Scott Shetler is the most impressive physical trainer I’ve ever met. Mentored by the legendary Louie Simmons and working in the fitness industry for three decades, he is masterful at distilling complex training methods into simple, actionable principles while providing direction for continuous improvement.
He recently published two books, Barbell Ronin and Conjugate for Old People (and Recovering Meatheads). Barbell Ronin focuses on the mindset and philosophy behind training. In a world full of noise, influencers, and endless information, Scott emphasizes brilliance in the basics to become the best version of yourself. Conjugate for Old People then explores the skillsets and practical methods to consistently apply the proven concepts he learned at Westside Barbell.
I’ve never met anyone who is able to write and speak on progressively variable training as well as Scott. His Substack, Strength and Health, is a goldmine for fitness knowledge. He has a recent series titled “Fix the Limiter, Build the Lift,” which can help anyone determine the weakest link in their strength and then provides movements to improve it. He takes it a step further through his online coaching platform he runs in conjunction with his gym Extreme Performance Training Systems.
Whether you’re a beginner, advanced, or aging athlete, Scott’s wisdom will add incredible value in the gym and life.
