In episode 16 of The Robby Row Show I am accompanied by Michael Richards who has close to 20 years in the strength training business for athletes. Mike owns and operates a very successful training facility in Benton, AK called Elite Athletic Performance.. now if that doesn't get you fired up I don't know what will.

I will post the show notes below but just know we freestyled most of this podcast (usually the best kinds of podcasts). You can find Mike on the following social media platforms:
