Dean Somerset is one of those mysterious guys on the internet. While we’ve emailed and Skyped numerous times over the years, we’ve still never crossed paths in real life. However, he’s a guy I have a ton of respect for, and who is doing some great work in our industry.

In this show, Dean and I talk about how he got started in the world of physical preparation, he gives us an A-to-Z rundown on the hips, and he wraps up by giving us one of the best answers I’ve ever had on this podcast.

This was a really fun show and I hope you enjoy it. Let’s do this!

Here's a brief overview of what we covered in this episode:

* How Dean got started in the world of physical preparation.

* What made him so passionate about learning anatomy and biomechanics.

* Why the hips are one of the most critical areas of the body to train properly, whether you're an athlete or an executive.

* The assessment process he takes people through to determine hip structure and function.

* How he would deal with a "hot mess" to get them moving and feeling great again.

* The biggest mistakes he sees trainers and coaches make with regards to training the hips.

* Dean's best piece of advice to trainers who want to keep their clients and athletes healthy.

* The BIG Question.

* A fun lightning round where we talk about Tony Gentilcore's finest moment, the books he's reading, some insight into the release of the Complete Hip and Shoulder Blueprint, and Dean even flips the script and asks me a question (male grooming tips ensue).
