The Dave Gerhardt Podcast

I invited my friend Adam Picard (@coachpic_802) on for an episode. Adam is a personal trainer, the son of a couple of bodybuilders (his Mom and Dad were both bodybuilders), a former D1 baseball player, and now a TPI certified golf fitness instructor. I've been training with Adam for a year now and he's become a good friend. He's taken his love for sports and fitness and channeled into golf and it's something we've bonded over. I wasn't nearly as a good of a college athlete as Adam (I rode the bench at small D1 school and Adam was a four year baseball star a bigger D1 program in the Northeast). We talk about fitness, how the body moves, and the rise of golf specific training and fitness and our experience with it. Even if you're not a golfer, don't skip this episode. There's a lot in here that will be interesting to anyone that is into working out (separate from golf) or if you've been thinking "I really need to get back into working out" I think this episode will be helpful.

Some things mentioned in this episode:
  • Cardio (and not running)
  • Why I quit golf
  • Moving from Boston to Vermont
  • How I got into golf again
  • How we met (Adam's Mom is my bookkeeper and I had no idea)
  • Bodybuilding, growing up around lifting and fitness
  • When did Adam's Dad let him start lifting weights as as kid?
  • Reasons for working out as a guy in my mid-30s
  • Deadlifts
  • Baseball
  • TPI
  • Where most of us are weak and limited
  • Golf + specific fitness
  • Golf goals
  • A bunch of random stories
