Physical Preparation with Chris Merritt - Robertson Training Systems

Chris Merritt is a super interesting guy, and trying to narrow the scope of this show was tough. He has a successful gym, has trained high-level MMA fighters, and is doing some really cool stuff online as well.

However, in this episode, we’re going to focus on his work with tactical athletes. Just a few of the topics we cover include how Chris would build the perfect tactical athlete, how he assesses and programs for these athletes, and we also have one of the best lightning rounds of all time.

Let’s do this!
