Last December,
@stu_kodiakbarbell , the coach and mind behind Kodiak Barbell, nearly didn’t come home. An allergic reaction to anesthetic left him fighting for his life, and his wife facing decisions no spouse should ever have to make. He made it through. And he believes he knows exactly why.
In this episode of
@truthserumpod , Stuart opens up about the experience that tested everything: his body, his identity, and his faith. We get into how it has reshaped the way he thinks about coaching, strength, and what it means to truly show up for the people in your corner.
We also go deep on what makes Kodiak Barbell different. Stuart’s coaching philosophy, how he builds athletes who are mentally and physically tough, his approach to powerlifting programming, and the culture he has built around the barbell.
If you train, compete, or coach, or if you have ever faced something that made you question what you are really made of, this one is for you.
In this episode:
-Stuart’s near-death experience and the role his Christian faith played in his survival.
-The Kodiak Barbell philosophy and what it demands of athletes.
-How Stuart programs for strength and powerlifting performance.
-Coaching identity and what it means to develop athletes, not just build numbers.
