THE STRENGTH GUYS
Jason Tremblay Lift4Life Interview: TSG President, Jason Tremblay, sat down with a volunteer from Lift4Life Worldwide to discuss why he finds strength training important and how he is contributing to a world where strength is accessible to all.
The Strength Guys Inc. is a proud sponsor of Lift4Life through our Coaching For A Cause partnership
We will cover the rationale of our programming, video analysis, athlete monitoring, performance documentation & iterative updating systems, and guidelines for competitive strategy. The purpose of this series is transparency. We’ve done our homework, and we want to show our athletes of the present and future what we’re all about.
We share the rationale behind our athlete monitoring system, which is designed to provide a holistic perspective that is complementary to the analytical approaches which we take to program design and coaching.
The rationale behind our iterative updating and assessment processes, which are designed to measure lifter progress and fine-tune the data-based training process.

2019 USAPL Raw Nationals Team TSG is our biggest yet and four of our coaches will be in attendance. We look forward to supporting our athletes as they put their peak strength and skill on display at one of the top competitions in all of powerlifting.

Coming off of his 2nd consecutive win at the Arnold Classic Pro American in the 93 kg division is @seanmoser19. Sean has been hard at work with coaches @jasontsg & @benesgro, and his nutritionist @kedrictsg both in-person and in the trenches on his own since the Arnold Classic where he is looking to improve on the 817.5 kg winning total which he posted back in March. Sean is one of the hardest workers on our team and we look forward to being there to support his efforts in a stacked 93 kg class.
Next up in the 83 kg category is relative newcomer to TSG, Sean Collins (@seantcollins24). Sean is coming off of a 762.5 kg Total at the Northeast Regionals in July.

Recently, Alfred Jong joined Steven Cuthbert in Episode 85 of The Strength Chat podcast.
Coach Cuthbert
From the success Alfred has had with his athletes, you can clearly see he knows what he’s doing. This isn’t to say that it’s solely down to programming though. In this episode, we covered a topic I feel is often forgotten or overlooked, the importance of communication between athlete and coach. A really interesting topic to cover with loads of great content and information
