In this episode, I am with Zach Greenwald from Strength Ratio. Zach is a Strength Coach and Corrective Exercise Specialist with seven years of coaching experience. His clients have included professional GRID athletes, CrossFit Regional athletes, and National Champions in Olympic Weightlifting. 

Through his programming and coaching, he has resolved shoulder, hip, back, and knee pain for those and many other Strength Ratio clients. He also elaborated some of his philosophies and a lot of actionable information. He also gave a flexibility test along with a case study from Travis Cooper as he was getting ready for the World Championships and he will share a lot of his experiences.

We talk about the importance of air squats, the most common injuries, how to locate mobility issues and so much more.
