Between 2 Racks
Between 2 Racks is a strength training podcast from KILO, a coach-led education company built to support personal trainers and strength coaches who want a deeper, more durable understanding of training.
The goal is simple: create a home for sound knowledge. Not trends, not shortcuts, and not recycled talking points.
Each episode explores program design, loading, periodization, and coaching decisions through real-world application. We focus on what holds up over time, where theory breaks down in practice, and how coaches can make better decisions for the people they train.
Hosted by experienced coaches with decades spent in private training, performance settings, and long-term athlete development, the conversations are practical, honest, and grounded in principle.
If you are a coach looking for clarity, depth, and a place to think critically about training, Between 2 Racks is that space.
Let’s kick it!

Strength Ratios: Understand, Apply and Optimize
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Strength ratios are often talked about, but how well are they truly understood? In this episode, we break down the concept of strength ratios—where they come from, what they actually mean, and how they vary across different sports and training goals.
We explore their role in programming and why not everyone agrees on the same ratios. You’ll also hear about common ways people misinterpret or misapply strength ratios, how they function as qualifiers for other lifts, and the most frequent weak links that need attention.
Whether you’ve been using strength ratios for years or just heard about them, this discussion will help you refine your approach and better understand their value in building balanced, resilient trainees. Tune in for a no-nonsense, practical guide to Strength Ratios!
