Red Dot Fitness Programs: rdfprograms.com Today's questions: My hip flexor muscles feel very tight and I’ve been stretching them 4-5 days/wk for months. Initially it seemed to help them feel less tight. But, after that I can’t seem to make any progress. Any suggestions?I’m starting PHASE 4 of RDF MAX and wondering why I’m not doing any of the traditional BB power exercises, like Cleans or snatches? Can you explain?How long should I stay with my strength training program before I switch to something else like physique or power based training?I’ve been training consistently for nearly 7 years now. I take my training, nutrition, and recovery very seriously, and I’m currently the strongest and fittest I’ve ever been. I’ve reached a point where making the big jumps in muscle and strength have really slowed down and I’m frustrated. What tips do you have for how to jumpstart that process for me again, or should I just get used to this?I’m going into a 4wk mini-cut with my diet with the goal of dropping 10lbs. What tips do you have for making this as successful as possible?My shoulder mobility sucks! Period. I know it’s a problem and I know it limits me but I’m not going to dedicate a ton of time that I already struggle to find in order to do a bunch of rehab exercises to fix this. If there was one or two things I could do each workout that could make a difference without taking away time from what I’m already doing?

Welcome back to the Iron Sights podcast where Travis Gribble of My Arena and Greg Grogan of The Overwatch Collective are joining me for an in depth discussion around some pretty serious topics. The focus of today's discussion revolves around an impactful presentation both Greg and Travis delivered to the first responder and military community titled "Be Here Tomorrow." Travis, with 24 years as a law enforcement officer, including significant time on a tier one SWAT team and leading that team, shares his experiences. These aren't just heroic tales; they dive into the darker moments, incidents that are a severe reality of the profession. I must warn you, these stories are intense and may be disturbing to some listeners, but they serve a purpose... The heart of the matter is mental health and wellness among first responders and military personnel, ultimately addressing suicide prevention. Travis's journey and the stories he recounts shed light on why he is committed to the impactful work he does today. This episode is not just a conversation; it's a call to action.

Today on the show, I sit down with Don Edwards, a prominent figure in the firearms training space. His journey caught my attention early on with his ability to assemble a diverse group of professional and specialized instructors. This summer, I had the privilege of not just meeting Don but also training with him. Originally planned as a podcast during that time, circumstances led to a delay, and here we are in Las Vegas at Shot Show 2024. It's been a whirlwind couple of days with intense conversations in energetic environments. This episode, however, is not your typical deep dive into Don's expertise in night vision technology, an area where he's widely recognized. Instead, I wanted to uncover the layers of Don Edwards—what drives him, his journey from past to present, and where he envisions heading in the future. This isn't just about firearms; it's about the man behind them!
