If you’re a strength and conditioning or physical preparation coach who wants to level up your assessment and sports science game, then you’re going to love this episode.

Ryan Patrick is owner of Peak Fitness & Sports Training (aka PeakFAST) in Erlanger, Kentucky. In the years that I’ve known Ryan he’s been a competitive powerlifter, gotten his Masters Degree, and run an incredibly successful fitness business.

But most importantly, Ryan is someone whose ideals and philosophies really parallel my won, which is probably why we get along so well!

In this show we dive into Bill Hartman’s model, the technology he’s using in his gym to assess his athletes, and how he’s using those assessments to drive superior programs.

I will get you as strong as humanly possible until it stops transferring over to what we actually need. – Ryan Patrick
