Today, I speak with Ryan Conley, a fireman, International elite powerlifter, and an Anger Management & Strength coach. I’ve worked with him personally on understanding movement patterns and proper programming. He’s also competed in karate, mixed martial arts, and wrestling, so Ryan is a wealth of knowledge about sports competition. He is also working towards his Master’s degree in exercise physiology. 

We talk about:

-transgender athletes in sport

-fairness in sport

-differences in genders in sport

-going through puberty

-biological differences

-changes after hormonal supplementation

-litigation in the sport of powerlifting

-cultural trends
