"Joe Kenn is one of the most knowledgeable and experienced strength coaches in the game today.  His methods have had a great influence on me and how I train my athletes, and his book, The Coach's Strength Training Playbook, is one of my all time favorites.  In fact, it is one of the first books I recommend to aspiring strength coaches, and one that I refer to and reread regularly."

The Tier System is the most functional and versatile training system for training athletes at various levels.  It's multi-dimensional approach gets the most out of an athlete in the weightroom.  I have used the Tier System at the collegiate level for many years and have since adapted it to the professional, high school and middle school athletes that I work with in the private setting.  It was created for an athlete, by an athlete.

"The Tier System is one of the best programs I've ever used in the weight room.  Its ease of use and flexibility to change exercises and percentages makes it one of the best on the market.  I highly recommend it to make your weight room programming much easier."

"I have had the opportunity to use the Tier System in the college and high school environment, and had great success at both levels.  The Tier System is a systematic rotation of movements that shifts and rotates daily according to the focus of the day.  This program is easy to implement, result orientated, and it challeneges the athletes to compete on a daily basis.  I would recommend these philosophies to be used at any level."
