In this episode, I am with Travis Mash. He's a powerlifting world champion who currently holds the “All-Time Pound for Pound World Record.” He was coaching different athletes for almost 21 years. His work with NFL players, Olympic weightlifters, powerlifters, and athletes across many other disciplines. He is also known for Shifting Paradigms and helping his athletes get mentally tough. He's also doing some big things to grow the sport of weightlifting that we love so much. He has his own blog and podcast that you can check out in the show notes or at Mashelite.com. 

We talked about some of the myths behind the popular squat everyday program, myths about training youth athletes, and some advice on how you can work with them. And how to make sure that you're focusing on the right things when it comes to eliminating your weaknesses.
