For this week's Strength Chat it was a pleasure to be joined by strength and conditioning coach and writer, having worked with Elitefts, Breaking Muscle, and Kabuki Strength, Daniel DeBrocke. There can be a lot of variables that can influence someone's progress. However, these variables are just challenges or obstacles that can be overcome with the right support and environment rather than allowing them to derail progress. In this episode, we chatted about taking ownership of your own progress, how environment can influence progress, as well as mental health.   You can follow Daniel via the following links: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/daniel_debrocke/?hl=en    YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@danieldebrocke2865/featured    You can follow myself, Coach Cuthbert, via the following links: Website: https://www.coachcuthberttrainingsystems.co.uk/  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/coach_cuthbert/?hl=en  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/coachcuthbert/

In this week's Strength Chat I was joined by Marine Corps veteran and gym owner, having competed in Strongman, Powerlifting, and Weightlifting, Alan Thrall.

Therefore in this episode, we chatted about managing your time and mindset around changing goals.

It was absolutely awesome to catch up with one of the very first guests I had on Strength Chat, the man, the myth, the legend, Bryce Krawczyk. Bryce has been in and around powerlifting for such a long time, as both athlete and coach, so it’s no surprise he’s experienced some highs and lows. In this episode, we chatted about how that has helped him develop as a lifter, helped him coach his clients, as well as how to deal with the ups and downs of powerlifting.  You can follow Bryce via the following links: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bryce_cbb/?hl=en  Website: https://www.calgarybarbell.com/  You can follow myself, Coach Cuthbert, via the following links: Website: https://www.coachcuthberttrainingsystems.co.uk/  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/coach_cuthbert/?hl=en  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/coachcuthbert/

In this week's episode I was joined by a sports nutritionist working with Fiercely Fuelled Nutrition and 5x South African National Powerlifting Champion, Pia Marangoni. As a former pre-diabetic who healed her body through proper nutrition and recovery, she understands what both new recreational lifters and highly competitive lifters alike face when it comes to making and managing nutrition changes.

It was absolutely awesome to have this guy as a guest for this week's Strength Chat. In this episode I was joined by a former Royal Marine Commando, The Muscle Mechanic, Jerome Scherrer. We’ve spoken a lot in the past and always seem to share the same thoughts and philosophies when it comes to training and coaching, so it was great to take this conversation further. In this episode we chatted about exercise execution and why it’s so important, mindset around certain exercises, as well as what a successful client coach relationship looks like.   You can follow Jerome via the following links: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/the_musclemechanics/?hl=en            You can follow myself, Coach Cuthbert, via the following links: Website: https://www.coachcuthberttrainingsystems.co.uk/  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/coach_cuthbert/?hl=en  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/coachcuthbert/
