Hey everyone, Vancouver Radio, episode number 252.

So this podcast is an interesting one because it's probably the first podcast that I've done that has kind of come quickly off the back

of another podcast to kind of address some controversy.

So it's interesting.

The last podcast I did on powerlifting developed probably the most amount of kind of

negativity around a podcaster I probably actually ever done.

A couple of people have said things in the past like, oh, I didn't quite agree with that or, you know, I think you were a little bit

agist or you know, think people have said things before and that's great. Everyone's got their own opinion and it helps me

improve my delivery and think about different populations different situations

all that kind of stuff but anyway quite a few people you're sort of posted on Instagram, like you don't know what you're talking about,

you know, powerlifting, X, Y and Z, and what I did I thought, right, who can I get on this podcast relatively quickly who knows a good amount about powerlifting knows a good amount about research and more importantly knows a lot about being objective and critical.

So I welcome to the show Tom Bainbridge.

Tom Bainbridge hello.

So to give you a little bit of background Tom works with me within the business

within largely body type nutrition Tom mentors our students. Tom,

Tom compiles notes.

Tom is critical about the current research that exists in the market.

Tom coaches himself. Tom has been in and around fitness for a long time and Tom

actually trained if I was to class Tom as anything I would class him as a powerlifter would that be fair to say Tom

I think the best way to say is that I train in a powerlifting style

Okay cool I'm hesitant to call myself a power lifting style. Okay, cool.

I'm hesitant to call myself a power lifter being that I have never actually been on the platform.
