#412 How Westside Training Saved Me From 4 Years of Cancer | Kalil Sherrod

One heavy squat at 400 pounds was all Kalil Sherrod needed to know the poison hadn't won.

Seven weeks before this recording, Kalil walked into elitefts HQ to hit his first major milestone since a brutal cancer diagnosis. That moment bridged the gap between his life as an elite performance coach and his reality as a survivor. Through two stem cell transplants and multiple rounds of high-intensity chemotherapy, he developed a conjugate-based survival blueprint—one that reinforces a hard truth: muscle mass is one of the most powerful insurance policies for the human body.

Inside the Episode:

  • The 93% Rule: Why maintaining a high performance floor matters more than chasing a peak during a competitive season
  • Conjugate for the Court: Applying Westside methodology to basketball players without sacrificing vertical jump or shooting touch
  • Training Through the Storm: How Kalil adjusted his training split during "ICE" chemotherapy to preserve lean tissue
  • The Youth Development Gap: Why the loss of PE and martial arts is producing more fragile athletes—and how to reverse it
  • The IV Protocol: A critical hydration strategy often overlooked during medical treatment

Meet the Guest:

Kalil Sherrod is a high-performance coach, author, and founder of Revenants Coaching. A former Division II basketball player, he serves as a Sports Performance Coach for the Thailand Titans and works with athletes at The Spot Athletics.

He is the author of The Basketball Player's Training Guide and co-author of the elitefts eBook Mastering Conjugate Programming for Athletes. After surviving Hodgkin's Lymphoma, Kalil has dedicated his work to helping athletes and survivors use strength as a foundation for resilience.
