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!

Unlock the power of simplicity in this episode of "Basic & Brilliant: Strength Training Fundamentals That Never Fail." We dig deep into why the tried-and-true basics of strength training have stood the test of time and why they remain the backbone of any successful program.
What exactly are “the basics,” and why are they often misunderstood as “too simple”? We break it all down, exploring how patience and precision turn simplicity into strength. Basics does not just apply to exercises, there are basic principles to periodization and programming as well.
You'll gain insights into key programming principles, including the inverse relationship between volume and intensity and how to understand it effectively. Learn why prioritizing movement patterns over isolated muscle groups brings clarity and efficiency to your training, and discover how to spot the difference between a program that’s “basic but brilliant” and one that’s just plain lazy.
Whether you’re a coach refining your knowledge or a fitness enthusiast looking to understand strength programming better, this episode is packed with actionable takeaways to elevate your approach. Press play now and start building smarter, stronger programs today!
