Pat Davidson has got to be one of the smartest meatheads I’ve ever met. With a Ph.D. in exercise physiology and a career in strongman, the guy has pushed the limits both physically and mentally.

In this show, Pat and I are going to discuss his diverse athletic background, why he got into education, and what it takes to be a great strongman.
