Athletes looking to gain weight: Go to Publix and get a rotisserie chicken and a packet of Uncle Ben’s Rice. It takes 5 minutes to consume, it costs less than $10, and you’re looking at: 1500 calories, 160g protein, 70g carbs. I used to eat this meal 10-15x/week. Eat.

Strength is the limiting factor for most youth athletes. The unknowing will argue & say “no, it’s speed.” Speed is often the most desired quality, however youth athletes often lack the requisite strength to produce the force necessary to get faster. Strength is Speed.

I’m not selling workouts. You can get those for free off the internet. They likely won’t work well, but you can find ‘em. Im selling the investment of myself into your life to enhance your life experience. And you won’t find anybody who works harder for you.

It’s easy one time. But can you do it every day? For years? For decades? You can’t. We LIVE what they talk about. Every. Damn. Day. 🔨🇺🇸🫡

Your success as a Strength Coach directly correlates to your ability to drown out and stay away from the bullshit. Can you do boring stuff extraordinarily well, consistently, for an extremely long period of time? If you can, you’ll win by default.

In today���s world simply having your kids do physically hard things, consistently, will give them a huge edge. What was once a societal expectation is now a massive differentiator. The kids who do hard things develop a work ethic, discipline, & resilience. And they win, too.

It’s not the squats. It’s the act of doing hard things. It’s not 3x5 or 4x8. It’s the discipline getting all your reps, develops. It’s not a faster 40 time. It’s the accountability required that contributed to faster sprint times. The game isn’t checkers. It’s chess.

People don’t buy what you do. They buy why you do it. The culture at Zingler Strength is like something I’ve never been a part of. And it has very, very little to with me. Thank you guys. This is Zingler Strength!

Want proof that strength matters? We’ve literally had to change the rules of football because strength training works so well. You think the physical capacities of athletes have increased the way they have over the last 20 years because of ladder & cone drills? Strength wins.
