Please note that due to some internet issues in my area, the audio quality is fairly poor at the beginning. We switch from video to audio only at 10:23 and the audio is excellent from then on.
During this conversation, Luke describes the agenda for the 6th Annual Resistance Exercise Conference (formerly HIT Resurgence Conference)
It's taking place on the 1st and 2nd April in Minneapolis at the Commons Hotel. The conference features 5 Keynote Presentations; multiple "TED Talk" style, 15 minute presentations; hands on training demos; a speaker roundtable, and an early morning workout. Speakers include a mix of strength coaches, researchers, and practitioners including strength/hypertrophy researchers Dr. James Steele and James Fisher (both at Southampton Solent University in the United Kingdom), Dr. Teresa Liu-Ambrose from University of British Colombia, and Mike Rehfeldt, basketball strength and conditioning coach at the University of Cincinnati.
Transcription eBook
After a few requests, I decided to create a transcription eBook. The eBook contains the first 14 Corporate Warrior interviews (Dr Doug McGuff, Ben Greenfield, Drew Baye, Skyler Tanner, Dr James Steele, Bill DeSimone etc). It's over 130,000 words and allows you to zero in on your specific interests. It's a beast.
Just like the podcast, this eBook is packed with wisdom on how to build muscle, burn fat, boost vitality, improve sleep, reduce stress, improve productivity, and even start/grow a business, etc.
It's available for only $25 US / £17.67.
