The Passive Hang - Episode 41 - Joel Mullen - A Teacher who Moves People

Joel Mullen (@move_or_be_moved) join us on the Passive Hang! Joel is the head strength coach at Movement Co, a massive facility in Perth, Australia. Joel describes himself simply as a personal trainer - but his experience and knowledge suggests a lot lot more.

Joel is a straight talker, no BS here, and we start off with the challenges of navigating the modern day movement scene, before jumping into a basic principled approach for developing strength and strength programming. We touch on some fiery topics such as training strength for transferability, and also the whole bodyweight strength vs barbell method thing. 

Joel has spent a lot of time thinking about how to communicate and help people with outcomes. We dig into his process of how to motivate someone, and the hard question - how does one become a good teacher? His thoughts are useful for a lot of other teachers out there - how do we help people help themselves.
