Just Do Your F***ing Job - Nate Harvey

In this episode, I sit down with Nate Harvey. Nate and I first met at a powerlifting meet in Rochester, NY and when he was serving as the Head Strength and Conditioning Coach at the University of Buffalo, I’d always beg him to come and let me train in the school’s weight room to break up my 8hr drive to and from Ottawa and Pittsburgh.  We go WAY back!

Nate developed his vast athletic history as the former head strength coach of Olympic sports at The State University of New York at Buffalo. During his 10 years at UB, he coached their first-ever national champion (shot put), four team conference champions (one back-to-back), eight of the school's twelve total All-Americans, 18 Olympic trial qualifiers, over 50 individual conference champions, 16 individual national qualifiers, and over 75 individual regional qualifiers using the conjugate method. He was also a strength and conditioning consultant for the New York Jets. He was certified in Reflexive Performance Reset in February 2017. His best total is 2,450 in the 308 weight class multi-ply division. In the 275-pound class, his best total is 2,250 sans supraspinatus. 

His best lifts are a 1,000-pound squat, a 750-pound bench, and a 750-pound deadlift. He is currently accepting online clients and doing on site consulting with high schools and college Strength and Conditioning departments. Nate looks forward to helping address all of your equipment needs.
