The most informative episode of the podcast so far, this is two hours of the boys debating the conjugate programming style with guest Chris Bridgeford dropping knowledge bombs all over the place. There is also some discussion on powerlifting coefficient formulas, changes to next year’s Kern U.S. Open, and simple strategies to mitigate minor injuries.
