If you lift weights, you’re going to love this episode, and even if you don’t lift weights you’re going to get something out of it.<\/p>\n

About a year ago I had powerlifter Chris Duffin<\/a> on the podcast to discuss his inspiring story of overcoming childhood poverty to become one of the strongest men on earth, and a successful family and business man as well. We also got into the philosophy of strength and into specific strength training tips. If you haven’t listened to the episode yet, go check it out<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I brought Chris back on to the podcast to talk about his recently released Kabuki Movement System<\/a>. For the past few years Chris has been working with some of the best of the field when it comes to body mechanics and how it applies to weight training. And through a series of easy to remember cues, Chris has developed a way for you to be sure your body is properly positioned so you can deadlift<\/a>, squat, and bench press more weight without injuring yourself. Even if you don’t weight train, you’re going to find information in this podcast about breathing and mobility work that can be really useful.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
