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!

What Coaches Outgrow: Lessons From Experience
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode of Between 2 Racks, the KILO Crew breaks down what coaches tend to outgrow with experience, and why those shifts matter more than new methods or trends.
From letting go of perfection, novelty, and short-term thinking to rethinking hypertrophy, nutrition, and “perfect programs,” this conversation explores how real coaching priorities change after years on the gym floor.
We discuss why confidence comes from results, not constant change, how principles outlast trends, and why consistency, recovery, and long-term thinking matter more than advanced methods used too early.
This episode is a reminder that experience doesn’t add complexity, it removes noise, and that good coaching is built through patience, repetition, and learning what actually matters over time.
