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!
