Most of our podcasts we’ve dedicated to psychology and the strengthening of the mind. We didn’t neglect the body on purpose. In our opinion real training begins in the mind so we started there first. If you have been listening, taking notes, and incorporating some of the lessons you’ve learned into your life you’re probably finding yourself much more “put together” upstairs. So now it’s time to focus on the body. In this episode of “The Maximus Podcast” your hosts Joe Cebula and Bobby Maximus discuss the basics of setting up a training plan. They discuss goal setting, standards, macro and micro programming. Get your note pad out. This one moves at a fast and furious place.
