It was an absolute pleasure to have this guy as a guest on Strength Chat this week. In this episode I was joined by the founder of Barbell Rehab and a Doctor of Physical Therapy, Dr. Michael Mash.

This is because of the stigma around all strength training being just powerlifting or weightlifting. That’s not necessarily the case.
