247: Kurt Hester: Strength & Conditioning “Madman”
STRONG Life Podcast ep. 247 with Kurt Hester. WOW, what an awesome episode with Kurt who is in his late 50s (I always say he looks like he's 32) and crushing it as a Coach.

As a Coach, Kurt is improving every day and has had decades and decades of experience at both the … [Read more...]
Building Stronger, Tougher & Faster Athletes: Eventually, Athletes Need a Heavy Bar on their Back

Now, parents are afraid to send kids to a gym and we have everyone locked down in a "safety bubble" You see, many athletes took it upon themselves to do NOTHING during the COVID … [Read more...]

This phrase has been misused and abused beyond recognition and it IS needed because kids are not outside playing. The local Basketball court in my town has been empty since I moved here 9 years ago. NEVER have I seen a pick up game of Basketball at this court. Here and there some kids are shooting around but nothing … [Read more...]
High School STRONG: Building Hammers Through A Safe & Effective Strength & Performance Program
The High School Athlete of today is MUCH different than the high school athlete of yester-year. When I started training HS athletes in the mid 90s and early 2000s, they showed up capable and ready to go. They were able to perform the calisthenics quite well. They were tough. They had muscle on their frame and looked like they were capable of performing in athletics. That was around 2002. A few years later, the new breed of high school athlete began to show up. This athlete was … [Read more...]
