Scott Shetler
If you are in any way interested in being healthier and stronger,
is a must follow. He has been one of my favorite resources for strength-based knowledge for over a year.Scott has the energy, passion, and appearance of a 30-yr old combined with the experience and wisdom of a man his actual age which is a fresh 50. His posts are practical, informative, evidence-based, and hilarious. A strength history buff and personal trainer for over 27 years, Scott’s story on what led him into becoming a strength coach is incredible. He’s worked with and learned from legends throughout his career yet still possesses the curiosity and spirit of someone just getting started.
I thoroughly enjoyed talking to Scott and hearing about his evolution as a coach and athlete himself. As you will hear, he is the real deal - a wealth of knowledge that can apply to any age, fitness level, and/or background.
We discussed his entertaining origin story: training with and learning from Louie Simmons; strength throughout the lifespan; various systems for strength training such as the conjugate method; overtraining vs under recovery; the benefit of variation within a particular movement pattern; getting the most out of a training schedule; the power of 90%; movement snacks; what a week of training typically looks like for him; mobility within strength; barefoot training; focusing on smaller muscle groups; barbell vs trap bar for deadlifts, and much more.
Scott has an incredible paid tier on Substack where he offers specific technique videos and information to get the most out of your training. Furthermore, he recently created an online coaching platform and community that he will be offering through Discord.
