I got on a Zoom call with Coach Boyle and Bobby Stroupe, founder of APEC in Texas.

Bobby was influenced by Gary Gray’s system and he did a really good presentation about his system that Coach Boyle saw and loved and wanted to get him on so we did a joint interview.

We spoke about:

Gary’s influence on both coaches, with athletes that were having problems
Where Boyle saw a disconnect with the system
How Bobby has overcome some of the things Boyle has had issues with
The Functional Training Grid explained
How the system is more than just a warm up
Recommendations for using the system with other systems- taking what is useful
