I found this pod in search of improvements to my powerlifting performance. I immediately learned things that boosted my performance and I am still finding progress from what Kyle and Derek teach. They also keep me highly entertained at work. Absolutely recommend for anyone trying to get better in the gym or overall health.

I’ve been an avid follower of the podcast since 2018. I credit Kyle’s Absolute Strength show with being the first podcast I’d started listening to on a regular basis. At the time I was in college, an aspiring powerlifter, and had no real structured training. Since finding the show I’ve found myself hungry for knowledge on everything sports science related. Now I’m a certified NASM trainer working with private clients and feel I owe a thank you to both Kyle and Derek for using the podcast as a platform for educating the public weekly and even assisting me, however indirectly, in my career. I’m always going to be a listener. Great podcast, great vibes. Thanks guys.

Just found your podcast when searching powerlifting instead of bodybuilding and learned so much already. I appreciate your honesty and information you provide for free.

Great Podcast that breaks down the fundamentals of not only lifting, but supporting recovery while lifting

Long time listener here, always loved the content. Always found it super easy to digest with a lot of great knowledge for new lifters and experienced lifters alike. Great job!

Kyle is a great coach, knowledgeable fitness pro and entertaining guy to listen to as well. Definitely a podcast you can listen to 5-10 episodes back to back and not be bored yet take in a lot of information. His programs, books and ebooks are also great too. I’ve purchased them for myself and others numerous times.

Kyle does a great job covering strength training and simplifies it for everyday people. His early episodes are filled with great interviews with all kinds of people in the strength world and his more recent stuff does a great job of answering questions people have. I’d love to see some more of those interviews and would love to hear him share client success stories. My IMDb rating for absolute strength is a 9.0.

Perfect mix of entertaining conversation and very practical lifting and fitness advice. As an older lifter it is nice to listen to someone who is young and strong but also frames things functionally so it can be applied to each individual’s level. It isn’t so industry specific that things get lost in the weeds, and most episodes offer alternate ways to do things if you don’t have access to all the equipment out there.

Just recently found the podcast but have been listening to the older episodes daily while at work. Excellent information and encouraging at the same time.

Kyle is a breath of fresh air in the fitness podcast space. He can clearly explain the basic principles of strength and muscle gain, as well as nutrition. He presents himself as a normal person and does not promote extreme or odd protocols. Also, Kyle is entertaining. I usually find myself laughing at least once throughout the episode.

This podcast is fantastic to listen to with good information. It can be valuable for the beginners and experts alike as it goes into the data to support the arguments but also emphasizes not being bogged down by the nitty gritty. It is nice not to be overwhelmed with “perfect” and hear how consistency and enjoyment is far more important. Highly recommend!

I love this podcast a lot! So many good episodes!

Im 57 and recently got back to the gym after a twenty year hiatus. Kyle’s advice has given me a great jumpstart. I wish I knew this stuff years ago. I’ve designed a plan based on his advice and in two months I’ve made great progress. Many thanks to my podcast coach!!!

Mr. Hunt breaks down complicated concepts (such as flexible dieting) and makes them accessible to the average joe. I recently began listening because Kyle was featured on Mike Matthews' podcast Muscle For Life (another good one to sub to). I love Kyle's Q&A podcast and deep dives on varying topics. He is also reachable by email which is awesome! Although it's only been a short time of listening for me, I look forward to each episode being released! Plus IMO, this pod has the best intro music lol -- I feel like I'm about to go to the beach or listen to Red Hot Chili Peppers.

I look forward to listening to Kyle and his upbeat and very informative podcast. I’m an older lifter and have spent several decades in the gym and I still learn things every week from Kyle. His wisdom is beyond his age and I think that comes from his true passion of helping people become healthier through strength. His eloquent delivery and positive energy make this a must to listen to.

I recently started getting into powerlifting and wanted to dive into all things powerlifting. In that effort I found this podcast and can’t get enough of it. Kyle Hunt is a well informed and knowledgeable strength and fitness coach that gives some awesome ideas on how to program, diet, and data collection. I’ve even changed some of my training because of what he has said. Can’t wait to hear the next podcast.

Tons of good information every episode.

I am loving The Absolute Strength Podcast. The host Kyle jam packs every episode with tons of awesome content, interviews, and guest, covering all things health, fitness, and wellness. I highly recommend!

I stumbled upon this podcast and while scrolling through Spotify podcasts about 2 years ago and I still remember the first podcast I listened to which was covering the science of pre workout supplements with none other than the might as well be co host Derek Charlebois! Since that first podcast I have been hooked and haven’t missed a single podcast since! This podcast is full of top notch information backed by Kyles scientific based methods, awesome guests from former NFL athletes to powerlifting champions such as Taylor Atwood and Russ Swole and not to forget the hilarious tangents with Derek Charlebois! Overall this podcast is super informative and very entertaining providing information that is in my opinion too good to be free! Kyle also offers some of the most bang for your buck powerlifting programs on the market which I have had amazing results running! Keep up the great work Kyle!

I’m just now getting back into weightlifting but me and my buddy listen to this podcast on the way to the gym and he answers all of the questions I have while doing his absolute strength v.1 program

Have listened to all episodes it’s expanded my knowledge is all aspects of fitness. Kyle also offers online coaching which is top notch. He keeps it real backing up his content with research proven material. As you hear his podcast you can clearly distinguish his grade A material to other over commercialized stations. Keep it up Kyle!!

Kyle Hunt does a great job explaining complex fitness concepts and making them easy to understand. My favorite episodes are the Q and As with Derek and the book reviews. Keep up the great work and that Vanilla PR Breaker Hit Point with Greek Yogurt combo is fire. Thanks Kyle!

But actually jokes aside, Kyle’s podcast is certainly one to add to your list as his content is not only super informative and enjoyable, but as a host he is genuine and his passion for fitness and coaching is reflected in every single episode! Keep up the amazing content man! 💪

Without a doubt kyle is one of the most knowledgable and relatable guys in the industry. 5 Stars all day!! He and Derek make a great team in the q&a sessions as well!

Excellent content to supplement Youtube and reading as I venture deeper into the quest for strongth gainzzz.

Excellent stuff. Great balance of lifestyle, sports (love the NFL content), lifting, and nutrition content. Not just regurgitating the same stuff everyone else is talking about which I appreciate. I think it'd be cool if previous clients came on the show to talk about their experiences/successes/challenges. Keep it up Kyle!

Kyle, is not only amazing, but truly so knowledgeable!

Great Podcast!! Could you do a review of Westside vs the World? Also, the content is amazing, but I find the intros a bit long. Keep up the great #consistent work

I love this podcast. No nonsense info about training and fitness. Really enjoyed the Sly Stallone book review and the interview with Joe Kenn

This channel has actually started my “Podcast Journey.” I had never listened to a podcast and the first one was Absolute Strength. I work a lot of overtime, and often times the OT gets boring and leads to a lose of motivation. Then, I found Absolute Strength. Not only is Kyle engaging, but his mindset and breakdown of info is not only motivating, it keeps my brain engaged into this lifestyle and my goals! Thank Kyle, keep being you and spreading the good word. When the time is right financially, I’ll be contacting you for coaching!

Always has entertaining and knowledgeable guest. People who can speak from experience and give good insight on the fitness community.

I highly recommend listening and subscribing to this podcast! I’ve been following Kyle for many years through his YouTube page. But now I have the ability to listen and learn more while on the move or at work. All of the podcasts have been super informative and relatable to the fitness and personal development category! Give this podcast a try, you will not be disappointed.

Love this podcast, and love Kyle’s perspectives on lifting and strength. Highly recommended!!!

Kyle does a great job at breaking down information into an easy to apply manner. Not to mention the programs he’s made are awesome and I’ve made great gains on them! Definitely worth listening if you dig training, nutrition, and some good business talk as well.

Keep up the good work bro so much great information I would love to represent you with that T-shirt !!

I just wanted to let you know I enjoy your show between this show and one other on powerlifting look forward to seeing new updates every week. The wide range of topics from hypertrophy to body building to cutting and bulking, I’m always interested on your take on things. Side note I’m buying the PR breaker creamsicle and blue razz since you talk about them so much. I love the sour gummie worms so I’m like I cant listen to another episode without buying it! Keep up the good work!

Fantastic podcast, very informative and entertaining. Been a listener for a while and enjoy Kyle’s opinions on various fitness topics. Great group of guests he’s had in the past and looking forward to the future of this podcast!

The Absolute Strength podcast is an absolute necessity for anyone (beginner, intermediate or advanced lifters) who wants to expand their knowledge on training & nutrition. His one on one interviews are excellent but the bread & butter shows are his solo shows where he answers questions on everything training & nutrition. I have been lifting for years & I still get tons of new, quality information on the industry when I tune in. Keep up the excellent work!!

Kyle brings on the best of the business. Not only do they discuss fitness related subjects but also a more personal side. His Q&As go to show his dedication to his followers. A must listen to!

As a competitive powerlifter I've downloaded and listened to a ton of fitness/powerlifting podcast. Most are junk with useless information. This podcast is different. Full of awesome advice and information. Whether you're new to strength training or experienced I think all can gain knowledge by listening to Kyle. But it's also a fun to listen to podcast. Also awesome q and a. And opportunities to get your personal questions answered

love the podcast, i either learn something new or reassure something i’ve already learned, whether from this podcast or else where...every episode. i appreciate the knowledge and time you put in for us listeners. q&a 216 was great, i had some of those questions myself!!! keep it up 💪🏼

Kyle delivers his content in an easy way to understand and cuts through the fitness industry bs. Been listening since the first episode and if I’m listening to a different podcast and he uploads a new one I jump right over to Kyle

Kyle provides amazing content and useful tips and information backed by science and experience. Every lifter no matter have novice or seasoned could benefit from this podcast. Highly recommend.

As a powerlifting podcast junkie I am so thankful I came across this podcast! Always taking away something helpful from each podcast!

I’ve been listening to the Absolute Strength podcast for as long as I can remember. It’s definitely the podcast I look forward to the most every week. Kyle is always dropping practical, in-depth information and I’m always learning. There’s a ton of podcasts spewing out similar info but Kyle really breaks it down and goes super deep. One QnA question can go on for 20-30 minutes haha but it’s much appreciated and context is needed to answer the questions and Kyle always delivers on that front. Keep crushing it man. You’ve got a lifetime listener!

Hey Kyle! You used to coach me a while back for my first few powerlifting meets! Thank you for everything, I listen to the podcasts when I can. They’re the only podcast I’d consider listening to because your real and give out such useful information for new lifters or even advanced lifters. Keep it up! Love them. Thank you again Kyle.

As a result of listening to this podcast and interacting with Kyle I have not only made changes that helped me lose weight and put on muscle, I’ve learned fourteen new languages. I can slam a revolving door. I can divide by zero.

Really great podcast to listen to if you're into sports, fitness, nutrition, or even business! Kyle always has on a good variety of guests for you to listen to and learn from. 5 stars.
