Hello! My name is Jason Dowden. I began seriously lifting when I was 17 years old. For the first few years of training, my progress was minor due to poor programing and diet. I started reading books on training, usually centered around bodybuilding. Unfortunately, these books had little effect on my progress. I then read a book written by a Southern California trainer. This book was centered around strength training. Rep ranges, loads, and diet were all very different from anything I was taught or I had read up to this point. This form of training was a game-changer for me. I wondered why more people weren't training with heavier loads. In fact, to this day, I am still wondering the same question.

Unfortunately, I suffered an injury outside of training which required major surgery. After months and months of painful physical therapy, multiple doctor's visits, and very little progress, I went to see a specialist. After his examination, he told me my running and lifting days were over. I was devastated. However, I did not accept this fate. I began reading books centered around mobility. Soon after, I started doing my own rehab, incorporating mobility with strength training. The pain began subsiding throughout my body. Today, I have zero limitations and feel better than ever!

The fitness world is a very opinionated world full of plenty of misconceptions floating around regarding training with heavy loads. I want to clear up those misconceptions and show why everyone, from 10 years old to 90 years old, should have some form of strength training apart of their program. I bring over 20 years of personal experience, over a decade of training clients from middle school to grandparents (including being a strength and conditioning coach for two different high schools and a performance center), multiple certifications, having the opportunity to work with elite trainers myself, seminars, books, and any other form of knowledge that helps me be a better trainer for you.
