logo iyca IYCA SummitI got back from Louisville yesterday after spending a great weekend at the IYCA Summit with friends and colleagues like the incredibly knowledgeable Mike Robertson, nutrition expert, Dr. Chris Mohr, one of the greatest college strength coaches in the game, Joe Kenn, speed expert, Lee Taft, and my brother from another mother, Brian Grasso. It’s always a pleasure to hang and interact with these guys. I also got to finally meet Pat and Holly Rigsby for the first time, along with Westside Barbell Club’s AJ Roberts and high school strength coaching giant, Carlo Alvarez; all incredibly nice, knowledgeable people whom I was honored to spend time with.

There were lots of great discussions over the weekend and as always I learned a thing or two from everyone I had the chance to speak with. Whenever you get the chance to be around guys like this you have to be sure that you are absorbing as much information as possible.

I hope to do more with these guys in the future and will be bringing you some great interviews and collaborations both on the main site and in the members section.

A lot of people had questions for me on plant based eating and were interested in making the switch to a healthier, performance enhancing diet. I was excited to hear that Lee Taft hasn’t touched meat or dairy in five months and said that, in his mid forties, he has never felt better in his life. He said he has more energy, never gets sore anymore, recovers faster than he used to and is no longer plagued by some of the minor injuries that used to bother him. It’s always great to hear more stories like this, confirming what I have experienced personally and with all of my clients who have made the switch. The benefits are just too powerful to ignore any longer.

I think I even convinced IYCA founder, Brian Grasso to make the switch. I will keep you updated on his progress and will expand on this whole plant based nutrition concept some more very soon.

Thanks again to everyone who came up to say hi over the course of the weekend. It was great meeting all of you and I hope to see you again sometime in the future.

    Jayson I’m really sorry I missed this event and I’m really excited about your new membership site. Can’t wait to see the conent that you’ll be providing. BTW: I’m stuck on your muscle building smoothie. The steel oats makes the smoothie cement like and is very filling unlike others I’ve had.

    Thanks bro. jp
