Episode Synopsis

Send us a textIn the world of health & fitness, certain lifts and methods have been blacklisted, labelled dangerous, or written off completely. But are they really the problem - or is it poor coaching, bad application, and unchecked egos?In this episode, we dive into the movements that divide coaches most: Jefferson curls, kipping pull-ups, behind-the-neck presses, good mornings, even the staples like squats and deadlifts. We explore why they’re controversial, the real risks versus myths, and when they might actually belong in a program.We also step into bigger conversations: Nutrition, fear-based programming after injury, and the dogma that spreads when movements are misunderstood instead of coached well.The takeaway is simple: movements aren’t dangerous - poor mechanics, poor progression, and poor context are.Whether you’re a coach, an athlete, or someone just trying to cut through the noise, this episode is here to challenge dogma and put the focus back where it belongs: on respect for movement, scaling with intent, and building literacy instead of fear.Listen on Spotify: Train for Everything Podcast | Podcast on SpotifyFollow our Podcast Journey: Instagram Follow our gym's activities and updates on Instagram: Instagram
