How to Build a Power Athlete with NFL Veteran John Welbourn S17Ep5 - The Competition Series

<p><span style="font-weight: 300;">John Welbourn joins Scott & Matt to discuss his journey from skinny kid to NFL athlete to fitness figure trying to share the benefits of strength & fitness. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 300;">John Welbourn enjoyed a long career in the NFL, in part because of his dedication in the gym and in the kitchen. He ate healthy foods, being an early adopter of the paleo diet, and saw the benefits on the field from getting strong in the gym. He also got a degree in rhetoric, of all things, certainly flying in the face of the typical big, strong guy stereotype. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 300;">As he transitioned out of the NFL, he found CrossFit and initially bought into the idea of metabolic fitness serving as the base to build a well-rounded general fitness, but quickly realized that strength offers a better base upon which to add metabolic conditioning (think of someone with a 405 clean & jerk doing Grace--30 135lb clean & jerks--versus someone with a 185 clean & jerk, regardless of if the weaker person is better conditioned).</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 300;">Despite John’s elite performance, he has a lot of practical wisdom and ultimately decided to use his knowledge and skills to help everyday people, not just act like the elite strength plans should be followed by novices.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 300;">GET STARTED with one-on-one online coaching FOR FREE!</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 300;">Get your FIRST MONTH FREE on all strength and nutrition coaching plans.  No discount code needed and includes a 10-day, no obligation trial. </span> <a href="https://bit.ly/2MKeOoh"><span style= "font-weight: 300;">https://bit.ly/2MKeOoh</span></a></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 300;">Special offers from BLOC and our partners: </span> <a href= "https://barbell-logic.com/offers/"><span style= "font-weight: 300;">https://barbell-logic.com/offers/</span></a></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 300;">Connect with the hosts</span></p> <ul>
