I’m not sure why John bothers having people on as guests, he is knowledgeable that’s for sure but I have never heard a presenter that cuts off their guest and inserts their own point of view as much as John does. It takes a few podcasts to notice but listen to a few and all the opinions start to...Read full review »

I was lucky enough to be a guest on Power Athlete Radio to discuss my latest book, In Defense of Doping. I found Mr. Welbourn to be knowledgeable, engaging, and fair in his approach. This was not a rubber stamp of my philosophy. Nor was it an adversarial debate. We had a fair-minded,...Read full review »

I am leaving as I don’t want to hear that all college professors are socialists and anti-trans remarks.

The live, laugh, love of knowledge bombs.

Gentlemen, The information you are sharing is exceptional. But your audio devices or whatever you are recording with is abysmal. I have to go full volume in a quiet room to hear you and your guests. You need to fix this.

I enjoy the info when I can actually hear it.

Best strength and conditioning podcast out there

Can’t say enough about Power Athlete Podcast. The guests are top notch, the information is always superb and thought provoking. John and Tex bring it each and every episode. Move the Dirt!!

Over 40 athlete, recovering from a muscle tear, I have had excellent personal conversations with Sam and Tex about nutrition and training. They don’t just tell you what to do, but explain why recommendations are made and the approach behind programming. These are people you will hear on...Read full review »

If you have a body and a mind this is a podcast for you. John and Tex are your hosts with the mosts (sorry, it rhymed). The topics covered are wide ranging from increasing physical performance to reviews of outstanding 1980s movies! Each episode has the tone of a bunch of friends chewing the fat...Read full review »

This podcast was really helpful for me at the beginning of the pandemic. Topics are useful but every episode is turned into complaining about everybody who isn't like John without much critical thinking behind it. There are much better evidence based podcasts that don't waste 30% of the...Read full review »

Wealth of knowledge in all things strength and conditioning. Hilarious at times. Horrible movie taste but if you’re here for movie recommendation, move along Spielberg. You’ll learn something every single time you listen. And if you don’t, you learn that you can’t pay attention. Cheers PA 👊🔥

HUGE fan of the Power Athlete podcast. Been in the fitness game for over the last 20 years or so and learn something new on every episode. John and Tex are both super bright guys and I really enjoy the perspective they share and the guests they interview on the show. Have yet to find a better...Read full review »

If Dutch and Dillion’s bro-shake had a baby… If the Fast Franchise stunts were done 70s style…It trucks were still square body steel… if someone made a Chris Farley clone for Tommy Boy 2… if Tex was tall… if John would repeat the “ing” echo…. Maybe just maybe there would be something more awesome...Read full review »

Solid strength and conditioning information, but the real reason I became an avid listener is because if I play it loud enough I can pretend I have friends on my commute, at work, and while squatting alone in my frigid garage. In my leisure time instead of watching the video version I prefer to...Read full review »

As a Power Athlete”r” adjacent, being as my husband loves the podcast and I have found myself captivated by the premier podcast in strength and conditioning.

Awesome film reviews and life insight. I wish I had things like this in my younger years of life when I knew EVERYTHING! GREAT job men, keep it up.

Power athlete Radio is the number 1 strength and conditioning podcast in the world that specialises in 80s movies reviews, square body trucks and daily weather updates. Expect your bench press numbers to improve and your biceps to start growing-ing-ing due to the sheer number of knowledge bombs...Read full review »

I’ve been a long time follower from the CFFB days and currently follow the Field Strong program. I love the diversity of topics covered. As a retired Marine I really appreciated the recent episode on veteran suicide (episode 473). Also, at the age of 48, I appreciated episode 474. It’s the way I...Read full review »

I have no excuse for why I haven't posted a review before because I've been listening since Denny K was on, by the way GFY deadlifts still give me nightmares. This is seriously the greatest podcast to help you grow as an athlete and a person. If you listen then you already know this and...Read full review »

I’ve been following this ridiculously smart, informative, knowledgeable, hilarious podcast for 5 years now that has changed (and frankly improved) in innumerable ways, and all I got was this lousy T-Shirt.

I’m getting older, but my desire to train and stay hard is growing by the day. Sometimes looking in the mirror is not enough to put yourself in check. Jon and Tex along with their world class guests of top performers in many fields are just what you might need to wake up and take your...Read full review »

I’ve been listening to podcasts before the world was created flat. Some podcasts I stop listening to, because at some point I know what they are going to say, and frankly they get boring. Not so with these benevolent rockstars. They and their world class guests graciously and continually bequeath...Read full review »

Great content and interesting content. Definitely a show with something for everyone, whether you train in your shed, basement or gym, like great movie quotes and references or even pick up trucks. I regularly re-listen to shows multiple times.

If you know what that is you will love this podcast. If the girl of your dreams lives under your roof but thinks your a dumb jock listen to John and Tex and learn some knowledge bombs . Don’t die with a hard on and learn to live like a farmer not a bartender who hangs with the drunks all night.

I’ve never been one to throw down in the pit, but an experience at a recent show two years back caused me to realize that my bean pole like frame was not conducive to long durations of throwing down in the pit. In comes Power Athlete, who’s programming put me in the right direction to take my...Read full review »

Been following PA the past couple years. Great info and super entertaining. My favourite was the Nick Hardwick one. Please don’t stop making these. Thanks

Hands down the best feedback I’ve been given from comparable resources. The process began with an in-app question and led to detailed responses from the PA Crew and Dr. Zanis. You guys are definitely appreciated!

Amazing episode full of useable information, to enable you to achieve goals, cutting out the BS. Thank you.

These guys are rockstars. Seriously one of my 3 go-to podcasts every week.

What’s the best part about going home for the holidays? Is it hearing your dad (Jean Welbourné) tell you the same story he’s told you a million times? Is it your older sibling (Luke) who still thinks it’s a good idea to pre-game the mid-day festivities despite their handful of alcohol related...Read full review »
