Dive into this week’s installment of Rapid Fire Q&A, where we tackle viewer-submitted questions on a wide range of training topics. From foundational concepts to our hot takes to practical advice, we bring clarity and insights to the table.

We begin by examining the meaning of training saturation and its relevance to periodization. Then, we shift focus to the off-season training habits of NFL players, examining recurring injuries and what might be missing in their preparation. Do you have clients asking to train only once a week? We share our hot take on the importance of frequency for building results.

Next, we take a closer look at the role of Smith machines in strength training and when they might be beneficial (or not). For those struggling with knee or hip issues during squats, we provide alternative exercises to effectively train the lower body, particularly the quads. Finally, we weigh in on programming with horizontal row machines versus standard row machines and offer guidance on maximizing their effectiveness.

Whether you’re a coach fielding similar questions from clients or a fitness enthusiast eager to level up your knowledge, this episode delivers actionable advice you can apply today. Hit play now to join the conversation!
