Nick Ratamess is an assistant professor in Health & Exercise Science at the College of New Jersey. He received his PhD in Kinesiology in 2003 from the University of Connecticut. He has published numerous research articles and educational publications and has made a remarkable contribution to the strength & conditioning and sports nutrition fields of research.

Dr. Joseph Dziados, M.D., MPH completed his medical degree at Creighton University in Omaha, NE in 1977. He is residency-trained and board-certified in Family Practice, Public Health and Preventive Medicine, and holds a Certificate of Additional Qualification in Sports Medicine.
He served a full career in the US Army holding many clinical positions, including research and publications in the area of Exercise Physiology and upon retirement continued service as a civil servant for several years. He currently works part-time in Urgent Care.
His passion for many years, has been the application of strength training to the elderly in order to improve function, pain, and overall health. He instituted a Physician-Prescribed Exercise Program (PPEP) for patients over-65 years of age at a major Army medical center which he supervised for 2 years. The results, although not unexpected, serve as a model for what beneficial outcomes elderly patients can achieve with exercise.
Dr. Dziados credits Dr. William Kraemer for his passion and knowledge in strength training—acquired when both served and conducted research in the US Army together. Dr. Dziados lives with his wife, Annette, in Salem, OR.
