My guest this week is no other than Mike Tuchscherer
Sometimes life gives you the strangest curveballs.
In 2014 i was in OHIO in USA for the Arnolds sports festival.
A huge convention that houses all kinds of power and fitness sports.
I was there as a coach and tourist and i got to see so many of the greats.
In the powerlifting area i had the chance to meet Mike and we had a short talk.
More memorable for me than him ofcourse.
In 2022 i was in Africa with the world championships and the same Mike was there.
I have a list over some people that i want to do a podcast with, before I retire, and Mike (also Bonica) is on the top of that list.
So i asked him expecting a No, but to my surprise he said yes.
Currently, Mike's achievements include:
