Below are some of the major points taken from the Pod Cast, Click on the link at the bottom to hear the entire Pod Cast.

• The word “coddled” is very often never used with the word conditioning.
• Conditioning is defined as a method of controlling or influencing the way people behave or think by using gradual training process.
• Coddled is defined as treating someone in an overprotective and indulgent way.
• Strength coaches often face the fact that doing what a client wants and doing what a client needs are two different things.
• An entire fixed axis seated exercise industry has been created-- neglecting postural reflexes, core, and any type of functional movement at all.
• Fitness can be laid on top of dysfunction-- burn calories without addressing any movement problems.
• Corrective exercise is not a simple exercise for an individual who is having trouble doing it because of a movement deficiency.
• Corrective strategy can very well be a conditioning program.
• If you begin too fast and too intense with dysfunction, you will ultimately go slower in the end because the foundation was not set properly.
• Bringing your own agenda to a conditioning program should be more on the lines of goals, not techniques.
• “CrossFit” possess some positives-- empowering people who have never been empowered by exercise, getting people to drop weight without boring cardio, introducing people to free weights, kettlebells, rope climbing, pull-ups, gymnastics moves, and keep variety.
• “CrossFit” does not possess the precision that it should in technique.
• Lifts with kettlebells and free weights were designed with technique in mind so that under fatigue, your unconscious default mode should be impeccable technique (instead of “muscling” it out)
• Additionally, your default mode should not be your own energy system.  It should be your technically correct technique.
• Coddled conditioning can mean two things: 1.) you are being overprotective of the individual who is “soft or whinny” and/or 2.) you are being overindulgent to the individual who wants to be pushed.
• In today’s culture, we need to earn the right for certain lifts.
• Precision, Progression, and Variety!
