Since about 7 years l‘m listening to your podcast every week 🥊 Go ahead I love it 🤗 Greetings Nadia
Great podcast, have been listening to your podcast for over 10 years from Australia As a Warrant Officer Class 2 in the Australian Army with many service related injuries I have taken a lot of your training and health advice and it has really helped me
I have been an avid listener of Coach D's podcast for I can’t remember how long. THAT’S just how long!! His podcasts are both super informative and entertaining A-F. Coach D's ability to present complex concepts in a straight-forward and engaging manner is truly remarkable. I never leave an episode without taking with me some newfound knowledge. I also enjoy how he gives us a peak behind the curtain of his life with personal stories, etc. Love the podcast. I highly recommend you give it a shot! ... more
I’ve been listening to The Industrial Strength show for about 8 years. The podcast is the perfect compliment to Joe’s Team Forever Strong training app. When combined, you have a world class strength and conditioning coach in your pocket. At age 41, I am the strongest I’ve ever been while implementing DeFranco’s techniques and programming.
I’ve been following Joe DeFranco since 2011, when I first discovered him while studying Strength & Conditioning at university. From that point on, he’s been a massive inspiration to me — both in and out of the gym.
Joe’s content, training methods, and no-nonsense life advice have shaped not only my own training but also my career. I started out running my first gym from a single-car garage, and today I’m proud to have moved into my own private facility. I honestly don’t think I’d be where I am ... more
