Tim Riley sits down with Jimmy House, a multifaceted athlete and coach who's mastered wrestling, powerlifting, jiu-jitsu, bodybuilding, and now professional wrestling. Jimmy shares his impressive journey from amateur wrestler to powerlifting champion (815lb deadlift!) to BJJ black belt training, all while building a successful coaching business.

Jimmy provides invaluable insights on combat sports training, the mechanics of skill acquisition, and the surprising difficulty of professional wrestling compared to other athletic disciplines. They discuss the true essentials of effective training: progressive overload, fundamentals, and proper recovery - rather than flashy "combat-specific" exercises promoted by influencers.

Learn how Jimmy coaches world-class grapplers and wrestlers, his approach to injury rehabilitation without surgery, and why personalization is the key to effective coaching at any level.
