Todd has been a player in the iron game for a while now. He started powerlifting at the age of 13. Playing a lot of sports growing up training was always part of the process to become a better athlete.
In college he came to the realization that he enjoyed training just as much if not more than sport, so he decided to pursue his passion for training.
In addition to being super knowledgeable on movement and helping people get strong, one thing that I think separates him as a coach is his ability to synthesize information. He believes one of the most important things you can do as a coach is to read outside of your area of interest so that you can draw, make connections and provide context to the instructions or information you are sharing as a coach.
In this episode we also talk about his training influences, the mistakes he sees people making in the squat, bench and deadlift, and much more.
Let Todd know you enjoyed the interview and connect with him at Todd@beyondstrengthperformance.com.
