0:00.0 | You're listening to Power Athlete Radio, a podcast dedicated to empowering your performance every |
0:06.9 | damn day. Join former NFL Pro and Power Athlete founder John Wellborn as he dissects the |
0:13.5 | greatest minds in strength, conditioning, and more. So whether your goal is to be the hammer, |
0:19.3 | destroy mediocrity, or simply move the dirt, you've come to the right place. |
0:24.5 | Now with the warm up done, let the gains begin. |

1:52.1 | So the situation is that all throughout athletics, all through it from pee-wee football to a the retiring pro no one seems to be able to tell the |
