output and how to dose each of them based on what YOU need to achieve the best results.
• Is micro-dosing training the new “secret” and how to use it for yourself.
• When you’re younger, THE best thing you can do for your performance is improving STRENGTH.
• The reason Saquon Barkley doesn’t need more strength but you do, and the markers that determine what to work on so you can perform better when you play as well as how you look.
• What you can learn from high level Crossfit athletes when it comes to program design.
• What are the differences between stability and strength, and why single leg is used vs. bilateral and when.
• Using single leg exercises as an assessment tool before your training session.
• If you can’t do a simple one leg RDL with bodyweight, it may not be the best idea to load a deadlift heavy that day – the insights behind it and how it plays into your programming.
• Why wearables can’t help you at the highest level of coaching and what makes you unique at helping clients.
• The difference between one spider and another and how it relays to your exercise selection, and why you need to have a depth of understanding exercises at a deeper level.
• The truth about tissue tolerance and making sure you have the best foundation to not get injured.
• Training clients in a smart way and why we shouldn’t “auto-regulate” and make things easier, here’s what we should do.
• Why the light pods for visual training don’t really do much but what does help.
• Why you should NOT have contrarian thought but should have original thought.
