Learn why he advocates squats, deadlifts and hip-hinges for folks of all ages. (Normally we hear the opposite, “don’t load your spine…squatting is bad for your back.” etc.. but he’ll share why learning to brace via powerlifting.)
He explains why hinging from the hips, leg and back strength is important for everyone–especially as we age!
