If you would have asked me even a few weeks ago what I truly thought of online coaches, I would have given you a very blunt and honest assessment of the current crop of online gurus.

Here's what I would have said:

They're all bullshit.

Then I spoke with Cody McBroom. This guy knows his shit, to say the least. He's an incredibly knowledgable trainer in his own right, but transitioned into a mainly online platform for delivering his programming. 

I must say that after sitting down with him, my eyes are opened a little wider than they were before. If only we could get to a point where online coaches were of this caliber. 

Babe Ruth didn't step on the field to not swing for the fences. When I set out to start a podcast, I reached out to everyone who, in my humble opinion, was a legend in their own right. This episode is no less of an example as those that came before. Jim Wendler is an enigma. Why on earth would he agree to take part in a podcast with someone who he's never met nor heard about? Simple. He doesn't market himself. Why? He's Jim Wendler. He wrote 5/3/1, among other things. Powerlifter, strength coach, mentor, and industry leader. He's not really a fan of social media, either. He's too busy doing what he was put on this planet to do: train. 

Here's a fun fact about this episode: 

It was recorded in my bathroom. My computer was on my sink and my chair was...well...yeah. 

At least it's not a video.
