About this listen
In this episode of the Modern Athlete Podcast, Coach Jimmy sits down with Harry Walker, founder of Warhorse Athletics, Marine Corps Infantry veteran, wildland firefighter, and elite Strongman competitor.
Harry breaks down how Strongman training carries over to tactical performance, why sandbags, carries, neck training, grip strength, and sprint work matter for military, law enforcement, firefighters, and other tactical athletes, and how he balances high-level competition with physically demanding real-world jobs.
They also dive into the difference between training for Strongman competition and using Strongman methods for tactical strength and conditioning, why rounded-back lifting is often misunderstood, how to build real-world durability, and why speed, explosiveness, and movement quality are critical for operational performance.
If you're a tactical athlete, strength coach, firefighter, military professional, or someone who wants to build real-world strength that actually transfers outside the gym, this episode is packed with practical insight.
