It has been a while. Today was an excellent episode as I have been trying to get my schedule to align with Jordan for a while. Jordan Feigenbaum from Barbell Medicine, www.barbellmedicine.com joined me today to discuss resistance training and trying to bring it to the forefront of public health recommendations. We both share a passion for this idea and we as coaches and clinicians need to understand the benefits FAR outweigh the risks. It is time to help the world get after it.

Sorry for the sound as internet can be spotty in rural parts of our state. We will be talking again so stay tuned for the next part of this conversation when we can get together in a few week.
