27 Apr Greg Nuckols – A Masterclass In The Squat
(#171) Greg Nuckols, Founder of Strengtheory, joins me on the podcast this week to talk all about squatting – and so much more.
Greg is a strength coach, world-class drug free powerlifter, fitness writer, and creator of Strengtheory. His passion is synthesizing scientific research and in-the-trenches experience to stay at the forefront of the strength game, and to become the best coach and athlete possible. With best lifts including a 755 lb squat, a 475 lb bench press, and a 725 lb deadlift, Greg has become one of the strongest drug-free athletes in the world.
