While coaching high school football in the mid-1970s, his interest in developing an ideal strength program for athletes led him to a small private fitness center where his conventional beliefs about strength training were shattered. It was the start of an educational journey toward a new and better way of strength training, which he later referred to as post-conventional. Commonly believed strength training myths are addressed, and the conventional explanation of how strength training causes muscles to become stronger is scientifically challenged. An emphasis is placed upon the improvement of health, fitness, and lifestyle through the benefits of strength training. A spiritual connection, including the gospel of Christ, is also presented. Now seventy-seven, Jim is currently a part-time, certified personal trainer in Peachtree City, Georgia. Over the last thirty-five years, his list of trainees has included business men and women, beauty contestants, seniors, and top high school, college, amateur, and professional athletes.ver menos
