Your training should match your goals — but what happens when those goals go beyond PRs? In this episode of Beast Over Burden, we show you how to adapt strength training for any goal, whether that means balancing swim workouts with barbell lifts, building knee resilience for high-altitude hunting, or nailing the StrongFirst kettlebell snatch test.
Through three in-depth case studies, you'll hear exactly how we adjusted programming to fit real-life demands:
-
Reducing gym volume for a competitive swimmer in peak season
-
Using high-bar squats, pause squats, and rucking to prepare a hunter for steep terrain
-
Prioritizing kettlebell snatch work without sacrificing barbell strength
We cover how to use the SAID Principle to match your training to your outcome, what to change in your volume and intensity when another sport takes priority, and how to manage recovery so you can perform when it matters most.
Whether you lift for performance, adventure, or everyday life, you'll walk away knowing how to adapt strength training for any goal without losing the muscle, strength, and motivation you've worked hard to build.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
