Summary

In this week's show, Tom brings back his coach - multiple-time champion strongwoman Jenny Todd - to talk through methods that you can use to get the most progress from your time in the gym.

Often the soundbite advice that is given to those who aren't making as much progress in the gym as they'd like is to simply train harder (or at least that's what we expect it to be) but as you'll see throughout this deep-dive, often the real solution is a little more broad than that.

Jenny has coaches athletes from beginners to The World's Strongest Woman, and her knowledge and expertise really shines through in this show which covers technical mastery, planned progression, the importance of intention during your session, training to failure, and active recovery.

Whether you're brand new to the gym or an intermediate trainer with serious goals, there's definitely something for you this week so break out a notepad!

0:40.0	I'm a strength coach, mostly online programming for strength athletes, generally they're all female because I used to compete in strong woman.

1:53.0	And people who are interested in health and fitness tend to exercise in some form or other and a lot of the listeners therefore will go to the gym.
2:00.0	And so what I wanted to do today is just talk a little bit about how a person can get the most out of their training.
2:07.0	There are a lot of people listening to this who by and large will be going to the gym between two and five times a week, putting in as much effort as they possibly can.
