Hey everyone. Thanks for tuning into Power Athlete Radio. This week, the crew answers your

questions from Instagram, questions such as how to activate your front delts during bench press,

eating with abandon when you're full, and what to do if you find yourself playing tennis without

pockets. Luke Texan John provides some pretty creative hints on where to store those balls

during the match. While this episode is packed with a ton of good questions and informative answers,

some of the best info, in my opinion, is at the tail end. Gym owners are often tasked with the most difficult challenge of pleasing the masses while

doing no harm.

And all of this comes at a time when the novice athlete likens optimal results with feeling

absolutely torched after every training session.

If you've listened to us before, our response to this should come as no surprise.

More often than not, members are in it for the short-term superficial results and will play that tune until their goddamn wheels fall off.

But for the few who view strength as a multi-year endeavor, they know that training is as much an exercise of patience as it is as forging the physical manifestation.

To those power athletes, we salute you.

This is episode 216.

Ladies and gentlemen, it is that time of week again, where Luke in text bring you a very special episode of Power Athlete Radio, the premier podcast in strength and conditioning.

Texx, I'm excited about our guests today. I'm not going to lie. I mean, you know, it's very rarely we get to hear him speak.

Well, I will say this. We just got a comment on Instagram that we posted that people just cheersed us because, you know, we bring out the best in guests. Yes. Even though their subjects may be dry or they're scientists and we just bring out the best of them. So I'm excited to have our guests and we hope to, you know, maybe get them talking. Yeah, stir up conversation. Today we have John Wellborn. John is a 10-year NFL veteran. 100 career starts, 10 playoff appearances. Eagles Chiefs and Page. You guys honestly have the worst sense of humor. And you know what? Texas straight delivery is not very straight because he's laughing the whole time. I know. But they don't know that. We're the new Cali. What's kind of funny is Tex just learned what humor was last week. So we're helping to help him develop it. I know. But they all know that. He's the new Cali. What's kind of funny is, Tex just learned what humor was last week.

So we're helping to help him develop it. Help me, help you. Help me help you, Tex. So, you know, when we found Tex is a young boy in Bangladesh, and we brought him in and nurtured him at Luke's bosom to learn the craft of power athlete. and he's really grown into a, you know, five-foot-seven.

Tex was an aspiring sheepdog.

Uh... learn the craft of power athlete, and he's really grown into a, you know, five-plus-seven.

Tex was an aspiring sheepdog, running around the fields of Bangladesh.

Real shaggy.
