Summary

John Welbourn joins Scott & Matt to discuss his journey from skinny kid to NFL athlete to fitness figure trying to share the benefits of strength & fitness. 

John Welbourn enjoyed a long career in the NFL, in part because of his dedication in the gym and in the kitchen. He ate healthy foods, being an early adopter of the paleo diet, and saw the benefits on the field from getting strong in the gym. He also got a degree in rhetoric, of all things, certainly flying in the face of the typical big, strong guy stereotype. 

As he transitioned out of the NFL, he found CrossFit and initially bought into the idea of metabolic fitness serving as the base to build a well-rounded general fitness, but quickly realized that strength offers a better base upon which to add metabolic conditioning (think of someone with a 405 clean & jerk doing Grace--30 135lb clean & jerks--versus someone with a 185 clean & jerk, regardless of if the weaker person is better conditioned).

Despite John's elite performance, he has a lot of practical wisdom and ultimately decided to use his knowledge and skills to help everyday people, not just act like the elite strength plans should be followed by novices.

Hey listeners, this is normally when we would talk about a holiday sale or how

0:07.4

now is the right time to start with online coaching because of how much money

0:10.5

you can save. However, as I met with our marketing team earlier this month to

0:14.8

discuss promotional ideas, we found ourselves focusing on the ideal outcomes

0:19.3

for people who want to work with a coach and that called to mind how many of

0:23.1

our clients got into this for the form corrections and ended up making real

0:27.8

life transformations through strength training. We realized that the ideal

0:31.9

barbell logic client is not afraid of hard work. They don't just have goals, they

0:36.5

are driven by continual self-improvement. They pursue strength because they

0:40.7

care deeply about the people who they love who depend on them. We know that

0:45.6

price is always a consideration when it comes to deciding to sign up for

0:48.9

something. But our successful clients tell us that in addition to carefully

0:53.0

deciding where to invest their money, they're also very intentional about how they

0:57.3

invest their time. And when you care about your time that much, there is fear that

1:01.8

you could waste your time and not see the results you want. If any of this sounds

1:05.9

like you, I'm here to make you a promise. You give us six months of two to four

1:10.8

workouts a week and if you don't see changes in your strength or form, we will

1:14.9

give you all of your money back. That's all six months. The worst case scenario is

1:20.2

it ends up costing you nothing. The best case scenario is you invest in yourself

1:24.7

and you get exactly what you want out of your training. The only risk is about

on yourself. It's time to place that bet and put your money where your goals are.
