  • Need to improve communication

    I really enjoy listening to episodes with guest speakers. I’ve been listening to this podcast since it came out. However anything run by Jake has too many “umms” after every sentence. It’s distracting and annoying, and makes me not want to listen to any of the survey recaps

The Story Behind Husker Power Locks with New Owner, Tanner Paxton
Q: What led you to attend Home Gym Con and how did you first hear about it?
A strength-conditioning colleague recommended Home Gym Con, and after checking it out online and realizing it was a community-driven trade show, he decided to sign up, especially since the business was still early in its setup.
The Story Behind Husker Power Locks with New Owner, Tanner Paxton
Q: Can you tell us about yourself and how you got into the home gym space?

John Gaglione: Powerlifting History, Home Gyms, Specialty Bars, Injury Prevention, Growing Strict Curl, More
Q: What are your thoughts on strict curl and how it fits into a home gym routine for broader fitness goals?
He argues strict curl is accessible, less systemically taxing, and can be trained in short cycles for notable strength gains; it complements other lifts, provides a goal-driven pathway for bodybuilders and non-lifters, and can be integrated with minimal equipment.

Q: What would you tell the average Joe about training for powerlifting versus general strength and health goals?
The guest emphasizes prioritizing strength as a foundation that supports bone density and overall performance, suggests focusing on big three lifts and a clear KPI, and recommends strategic variation with specialty bars to protect joints while maintaining progress.
John Gaglione: Powerlifting History, Home Gyms, Specialty Bars, Injury Prevention, Growing Strict Curl, More
Q: How has the powerlifting scene today compared to when you started, particularly around home gyms and accessibility?
He explains two schools of thought: the rise of dedicated powerlifting gyms with 24/7 access and advanced equipment, and the growth of well-equipped home gyms that emphasize community, safety, and targeted gear like specialty bars. He also notes the shift toward submaximal training and the benefit of living with a flexible, goal-driven program.
