Field Strong/Jacked Street

Started with Field Strong, did that for a year. Got in the best shape of my life at 40. Wanted to add some muscle, did Jacked Street. Finishing my 1rst 6 week block of Jacked Street. At 41, I’ve gained 6-7 lbs of muscle, my legs are impossible to grow, they are growing. My Deadlift max went from 395 for 1 to 395 for 4 (Lifetime PR), I’m getting closer to benching 300lbs. People think I look “big” at 6ft4 188lbs. I’ve done lots of “hard” programs in the past with other coaches. But the difference with Coach John and Power Athlete is simple. It’s results.

Hello my old friend athleticism

Hello my old friend athleticism. Program hoping and chasing decade old PR's led to a host of strains and pains. Following Bedrock gives me a healthy dose of weight progression and exercise variety while bringing sprinting back to my program. Bedrock is saving me from a "washed-up" title. Well done PA team.

Variety Programming

I've been on several Power Athlete programs in the past. Grindstone, Field Strong, HAMR, but so far Jacked Street has been the best for me. As a 46-year-old dad, I want to stay strong and athletic, but also look like I could "be the hammer" if necessary!! The genius of Power Athlete is that all the programs tailor to whatever you want to do! You want to keep working on athleticism, do Field Strong. You want to get strong and jacked, but have limited time, do Grindstone. I'm proud and honored to be a member of the Power Athlete family! Thank you for the great and well written programming!

DBAB, purchase the programming

First off, I want to start by saying that I love Power Athlete HQ and their programming. If you’re serious about training and want to take your lifting to the next level, read through each programming to decide which works the best for your lifestyle and goals, and choose a program that fits it. There are plenty to choose from. I’ve ran HAMR off and on for years, but started when John ran CrossFit Football. HAMR is no nonsense training and allowed me to smoke at 16:50 5K run while hitting fat numbers in the gym. I run Jacked Street now for hypertrophy work. My wife hits Grindstone since she teaches yoga 3x a week. This allows her to gain and maintain strength, aesthetics, and tethers directly to abilities required on the mat.

The only thing I would recommend, and it’s something I’ve seen in other programming is: say PAHQ programs use Rogue bands, they program banded exercise; in the exercise notes placing the brand/color/resistance weight there. I personally use EliteFTS bands and the ones I have don’t go up to what Rogues do, so there is some experimentation involved.

Other than that, you dude pack a punch with the training methodology! Keep at it!

New Dad Making Gains

Best programming that I’ve found on the internet. I’m a new father but an experienced lifter. I picked Grindstone because of the flexibility. With two mandatory days and occasionally getting in one extra workout, I’m feeling more fit than I was doing another program 5d per week before my son was born. Wish I started sooner.

The Power Athlete system is legit

The Power Athlete system is legit, it gets real results. Pairing their programming with nutrition planning puts you in the best possible position to meet your goals. There is no fluff or BS, just proven methods to developing athleticism, getting strong, and dialing in your nutrition. Working with the Nutrition Coaches built my knowledge, fostered personal accountability, and helped me achieve the results I was aiming for, full stop.

On my grind

35M with 6 and 2 year olds. I’m a PA, wife is an ER doc. Time is at a premium for us. Grindstone is excellent programming for my situation. I’m making massive gains in my main lifts and having fun doing it. It beats me up but not to the point where I don’t progress or can’t function.

Best training out there

Been following Power Athlete for years, but fell off the train during Covid. After getting a bad case of Covid in 2021 I've used Grindstone to get back to life and get in a physical state I have not been in years. Can't recommend the Power Athlete training enough.

New Parent on the Grind

Long time PA follower, new to the Grind. Followed JWOD for ~7 years before work and life duties picked up. New dad, new duties as a professor and researcher, and a current commitment to BJJ. Grindstone has been the best program that is flexible and works with my life but continues to drive adaptations. Love that it’s kind of choose your own adventure program - muscle growth or strength or conditioning - doesn’t matter. It can work with whatever schedule you bring and comes with access to the PA community. Perfect for the new parent, college student, or business mom or dad.

The best you can get

Power Athlete puts out the best strength and conditioning coaching you can get. I used it last year as a structured program to try to recover my strength following cancer treatment. I couldn't lift an empty bar, and now I'm back squatting 100kg! I did Lean and Able, Bedrock and now Grindstone, and there was always a great balance between never feeling out of your depth and always having a fresh challenge. Love it!

Power Athlete = Results

As a 40 something business owner and dad, Power Athlete training has allowed me to build strength and work capacity while allowing me the flexibility to tackle the other priorities in life. I recently began the Leaning protocol and have seen body composition improvements. I have received more than my money's worth and can't recommend them enough!

Power Athlete has changed my life.

Power Athlete programming has been the centerpiece of my strength and conditioning journey for several years. The Power Athlete team’s methodology and masterfully crafted programs offer something for everyone. Limited time to train? Grindstone (my current program). Unlimited time to train? Field Strong. Craving hypertrophy? Jacked Street. Need a little extra cardio or you’re training for military service? HAMR/Johnnie WOD. Seriously - this team has something for everyone, and NONE of it compromises on quality or effective stimulus/dosing.
