The Ed Coan Matt Poe PowerPress™️ Workshop was only possible and successful because of the great members of Poe’s Gym. Summary by Matt Horsnell, “Master Of Puppets” at Poe’s Gym.

As I entered Poe’s Gym, in my mind, I immediately saw two living legends and later a third. I gazed upon Ed Coan, “The GOAT” and Matt Poe, “The PushPress King”.

Unselfishly, Matt opened the workshop by introducing all participants to Ed Coan bragging on each member’s passion and heart for lifting.

Matt then briefly tore into the biomechanics of overhead pressing using the pushpress technique like no other (only how he could) stressing mental preparation from the approach to the finish, stressing footwork, constantly increasing bar velocity, and executing the 7 phases of weight travel.

Ed then spent over three hours teaching the squat, the benchpress, and the deadlift to each and every individual. He taught techniques such as elbow positioning while squatting, getting shoulders correctly set while benching, and more efficient setups in the deadlift among many, many, more golden nuggets of cues and information.

It was amazing to see two professionals working together with such great synergy as they supported and questioned aloud each other’s knowledge to our benefit. The best part was Ed and Matt’s constant "joking” with each other to keep the setting relaxed for everyone.

Ed and Matt never once talked about themselves. The workshop was 100% about us.

We also got a bonus, when Matt’s dad, Martin, walked into the room. Coach Poe was an incredible weightlifter, the Head OL Coach at Tennessee State University and Wichita State University (also the strength coach), the OG of strength and conditioning at Vanderbilt University, and a mentor to several successful OL and strength coaches in the USA. With the looks of The Godfather character out of Hollywood, Ed clearly stated to us, when Coach Poe entered the room, “Joe Pesci” is now in the house!

🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸Worldwide, since 1995, God, Family, Friends, Parents, Metallica, Athletes, Teams, Coaches, General Managers, Owners, Military Personnel, and Many More have been the supporting fabric of the “POE’S GYM” brand and our philosophy of CREATE SEPARATION.

🏆When another man (a cherished veteran) with a vision and passion to serve others through lifting has built his own gym:

🔥Walks into Poe’s Gym, buys our first banner (that was never for sale), and says he is going to hang it in his personal gym is by far one of the biggest compliments our brand could ever receive which is a tribute to our great members and a true lesson in HUMILITY delivered to us by another person in this way.

THANK YOU MARTY MEREDITH!!! Great example for your boys and other human beings!! Thank you for your service. Your country loves you.

Being Poe’s Gym’s “Master Of Puppets” and THE STRONGEST MAN IN THE WORLD WITH NARCOLEPSY WITH CATAPLEXY, Matthew Horsnell, I felt like today in Nashville, with 8 inches of snow and sub-freezing temps, is an opportune time to address the topic of grip strength development with my mentor “of being a true rascal”, Matt Poe.
💥💥💥💥💥
I get this question, from time to time, since I love pull-ups: What is a good way to develop grip strength?
💥💥💥💥💥
With a foundation of straight line science and being a master in biomechanics yielded Matt’s answer below:
💥💥💥💥💥
In my opinion, the best method to increase grip strength is raw non-strapped gripping, grappling, and missing heavy weights in normal training. Cold weather training will always offer a chance for everyone to achieve increased grip strength.
💥💥💥💥💥
My Golden Rule For Grip Strength Training In The Cold
💥💥💥💥💥
1. Get out of the weightroom and lift objects and have failing and successful attempts while lifting in cold weather with light and with heavy loads. PERIOD.
💥💥💥💥💥
Here is my simple explanation: As a result of cold exposure, your fingers want to contract during your training session. This healthy and normal “contraction” refines and strengthens neuromuscular firing patterns at the most powerful part of a finger joint’s flexion, upon an object which is the exact opposite in, let’s say, squatting, which optimal hip and knee flexion is a person’s weakest point. The former point is most commonly expressed by lifters as, “having a good grip”, on an object.
💥💥💥💥💥
Naturally and immediately, your warmer temperature training will result in a better grip.
💥💥💥💥💥
You can look at cold temps for grip strength as merely added resistance.

Poe’s Gym credits the gym’s success with our members’s underlying survival skill of being a family. We are grateful for every one of our members. We are family.
🇺🇸🦅💥🦅
We want to welcome COLE SCOTT all of 6 weeks old. He is the good looking one (not Matt Poe) sitting on the bench. His parents are our Josh and Hannah Scott. Josh is our GM who hides under a 100 year old beard.
🇺🇸💥🦅💥
COLE keeps an eye on our form during Saturday benchpress sessions. If he cries during your set, you need a form adjustment OR you need to feed him.

COLE a natural coach. Other than that, he sleeps peacefully with “One Eye Open” as METALLICA would loudly say to all.

Friends Of Poe’s Gym,
🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
As always, we want to thank the success of our gym to our great members and friends around the globe!!! You have kept us open during COVID!!!
💥🇺🇸💥🇺🇸💥
We would like to make you aware of a good cause to drop a few dollars. We want to let you know what happened a few nights ago to one of our biggest satellite members/supporters in Kentucky.
🇺🇸💥🇺🇸💥🇺🇸
Fletcher Long and his family’s home completely burned to the ground leaving the entire family with no place to live and left with nothing but the clothes on their backs . They barely got out alive losing three pets and all of their possessions. Our number one member, part of the glue who has held our gym together, and a great real estate agent, Felicia Long, is Fletcher’s sister. His son William Long is a Kentucky State Powerlifting Champion, an outstanding student, and a freshman, scholarship football player at Centre College.
🇺🇸💥🇺🇸💥🇺🇸
Again, if you are looking for an opportunity to give, here is a situation that you may want to consider at this moment. Thank you.

💥🇺🇸Please give tribute to Gary Nance.

💥🇺🇸Gary Nance, far left in the first picture, a satellite member of Poe’s Gym is the epitome of HEART. Last year Gary was nationally recognized on television and other media outlets as being one of the first COVID-19 patients to be on a ventilator AND recovered!!

💥🇺🇸Aside from his great family, friends, and frontliners who supported him, he credits his change, of once being over 300 pounds, to becoming a champion bodybuilder in Indianapolis, a great foundation to help “CREATE SEPARATION®” from COVID-19.

💥🇺🇸Gary always visits Poe’s Gym when he is in Tennessee, buys all of our gear to take back home to his friends, AND hits a workout session with Josh Scott and Matt Poe.

💥🇺🇸Don’t be fooled…LOL…Josh and Gary are bodybuilders (they diet)…Matt is definitely the power lifter in the group (thinks about dieting).

💥🇺🇸We cherish our members AND our members make our gym great! Gary makes our gym spectacular!

💥🇺🇸We love you brother AND are happy you are above ground!!!
