S5E10: Angus Bradley on GPP, the BPS Model, and Creating Lifelong Fitness Enthusiasts

Michelle and Tim have talked about this a fair amount on recent podcasts but if you’re someone, like them, who tends to go pretty deep down biomechanical rabbit holes there’s a tendency to “lose sight” of what we love about fitness and rehab in the first place. When Tim starts to feel that existential dread creeping up, there’s three names in our field that are a surefire panacea for rekindling his stoke to train and get people moving and feeling better; David Grey, Joel Smith, and, today’s guest, Angus Bradley.

Angus (the King of General Physical Preparedness) is an Australian podcaster, educator, and physical preparation coach. He co-hosts the Hypeperformance, all one word, podcast which has made its way into Tim’s listening rotation over the past year or so. Angus has a wide-spanning knowledge base from both in and outside of the strength and conditioning field, with a focus on inter-disciplinary over-arching principles. He works with a diverse crowd from strongman to surfing and runs regular mentorships for strength coaches and personal trainers.

In this conversation Tim and Angus dive into the tension between biomechanical perfectionism a la FMS/PRI/UHPC and the BPS model, utilizing strategies for either end of that continuum to best help the client in front of you, Angus’s unique take on GPP and what he feels is plaguing the gen pop fitness industry in general, guiding clients for non-chalant about exercise to stark-raving fitness lunatics, cornering people at parties to talk about the gait cycle, and much, much more.
