Episode Summary: After a long break, Steven Davis is back with guest Tris Cason. In this episode, they dive into what it really takes to design an effective training program that fits your goals, your lifestyle, and your current limitations. From assessments to exercise selection, Steven and Tris break down how they approach coaching so you can better understand your own fitness journey.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

• ✅ Why the first step in training is taking a real history—past training, injuries, motivation, and barriers to success.

• ✅ The importance of assessments (passive vs. active) and what they reveal about mobility, stability, and strength.

• ✅ The most common pain points (low back, shoulders, knees) and how proper programming can reduce injury risk.

• ✅ How foot pressure, breathing, and core control affect everything from squats to deadlifts.

• ✅ Why machines are king for building muscle (but how to adapt if you only have dumbbells).

• ✅ How to structure your workouts whether you train 2, 3, or 4 days per week—and why “less” can still deliver results.

• ✅ Why core training isn’t just crunches—and how to brace the right way for performance and longevity.

Key Quote from Steven:

“Every exercise requires core strength—but not every exercise builds core strength.”

• Hyrox training and how to balance strength and conditioning.

• Foot pressure and body mechanics in squats and hinges.
