This is Power Athlete Radio.

With your host, Denny K.

Professor Booey and the Luke Summers.

And now toes forward, hips locked,

shoulders set, and retract those scoundulums.

It's time for some knowledge bombs.

Hey everyone, thanks for tuning into Power Athlete Radio.

This week we are so pumped to share our chat with Matt Wichlinski.

He's the head strength and conditioning coach at the WW.W.E. Performance Center in Orlando, Florida.

As you'll hear, Matt is responsible for making the mediocre athletes stronger and keeping the strongest most prized wrestlers safe.

In a sport where theatrical performance often trumps athletic performance, coach which Linsky strikes the appropriate balance to ensure

the success of these men and women. It's not difficult to get Matt heated on a number of subjects.

This verbose character is reminiscent of past guests such as Zach Avenesh. He explains to the crew

what it's like to work with the personalities of the WWE and how like any client coach relationship, some are better

than others. Ultimately, it's the ones with the strongest work ethic whose success trickles into

all facets of life. Matt is a huge proponent for simple training. He believes that to become a better

athlete, you must be consistent in order to perfect the basics of strength training.

This ethos echoes into his approach to sports-specific programming in that the program must

prioritize competition over training. As you'll hear, his struggles with the WWE are no different

than what we see in traditional high school or college weight rooms. I'm so excited to bring you this invigorating chat with the one and only, Matt Wichlinski.

Here's episode 120.

I'm smoking.
