Hey everyone, thanks for tuning in to Power Athlete Radio.

This week we welcome The Man, the Myth, the Legend, Ed Kozner.

This former rugby player, Highland Games competitor, and Powerlifter, has coached pro athletes

of nearly every background. He still bangs

weights almost daily and assists with developing the strength and conditioning programs of rugby

teams worldwide. When you've done as much as Coach Kozner, you have a few remarkable stories

to tell. Some Koznerisms include his affinity for dynamic work with Plyo Medballs and his belief in stretching regularly.

Ed talks about how you can measure a lot of things in performance, but you can't measure toughness.

This is the kind of insight that can only come from working with the best and most dedicated performers in sport.

What inspired the creation of the Triple XL stout t-shirt size and why does he like

in the thought of his personal over-speed training to rolling a can of beans downhill? And finally,

we get Luke's explanation as to why his claim that he is medically allergic to the deadlift

is legit. This is episode 169. Power Athlete Nation, what is up?

You have John, Tex, and Luke in a hot, steamy room in Southern California.

The current temperature in the room is 79 degrees.

We're going to heat that up with this show of

power, or this episode of Power Athlete Radio, the premier podcast in strength and conditioning.

It's true. If you keep saying it over and over again, eventually people will start believing

you. They were. They were. And then you just blew it. No, no, no, no, no. But I think we're actually,

see, here's what Texas isn't getting. We've been saying that line as well for the past like six weeks. That's part of the joke. Texark Forrest doesn't get the repeat. Yeah, well, he doesn't like to beat a dead horse, which is why he'll never make it as a professional strength coach. Enough about us, enough about the show, because that doesn doesn't matter it is just a platform to connect

you our listeners with the world's best trained coaches and brightest minds uh in various industries
