Welcome to The Trainer’s Scoop! In Episode 90. I’m rejoined by Jack Quint, who is the perfect guest to address a topic that I see causing a lot of chatter in the fitness industry right now — “are science based training methodologies going too far?”  We’ve seen a major uptick in people that claim to be science based both in the gym and online, and as great as it is to incorporate science into any pursuit, misunderstanding its application can result in some big issues with your progress toward achieving your fitness goals.  So I wanted to answer the, “How do I use science to achieve my goals,” conversation with Jack, who has a Masters Degree in an Exercise Science, making him well versed in interpreting studies, and having conducted research himself. Our goal for the episode was to help you develop the framework that you can use to integrate science into your fitness, without losing the plot Here’s the timestamps! 0:00 - 10:30 -  Continuing Education Programs for Trainers 10:30 - 23:30 - What is Evidence Based?  23:30 - 35:00 - Has Science Based Gone Too Far?  35:00 - 41:30 - Experience Is Important  41:30 - 55:00 - Examining Various Camps in Fitness 55:00 - 1:04:00 - Does it Matter?  1:04:00 - 1:15:00 - Good Practitioners  1:15:00 - 1:28:30 - Keep THIS in Mind Thank you all so much for watching/listening!  Be sure to follow Jack:  https://www.instagram.com/jackquintfitness/ Fitness Science Explained: https://www.amazon.com/dp/1938895460/?bestFormat=true&k=fitness%20science%20explained&ref_=nb_sb_ss_w_scx-ent-pd-bk-d_de_k0_1_23&crid=2GRBQFI0GUSL4&sprefix=fitness%20science%20explain Share this episode around with your friends and family!
