In this episode, I’m answering questions about two things I’m incredibly passionate about: learning how to train properly and learning how to become great at your craft. I break down when I think the Smith machine can actually be useful for squatting, why a straight bar path matters, and how it can be used as a learning tool to help you understand proper positioning before progressing to heavier free-weight training.
I also share what I believe it really takes to become a great personal trainer. Having watched dozens of trainers come and go throughout my career, I’ve seen firsthand that having a good physique or a certification doesn’t automatically make you a good coach. You need to learn how to teach, get your reps in, check your ego, seek mentorship, and become genuinely great at what you do.
Success comes from mastering the fundamentals and being willing to learn from people who have already walked the path you’re trying to follow.
