Introduction and Guest Background

Welcome to the ATP Project, the personal trainer's trainer. In today's podcast, Matt, Steve and I interview Master Coach Luke Lehman from Muscle Nerds and what I describe as a holistic master trainer who applies fact-based research into best practices for training, nutrition and performance. Luke lays out what he believes is missing in the industry and how Muscle Nerds approaches many of the high-level issues facing PTs and their clients today, such as the controversial topic of how best to use cardio to burn fat, maximizing performance through training and nutrition that does not believe in a one-size-fits-all approach. We cover a lot of ground over training, getting past a plateau, high-intensity training versus steady-state cardio, supplementation, as well as testing out Luke's knowledge on some listener FAQs.
