Preparation

Blanch trimmed green beans in boiling water for 3–4 minutes until slightly tender but still crisp. Drain and set aside.

In a large skillet, melt butter or tallow over medium heat. Sauté onion, garlic, and mushrooms for 3–4 minutes until softened. Stir in chicken broth, heavy cream, Dijon, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Simmer 5 minutes until slightly thickened.

Preheat oven to 375°F. In a greased baking dish, layer chicken and green beans. Pour cream mixture evenly over the top. Sprinkle with mozzarella and Parmesan.

Bake uncovered for 20–25 minutes, until cheese is bubbling and golden.

Remove from oven and top with crumbled bacon and crushed pork rinds. Garnish with parsley if desired.

Go for as many total reps as possible. Partition and rotate however you like, without doing two reps of anything in a row.

Compare to last Saturday, note which exercise you did the most of, and REMOVE IT from the list for today. If you didn’t do last Saturday, keep all 4 exercises and go for the full 30 minutes.

Post total number of reps of each exercise completed to comments.

Coach Glassman explains that new trainers often worry too much about perfectly fixing a friend’s or client’s poor movement, when the real heart of effective coaching isn’t technical mastery but attitude, experience, and creating an environment people enjoy.

He argues that obsessing over nuanced mechanics—an obsession often held by people without real clients—does little to build a successful gym or produce better results. Instead, he explains that coaching should feel more like a celebration than a physics lesson: teach the basic movements, correct faults when you see them, get people working out, and let experience guide the development of your own approach.
