In this episode of the TNP Podcast, I had the pleasure of speaking to massage therapist and coach Marco DeLeon (@movement.matters.yyc).

We cover a ton:

• How Marco got to where he is today 
• How he incorporates massage therapy into his personal training sessions and vice versa
• What are some of the biggest obstacles that his clients face  
• His philosophies around strength training and periodization as a whole

We cover:

How David got into powerlifting
His performance-enhancing drug journey and how he applies PEDs to his training 
How David trains his clients and himself for powerlifting
