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 scrupulums.

It's time for some knowledge bombs.

Hey, everyone, and thanks for tuning into another episode of Power Athlete Radio. This week we are joined by coach, lifter, musician, and legend Jim Wendler. Jim was nice enough to indulge us for a lengthy conversation about his training ethos and its origins. We discussed the culture of sports and how unique the team dynamic really is,

and Jim appropriately makes note of, and I'm paraphrasing here,

how the people outside the culture try to dictate how the culture should behave.

After some football reminiscing, we have to explain to Jim just how an up-down is really called a burpee now

and that people actually voluntarily do them for conditioning. His response, of course,

is priceless. If you're like me, you're probably wondering what Jim thinks about the

popularity of the now-wisively used 531 method. Find out what he really thinks about the

implementation and

how he navigates questions like

Can you 531 wall balls?

Finally, hear what's new

with Jim and what is on his agenda

for 2015. Get your

pencil and paper ready to jot down some

of the most quotable Wendlerisms

including this one. Quote,

most of your problems could be solved if you just took a shit and thought about it for 10 seconds.
