Real Deal


Dr. Ken Leistner is the real deal when it comes to strength coaching legends. I am proud that I met Dr. Ken, flying to St. Louis to attend one of his seminars and own 8 York barbell 45lb plates from his garage gym. (Yeah, I know....some people collect stamps..) Dr. Ken is the tell it like it is, no bullshit, work till your eyeballs fallout before many of today's strength coaches even began training or developing programs. Ken is also a selfless individual who has adopted children in need and given freely of his time and gifts in order to help others. The most outstanding thing about Ken is that he is still training hard! A few years back weighing maybe 165, Ken squatted 405 for 23 straight reps! These were ground out! Not one was a piece of cake after the first dozen. Unbelievable. Google and read some of his stuff, you will not be disappointed.
