STRONG Life Podcast ep. 188 with my Dude, John Welbourn from Power Athlete. This episode covers little in the realm of training / strength & conditioning and instead, Johnny & I chat about the meaning of life and lessons we've learned as we "get older". I gotta tell ya, I could talk with Johnny ALL day without stopping, very few guys I connect with who keep it real like Welbourn. In fact, we did chat all night in Philly a few years back and unfortunately, it was no recorded due to … [Read more...]

What a day..... What a night..... I left the house at 2:30 PM to drive to Philly to meet up with John Welbourn & Tex from Power Athlete HQ.

I believe things came to a close around 5:15 PM. From there, we headed to U Penn to meet up with Jim Steel, the Head Strength & Conditioning Coach. I had spoken with Jim many times … [Read more...]

What "special program" do you need if you can't perform light weights with the barbell basics and calisthenics? The answer is, you do NOT need a special program. You need to MASTER the bodyweight basics. Still arguing … [Read more...]
