Physical Preparation with Todd Bumgardner - Robertson Training Systems

Todd Bumgardner is a guy who I’d heard about for a years, but didn’t actually meet until this past January at a seminar here at IFAST.

Needless to say, he’s a guy I have a ton of respect for and who is doing things the right way.

Now let me tell you something up front – this is a really good interview. We cover topics like the importance of environment, the three types of people you’ll encounter in the gym, and Todd’s thoughts on internal versus external cuing.

There are some really great nuggets in here, and I hope you enjoy the show.
