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

Maybe you've noticed the trend of intelligent strength and conditioning infiltrating

one of the most regarded niche of athlete, the military.

In an environment where instructors try to find the delicate balance between physical and

psychological stress, many miss the mark entirely. The result can be as benign as inhibited

performance gains and as severe as chronic injury. But luckily, our guest, Ranger veteran

and TSAC program manager Nate Palin, is leading the charge to equip military and

LEO athletes with the knowledge to develop more effective soldiers and first responders.

And now for a quick word about the Johnny Wad training camp on April 26 and 27th.

To me, it sounds like one big pillow fight disguised as a full-on brofest, which I'm inclined

to like the sound of both, to be honest. But basically, you're going to turn up in Dripping Springs, Texas. You're going to train hard, you're going to eat super fucking hard, and you're going to cuddle even harder. That's right. Johnny Wed brings a whole new meaning to the term meat sweats. And there's only one way to really experience it, and that's live, in person, and shirtless. So if you're feeling

uncomfortable, beer will be provided, and I think several dozen of those will help take the edge off.

If you like the sound of that, and I know you do, check out events.powerathlethq.com for more
