John Janecek
Starting Strength Coach

About John Janecek

Biography:

For the past 27 years, I've worked as a college and high school strength coach. Throughout this time, I was paid to work with athletes, but also enjoyed training other coaches, staff members, their spouses and kids! I gained my introduction to strength training while playing football at University of Nebraska. It was there that Boyd Epley introduced me to Husker Power and I adopted the ideology that squats, cleans and presses are the key to strength and athletic development. When I arrived in Texas in 2000, I met Rip and discovered our philosophies meshed well. As a man over 50, my focus has shifted to researching and practicing, not only maintaining, but gaining strength in myself and others who may not be as active as they once were. My goal as a Starting Strength coach is two-fold. I want to help the younger population get stronger and help the older population keep or regain their strength and independence through a proven system of basic barbell training.
