Discussing Westside Barbell With Wil Fleming

October 9, 2012/by Martin Bingisser

It’s been five years since I finished my collegiate eligibility and unfortunately that has been enough time for many of my competitors to retire. However it has been fun to see how successful they have become at their new ventures. One such person is Wil Fleming. Wil and I competed against each other in college while he was at Indiana University in Bloomington. At the 2006 NCAA championships he beat me by a few inches while we both earned All-American honors. He kept throwing after school and went on to throw 69.97 meters in 2008. Since then he has stepped away from the sport to launch Force Fitness and Performance together with former shot put and discus thrower Ryan Ketchum.

    nice analogy between a balanced meal and a balanced training regime. I’m going to use that one!

    […] great blog and podcast, we still keep in touch to talk about training occasionally. A few years ago I did an interview for his blog about Westside Barbell. This year he provided input in our coaching roundtable about Olympic lifting for the throws. And […]
