In this week’s podcast episode #48 we are thrilled to bring you our conversation with Jeff Casebolt PhD. Jeff is an instructor at West Texas A&M University.

Jeff has been actively involved in the fitness industry since 1991, working as a personal trainer, strength and conditioning coach, and corporate fitness coordinator.

Along with his teaching and research, Jeff is also Director of Biomechanical Research for Dynavec Multi-Directional Resistance Systems. Dynavec has developed several amazing machines that allow the user to simultaneously provide meaningful resistance against muscular actions across several planes of motion. The jewel in the crown of the Dynavec line is the Gluteator.

This multi-directional vectoring allows for a more complete stimulus as well as helping support the development of more injury resistant athletes.

Although Jeff has a strong connection to working with athletic populations, the Dynavec machines are effective for fitness participants at all levels.

His research interests include increasing function with strength training across all ages, lower body power development, injury mechanisms, and fall prevention among the elderly.

A group of elderly people are riding exercise bikes in a gym.

Jeff knows that with regards to fall prevention in the senior population, the safest most efficient, and effective way to effect positive change is through the application of evidence-based strength training protocols.

TAKU’s NOTE: I was very fortunate while at the REC 2019 to have the opportunity to meet both Jeff Casebolt and, Kent Fulks: designer, creator, and mad-scientist behind the Dynavec Gluteator. If your gym doesn’t have a Gluteator…You better get one NOW!!

Strength Training for Women Over 50: Busting Myths and Building Power

By Liam "TAKU" Bauer • July 7, 2025
When it comes to women and strength training—especially women over 50—the myths run deep and wide. As a coach with decades of experience helping people of all ages and abilities get stronger, I’ve seen firsthand how damaging these outdated ideas can be. But here’s the truth: strength training is not just for young athletes or men who want to get "jacked." In fact, if you’re a woman over 50, strength training might be the most powerful tool you have to reclaim your health, boost your confidence, and age with strength and grace.

Balance Isn’t About Age—It’s About Strength

By Liam "TAKU" Bauer • June 30, 2025
Let’s set the record straight: losing your balance as you age is not inevitable. Despite what many believe, balance isn’t something you just “lose” over time like your hairline or your car keys. The truth is, most balance issues that show up later in life stem from something far more preventable—loss of strength and muscle mass.

Why the Last Rep is the Safest (and the First is the Most Dangerous)

By Liam "TAKU" Bauer • June 2, 2025
When people think about injury risk during strength training, they often imagine something going wrong during the last rep of a hard set. That’s when you’re exhausted, your muscles are screaming, and the weight feels impossible. It seems like the danger would be highest right there, right?... Wrong.
