Joe DeFranco is one of the most respected trainers in the world. His Gym in New Jersey has become legendary with top pro athletes walking in and out of his door on a regular basis. He is known for working with some of the strongest and fastest athletes on the planet.
I was fortunate to be able to train for almost two weeks at his facility. On my last day there Joe was kind enough to spend some of his time with me for this interview to help out young aspiring strength coaches around the world.

This summer Joe hosts a World Strongman Competition at his Gym in Wyckoff, NJ. Everybody is welcomed to compete there. On July 11th athletes from Europe, Canada, Mexiko and the US will be competing for the DeFrancos World Strongest Man title. This is a charity event to help out a Multiple Sclerosis Foundation and the St. Jude's Hospital, so join Joe DeFranco helping the community and live STRONG!

People come on. Hes in the NFL. Far more athletes in the NFL r on roids and HGH than the public thinks.HGH is actually the most common drug used and the main purpose is to stay healthy. Most athletes in the NFL r on the same level strength wise so the biggest problem is staying healthy and HGH helps a ton. Why do u think the NFLPA is giving the league so much shit about implementing HGH testing? They r not stupid they know whats going on.

As an American, I'm sick of the hypocrisy surrounding steroid use. Most people think that using steroids makes you a lowlife piece of shit despite knowing almost nothing about them, yet they want to watch athletes perform superhuman feats, like you can do that on Gatorade and chicken breasts alone. It's fucking bullshit.

Id do anything to train at his gym

[roydcop]

What you "see" and what is happening are two different things. Masking steroids, (hgh, insulin etc) use is now the game that most athletes are playing ...You admitted , quite honestly (respect) that at your div 2 school players are doing it. Defrancos athletes make huge gains MOSTLY because of the drug use. DO some athletes do drugs AND work hard ..of course. Its stil CHEATING and still sucks because it is a form of theft Clean athletes lose out cause they refuse to CHEAT.

@roydcop no have not seen anything besides Cushing's test. that story that came where he talked about his frequent training schedule resulting in an abnormal increase in the hormone level that caused him to fail the test. he talked about having scientific studies to back it up, but he never cited them. people do not realize that steroid use is so common in many sports. many of the football players at the college I attended use some kind of PED and we are Div. II. love defranco's by the way

[roydcop]

@tfox218 Any articles or evidence on Defrancos using PED's ? Thank You.

[roydcop]

Encourages drug use ....SAD

[elykdavid]

Defranco is fucking awesome. 

[tfox218]

@atlgville75 what is sad is that he still could have been a good linebacker in the NFL, but just like an enormous amount of other athletes he took the easy way out. Now, no matter what he does during his time in the NFL, the fact that he was caught doing roids will always be out there.
