In this episode of Coach Em Up, Tim Riley chops it up with performance coach Justin King — a guy who went from dreaming about abs to coaching Olympic gold medalists, NFL athletes, professional bodybuilders, and building his own brand, Built Better.

Justin opens up about the early days: obsessively attending Charles Poliquin seminars at 17, scraping together money from his grandma to invest in world-class mentorship, and his route to success without ever getting a CSCS.

They get into what really matters in the strength and conditioning world — results, obsession, and putting athletes first. Justin also shares game-changing insights on structural balance, hypertrophy myths, and his secret to counter chronic turf toe. If you’re a coach, athlete, or just someone hungry to learn and level up, this episode is loaded with perspective, laughs, and practical takeaways.
