In this episode of the PerformWell Podcast, we dive into one of our favourite topics, training styles, past and present. We unpack the evolution of fitness programming, comparing science-based lifting methods with old-school, traditional approaches.
We talk about why it’s not always about one or the other, but how blending both can actually get you the best results. It all comes down to intent, purpose, and knowing when (and how) to push or pull back.
We also dig into our personal experiences, the value of time under the bar, and why just following trends, like Hyrox, won’t necessarily get you where you want to go. If you care about training smart, not just hard, this episode is for you.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
