The Trevor Theismann Show

Fitness trackers can muddy the water when tracking calories. There are so many variables that can influence the amount of calories an individual burns in a day by inflating your exercise, and over estimating how much food you're actually eating, individuals can struggle to accurately track her calories. Develop a system of averages. What averages of movement do you do every day? What averages of food intake do you do every day. By understanding an average you can fail on the side of surplus or deficit to help you get results.

Had a great time watching these videos. Hope you all enjoy them too.

Episode 2026 - If you need massive space, a walkway, a great wakeboarding wave, and the ability to surf, a forward drive is a pretty great choice. The layout in these boats are much more convenient for walking throughout the cockpit, and you do not lose any of the features you would be looking for in the V-drive. I believe if you want the biggest monster Surfwave out there you are still going to have to pay over 200,000 dollars for a monster boat. However, if you have a family and are looking to have fun out on the water I really don't think there are any regrets in buying a forward drive. It has a comparable wave to many lower priced V-drive boats and if you add weight, just like they do on every V-drive out there your wave will keep getting bigger.

Episode 2025 - If you are a parent coaching your kids or just trying to help them get better at a sport, speed is very important. There are three key elements that I see in lots of little kids that parents can address to help them perform better.

Number two, what does their arm action look like? Number three, is their head trailing their body? Evaluate these tips and help your kid perform better.

Episode 2021 - Here's a great conditioning drill for baseball players. Add this to the end of your training as a group. You can alternate athletes and have up to eight players per group. Any bigger than that I recommend that you split up into smaller groups. Pulling a football out at the end of practice can be a great way to loosen up the group. You can do this workout with a baseball and glove as well, but I have always found that utilizing a football here and there is fun for the guys. A great tip to start this exercise is to cover arm action and how to settle your head as you approach the ball. Learning how to run smoothly is very important during the last phase of this exercise. Calm the gate, then reach, and catch.

Episode 2020 - Hip flexors are extremely important for developing speed. This unique drill is fun to use with football players. It trains not only the hip flexors, but also change of direction. Add Kbands to this exercise for greater resistance added to your legs.   Each repetition should last about 12-20 seconds with a variety of direction changes. Utilize a cone tap in the middle and a quick touch and go at the edges.

Unfortunately, a lot of these features are just what was promised in the original purchase. A battery life that can last longer than a workday, and even some buttons that are easily touchable.

Episode 2014 - the Netflix documentary untold: the girlfriend who didn't exist, is a crazy dive into the Manti Te'o catfish extravaganza. By the end of the documentary you can't help but feel terrible for Manti Te'o and what he went through. It's hard to believe that a guy of his stature could get catfished, but as a college athlete myself, I knew many teammates that had long distance relationships and video calls rarely worked. I think the documentary approach the topic from a middle of the road perspective and just tried to tell the story. I believe that if I told the story I would've made the cat Fisher and the reporters that brought the story as a bit more of an enemy. They truly did paint him out to be a terrible person in the papers, and the catfisher is just a savage.

Episode 2013 - Here is an example warm-up that youth baseball players can utilize before getting on the mound. It breaks down each mechanical element that young athletes need to throw with accuracy and velocity. Take note of each step and the distances utilized to perform the warm up properly.

Episode 2008 - the last edition you should make to your home gym is by adding suspension straps like the KB Duo. It is an inexpensive item to add to your gym and can be used in multiple different ways. The way that I utilize the KB duo is different than most people use suspension straps. Of course you can do rows in different exercises pulling your body weight. However, they can be used to help balance and assist during bodyweight movements better than anything else you will use.

Episode 2007 - there are many types of adjustable dumbbells. I have used many of them. My suggestion would be to go out and get you a set of Power Blocks. There are no complicated mechanisms that will break. These adjustable dumbbells have a simple pin mechanism. As long as the pin is not broke, they will work properly. Adjustable dumbbells give you a tremendous variety to your workouts at home. You will not need kettlebells or plates if you do not want them.

Episode 2006 - of course you need resistance bands in your home gym. The question is, what type? Should you buy clips, sleeves, or resistance bands with handles?

Just like any other muscle group it's important to realize that working on range of motion can really help alleviate pain quickly. This routine will take you about 10 minutes to complete. It has segments of warm-ups, as well as, some blood flow exercises that are really going to help. If you have the type of shoulder pain that is crippling, you probably need to see a doctor.

It should only take you about 10 to 15 minutes a day to get your range of motion back and make your hips feel better.

Episode 1099 - Sled pulls have become a big part of fitness for knee health in the past couple years. The problem with a sled is it's very difficult to utilize a tool like this at home. I have learned the benefits of dragging a sled to help with knee strength. It really does work! I started using victory ropes about six months ago within my home gym to mimic this exercise. It is an effective alternative to sled pulling in an environment that can be rather challenging. In this episode I discuss how to set it up in your home and the best way to get results.

Episode 1098 - in today's episode we review a workout that Aaron Donald did a while back. He makes some great drill recommendations that we had to bring to our audience.

Episode 1096 - Do you have pain in your knee or outside of your hip? Sometimes tension in your IT band can really send some shockwaves through your lower limbs. I remember when foam rollers first came out and it was recommended to utilize them on your IT band. For years I foam rolled my IT band, but I also foam rolled all the connective tissue around it. Overtime, I found more success targeting the quads and glutes for any outside knee pain than I ever received from the excruciating pain rolling my IT band. Give it a try! Look for balls of tension within the outside of your quad if your knee is bothering you.

Could he build a legacy for a competing organization? It's always fun to brainstorm the possibilities. What are your thoughts?

Episode 1090 - Don't throw away your speed parachutes. As more training methods are utilized to train athletes for speed, one item that you shouldn't throw away is the speed training parachute. It definitely has its downsides. If weather conditions and wind is not right, then they can be very ineffective. However, training in the right conditions can greatly improve your top end speed.

Sean O'Malley went to a no decision, and Adesanya's next opponent is solidified in stone.

Episode 1080 was a great time. We discussed an interview that Beeple had on the Impaulsive podcast. They talked an awful lot about NFT's and being rich, but the message that my brother and I took away was much different. Beeple is the true definition of discipline and capitalizing at the right moment. He created art for nearly 15 years every single day. Then NFT's showed up. He combined all of his art into one NFT to make a tremendous amount of money. Talk about an inspiring story. Have a vision, execute regularly, capitalize. The true essence of discipline and execution.

Episode 1081 - the Bob and Brad Physical Therapist Show is like watching your dad and his best buddy drink beers and teach you things. It really is pretty great. They've made thousands of videos to try to help people relieve their pain. They do a great job and have some comic relief. After watching these guys for years there are two specific exercises that really stand out that have helped me a lot and hopefully will help you too.

Episode 1079 - I remember listening to this podcast as soon as it came out years ago. CT Fletcher is such a funny guy. He is a hard nosed hard worker and very inspiring. He's over training statement is among one of my favorite lines. He does follow it up, however, with a statement about getting proper rest and sleep. Evaluate your training regimen and your perceived exertion. If you have proper training technique and a well planned program, then push yourself to the fullest. Encourage good habits of recovery and you will be just fine.

Episode 1078 - Is the LIV stealing from the PGA tour? If they get a couple more of the top ranked guys they will have annihilated the lineup in the PGA tour. Don't get me wrong, there is a ton of great golfers still left in the PGA tour. But golf, unlike other sports, is only as good as it's players. If the LIV continues to steal top talent, they potentially could hijack what the PGA tour has built over decades.

Post Malone was just recently on the full send podcast. It was a great listen. The biggest thing that stuck out was that Post Malone is having problems sleeping. It's not a guarantee that he has sleep apnea but it sure does sound like it. Sleeping is so important to our health and we've made videos about the quality of sleep you get, and how I can change your life. Hopefully Post Malone gets this figured out quickly so that he can see great zzzzzz's just like us.

Episode 1076: The debate is stronger now than ever. Who is the better legacy player? Is it LeBron James or Stephen Curry? Stephen Curry now has just as many rings has LeBron James and is one of the best shooters that the game has ever seen. The style of play from the Golden State Warriors is infectious and entertaining to watch. The next couple seasons will be very important for each of these players legacies. On a side note, I sure hope LeBron James doesn't join the Warriors and settles this debate in the next couple years.

Episode 1075: in episode 1075 we discussed the four best exercises recommended by Ben Patrick, the knees over toes guy. He bring some unique training advice to rehabbing and strengthening your knee. This is an easy connection to make for the shoulder, but traditionally, the knee has always thought to have been something that you must be careful with. Tightness in the glutes and IT bands often were the focus for knee pain. Ben Patrick, however, focuses on rehabbing and strengthening the joint. Listen as we discuss these unique exercises and hopefully you understand how to add them to your training.   0:00 Intro  1:33 1st Exercise Sled or Partner Pulls  7:08 2nd Split Squat Loaded Knee  19:53 3rd Nordic Curls For Hamstrings  26:52 4th Tibialis Training

UFC 275 put on one of the best shows yet. The main event delivered both suspense and sorrow. Teixeira and Prochazka fought to the end and it was truly one of the best fights I've seen in quite some time. I was surprised to see Teixeira not actually retire after the fight. However, he looked great and I hope that he gets another title shot soon. Mathews also put on a great show and hats off to the Weili and Joanna in their epic rematch. 00:00 Glover Teixeira vs Jiri Prochazka Fight 10:55 Light Heavyweight’s Next Title Fight 20:41 Weili Zhang vs Joanna Jedrzejczyk 23:38 Valentina Shevchenko vs Taila Santos 34:45 Jake Mathews vs Andre Fialho

Congratulations to the Oklahoma Sooners Softball Team. They had a pretty amazing season to say the least. This included some immaculate pitching, and power at the plate. Their coaching staff kept them on top and motivated to repeat as national champs.

In this episode my brother tries to convince me to go watch Top Gun Maverick. I was never a big fan of the first movie, but to be honest, I've never seen it. Every time is it has ever come on TV I found it to be very boring. By the end of this discussion though, I may have to give it a shot. The movie trailer looks legit and he had just seen it.

A new study shows that intermittent fasting has no benefits over simple calorie restriction. There was no significant difference in the data linked between the two groups. Intermittent fasting is utilized to restrict your calories, but if you over eat during those meals, you will still gain weight or continue to remain the same weight. If you have ever attempted intermittent fasting I'm sure you have felt the benefits if you are able to maintain smaller meals during your eating window. During this episode we discuss several of these topics.   0:00 New Study Intermittent Fasting Doesn't Work  17:25 3 Reasons Intermittent Faster Can Be Used  33:28 The Ghrelin Monster

Digging into flow state has been very interesting. As most athletes can relate, flow state is that feeling at which you are performing at a high-level without stress. You can learn faster, perform at a higher level, and have improved memory during this state of mind. 

This is a great video done by The Science Project. He analyzed six exercises backed by science to be the greatest exercises for speed.   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L7OiZdmSoQg&t=10s There are tons of exercises that an athlete can complete to become more powerful and explosive. In this video we describe many modifications that young athletes should be doing in addition to these exercises as they get older. Often times youth athletes need a little more coaching than advanced level athletes. We offer several modifications to these exercises so even the youngest can help improve their performance. There are three key things you should be doing to get rid of soreness quickly. The first is elevate your heart rate and increase blood flow. The second is some dedicated stretching or rolling. Third, very light specific muscle group exercises. If your quads are extremely sore, then target them with some light exercise and your soreness will dissipate quickly. You can choose to be sore for multiple days, or get rid of it quickly with these methods.

A new arm swing study came out that was pretty well done. They controlled for a lot of factors, but the interpretation seemed to be more consistent with a non-athletic approach. The variation in speed difference they said was just under 2% within 30 meters. Their conclusion was the arm swing was not near as much of a factor as most would consider. However, when it comes to sports performance, I feel like this is a huge difference. To be an elite level athlete, you only need a step. Low testosterone? High intensity sprints have shown promise to raise testosterone levels. However, as we discussed, I feel as though there are many factors in most peoples lives that they need to address first. Do you have a caffeine addiction? Do you stay on your phone too long before bed? As the study suggests, sleep is a major part of healthy testosterone levels. You may just skip the sprints and work on your sleep! It is six pack season again! I'm sure everyone's social media feed is filled with the five best exercises to do for your six pack. The problem is, every exercise should be prefaced with a paragraph talking about calorie restriction. If your body fat is not low enough, you will never see a six pack. Save yourself the thousands of crunches and leg raises, and spend some time in the kitchen.

I was watching this fight with some friends and I couldn't help but compare it to some of his previous fights. To me, it seems as though Charles Oliveira is baiting these heavy hitters into swinging wildly. Don't get me wrong, it looks as though he has almost gotten caught with too big of a shot several times. However, if you notice as soon as he gets touched he drops to his back eliminating more damage. I wonder if this is not part of this tactic. Stand toe to toe, look for a knockout shot, and if you get hit hard drop back to eliminate damage. Most of these heavy hitters feel as though they have him at that point. It seems as though, he has a lot left in the tank at that point. He entices you to come back to the ground with him. If you decide not to, then you end up abandoning your game plan and search for the knockout. UFC 274 was a great showing for Michael Chandler. He's one of the most exciting fighters in the UFC right now. It seems as though in his last couple fights, he is getting knocked down easily. I wonder if some of these weight cuts as he has gotten a little bit older are becoming problematic. He is a big guy. Very muscular and I heard in a recent interview that he weighs between 180 and 195 pounds outside of fight camp. That's quite a drop to get ready for these fights. Do you think he will move up as he gets older or just keep fighting for the 155 pound weight class?

If you find yourself working out alone, a timer can be your best friend for motivation. You can design your workouts around a stopwatch or Tabata timer to help push the pace and motivate you through your workout. I've utilized this technique for years to help not only get the workout started, but to push yourself during the workout. Working out alone often times can lead to stagnant repetitions and terrible working sets. Try this technique out for yourself.

There are a ton of options out there for high schoolers to find employment. I'll say though, our summer job is the best for athletes. Become a lifeguard and have an open schedule for summer workouts and games. The hours are extremely flexible and you can still make more money than most of your peers. Not to mention, you will learn an amazing trade and work well under pressure.

In episode 1061 we discussed the importance for slower athletes to focus on progressing within their own skill set. Just because they are on the slower side compared to other athletes, doesn't mean that improvements in their speed won't help their development greatly. It is essential that they focus during speed training sessions to become the best athlete they can be and not be deterred by faster athletes. Young athletes should focus on developing their own personal skills to become the best that they can be.

I chased my athletic dreams through my entire childhood into college. However, I felt short of my overall goal trying to play professional baseball. Fortunately though, I have a positive outlook on life. I realized that my true passion, or my new passion, was the grind of training. It really was the grind of trying to be the very best that I could be. Overtime you gain perspective. I wish that all young athletes knew some of the things that I learned as I grew. Live in the moment, try to be the best athlete that you can be, quit trying to compare yourself to everyone else, and remember it may all be over soon.

Should you play catch every day? This is a question I get asked frequently. Playing catch every day should be the goal of any serious baseball player. Throwing accuracy requires touch. It requires rhythm and fluid mechanics. Your goal should be to throw every single day. Now, that comes with a caveat. You must train, or build up, to be able to throw everyday. If pain or tightness occurs, scale back throwing briefly to prevent injury. It's just like weight training. Athletes need to build up to be able to throw everyday to perform the best on the field.

Episode 1058 is filled with great reactions to several trending topics. The Tyson Fury fight was amazing followed by an interesting twist. Jake Paul and Bisping seems to have fizzled but the idea that they may fight is a crazy thought. I sure hope Michael Bisping doesn't end up taking the fight. He's such an amazing legend and I would hate to see him get in there damage his only good eye. We even discussed a new exercise study and the new Thor trailer that just came out.

Running hills seems to be all the rage in social media posts working out. The problem is a lot of young athletes have no business running on the hill. There are many creative speed and agility drills that you can complete that will enhance a young athlete's speed. It is essential that young athletes train for speed rather than just general conditioning during these short workouts. I'm not suggesting that you can never utilize a hill. Be creative training young athletes and help them have drive to be the best. Use timers, relays, and let the athlete know how many reps they are going to complete to get their maximal effort.

My friend Scott is a commodities trader. He trades goods all over the world. He has some great insight on the world of the supply chain issues. Listen as he discusses some of the issues involved in the supply chain and give some unique perspective on things to come in the near future.

Do you warm up properly? In episode 1055 we go over this topic. It's important that whether you're playing recreational sports, or competing at the highest level, you warm up properly. Getting your muscles ready for vigorous exercise is essential for optimal performance and injury prevention. A simple 10 to 15 minute mobility dynamic warm-up can make you perform better and prevent damage to your joints.

With a combination of 10 years of lifeguarding experience my brother and I think the same. Youngsters these days are out of their life jackets way too early. If they get tired and are not strong swimmers, it can lead to disaster. Pool seem to be the area where kids are out of their life jackets at way too early of an age. Just because you think your kid can swim doesn't mean they are confident enough if they get in a situation where they taking a little bit of water. Pools get deeper in certain areas and this is a huge problem. Please put your kids in lifejackets and keep them safe.

Could there be any more of a feel-good story this year for baseball? The trio is back together. Albert Pujols, Wainwright, and Molina all back on the St. Louis Cardinals. If this is the retirement party that they were waiting for, it is here and fans are loving it. I grew up in the St. Louis area and Albert Pujols is a big part of baseball in the city. It is such a great time to have the three back together for this 2022 season.

Is Elon's new artificial intelligence robot, Optimus, the end of the world as we know it? It's crazy to think, if he literally has solved artificial intelligence and can pair that with his ability to create robots at a mass level, it seems to me that we are literally looking at the Will Smith movie I Robot. All roads seem to lead towards a machine, or new species, being creative. Whether or not that species wants to live with us, is a different matter altogether. I'll tell you though, the time in between will be awesome!

Did the USF underdeliver? I'm not sure. I'm not sure yet if it is really offering something different than what other leagues have done before. A couple different rule changes that are generally barely ever used, and empty stands. Unfortunately that is what has happened in every league that has been generated outside the NFL. I was hoping to see a little bit more to the camera work. Drone footage would be awesome if used in a different way, but it didn't really seem much different than just utilizing the shot that's used on the pulley system. Overtime I'm sure they will practice with getting different angles but I was a little underwhelmed. I think the talent is there. The players played hard, and coaches will evolve as the season goes on. I'm just hoping that one of these leagues can get it right so that they can coexist with the NFL soon.

Super exciting times for the division. Usman says he is open to fighting Chimaev. This is huge news! Rather than holding onto the belt and fighting opponents that he knows he could beat, he is open to fighting and up and comer. Whenever this happens fight fans, like myself, have a whole lot to get excited about. If each of these guys get through their next fight, we're looking at a late summer tremendous matchup.

Addiction seem easier and easier to create as you get older. You form habits in your daily routine so easily now. Taking the kids to school, driving to work, and even making dinner. All those gaps in between seem to fill up with, more often than not, bad habits. I have been pretty stuck on energy drinks for sometime now. Two a day for probably longer than I would like to admit. Let's see if I can kick this with a trip just as I have done before.

I've known Marlin for nearly last 15 years and he is extremely passionate about slow pitch softball. As you get a little older though, often times, you have to give up the activities that you enjoy. Marlin has been able to continue playing into his mid 60s and doesn't look like he's slowing down anytime soon. Keep up those training routines and never stop moving!

In episode 1046 I had a great conversation with my brother. I find myself always asking my brother what to do in first aid situations just because it seems like the right thing to do. He is a firefighter and works in high-pressure situation's everyday. I thought it would be great to hear some first-hand advice on what you should do if you come across two different scenarios. One, if you are in a car wreck, or if you have some type of a pool situation with a child. They seem to be rather relevant to my life and most likely most of you. He told me to also recommend that you visit the Red Cross Training website for any specific questions that you may have in the future. It is pretty easy to get a CPR certification and or a first aid certification to be better equipped to handle these type of situation's. Below is a link to their website.   https://www.redcross.org/take-a-class

Say it isn't so. Two innings from a perfect game and Kershaw gets benched. Hopefully we hear of a real reason soon. How do you not want that as the athlete? How do you not want to finish that game? 80 pitches! You would think that he has enough left in the tank. I'm interested to see what comes in the next couple days because perfect game opportunities don't come around very often.

Crazy social media news today. Elon musk offers to buy Twitter and make it a private company. This could mean great things for social media platforms and content creators. This may be the first step towards greater freedom of speech and a fair playing field for all. It also may open the door to the Wild Wild West on the Internet. Censorship is one thing, but the world filled with conspiracies and false fictional stories is also definitely problematic. #elonmusk #twitter 

The Ukraine conflict is devastating. As more and more problems arise it seems as though energy has also come into the forefront of the conversation. Nuclear power plants can be a great source of energy, but can also be extremely dangerous. Within the last week we have seen territories taken over that are essential to maintain. Can nuclear energy truly be the power of the future if conflict can damage such a massive area for many years to come?

As time goes on I find everybody seems to have the same problems. Knees, backs, and shoulders all begin to hurt as we age. You can alleviate an awful lot of pain by maintaining full range of motion in specific muscle groups. Utilize this maintenance warm-up exercise routine before each workout. If you are not consistently working out, consider adding this to your week at least three times.  

UFC 273 was an amazing fight night. Three fights really delivered. Khamzat and Burns showed what it's like to sit toe to toe with another fighter that really wants to win. Burns is no slouch. He's lost a couple of his last fights but the top five in that weight division are some of the best fighters in the world. I think Khamzat got a little dose of humble pie on what the top guys in the world have to offer.   #ufc273

Episode 1042 was a great time with my brother Sam Theismann. We had some laughs and got into some helpful topics. We shared our thoughts with the finals and commented on how to bulletproof your body for the future. Finally, we closed with some exciting conspiracies.  #podcast #ncaa #injury #jfk Thanks For The Support - Please Like and Subscribe To The Channel   Check out my shop.

Episode 1041 is all about the NCAA tournament, Grammys, and our experiences habit forming throughout our lives. We dive into several other topics. I hope you enjoy today's episode.   #ncaabasketball #ncaa #thetrevortheismannshow  

In episode 1040 I had a great conversation with my friend Dominic. We've been friends for over a decade and have a lot in common. With a background in sports, graphic design, and fatherhood, we see I to eye on many of today's topics. During this episode we discuss the insane Will Smith smack event, youth sports, electric trucks, and even a little bit of our baseball path. Enjoy the episode.

I received this email about 10 years ago. I read it frequently throughout each year to keep my head on straight. It brings things into perspective. Life is short, and it is essential that we live it to the fullest. When you think of events that you attend, spend time reflecting on them as a once in a lifetime experience. You will never have that experience back. People will change, the way they interact will change, and health is always a major factor. Any trip you go on will never be the same. Every time you're hanging out with your family, you may never get that exact moment back again. Don't take life for granted and use this episode as a reminder each year to help you stay on track just as I do reading this email frequently.

Episode 1038 focuses on electric vehicles. My brother and I discussed vehicles that we may be interested in and the pitfalls that come with electric vehicles. We also have a little fun exploring the ideas of what self driving cars could mean for the future. Self driving cars may be the catalyst to a completely different infrastructure set up for personal travel.   #ev #tesla #thetrevortheismannshow  

Episode 1037 - Social media has become a big part of the family household. Whether you are going on a road trip, or sitting in front of the TV at night, young children seem to always find a way onto a device. Once you allow screen time to get out of hand, it seems to be a pain point every single day. In this podcast my brother and I discuss ideas that we have for social media, and where we wish it would go to help young children learn faster.   #socialmedia #thetrevortheismannshow Thanks For The Support - Please Like and Subscribe To The Channel  Check out my shop.

Episode 1036 is all about helping you save time on your trip to Breckenridge. You can spend nearly the entire day trying to get from one side of the resort to the other. That's what I did. By day three I had it pretty nailed down where I needed to be to have the fastest runs available in the conditions we were working with. Have a listen to my suggestions and let me know if I missed a peak in the comments.   #breck #ski   Thanks For The Support - Please Like and Subscribe To The Channel  Check out my shop.

Episode 1035 was a lot of fun. My brother and I discussed many of our experiences dealing with fat loss and the true essence of what gets results. I have a ton of experience working with younger athletes and older adults looking to lose fat. Through tons of hands-on experience I shed light on the things that really work. I have a masters in applied health sciences and nutrition, as well as, over 20 years of collecting data helping individuals manage their weight. There's a lot of shenanigans going on in the world of fitness and weight management. I hope in this discussion you will get a clear outline of what seems to be the true essence of how to get results. Most diets out there all have one common denominator, CALORIE RESTRICTION! No matter what game you decide to play, calorie restriction still occurs when you lose fat.    #fasting #intermittentfasting #thetrevortheismannshow Thanks For The Support - Please Like and Subscribe To The Channel  Check out my shop.

Overspeed Accelerator is a great training program that utilizes the reactive stretch cord. This tool has some special attributes. It specializes in encouraging stride frequency through overspeed training techniques. With the proper amount of resistance provided through the reactive stretch cord, athletes will build the skills necessary to accelerate. Throughout the video I give examples of things not to do like breaking and over striding. In addition, I take a detailed look at each exercise and give you advice on how to do each exercise properly.  Here is a link to the overspeed accelerator training program with a workout breakdown below the video.   https://kbandstraining.com/overspeed-accelerator-assisted-speed-training-program/  Here is a link to the Reactive Stretch Cord.  https://kbandstraining.com/buy-reactive-stretch-cord/    #rsc #kbandstraining #thetrevortheismannshow  Thanks For The Support - Please Like and Subscribe To The Channel  Check out my shop.

I had some surprising results with my 37 hour fast. Listen as I walk you through my experiences with this window of not eating. I was surprised the amount of water weight that I lost, and I am intrigued by what this potentially could mean for calorie restriction. Do not misinterpret my understanding of what a fast can really do for you. Calorie restricting, in essence, is what truly equates to weight loss and body composition. However, I will be experimenting with fasting to shrink my stomach and feel fuller on feeding days.

Pain is something that everyone has to deal with. Whether you injure yourself doing an every day task, or you're pushing your body to the limits, sooner or later you will come across an injury. Personal massage techniques have become a household item. Whether it be a massage gun, foam roller, or even a manual massage device, everyone seems to have one. In this video I outline the most effective massage devices that I have utilized and how I use each one daily. And future videos I will discuss in more detail which item is best for specific areas. Please like and subscribe the video to support my work.

This is a speed 101 walk-through. You receive speed 101 with an order of kbands. This is a great speed and agility workout that you can incorporate in season or out of season. Follow along as I detail the specific movements and techniques required to get the best results. I shed light on a lot of questions I've received from customers over the years and will be happy to answer any of your questions in the comments below the video.

In this episode we had a lot of fun discussing the simulation theory. It has been around since the early 2000s and is a fun topic to rack your brain with. Do we live in a simulation? I feel as though the dive into this topic sure does get your wheels spinning. It's fascinating to reflect on what the possible future holds, and the parallels between religion that seem to arise. As always we had a little fun discussing the mermaid documentary on the Discovery Channel, Shark Week disasters, skydiving and even retirement for the Rams lineman who got to go out on top. Share this with a friend that may be interested in the simulation theory and jump on YouTube where we can have a discussion in the comments.

The answer is yes! If you have skinny legs, or training a young individual with narrow hips, you can cut the Kbands leg straps to get rid of any excess fabric. They are designed to be able to be trimmed and have the same finished edge. Listen in the video as I discuss how to properly trim the leg straps to fit your user.  #KbandsTraining #Kbands #TheTrevorTheismannShow

I have been asked this question many times. The question is, how can I help a skinny young athlete build muscle and fill out? There are several tactics that you can utilize to improve your body mass as a young athlete. It can be rather difficult to increase size at a young age during a growth spurt. The best way to fill out is to have a plan. Tracking calories, improving the consumption of macros, and developing better daily habits will change your body mass dramatically. Listen as I discuss several tips that you can utilize to improve muscle mass and fill out more quickly.

Can you believe it? They are going to allow Kamila Valieva to compete even though she tested positive for performance-enhancing drugs. Research shows that the drugs utilized by Kamila Valieva offer an endurance increasing affect. The idea that she may have more endurance during her training leading up to the Olympics, and the Olympics themselves makes the Olympic committee's decision outrageous. There is no reason why she should be allowed to compete. What message does this send to all Olympic athletes in the future?

Could there have been a better halftime show at the Super Bowl? For those 80's and 90's babies, this was the epitome of entertainment. The culmination of pop culture throughout the early thousands was on full display during the Super Bowl LVI. This halftime show most definitely ranked within the top three halftime shows I've ever seen. Kudos to the entertainers for collaborating and keeping it clean enough to put on TV. What an amazing show!

Coinbase definitely receives the award for the best Super Bowl commercial in 2022. This commercial is subtle and a genius marketing strategy. It stirred up the room and was perfect for an environment full of chaos. With loud noises and chatter everywhere, this commercial brought everything to a halt. I would imagine that some even thought that the broadcast went out during the commercial. It was well timed and subtle. I have not heard anyone talk about other commercials outside of this one. It without a doubt, wins the award for best Super Bowl commercial on the Super Bowl LVI.

The question is, is turf ruining the game of football. We have seen more knee injuries since turf has been utilized on fields. Is the need for turf too easily maintain the field? Is turf utilized to increase the speed of the game? Is turf utilized to put on a better show for TV? It's interesting to think of all of the reasons that could be utilized aside from the health of the players. It seems as though organizations need to move back to normal grass. Grass gives and turf does not. It would be interesting to know what NFL football players feel about this concept. They play many games on normal grass and I would be interested to know their opinion.

Here is the first piece of our conversation about water heaters. I know it seems a little out of left field. We normally discuss workout advice and speed in agility, but today we had to inform you about how amazing a tankless water heater truly is. It definitely is more pricey than a standard tank water heater, but the difference is vast. If you have a large family there is no reason to ever have cold water again. This by far may be the biggest upgrade that you will encounter in your life. With daily showering and hot water usage at an all-time high, you will find this to be a massive improvement in your household.

In this podcast we discuss several things that we have encountered recently. We suggest replacing your water heater with a tankless water heater. Never running out of hot water is one of the best upgrades you can make to your home. Next, we dove into the Super Bowl and injuries. We even lingered into the crypto commercial that was really a perfect marketing strategy. Soon we touched on the music industry and how streaming services worked. And then finally we wrap it up with experiences and the minimum of what is considered the threshold of happiness.

Shoulder pain hits us all at some point in our life. It can come from overuse, or a sports injury. One trick that I have utilized to minimize my shoulder pain is by hanging. There has been a lot of research and a push in recent years to hang to relieve pain. I have been testing these methods for the past six months and I can successfully say it does in fact work. Not everyone can hang though. Either they are not strong enough or weigh too much. In this video I review several techniques that you can utilize to reap the benefits of hanging for your shoulder. You can utilize wrist straps, assistance resistance bands, or by standing. Listen as I discuss these techniques in greater detail to help stretch your shoulder and relieve pain. I hope this works for you as much as it has helped me. We all need a little range of motion.

What works best for the average Joe? Should you do volume training or more intense workouts? The real question is how often can you workout? I find that with having two young children, three days a week is all that I can commit to weight training. Over the past couple years I have shifted from a volume based workout schedule, to a Dorian Yates based method. I do not take steroids so I do not get enormous muscle gains as you may think. But Dorian Yates's workout methods work wonders for someone looking to get in shape. It's difficult to keep my mind focused on true muscle stimulus with volume training, but by utilizing his method of complete failure sets on a muscle group I have achieved great results. Mentally, I only have to focus on breaking down the muscle and then move on to the next muscle group. This method has cut my workout time dramatically and induced the same results.

Dorian Yates is the definition of dedication and goal driven. He recorded nearly every workout over the course of his career and has insane amounts of data to back his method of training. I too have tested his methods and applied it to a non-bodybuilder style workout program. At this point in my life I am no longer looking to build mass amounts of muscle. I am interested in staying healthy and mobile. Maintaining strength is important for the activities that I like to perform. I have found his high intensity workout regimen to be the most effective program to follow. With just three lifting days a week you can still receive tremendous results. Don't get it twisted. I do not take steroids and do not have that type of physique. I'm not suggesting that you'll be shredded and huge out of your mind, as for most individuals, it will require steroids. However, if you would like to have an athletic look, gain strength, and stay active into your 30's, 40's, and 50's the workout program discussed in this video is very effective. You do not need to exercise six days a week if you focus on intensity during training days. Listen as we discuss how we have utilize this training method in our daily lives.  #dorianyates #weightlifting #exercise

Pain is a funny thing. You can get pain from an overworked muscle, an acute injury, or something you have acquired over years of overuse. The problem with pain is that it never seems to truly go away. An injury that is rehabbed properly can go away. It seems as though, lingering inflammation and overuse from day-to-day life causes constant nagging. If you do not workout at all, you will still experience nagging pain. In my experience working with adults and children of all ages, working out can control the pain and improve quality of life. You can create soreness in areas that you need more blood flow. This blood flow leads to properly functioning muscles. A joint that does not want to move, if moved correctly and trained properly, can still function in every day life. On the other hand, if you leave a problem area alone, it seems to deteriorate quickly. To maintain a mobile body, controlling the pain and range of motion is essential. Listen as I discuss this concept in greater detail.

I don't give you this advice like every tech reviewer out there. I only give you this advice based on a decade of experience. No matter how much you do not want to upgrade your phone, it is inevitable. The battery technology as well as the performance of the phone declines so much over the course of 24 months that an upgrade becomes a necessity. Of course, if you do not use your iPhone that much, then you will be fine. For a majority of us, though, we are heavy users. The battery decline is enormous after about 14 months. This simple fact alone causes most to upgrade right away. For those of you like me, who like to save money, always hesitate buying the new phone. What I have found over the last 10 years is basically I end up buying the new phone shortly after the payment process stops anyway. So if you are going to completely embrace buying a new phone every year, don't wait, just buy it. The payment plans have become basically a TV subscription fee. Just upgrade and move on with your life. Well, that's the way I feel about it now.

There are three things that you should be looking for as your youth athlete grows. Are they laughing? Do they continue to play the sports that they love with their friends? Are they asking for gifts during the holidays revolving around their sport? Youth athletics are supposed to be fun. We as parents need to keep it that way. Without these three things occurring, it is very possible that your youth athlete is burnt out. Don't allow "fun" to leave your child's experience. Sports are supposed to help young minds grow into healthy adults. Utilize these three tips to keep your child having fun during athletics.

I searched and searched and searched for this video. I was trying to figure out whether or not I wanted a wake boat or a forward facing drive bowrider. As far as internet research goes, they both seem to be a great option for wake surfing behind a boat. After watching tons of videos and attending the 2022 Kansas City Boat Show I finally have come to my conclusion. The question is which boat is right for you? Do you enjoy the massive wave behind the newer subfloor ballast wake boats? Or, are you more interested in a walkway, tons of storage, and a competitive surf wave for the family? I find myself coming to the realization that we will not be professional wake surfers and I believe the forward drive to be a better fit for my family. Let me explain the pros and cons of each boat and why I have come to my conclusion.

The Yamaha 275 SD is a beautiful boat. It has a magnificent walk-through design and comfortable seating. The driver's seat is filled with technology that make it's boating experience one of a kind. It also includes an amazing hardtop tower that gives the people on your boat tons of shade. One major drawback is that it is a jet boat and can suck up things in the water that will leave you stranded. If you can pull the things out of the impellers then you can be well on your way. If you come across something that is jammed in, you will find yourself stranded. With a boat full of people this can be an absolute nightmare. Another major drawback is the tow point angle of this specific tower. It can be great for surfing, but you will lose the ability to complete other water sport activities. The angle at which the Bimini is in relationship to the tow point, limits the amount a rider can cut out. This is a flawed design that even the dealers spoke about at the 2022 boat show.

The Malibu 2022 M220 is a beautiful boat. It has a lot of amenities that would be great for families to enjoy their magnificent surf wave. However, with the slide out lounging chair moved out of the way, the floor has a major issue. It drops down dramatically when you put weight on the floor just above the engine. I watched several individuals walk on this area during the 2022 Kansas City Boat Show and is a major design flaw in my opinion. Movement in the flooring on a brand new boat is a major turn off for me. There are an awful lot of perks within the design as well though. An amazing cockpit, wonderful rear view seating for surfing, and thoughtful design throughout the driver's seat. The Malibu offers one of the best surf waves in the business but will not be my choice in 2022.

The Crownline Surf series is a wonderful addition to the forward drive Volvo Penta lineup through the boating community. It offers a spacious well thought out interior and a lounging area for the family. The weight of the boat allows for a larger wave with the surf series additional ballast. If you are looking to move your family into the wake surfing era, you should stop and look at the Crownline lineup. Unlike wake boats, the interior design is very user-friendly for families. The seats are comfortable and the sound system is amazing. It offers spacious storage and a comfortable ride. I think the Crownline might be the wake boat that I see in my future.

The 2022 Chaparral Surf Boat puts together one of the best forward drive style surf boats out there. With its enormous lounging area and fold out deck it delivers an amazing swim experience while coving out. The surf wave is also well designed with the Malibu surf system. Overall a magnificent boat but the price point is a bit of a pain point. The chaparral boats do not offer the best amenities for the price. Overall I would agree that it is a great boat but probably not the option for me.

The Regal LS6 Surf Boat is an amazing surfing format. With the forward Volvo drive, the prop is out of the way for swimming behind the boat. It also gives families the ability to take part in the hottest trend in boats, surfing. The Regal is well designed and the finish is top notch. Of all the available surf boats, the Regal LS6 Surf has many dynamic features that make this rank among the best options for families looking to get into surfing. It is not exactly the most price friendly, but it does offer a variety of perks that other boat brands do not include. Listen as I walk through the advantages and disadvantages of owning a regal LS six Surf.

I attended the boat show over the weekend and I had to share my thoughts. Here are the reasons why I will not be buying a cobalt this year. Mainly! The price is insane. Overall though, it is a very fancy well designed boat. There are a couple elements that the design could've been better. Specifically the front seat is much too close to the dash and I was not a huge fan of the lowering rear deck mechanisms that is easily kickable by small children. Be sure to subscribe so that you can see the rest of the boats that I have coming next.

I trained for athletics my entire youth and young adult life. I then transition to fitness training for adults. One thing that I wish that I would have known more about as a young athlete would've been sleep and nutrition. The problem is, kids can know as much about these topics as they want. There is tons of information out there that they can learn, but it is still up to the parents to cook the meals and order the food. If you want your athlete to perform at their best, then you must help feed the engine. Learn about nutrition and feed your kids by cooking the correct meals. Give them options that are easy and full of nutrition.

The first step to performance for a youth athlete must be a focus on hips, core, and stability. Above all else having above average coordination is the key to youth athletics. Weightlifting and continuous speed and agility training will be all for none without the proper core and hip strength. It is essential that parents and young athletes work to build coordination and balance to actually reap the benefits of the next level of training. Listen as I explain how to optimize the first step you should take when training for a youth athletics.

What a game! I witnessed literally the best NFL football game between the Chiefs and the Bills this past weekend. The overtime controversy is an interesting thing to reflect on. There's so much history in the game of football, like many sports, they make it very difficult to change rules. However, I think that altering the overtime rules, to give the people more of what they want, would be an amazing change. I suggest having a quarterback duel similar to the Pro Bowl. With a little bit of time and brainstorming I think a format could be created that would benefit the game greatly. Listen as I brainstorm thoughts of this change and please leave a comment if you'd like to go back-and-forth about your ideas.

I get this question several times a year. Whether it be by email, or a phone call, parents want to know when they can start training their kids. Often times, I find that parents are beginning a little too early with most of their athletes. In this video I will go through my recommendations on how to know when your child is ready to start training. There are lots of things you can do without weights in these early stages and other things to consider.

Have you struggled with exercise? Do you wonder how much you really need to be doing? I've tracked hundreds of individuals that I've trained to see the results working out three days a week. I myself have trained all different types of formats. Whether it be a fully committed seven day a week workout regimen, or a minimalistic approach, two days a week training all out. It seems to me that a three day a week workout regimen with focused exercises is the most effective for individuals in their 20's 30's 40's and 50's. It helps keep your diet on point because you are consistently exercising, but also is a much more manageable schedule that you will actually do. Listen as I discuss in greater detail my findings.

One of my favorite topics is sit down hydrofoiling. I've spent many hours on the seat of one of these amazing inventions and I have to say that if I wish I knew how to crash better earlier, I would have saved myself a lot of injuries. So here it is! Let me explain to you the best way that you can crash. Use this method early while learning and save yourself a lot of pain and discomfort.

I thought we would have a little fun with this video. Often times a trip comes up that requires you to be in shape. In this video I will explain how I cycle an activity style experience into my training. It's important that I've trained the right muscles to be able to have the best experience on this trip. Going on a ski trip is not not some thing that I get to do often, so to be able to have the most fun without injuring myself is very important to me. Throughout the video I will explain how my workout regimen will change and what plan I have to be in the best shape at the right time.

Here's my reactions to the Joe Rogan interview he had with Ben Patrick. His knees over toes channel has many videos describing his exercise techniques and how he builds knee strength. His story is insanely intriguing and some of his workout recommendations show some merit. I've been following his information for several months now and have incorporated, and tested, many of us exercise recommendations. Here's my reaction to the interview and my thoughts on the exercises that he recommends.

Using the scale in the morning and at night has been a great tip that I have used with hundreds of clients over the years. It allows accountability on a day-to-day basis. When I had clients only jump on the scale in the mornings they would often times be stagnant for long periods of time. When I added the weigh in during the evening it changed the game. Individuals could see on a daily basis if they were eating too much to truly get results. Listen as I discuss how this can help you, how you should utilize the scale, and the reasons why it works.

Children and weight lifting! There is nothing more nerve-racking than your child moving into weight lifting when you're not sure about weight lifting itself. Of course you do you want to trust the coaches and trainers that are working with your kids, but it's not always that easy.

Throughout this video I will demonstrate some suggestions that I have to help your kids get the best results and give you peace of mind preventing injuries.
