Because you love the sport.

To enter the competitive realm of shot put, some of the strongest weightroom benchmarks are required. But once you've achieved that base level of strength something else must takeover. Adam Nelson [@AdamNelson5376] is a world class shot putter and one strong motherfucker but even he will tell you that chasing numbers in the gym will only distract you from the specific task at hand. Nelson puts it best when he says that lifting is like a drug, the way it makes you feel, the instant gratification, but like any stimulant - you can become dependent on it. It's only after becoming injured benching that he was exposed to rehab that improved his athleticism tenfold.

This week's guest is no stranger to struggle. Hear Adam discuss how each decision he made in his career was calculated with personal integrity at the top of the list - a rare quality in a culture steeped in performance enhancing drugs. Hear his fascinating journey to the top of track and field and his forthcoming philosophy about what taints the success and hard work.

EMPOWER YOUR PERFORMANCE.

If you were blown away by Adam Nelson's mindset and training philosophy like I was, get to following him on instagram @@AdamNelson5376 or Twitter @AdamMcNelson. And keep your eyes peeled for his "Feats of Strength" website. With Festivus just around the corner, I may just have to submit my own.

Special shout out to anyone who attended the 2016 Power Athlete Symposium, particularly all of our amazing guest speakers. Minds were blown all weekend.

A Program Born Out of Necessity.

Greg Walsh [@WolfBrigadeGym] is part of a movement for responsible strength and conditioning. With a background in MMA, Greg is no stranger to the uphill battle of arbitrary conditioning and spotty strength work. Now he's focused on making better movers through his gym and training program, Wolf Brigade. In comparing his own dedication to performance to coaching your average gym-goer, Greg is acutely aware of the struggle that continues to plague the majority: Commitment.

In this episode, Greg walks us through a brief history of how he came to discover his own coaching ethos through personal experiences and inspiration as an early adopter of CrossFit. After coaching for many years in Long Beach he went back to his roots in Rochester, NY to put his evolved methodology into play. Greg is now the successful owner and operator of Wolf Brigade Gym and training system where he preaches the effectiveness of getting after it with awkward implements and emphasizing unilateral strength work.

Fear Controls Every Thing.

Defense tactics consist of so much more than reaction time and training. Take a look into the mind of guest, Tony Blauer [@TonyBlauer], to find out just how big a factor fear plays in our every day life. This fascinating conversation with the founder of Blauer Tactical Systems truly enlightens The Crew with amazing anecdotes and mental toughness diagnostics. The more you know about your own perceptions and biases, the easier you can predict your susceptibility to the unknown. Furthermore, knowing your own fear and facing it head on will expose your weaknesses allowing you to train to address them.

The conversation inevitably turns towards the recent election. Recorded just days after the results, The Crew and Blauer sit back and pontificate on the how's and why's of the interesting turn of events. Tony discusses how we can be hyper aware of our own fear with regard to politics and media, and hopefully, conquer it.

Equipping yourself with a winning mindset and ability to manage fear will allow you to exceed your own expectations. This is just one takeaway from this week's surprisingly philosophical, and not surprisingly deadly, guest Tony Blauer.

EMPOWER YOUR PERFORMANCE.

As we say at Power Athlete, there is a superficial and deep meaning to virtually all aspects of training. I hope everyone was as pumped as I was to hear Tony discuss the mental and lifestyle applications of training self defense. If you want to hear more from Tony, or attend any number of his seminars, head to www.BlauerSpear.com or follow him on instagram under his namesake, @TonyBlauer.
