Referring to Strength And Performance Lead Trainer – Joe Hashey, CSCS
Over the past few months I’ve gotten to know J-Hash (as I call him) and when it comes to creativity with training he is one of the most creative. It’s very tempting when training for sport performance to think that you need tons of high priced equipment. Now I do admit that I’ve had the luxury to have access and train with high caliber equipment but the bells and whistles ARE NOT always NEEDED or NECESSARY.
Most of the exercises in the manual can be performed with little to no equipment. And the equipment that is needed for some of the exercises can be created with Joe’s “home-made approach” to strength development, so there are no excuses when looking to improve your sports performance.
Rob Williams – NFL Athlete Trainer, Former Ohio State Strength and Conditioning Coach

“Joe Hashey is an outstanding new coach to emerge on the performance enhancement scene. His new manual Bull Strength is a excellent example of his in the trenches experience. He’s one of the few coaches I’ll turn to now and in the future when it comes to discussing ways to maximize athletic performance.”
AJ Roberts – Professional Power lifter and 1000 lb squatter

“Being a professional mixed martial artist, I know what it takes to reach a high level of physical preparedness. Perhaps the most important physical trait one can possess in a mixed martial arts bout is one of superior conditioning. Many of the exercises and routines that are displayed in Bull Strength Conditioning are ones that I have used throughout my careers as a competitive wrestler and fighter.
Being a successful gym owner as well, after receiving the manual I began to implement many of the routines with not only our competition team, but also our other students. You do not haveto be a competitive athlete to benefit from Joe Hashey’s Bull Strength Conditioning manual, literally he will take ANYONE to a higher level of physical conditioning.”

The programming, based on conjugate periodization, is effective. It makes a lot of sense to develop athletic qualities such as strength, power, and conditioning, in tandem.
The exercise selection is unusual, opens up a lot of opportunities for fun, and much of it is unique. I have read through many training books and much of the material is totally new to me. The material can be applied to workouts performed pretty much anywhere, whether that be the commercial gym, underground gym, parking lot or neighborhood park.
Fantastic. And Joe has set about supporting his customers and creating a little community of like-minded athletes and trainers.
Al Heinemann, Owner Terminal City Training

I recently got to know Joe and very quickly I discovered we had similar training philosophies. After reading The Bull Strength Manual this fact was confirmed very quickly. Joe guides the reader through each movement and
provides a very comprehensive selection of programs to follow.
This manual is perfect for athletes and coaches alike – No Fluff, No B.S just brutal drills to hammer yourself into top shape.
If you fight or compete, YOU NEED HIS TRAINING!!! If you’re serious about taking you’re conditioning to the
uppermost level, YOU NEED HIS TRAINING!!!

“What is a good strength coach?
Is it someone who goes and gets certified on the weekend? Or is it someone who dedicates himself not only to developing his athletes, but to continuing to develop himself through education and “under the bar” experience?
Joe Hashey is a good strength coach. He is innovative and passionate. That is key to always trying to find a better way to help his athletes achieve greatness. Thanks for all that you do Joe!”

Jim Smith, CSCS, Owner of the Diesel Crew, Author for Men’s Fitness and Muscle and Fitness.

I can honestly say I have never had so much fun both planning my workouts and then trying them for myself. Before I felt like I was training in a box; I could learn and use efficient training methods but was afraid to deviate from the typical barbell and dumbbell movements…..after reading your Bull Strength manual I have been able to incorporate my elite stone trainer, kettlebells, sandbags, kegs, inch trainer, log bar, etc. fundamentally into my programs without missing a beat…Thanks again Joe, Bull Strength is nothing short of spectacular.
Ari Selig, CSCS – Owner of Premier Fitness Solutions (referring to Joe’s Bull Strength manual)

Joe, He flexed and I felt his arm and almost dropped over dead. His arm not only grew greatly, but it was rock hard! I was thrilled and told him the best thing he has ever done was go to your gym and work out with you.
What amazes me is that you have only worked with him 3 months. We can only imagine what gains he’ll make in 1 year, 2 years, 3 years. I believe you have given his best chance for success in all his athletic endorse.

I have been training at synergy-athletics for more than half a year now and not only have I become stronger but I feel better. When going to classes during the day I feel more energized and better about myself.
All of my pr’s have shot up since training started and I have real world strength which carries over when working my side construction job. The training has also allowed me to learn how to lift safely so in the future I will not get hurt.
