Squat University

In episode 69,  Brett Bartholomew stops by the show (some of you may know him as @CoachBrettB on Instagram). He’s the author of 'Conscious Coaching' and has tailored his career to helping coaches, physical therapist and really anyone in a leadership position learn how to master the art of communication. You see, sets and reps and understanding programming are critical for coaches, trainers and therapists, but you have to know about psychology and how to motivate people to get the most out of them.

In episode 68, Dr. Aaron Horschig breaks down why you shouldn't place your complete trust in MRI results for low back pain. Research has estimated that almost a third of healthy pain free 20-year-olds currently have a disc bulge in their spine! (Brinjikji W, Luetmer PH, Comstock B, et al. Systematic literature review of imaging features of spinal degeneration in asymptomatic populations. Am J Neuroradiol. 2015;36:811-16) This number increases 10% every decade, meaning 45-50% of people between the ages of 40-50 have a disc bulge but with no back pain at all. It is highly likely to have abnormal scary findings on the MRI if you’re above the age of 60 but many of these individuals have no low back pain at all. Can a disc bulge create back pain? Sure. But just because there is one that is picked up on an MRI does NOT necessarily mean it is the root cause of your pain. Check out these referenced articles:  Jensen MC, Brant-Zawadzki MN, Obuchowski N, et al. Magnetic resonance imaging of the lumbar spine in people without back pain. N Engl J Med. 1994;331(2):69-73 Carragee E, Alamin T, Cheng I, et al. Are first-time episodes of serious LBP associated with new MRI findings? Spine J. 2006; 6(6):624-35 Fukuda K & Kawakami G. Proper use of MR imaging for evaluation of low back pain (radiologist’ view).

In episode 67, I got the chance to sit down with Jordan Syatt. Now if you don’t know Jordan – you should. He is the epitome of the phrase – student of the game. He has a ton of experience in the world of powerlifting – even training at west side barbell for a short time (which we’ll talk about today), and he literally works his face off learning and growing his knowledge base so he can help others as a coach. We dive into how he became Gary Vaynerchucks coach – and lessons he has taken for successfully growing a social media presence in 2019. And as you’ll find out we ended up bonded over our love of long form blogging on all things exercise science related, talking about lifting big weights and of course coffee ..so I think you will really enjoy this podcast.  Check out Jordans website: https://www.syattfitness.com Check out Jordan on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/syattfitness/ Master squat technique: https://squatuniversity.com/book/ Subscribe to my YouTube channel here: https://tinyurl.com/y2eq7kpr Visit the website: http://www.squatuniversity.com Like the Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/SquatUniversity Follow on Twitter: https://twitter.com/squatuniversity Follow on Instagram: http://instagram.com/squat_university
