Episode Synopsis

Send us a textHappy New Year and welcome to 2026! In this Rapid Fire Q&A episode of Between 2 Racks, the KILO Crew kicks things off with a quick update on what’s ahead this year, including the final live course dates at our facility, upcoming travel seminars, and what online courses are coming next.Then we dive into your questions, starting with the difference between “optimal reps” and context driven rep selection, and why the internet’s obsession with one perfect rep range is missing the point. We also break down resistance curves, how different loading modalities change the stress profile of an exercise, and how to actually think about resistance curve vs strength curve without overcomplicating it.From there, we get into periodizing training for tactical and hybrid athletes who need year round readiness, how to use baseline KPIs, and why parallel and emphasis models often beat sequential plans for these populations. We also discuss whether tech is making programming smarter or more complicated, how to interpret data without letting it dictate decisions, and why testing only matters if you understand what it actually carries over to.We wrap with a practical conversation on macro tracking for gen pop clients, when it helps, when it becomes a distraction, and how to use tracking as education instead of another source of stress.Send in your questions and we’ll keep the Rapid Fire episodes coming.Stay Connected with KILO: Have Questions?
