Take Control of Your Anxious Nervous Internal Voice

Do you struggle with your internal voice creating nerves, anxiety, and negative thoughts when it comes time to perform? Whether it's public speaking, competing in athletics, or anything else, you have to put in the work to take control of that voice and use it to empower you rather than to beat you down. There are tools out there to help and opportunities to educate yourself and find the tactics that will help you deal with that internal voice. Most important, remember you aren't alone in that battle. Coach Luke and Geoff fight that battle all the time, and today they share some of their experiences and ways they've found to help battle those inner critical voices. The discussion on this topic starts around 24:30 after some other fun and informative discussion.

A Great Workout When You Have No Time and Fixing Our Eating Problem

This week on the GreenStrength Podcast, Coach Luke and Geoff start off with a fun discussion about the new Oklahoma Football coaching hires and how college football players workout and trying. We then talk about the nutrition and eating problem we have broadly in the United States and the problems we have individually and some of the ways we can work through them. Finally, Geoff asks Coach Luke about how he can fit a good workout into a short time when he doesn't have a full hour. Coach Luke gives some tips on how to fit a great workout into 20 minutes using tools like focusing on primary compound movements and density training. They also discuss strategies for fitting movement and exercise in throughout the day that has a big impact like using the Grease the Groove method.

Sometimes You Have to Grip It and Rip It

Being technical in your lifts and movements should be a goal for everyone, but we also have to recognize that we exercise to get in shape. That means you also need to be pushing it, finding ways to work around little injuries, and moving more both inside and out of the gym.

Going From Zero to One

This week on the GreenStrength Podcast, Coach Luke and Geoff talk about going from zero to one. Sometimes we get lost in researching and planning and thinking about things, which holds us up from getting started. Then, once we get started, we are too focused on reaching 100 and forget that we still need to do those 0 to 1 things that lay the foundation for success. Join us for a discussion about not forgetting the zero to one foundations. Happy Thanksgiving from the GreenStrength Podcast crew!

How to Prepare Yourself For Optimal Gains

Exercise is a stress that we put on our body with the intent of getting stronger, healthier, and fitter. In order to maximize the improvement and adaptation from exercise we have to make sure our bodies are prepared to adapt to the exercise stress. This requires we manage ALL the stress in our life in order to give our body the best platform for adapting to the exercise stress. This means we have to manage our sleep, nutrition, work, exercise routine, and more in order to keep a balance that leads to optimal adaptation and improvement. 

Coach Luke and Geoff also discuss a recent conversation about kettlebells vs. barbells and how experience, quality, and age can impact how you use different tools. They also discuss figuring out the "why" behind the exercises you are performing so you can assess the way you train on a deeper level.
