In this episode of the Pacey Performance Podcast I am speaking to legend of the game, Mike Boyle. Mike's book Advances in Functional Training was the first S&C book that I bought back in 2012 and was also one of the main influences behind why I started the podcast itself. It was great to get such a legend on the show and with everything that Mike has done over the years it was a real privilege to pick his brains and have a chat.

In this episode you will learn -

• Who is Mike Boyle (background, experience and current role[s])
• Why Mike doesn't back squat is athletes anymore
• Why Mike doesn't use the hip thrust
• Mike's thoughts on Nordics
• Why static stretching is still important

This is a part 2 with Tim after I enjoyed speaking to him so much in part 1 and it was so well received.

• Defining and using the term 'thatching'
• Cleansing to move forward, make room for growth
• Prioritisation
• Coach health
• Why 168 is the magic number
