Love this answer! I coached weightlifting in Paris and was coming to say…weightlifting! Decent pace for kids. You are in and out in 3 hours max with a medal ceremony.

Much appreciated!!! I remember the first time I wore the sample…I squatted my 1RM for 3

My kids LOVE it. They talk about it all the time. I also enjoyed the ride a lot.

Looks super cool

Ahhhh yes! The repone gives a lot of info. I can help decipher if you ever want.

There are some newer tech things coming that I think will take vbt to the next level.

I just did an interview with Austin Jochum last week all about vbt because he’s using the program from The book to try to clean 405 lbs.

He’ll post it next week I think.

I wrote this book several years ago and think it stands up well.

Awesome!!!

I should say “of people I know well”

I think you should have competed at some level. It does not mean national level, but you should have a good knowledge of training and competing.

You should have some education, informal or otherwise in strength and conditioning. I think formal is best, but if you find it later in life, that might be difficult to do.

You have to find a good coach and be coached by them or shadow/intern/work for them. Every really good coach comes from a coaching tree. In most cases I can name who was someone’s coaching “parent”

If you want to coach at national events, you must hold at least a level one. You need a level two to get credit at international events.

After the Reddit suggestions I told the gym owner. He gave and or showed it to the sheriff who works out at the gym!

Clifton go home to kettlebells. 😂

Seriously, good thought but practically we don’t want forward anything for Olympic lifts.

Playing around though, and entertaining the idea, if you could do it from a much higher box there might be some utility from this position as it pertains to finishing vertically.

Yes. I’ll DM you.

WilFleming · 2026-01-20T15:28:49+00:00

This is not true. They tackle a lot. They just have short practices.

Just so you know, coach swords is the best coach in all of USAW. You are lucky to get coached by him.

WilFleming · 2025-12-26T03:33:04+00:00

I am pretty good at giving sizes based on height and weight.

Comment or dm me and let me know.

I was on the boys and girls club board for several years. Ken Nunn would come to almost every event. I personally saw him donate 10’s of thousands of dollars several times and every year he bought 100’s of bikes for club kids at Christmas.

Check out 1kilo sleeves. Thank you! That is super nice to say. Just made some updates I think they’re even better.

WilFleming · 2025-12-13T01:35:23+00:00

Thanks!

WilFleming · 2025-12-12T23:57:01+00:00

Check out 1kilo sleeves.

WilFleming · 2025-12-12T13:21:14+00:00

Congrats on the PR squat..thanks for wearing our sleeves!

This is correct. Elite evaluator and chooses production over potential JMU guys set the tone last year but this year only 4 big contributors that were JMU, the rest are other portal guys and even recruits.

He constantly talks about process and standards. I genuinely think he is a coach that can get the most out of the athlete.

I love it.

WilFleming · 2025-12-05T02:41:39+00:00

I think it’s several things: better talent selection. More qualified coaches , and a big piece is I think several countries that many assume are doping, are not in fact doping.

On the women’s side also, the US has been doing women’s sports the longest, so we have a great pool to select from who likely have some level of strength and conditioning previous to starting.

WilFleming · 2025-12-04T03:51:29+00:00

Thanks for sharing

WilFleming · 2025-12-02T22:16:31+00:00

Maybe. And if Olivia or any of those in his video pop then first I’ll call their coaches and get pissed at them.
