Anthony Mucurio on Side Hustles, Hedging Your Bets, and Transforming Young Athletes

Subscribe:

Anthony Mucurio is a professional coach for people looking to improve their physical capabilities for sport.

In addition to building beasts on the field, he is also dedicated to helping people stay HEALTHY so they can reach their FULL physical potential in life.

His vision is to bridge the gap between modern sports science and classic training methods. In his mind the goal is to create a training program that builds tremendous athleticism while also building resiliency against injury.

In this show, Anthony and I have a great chat. We start by talking about how a PE teacher from Brooklyn ended up owning a gym in upstate New York.

From there, we dive head first into his training philosophy – the role of split-stance and single-leg work, why extensive plyos are important, his thoughts on speed training, and much, much more.

Anthony is really doing some amazing work with his athletes, and I know you’re going to love this show.

 

I believe health precedes performance – and if you can’t stay on the field, then the rest of it doesn’t even matter. Anthony Mucurio

Build Savage, Athletic Beasts with Exerfly!

This week’s episode of the Physical Preparation Podcast is brought to you by Exerfly.

Flywheel training is a method of strength training where your athletes generate resistance by using the inertia of a flywheel instead of traditional gravity-based resistance training

By accelerating and then decelerating a disk, your athletes generate resistance in both the concentric and eccentric portions of the lift, WITHOUT the need for ridiculously heavy weights.

Standard free weight training is great for the early preparatory phases, but as athletes develop there’s more to it than just getting stronger at all costs.

At some point, you need to prepare them for the massive eccentric forces they’ll experience on the field, court or pitch – and with Exerfly’s motorized technology, you can increase the eccentric overload of the lift anywhere from 1-80%!

Exerfly is used by numerous teams in the NFL, NBA, over 50% of the English Premiere League, and numerous Olympic development programs.

Now as a small business owner you may immediately assume that an Exerfly is out of your budget, because we all know that every penny counts.

But Exerfly has you covered here as well – they offer 36-month, interest free-financing, so you can get started ASAP with your training and pay as you go.

And when you factor in a 30-day money back guarantee, 2- year warranty AND free shipping, the Exerfly really is a solid investment.

To learn more, head over to Exerfly.com so you can start building some savage athletic beasts in your gym.
