Zach Caswell is the head coach of Optimus Barbell, a strength coach for three high schools in the state of Michigan, and a man who has been in the weightlifting and sport performance trenches for decades.

In this episode of the podcast we discuss Zach's athletic background, how his ability to outwork was developed, what got him into weightlifting, and why he's relatively unknown in the sport.

This is the first podcast that Zach has been on and it did not dissapoint. If you like his approach to weightlifting and sport performance, follow him here:
