Description

What happens when Gunnar Peterson, Luke Milton, and Jen Widerstrom roll into the final day of Summer Strong on less than four hours of sleep and with a giddiness that only comes with being surrounded by the best of the best in Strength and Conditioning? You get conversations that start with testicular health, spiral into microplastics, and land on Lee Haney’s legendary wisdom. In this episode of The Kids Table, the crew recaps their weekend at one of the most iconic gatherings in fitness. It’s equal parts classroom, family reunion, and deadlift party.


They cover the highlights of the event, from the inspiration of eight-time Mr. Olympia Lee Haney to unexpected takeaways on tech, training, and community. You’ll hear candid reflections on what makes Summer Strong unlike any other event in the industry, plus the kind of unfiltered banter only this trio can deliver. Expect big laughs, plenty of truth bombs, and a reminder that sometimes just showing up is the most important rep of all.
