What is Hammer and Chisel?
The hammer and the chisel are the tools of the sculptor. The hammer is responsible for delivering the blows of force, the chisel responsible for shaping the marble. The hammer and the chisel represent the unity of the different sides of what we bring. Performance and physique. Intelligent programming and hard nosed work ethic. Training and nutrition. Bringing these components together to shape and create the end product.
Who am I?
My name is Jon Heck. I played football at the University of North Carolina where I was a 4 year starter and 2x All-ACC selection at offensive tackle for the Tar Heels. I graduated with a degree in Exercise Sport Science, and immediately received certifications as a nutritionist and strength and conditioning coach. I began my career as a strength and conditioning coach and spent nearly a decade working in football strength and conditioning at the NFL and Division-1 college level, as well as working in the private sector at a combine prep facility. I competed at a high level in powerlifting and strongman, and have always been passionate about strength sports in general. A big part of my educational background is in nutrition, and that has been a large component of my coaching in football and the private sector.
