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!

Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Dive into this week’s installment of Rapid Fire Q&A, where we tackle viewer-submitted questions on a wide range of training topics. From foundational concepts to our hot takes to practical advice, we bring clarity and insights to the table.
We begin by examining the meaning of training saturation and its relevance to periodization. Then, we shift focus to the off-season training habits of NFL players, examining recurring injuries and what might be missing in their preparation. Do you have clients asking to train only once a week? We share our hot take on the importance of frequency for building results.
Next, we take a closer look at the role of Smith machines in strength training and when they might be beneficial (or not). For those struggling with knee or hip issues during squats, we provide alternative exercises to effectively train the lower body, particularly the quads. Finally, we weigh in on programming with horizontal row machines versus standard row machines and offer guidance on maximizing their effectiveness.
Whether you’re a coach fielding similar questions from clients or a fitness enthusiast eager to level up your knowledge, this episode delivers actionable advice you can apply today. Hit play now to join the conversation!
