#282 - M.E.D. Masterclass #8: Accessory Lifts and Q&A
March 02, 2020 10:00 - 48 minutes - 44.6 MBCoach Matt wraps up the eight and final installment of the MED (Minimum Effective Dose) Masterclass on programming with a discussion on incorporating accessory lifts into any program. In general, accessories allow a lifter to get extra volume, extra "work," which can drive hypertrophy gains and thus support strength gains in the long term. However, unlike the main barbell lifts and supplemental lifts, accessories cannot be done at high intensities, so they are best chosen when the lift...
#281 - Principles #3: Get More Done with the Pomodoro Technique
March 01, 2020 10:00 - 17 minutes - 16.1 MBMatt and Chris Reynolds discuss their "secret weapon" for getting more done in a fast, efficient manner. The Pomodoro Technique, which Matt wrote about for the Barbell Logic newsletter, involves setting a timer to 25 minutes and working without interruption on a single task during that time. No bathroom breaks, no cell phone use, no getting up for a drink. 100% focused work. After the 25 minutes are up, take a 5 minute break. This 30 minute block of time constitutes a single "Pomodoro," and ...

#279 - M.E.D. Masterclass #7: How to Peak for a Meet (Conjugate vs Concurrent Method)
February 24, 2020 10:00 - 1 hour - 59.4 MBIn the seventh installment of the MED (Minimum Effective Dose) Masterclass series, Professor Matt discusses how to approach tapering and peaking for a meet or athletic performance using MED principles. In Matt's view, how you peak depends on what training approach you used leading up to the meet. A lifter training in a conjugate or DUP (daily undulating periodization) program will naturally have a longer peak as he must transition from the accumulation and transmutation phases to more ...
#278 - Principles #2: Overthrowing the Tyranny of the Urgent
February 23, 2020 10:00 - 18 minutes - 17 MBMatt and Chris Reynolds discuss the concept of the urgent versus the important, and the four quadrants into which you can divide all work and chores: Not urgent, not important Urgent, not important Urgent and important Not urgent, but important Most people spend their time in the first three quadrants of the urgency/importance spectrum, leaving little or no time to address the things in life which are not urgent, but important -- things like reading books, cultivating meaningful ...

#276 - M.E.D. Masterclass #6: Supplemental Lifts -- What, When, & Why
February 17, 2020 10:00 - 59 minutes - 54.5 MBIn the sixth installment of the MED (Minimum Effective Dose) Masterclass series, Matt takes a deep dive into supplemental lifts, why you should do them, when to incorporate them, and which variations are best for developing continued strength adaptation. Matt considers supplemental lifts to be exercises which look like the main lifts, but differ in range of motion, intensity/load, amount and type of musculature trained, or some other aspect of the lift. This is in contrast to accessory...
#275 - Principles #1: The Neverending Search for Knowledge
February 16, 2020 10:00 - 12 minutes - 12.1 MBPrinciples is a new series in which Matt and a rotating group of co-hosts reflect on the ideas, values, and habits that define their lives. Each episode will be short and focus on a single idea or habit. In the first installment, Matt and his brother Chris Reynolds discuss their thirst for knowledge, and why it's so important to continue learning as they age and move through different seasons of life.

#274 - The Principles of Success: Chris Reynolds & Achieving the American Dream
February 13, 2020 10:00 - 57 minutes - 53.3 MBThe American Dream is not dead yet, and Chris Reynolds is living proof. In the first of a new series called Principles, Matt interviews his brother Chris about his founding of BriteCore, a company that builds cloud-based systems for managing insurance operations, which allowed him to retire at the age of 38. Things didn't always go so well, and Chris tirelessly worked his way up from humble beginnings, with a few lucky breaks and key help from friends and mentors. Discounts Want to tr...
#273 - M.E.D. Masterclass #5: Spicing Up the 3-Week Cycle with Supplemental Lifts
February 10, 2020 10:00 - 55 minutes - 51.3 MBPressing on with installment #5 of the Minimum Effective Dose (MED) Masterclass, Matt explains how volume and intensity work in the 3-Week mesocycle introduced in the previous class. While most lifters can continue to PR both their intensity sets (using backoff sets) and their volume sets (by increasing tonnage), eventually they run into a practical dilemma. When is enough volume... enough? Logically, a lifter could continue to make progress in the 3-week model by adding more volume. B...

#271 - M.E.D. Masterclass #4: Options, Options... and the 4-Day Split
February 03, 2020 10:00 - 49 minutes - 46 MBIn part 4 of the MED Masterclass, Matt discusses the various ways you can structure the volume and intensity days in the 4-Day Split, including sets, reps, exercise selection, and accessory work. While the 4-Day Split opens up many programming options, the goals for each day of the split are clear: intensity is about setting PR's (weight on the bar), while volume is about increasing stress via tonnage (sets x reps x weight).

#269 - The M.E.D. Masterclass #3: Freedom & The Four-Day Split
January 27, 2020 10:00 - 48 minutes - 44.8 MBIn part 3 of the MED Masterclass series, Matt walks through the transition from an HLM or Texas Method style program to his favorite program, the four-day split. In the four-day split, a lifter trains four days instead of three, and performs an intensity and volume workout for each of the main lifts. Typically, the four-day split is setup as an upper body / lower body split, with squats and deadlifts on one day and press and bench press on another. This is probably the biggest MED chan...
#268 - The Heaviest Lift: Prof. Paul's Battle, and Victory, Over Cancer
January 23, 2020 10:00 - 50 minutes - 46.8 MBEvery man dies, but not every man really lives. Count Professor Paul among the living. After a long, difficult battle with cancer in his neck, Paul Markel has emerged victorious and we are happy to welcome him back to the podcast. We often talk about strength training as a sort of physical 401(k), an investment in our body that we may need to draw on in the future. This was especially true for Paul, who lost over 40lbs during treatment. Fortunately, he was a strong, conditioned lifter...
#267 - The M.E.D. Masterclass #2: The Ultimate Guide to Programming After LP
January 20, 2020 10:00 - 1 hour - 59.6 MBIn the second masterclass on Minimum Effective Dose (MED) programming, Matt discusses the three principles or "rules" of MED, and offers specific examples of post-novice programming for the squat, deadlift, bench and press. Timestamps: Squat - 16:05 Deadlift - *38:45 (after the midroll break) Bench & Press - *52:15 *exact time will vary depending on length of the midroll break In the MED masterclass, you'll get to sit in the coach's seat and learn how to think more de...

#265 - The M.E.D. Masterclass #1: A Simple Approach to Programming
January 13, 2020 10:00 - 1 hour - 63.5 MBIn 2019 Coach Matt delivered a series of lectures to the Barbell Logic staff on Minimum Effective Dose (MED) programming. MED is all about simplicity, identifying the smallest change you can make to a lifter's programming to keep him or her progressing. Of course, MED is not a new concept for Barbell Logic. Matt and Scott have discussed it as far back as Episode #53, and the idea underpins all of the programming episodes we've done since then. Despite this, there is still much co...
#264 - The Pain Puzzle: Exploring the Frontier of Pain Neuroscience with Coach Jayson Ball
January 09, 2020 10:00 - 59 minutes - 54.4 MBLongtime strength coach and now PhD Neuroscience student Jayson Ball joins the show today to talk about his work in the world of pain neuroscience. Pain is a perplexing thing. While many people understand it as a strictly mechanical phenomenon (you slam your fingers in a door and say "ouch!"), pain also has a complex emotional and neurological component that cannot be ignored. A massive pain management industry, including opiate and opioid drugs, has grown to meet the demand of pain suffer...
#263 -Niki Sims: Balancing Strength Training with Brazilian Jiu Jitsu
January 06, 2020 10:00 - 54 minutes - 50.4 MBBarbell Logic coach Niki Sims returns to the podcast to discuss her experience balancing strength training with Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. Niki has been strength training for about 10 years, and started training BJJ about two years ago, seeking a new hobby. During that time she has kept strength a priority, pulling 430lbs at a meet in 2019. BJJ is a stressful sport that demands a lot of recovery resources, however, so Niki has learned to balance her rolling with strength training. BJJ ...

#256 - Getting Started #8: What to Do When Training Gets HARD
December 02, 2019 10:00 - 37 minutes - 34.3 MBYou've heard it before. A good training program is simple, hard, and effective. But what does hard mean exactly? Most novices have never done anything physically hard in their life -- especially physical tasks that require maximal amounts of force production. So they must learn what hard means, in the context of strength training. The first encounter with hard often comes as a shock. With practice, determination, and encouragement from a good coach or training partner, however, a novic...

In today's episode Coach Matt and Scott discuss the most important things you need to know about recovery so that you get the most out of your strength training. Many factors affect your ability to recover from the work you do in the weight room -- nutrition, sleep, job stress, children, taxes, your mortgage. Some of these we can control, and some we can't.

#252 - Getting Started #6: Linear Progression - The Simple Way to Strength
November 18, 2019 10:00 - 27 minutes - 25.2 MBIn the sixth installment of the Getting Started series, Coach Matt and Scott explain why the simplest way of training is, in fact, the best way to train for strength. Linear progression refers to a program which increases the weight of the lifts every single workout. The increments are small -- 5-10lbs at first, 5lbs thereafter, perhaps 2.5lbs or less for women -- and the weight increases constantly. The lifter's progress on this program would be represented on a graph as a straight li...

November 11, 2019 10:00 - 41 minutes - 38.4 MBIf you've listened to the first four episodes of the Getting Started series, you've got all the knowledge you need to start a productive strength training program and get stronger than you've ever been. Now it's time to put that knowledge into action and do it! In your first workout, your goal is to find a starting weight for each of the lifts: squat, press, and deadlift. You will perform the bench press on your next workout, since the press and bench press alternate each workout. Matt...

#248 - Getting Started #4: The Equipment You Need for Your First Home Gym
November 04, 2019 10:00 - 53 minutes - 49.6 MBOnce you've made the decision and started training instead of exercising, it doesn't take long to realize the average commercial "globo gym" is woefully inadequate for productive barbell training. Waiting to use the squat rack while someone finishes their high-rep curl set, poor quality barbells, dodecagonal plates, not being allowed to use chalk -- these are just a few of the reasons that most trainees at Barbell Logic choose to build a home gym. With a modest outlay, you can equip a ...

October 28, 2019 09:00 - 36 minutes - 34 MBIn Getting Started #2, Matt and Scott discussed the big picture of getting strong, which occurs by lifting progressively heavier weights over time. Since this is Barbell Logic, you guessed it... we accomplish this progressive method of strength training using barbells. Though there are thousands of different exercises we could do in the gym, barbell training comprises just four exercises, the so-called "Big Lifts."

October 21, 2019 09:00 - 39 minutes - 36.4 MBSo you heard us out in Getting Started #1 and you've decided it's time to get strong. How do actually do that? For that matter, how do you improve any physical attribute? Before we get into specific exercises, sets, and reps, it's important to understand the distinction between exercise and training. Exercise is what most people do when they join the local globo gym or decide to jog around the block. It's randomly selected activity for an unspecified duration or intensity, with no real...

#242 - Getting Started #1: What's The Big Deal About Strength?
October 14, 2019 09:00 - 34 minutes - 31.2 MBYou've decided. It's time to get started. It's time to get in shape. But... how? Do you start jogging around the block? Join the local YMCA and hit the elliptical machine? Do a couple circuits on the shiny weight machines? There is a vast library of exercises you could do, and endless amounts of conflicting information on the best way to exercise. Judging by the physical condition of the average American, none of these approaches seem to work very well. At Barbell Logic we argue that s...
