Get started with my FREE bodyweight training program Body Basics which requires no equipment by going to https://subscribepage.com/bodybasics On this episode of the podcast, I am joined by Dr. Wes Hendricks (@drweshendricks on Instagram), an online movement coach and the co-host of Movement Athlete podcast. I invited him to State of Health to ask about his direct and to the point feedback approach to coaching. Dr. Hendricks is an accomplished calisthenics practitioner and many of his clients look to get strong and learn similar bodyweight skills such as muscle ups or one arm chin ups. As these are long term pursuits, we talked about how he sets expectations with clients about the length of time it will take to reach them. In addition to the direct and to the point feedback, Dr. Hendricks strives to be a professional coach by personalizing each program to the individual client, providing quick and detailed responses during communication and never missing a deadline to establish a trusted coach-client relationship. We talked about injuries and how they inform his approach of using standards for training clients. He also shared his 85% capacity principle as a way of individualizing his programs. Topics near the latter third of the podcast included why we both like training clients, the drawbacks of training only bodyweight skills, differences between our own training and how we train clients and one principle in fitness that Dr. Hendricks has changed his mind about recently.
