The Flex Diet Podcast is brought to you by the Flex Diet Certification. Go to flexdiet.com for 8 interventions on nutrition and recovery. If you’re outside the enrollment window, sign up for my free newsletter, and you’ll be notified when it opens! Dr. Tommy Wood from The Bro Research Center is here to talk about his first strongman competition. We go through several topics that teach how to look at programming for a goal, and we encourage you to try a competition yourself. We also discuss how to program both aerobics and strength training in the same week and programming to increase grip strength, an often overlooked component of strength work.
