About

My name is Geoff Neupert.

I have been “chasing strength” since I was hanging from my clothesline at age 4 trying to do pull-ups. I have been at one time or another fascinated with all forms of strength.

My current passion (since 1995) is Olympic Style Weightlifting. Unfortunately, I broke myself training for it and started rehabbing in 2006. After almost 8 years off from competition, I returned to the platform, competing at a competition in Savannah, GA, in November 2007. I used Z-Health and the RKC Application of Kettlebell Training to get me there.

I have been in the Fitness Industry for over 15 years. I have worked in the field in many capacities: Personal Trainer, Business Owner, Division 1 College Strength & Conditioning Coach, Presenter, and Author. I love what I do, and I do what I love.

This blog is a continuation of www.chasingstrength.blogspot.com, which I started in 2006 to help me chronicle my progress, training and otherwise, using a  TON of Z-Health, kettlebells, and specific barbell work.

I have been “working out,” or training, for 20 years. I have had many successes and made many mistakes. I started as a road to recovery after breaking my arm wrestling. I’ve never looked back. I have competed in Powerlifting and Olympic Weightlifting. I also mess around quite a bit with kettlebells.

(Above is me teaching the Press to a group of approximately 90 people at the June 2008 Russian Kettlebell Challenge–RKC.)

I currently weigh between 215-220lbs at approximately 10% bodyfat, plus or minus a couple of percent. I have been as heavy as 252lbs and as ripped as just over 3% weighing 200lbs.

One of the things I’ve been very fortunate to have is a been surrounded by great teachers who have poured countless hours into my life and great colleagues whom I can bounce ideas off. I am very grateful to do what I do.
