Physical Preparation Podcast Archives - Robertson Training Systems Joe Kenn on the Evolution of Strength and Conditioning
You know some guests really need no introduction, but in case you’re unfamiliar with Joe “Big House” Kenn, let me fill you in real quick on this guys’ rap sheet….
He’s a 30+ year vet of the strength and conditioning game.
He’s worked – and had success – at every level of physical preparation, from high school to the pros.
And that illustrious career includes a 9-year stint with the Carolina Panthers in the NFL, and a trip to Super Bowl 50 along the way.
And to my knowledge, he’s the ONLY COACH to be named NSCA Strength Coach of the Year at both the collegiate and professional levels.
So needless to say, I’m pretty sure he knows a thing or two about S&C!
But beyond that, Joe is not just a great coach but someone I consider to be a great friend and mentor as well, and I’m honored to have him back on the show this week!

Build Savage, Athletic Beasts with Exerfly!
This week’s episode of the Physical Preparation Podcast is brought to you by Exerfly.
Flywheel training is a method of strength training where your athletes generate resistance by using the inertia of a flywheel instead of traditional gravity-based resistance training
By accelerating and then decelerating a disk, your athletes generate resistance in both the concentric and eccentric portions of the lift, WITHOUT the need for ridiculously heavy weights.
Standard free weight training is great for the early preparatory phases, but as athletes develop there’s more to it than just getting stronger at all costs.
At some point, you need to prepare them for the massive eccentric forces they’ll experience on the field, court or pitch – and with Exerfly’s motorized technology, you can increase the eccentric overload of the lift anywhere from 1-80%!
Exerfly is used by numerous teams in the NFL, NBA, over 50% of the English Premiere League, and numerous Olympic development programs.
Now as a small business owner you may immediately assume that an Exerfly is out of your budget, because we all know that every penny counts.
But Exerfly has you covered here as well – they offer 36-month, interest free-financing, so you can get started ASAP with your training and pay as you go.
And when you factor in a 30-day money back guarantee, 2- year warranty AND free shipping, the Exerfly really is a solid investment.
