Fitness is Fucked Ep. 1 — The Book Doesn’t Change But The Reader Does

We wanted a way to address shorter topics, and sub-categories dealing with fitness specifically. So welcome into the rotation, The Fitness Is Fucked Podcast by NonProphet.

In this first episode Michael and Kegan discuss some of the inherent traps of becoming a strength coach, how we let clients—who do not know—dictate training, especially with strength training, and how it is often a road to nowhere. After rereading some of the original Russian literature on strength and power in light of revising our Strength Manual, Michael noticed how what he saw and read in 2023 seemed drastically different from what he originally he saw and read over 13 years ago. The books do not change (obviously) but we do, and it highlights a very interesting aspect about learning. It is hard to learn when you think you already know what you are looking for.
