Matt Wenning is a rare combination of high level education (Masters Degree in Biomechanics) and high level competition success (3x World Champion powerlifter and multiple record holder). Matt joins me to share his thoughts on:

-Biomechanics, specifically practical and tactical nuance, and underrated ideas he feels aren’t utilized often enough

-Why he feels variety is important but how to apply variety

-Why experienced lifters may benefit from thoughtful variety in their programming and why newer lifters benefit more from more time focusing on consistent skills

-How to train for power and explosiveness

-How to get strong

-And much more
