This episode is jam packed with training and business info. Andy Baker and I go for 2 hours as we chat about his early start up days into being a Strength Coach and how Andy has evolved today. 

Here's just some of the topics we covered:

  • Thoughts on owning a gym and how Andy's gym has evolved through the almost 20 years of being a gym owner
  • The power of balancing an online business with a brick and mortar gym 
  • Lessons learned from my mentor, Ryan Lee
  • How does Andy keep clients for 15+ years!?
  • The two books Andy co-authored; The Barbell Prescription with Dr. Jonathon M. Sullivan and Practical Programming for Strength Training with Mark Rippetoe 
  • The "Help Yourself" Story that taught me how hard is too hard with regards to strength training 
  • Andy's favorite training program for building size and strength inspired by Kirk Karwoski and Marty Gallagher 
  • Early days of CrossFit and lessons learned from websites and web forums of the early 2000s such as Deep Squatter 

We discuss much more and this was a BEAST of an episode.
