A clean, civilised, and incredibly thought provoking chat. If that’s what you’re after, this one’s not for you

In all seriousness, these boys are highly respected coaches within the industry and Tyler absolutely loved having them down for a laid-back chat! There was passion, shouting, and a lot of swearing. Chris (Dirk) is one of the best up and coming coaches in Australia; the Head of Performance at Woodford Sport Science Consulting shares some of his learnings from his time in the College system at Iowa. Jeremy (Brick) is a beast of a powerlifter, currently transitioning from athlete development to coaching powerlifting. His energy in the gym is unmatched.
