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 scampulas.

Hey, everyone. Thanks for tuning into Power Athlete Radio. This week we have Jim Bathurst of Beast Skills.

Jim brings a rare insight into the world of strength and conditioning because his specialty

lies in the niche world of acrobatics, gymnastics, and grip training.

Hear how he got his start by mastering a parlor trick and his subsequent journey to

becoming a recognized resource in the genre of obscure badassery.

Jim also coaches our listeners up on how to incorporate random skill work into genpop programming

Lots of great info coming at you in episode 92 of Power Athlete Radio.

Man, it's been ages ago now.
