On this episode Ryan and I discuss:

  • Ryan's background and influences 
  • I ask Ryan how did he find his experience at ALTIS as a participant and then later as a presenter?
  • What are the good and not so good things that he currently see's with the physical preparation profession, and what solutions would he offer for the not so good things that he see's
  • I ask Ryan to discuss the 5 Training Systems that he covered in his Presentation at ALTIS - Here we ony had enough time to discuss the minimalist and adapt or die approaches. We will discuss the remaining 3 systems when Ryan comes part for Part 2!
  • This was an outstanding episode and I hope you all enjoy it as much as we did!

    Stay Strong,

    RB
