    In this episode of “Strength Coach Collective,” host Kenny Markwardt sits down with legendary weightlifting coach Mike Burgener—better known as “Coach B”— to discuss the importance of strength training at any age.

    Coach B starts with the story of how he got started in weightlifting and coaching, and he explains how Olympic lifts improve athletic performance and mobility.

    Then he lays out how he coaches his own “Geezer Group” using modified Olympic lifts and functional exercises. Their training focuses on maintaining quality of life and preventing injury—especially falls.

    He also touches on the role of nutrition in longevity, sharing his personal journey of cutting out processed foods and sugar.

    Coach B’s personal goal? To live to 100—and to still be functional and strong.

    Tune in for practical insights on lifelong strength training.
