This episode brings such an opportunity, introducing you to our special guest, Brett Jones - Strong First Director of Education. Brett's journey is both captivating and inspiring.
Brett’s unique wisdom on strength training offers a fresh perspective. He navigates us through the importance of building your practice and focus on strength as a skill. Our conversation unfolds as Brett recounts his personal journey of overcoming cancer. His pathway to recovery involved bodyweight training and the ‘Iron Cardio Protocol’ a strategy that can serve as a beacon of hope for many.
“Iron Cardio is a story of one man’s triumph over adversity—and a guide to your future strength and conditioning success. I would be hard pressed to find a reader who would not benefit from this book.”

– Pavel Tsatsouline, the author of Kettlebell Simple & Sinister

This episode goes beyond muscle building and strength conditioning. Brett and I deliberate on the often-underemphasized aspects of fitness - lifestyle and aesthetics. We advocate for a shift in narrative; from exercising for appearance to exercising for optimal performance and overall wellbeing. We highlight the importance of sleep, hydration, nutrition, and stress management, all crucial elements when striving for fitness goals.
If you seek a fresh outlook on strength training or simply looking for an inspiring journey, this episode promises to deliver both.
