Transcript: EP104 – Is Core Training Overrated? Plus, Garbage Time in the Weight Room



Hey there, Dan Blewett here. Thanks so much for tuning in before we get started, I want to share a little bit about a new project of mine. Early work is an online strength training program created as a collaboration between myself and one of my good friends, coach Andrew Sacks. So in the early work program, obviously my YouTube skills are coming in handy here.



You’re going to get 4k quality videos. Great audio of me and coach Sacks, teaching every exercise in the program, workouts change monthly, and he and I collaborate to build each new month as the program changes and evolves in season off season. Just trying to make sure players peak and are at their best at every point of the year.



So between the two of us, we have 20 plus years of experience training baseball players. I was a baseball Academy owner strength coach. Andrew’s still. A strength coach owns a facility here in the Baltimore area, and our program has three different plans, one for individuals, one for families. So that includes your extended family and one for teams.



So no matter who you are and who you’re looking for a program for, we’ve got a plan for you. So if you want to try the program out, we offer a 14 day free trial, so you can sign up. Get to work, try it out in your local gym. See if it fits your life and your goals and all that good stuff. Obviously we stand by it.



We’ve been doing this a long time, so give it a shot today. Try the early work strength program. We know you’re going to love it.
