The Nomad Strength Show

Hunting season is right around the corner, which means it's time to be getting plans made, gear acquired, and weapons dialed in. As a new bowhunter, I have been relying on a lot of people much smarter than myself to help me feel prepared to hit the mountains this September, and my guest today is one of them. Ben Eipert is a technical wizard and engineer for Vector Arrows, a company challenging the norm by building by building arrows custom to the customer's individual measurements and set up. We had a great talk for today's episode and it was really educational for me. Ben explained a lot of the nuance that goes into getting your archery set up dialed in and what it really takes to be a successful hunter and shooter. This will be a great episode for anyone wanting to learn more about the technical aspects of archery and setting up your bow.

There has always been a special connection between Man and Nature. It is innate; something we often can't explain. Getting out and experiencing the stillness of the air and the sounds of the trees and animals cannot be replicated. When you add in the focus and adrenaline of the pursuit of an animal, there are things you feel that you can't explain. Today I'm joined by Christian Williams of Archery Strong. Christian is a returning guest on the show and we get into some really fun conversation about the importance of hunting to us as humans, and men specifically.

I had the pleasure for today's episode of catching up with fantastic coach, and my friend, Greg Walsh of Wolf Brigade Gym. This time around, Greg and I had a lot to catch up on, and as our conversations often do, we went down some rabbit holes.

Today's episode is a one you are going to need a pen and pad for some vigorous note taking. In health and fitness there are many things on the fringe that are considered too "out there" for the mainstream Strength and Conditioning world. If you've listened to this podcast before, its not a surprise that that is exactly what attracted me to my guest today, Cory Bell. Cory has worked in several S&C programs at various levels, and is now the head strength coach at his alma matter, West Orange-Stark in Texas. In today's episode we are diving deep into the world of frequencies, and not the amount of times you train in a week, but actual audio frequencies and the effect they have on your body for training, recovery, healing, and a host of other things. This is an ancient practice and Cory is working to bring it to performance and athletics and has had some pretty amazing results. This was such a fun conversation and I really enjoyed going down some fun rabbit holes. Enjoy this one!

Whenever I get the chance to dive really deep and nerd out on programming and development, I love it. When I met today's guest, Derek Woodske, at Winterstrong a couple months ago, I knew I would have the same conversations with him. Funny enough though, we spent a great deal of time connecting over Montana, North Idaho and the part of the country we both love so much. This episode started a bit like that as well, but we quickly got into a lot of great areas of the things that have changed in athlete development in the last few decades. Derek gives some great insight into what is working now, and how to apply a lot of these ideas into an athlete's program. For any coaches out there, or anyone interested in the nuts and bolts of training, you'll love this conversation.

While it is not lost on me that you have found this podcast and other Nomad Strength internet happenings via extraordinary technology, there is something to be said for the connection and meaning found in traditional, handmade items. My guest today absolutely walks that walk, and in this episode with Correy Hawk, we talk about just that. Correy is a professional bowyer, former marine, homesteader, and survivalist. We get into a lot of things in this episode I didn't necessarily intend on when I asked Correy to come on, but I'm glad we did, because it was just honest conversation about where we are. HIGHLIGHTS: -Correy's journey into making traditional wooden bows and what cultures inspire his designs -The downfalls of technology in archery, and everything else... -How to approach developing new skills, and motivating yourself to start This was a great conversation that I know you will get a lot from.

We're diving into my favorite training tool again today! We've had several guests appear on the show who have expressed the sentiment we are covering with this episode. We love kettlebells, and know how beneficial they can be, so what is one thing that most people aren't doing with them? Training with heavy bells! I'm going to break down my approach to heavy bell training and some great starting points for anyone no matter their experience with them. The common perception is that bells are a great, light conditioning tool, and I'm here to tell you that is straight up fake news. Get strong with them, and have fun doing it. Cheers!

In the social media landscape, the hunting community is often facing an uphill battle. The idea of posting pictures of animals you've killed will always bring certain comments and messages, no matter how well its done. However, what happens when the negative feedback is coming from within the hunting community? My guest today deals with this conundrum frequently. Zach Owens is an avid outdoorsman, bow hunter, trapper, husband, and father. Zach takes heat online because of the animals he hunts, predators, specifically wolves. I was really excited to be able to sit down with Zach and talk about why predator management is such a key part of the hunting landscape if we wish to have thriving numbers of other game animals. He provides great insight into that topic, and why he truly loves these animals in a way that most don't understand. Enjoy!

I recently made a pilgrimage down to the woods of South Carolina to attend WinterStrong, an event put on by the team at Sorinex. I'd heard about how special this weekend was, but wasn't able to grasp the full concept until I was there. The conversations were epic, and I came away with so many things to implement. For this episode though, rather than talk about each individual "thing" we did, I wanted to go over the big things I came away from the weekend with. These are concepts that have already improved my interactions with people, and I know can have the same effect with anyone. Enjoy.
