This week I had the pleasure of chatting with James Thayer — educator, coach, and host of his own podcast, Paint the Edges.

From the start, it was clear we share the same philosophy: every exercise in a program should have a purpose. It’s not just about filling space on the page — it’s about building something that actually works, and fits into the bigger picture.

If you’ve ever wondered how top coaches make smart programming decisions, or how to cut through the latest training “hacks” and fads, this one’s for you.

We covered:
✅ The thought process behind exercise selection
✅ When (and why) to swap out an exercise
✅ How to handle trends & fads without losing sight of the basics
…plus a few tangents to keep things fun 😅
