On this episode I speak with sports nutritionist and World’s Strongest Woman competitor Jennie Cwikla. Jennie is also the owner of Valkyrie Athletics, a company that specializes in working with elite level athletes. She and I discuss eating for performance, realistic expectations, and common nutrition misconceptions.
Jennie talks about the struggles we all have with balancing life and fitness. She talks about how many public school systems have failed to prepare students for and living a healthy lifestyle.
While in college studying exercise science, Jennie found herself in a position where she was not the person she knew she should be. She was over 200 lbs. and not eating the way she knew she should. Jennie said that was her rock bottom and was determined to make a change for the better.
In 2008 Jennie started running boot camp classes and competing in figure competitions. Jennie even got involved with extreme weight loss studies for infomercials like Nordictrack and other fitness equipment.
In 2010 Jennie competed in her first sanctioned World’s Strongest Woman competition, which she ended up winning. That was the springboard into her career. She went on to win Arizona’s Strongest Woman, and tied for 5th in The World’s Strongest Woman competition.
Jennie is the owner of Valkyrie Athletics, a company that specializes in helping elite level athletes with programing and nutrition.

On this episode I speak with AJ Roberts. AJ is a two time world record holder in power lifting, successful entrepreneur, and sought after strength coach. We talk about how he got into power lifting, AJ explains the Westside Method in detail, and he explains how to program intensity into your workouts.
AJ grew up in England playing basketball and moved to Oregon for High School on an exchange program. This is where he discovered weight training and the Bigger, Faster, Stronger program. Due to eligibility issue AJ was not able to compete in basketball his senior year so he transitioned to power lifting and bowling.
He then shares with us his powerlifting story, time at Westside Barbell, and breaking world records. Early in his career AJ recognized that training with people better than him was a vital part of getting better. After 17th place finish at nationals he was not satisfied his results and was determined to win. In 2006 AJ met Louie Simmons and after college AJ moved to Columbus, Ohio so he could train at Westside Barbell.
The Westside Method Outline:
A blend of maximal effort, dynamic effort, and submaximal repetition work in a four day per week program. Two days dedicated to maximal effort, two days dynamic effort, and repetition work done after your main lifts.
Maximal Effort (work up to heavy single)
72 hours between maximal effort and dynamic effort. Submaximal work is done with accessory exercises for the entire body but should target weak areas. 20% of total volume should be done in the three power lifts and remaining 80% in accessory work. For more details check out AJ’s video on the Westside Method
AJ reminds us that we are only as strong as our weakest link, therefore the assistance work is so important to unlocking our strength. He thinks that many powerlifters over do it on the main three (squat, bench, deadlift) and don’t do enough accessory work.
Another benefit of the Westside Method is you raise the strength of everything at once, due to the variety of lifts in your programing. It’s a longevity program that you can do for a long time. People who do the Westside Method for a long time usually gain a tremendous amount of strength. The key is you MUST do the accessory work.
I then ask AJ how a non-powerlifter could apply the Westside Method to their training. His suggestion is to superset or tri-set exercise to reduce the time requirements in the gym.
When talking about his world record total run, AJ said he had a conversation with Donnie Thompson and “Super D” told him, it was not about AJ’s strength but his preparation. So AJ adjusted his recovery, nutrition, and carefully picked his accessories to address his weaknesses.
When asked about environment and intensity AJ shares with us a article he wrote on the Conjugate Strong FB Group. He used to think that environment and intensity came from external factors, such as your training group. AJ has recently realized that the intensity he thought came from the environment at Westside can actually be programed through competition in your program, not needing the external environment.
