On this episode of The Iron Edge Podcast, Ken sits down with one of the legendary Hadge Brothers, Nick Hadge. Nick rose very quickly through the ranks of strongman competing on a world stage in both junior and open categories. Known for his HUGE deadlift and a more emotional focussed approach to training, Nick is also a very successful coach to many athletes. In this episode, Ken & Nick cover topics from the extremes of top level strength athletics, to more fundamental things such as movement prep and his advice to younger athletes.
As always, you aren’t going to want to miss this!
