Andrew Jackson and the Barbell Logic Team: https://barbell-logic.com/

Today I’m joined by strength coach Andrew Jackson from Barbell Logic. We talk about why so many people leave the gym frustrated, injured, or disappointed, even when they’re trying hard.

We break down the difference between exercise (moving for health and enjoyment) and training (structured work toward a specific goal), why good programming and objective coaching matter, and how unclear expectations can quietly push people toward overtraining, restriction, and burnout. I also share why, despite nearly 20 years in the fitness industry, hiring the right coach was essential for preparing for my recent kettlebell certification with StrongFirst. 

This episode gets a little nerdy, but the takeaway is simple. If you want movement to support your life rather than control it, clarity matters!
