4.              What are your favorite things to coach?
Deadlift, Squats, and Bench! I also love teaching the olympic lifts, as well as movements that we do not see on a regular basis.

    good stuff Paul. You clearly have the enthusiasm for this stuff, but I'd like to see you showcase your sandwich technique one day. Maybe this year's Festivus?
