The Journey to Strength Training

The speaker discusses his personal journey into strength training, which began at an early age with the inspiration from Arnold Schwarzenegger's book, 'The Encyclopedia of Bodybuilding.' Initially pursuing a career in law, he quickly realized that his true passion lay in fitness and coaching, which shifted his focus dramatically. His early experiences as an athlete, including struggles with overtraining and injuries, prompted him to seek knowledge from seasoned professionals in the field. A pivotal moment in his career occurred when he met Buddy Morris, the strength and conditioning coach for the Arizona Cardinals, who introduced him to the depth of training knowledge and inspired him to dedicate himself to continuous learning.
