In this episode, we sit down with David Abernethy, high-profile strength coach, athlete, and co-founder of Tsunami Barbell. With nearly 25 years of experience as a college athlete and coach at schools like Methodist, Western Carolina, Clemson, Ole Miss, Western Kentucky, and Furman, David has shaped the performance of countless athletes — from Eli Manning to future pros across multiple sports.

We dive into:
• The coaching journey from college sidelines to building Tsunami Barbell
• Working with legends, including the Harbaugh family and Louie Simmons’ influence
• The Speed Force Max Training System and Iron Disciples nonprofit
• How fascia training, AR, and oscillation improve performance
• Conjugate principles in the weight room and training that actually carries over to sport
