In this episode of Between 2 Racks with the KILO Crew, we’re joined by Gavin Attorre (@gavinattorre) of Muscle Intelligence to unpack what it really means to coach with intelligence, where systems meet skill, and structure serves individuality.
We explore how time spent on the gym floor builds instincts and awareness that no textbook can replace, and how great coaches use those experiences to refine their craft. Gavin shares insights from years of coaching, breaking down how to blend precision with adaptability in real-world coaching.
We dig into how great coaches think, the value of building systems that enhance creativity (not limit it), and why communication, consistency, and self-awareness drive long-term progress for both clients and coaches.
Key Topics:
- The evolution of coaching systems and intelligent training
- Building skill, awareness, and adaptability as a coach
- Why individualization beats cookie-cutter programming
- How to create structure that supports creativity
