Dustin Silvey got JK'd

"I have been competing in combat sports for over 20 years and the hardest part for me has been getting to the weight gym. I have always hated the idea of lifting things up and putting them down. To motivate myself, I started educating myself in resistance training, even going as far as getting my CSCS certification and working as a strength and conditioning coach. This did nothing to help my motivation in the resistance department. I enjoyed training other people but as for lifting, I just couldn’t find a good reason.

Then in October of 2011 I was in a wrestling tournament and for one of the 1st times found that I was the weaker athlete. I realized perhaps age was catching up with me. I returned home and asked Jon if he would be my strength and conditioning coach. He came up with a training program that we changed up every four weeks.

I found within two months my muscle size increased, my endurance and recovery increased 10 fold and most important my explosive strength went through the roof. I have also always been plagued by low ankle and hip mobility and now I am able to do squats to my heels.

In February 2012 I placed 3rd in the Atlantics for university wrestling losing my final match by only one point. I do not believe I could have gotten where I did without Jon’s help. For anyone interested in upping their game in sports I would suggest working with Jon. He truly loves his job and seeing his athletes do well. Without him I would not be the athlete I am: at 31 I am in the best shape of my life."
