Explosive Strength Podcast with Jared Bidne

Jared Bidne is a strength and conditioning coach who focuses specifically on developing explosiveness, speed, and power for field and court sport athletes. The podcast zeroes in on how weight room work translates to on-field performance, which is the question that every S&C coach is really trying to answer. With a perfect 5.0 rating across 463 reviews, the show clearly resonates with its audience. Episodes cover velocity-based training mistakes, why box squats deserve a place in athletic programming, speed training principles for team sport athletes, and the conjugate method applied outside of pure powerlifting. Bidne's last visit to Westside Barbell, documented in episode 100, is a standout. Episodes run 25-45 minutes, which keeps things tight and focused. What sets this podcast apart from more general S&C shows is the specificity. Bidne is not trying to cover every aspect of fitness. He is drilling into the explosive athletic development niche and sharing documented case studies where athletes made measurable gains in speed, power output, and sport-specific performance markers. If you coach athletes who need to be fast and powerful rather than just strong, this is one of the more targeted resources available.
