What Louie Simmons, Gary V, and Eric Cressey All Have In Common w/ Jordan Syatt, Anders Varner, Doug Larson, and Kenny Santucci — Barbell Shrugged #392

Jordan Syatt is the owner, operator, and main contributor to Syatt Fitness. While Jordan covers a variety of topics, he mainly focus on subjects relating to powerlifting, strength training, fat loss, and athletic performance. If you're looking to improve strength, athletic performance and/or body composition…you've made it to the right place.

Jordan is a 5x World Record Powerlifter as well as a Precision Nutrition and Westside Barbell Certified coach. He's been featured in a variety of media publications including CNN, The Huffington Post, Men's Fitness Magazine, Schwarzenegger.com, T-Nation.com and he has a Bachelors of Science in Health & Behavior Science with a focus in Strength & Conditioning. Training and nutrition aside, Jordan is obsessed with travelling, is a huge mama's boy and, given one wish, he would be a wizard.

In this episode of Barbell Shrugged we talk about Jordans background, learning the science of coaching, what the goal is when working with professional athletes, the importance of internships, gym language, why putting out free content is so valuable, celebrity fitness and traveling with clients, why you have no excuse to give up and quit, and much more.

Enjoy!
