Welcome to the Boom Boom Performance Podcast, your resource for science-based training and nutrition,

data-driven coaching, and education-focused content. Before we get into this podcast, I just want to say

thank you for taking the time to listen and learn with me so that you can apply what you are

about to learn, take my strategies, use these tools, and finally have

some serious methods to see sustainable success with your physique, your mind, and your life.

This podcast was built on the foundation of applied education, and I'm excited for you to be here

so you can have that experience with me. Now, without any further ado, let's get on to the show.

Today, we have a special guest who is making a third appearance on the podcast.

Somebody I've looked up to for a long

time, who is somebody I would consider a friend now and a great connection to have inside this

industry. Mike Matthews of Legion Supplements, who also runs Muscle for Life, which was once a

blog and now is just his podcast and his Instagram at Muscle for Life Fitness. Mike is a very,

very knowledgeable dude, and he is also somebody who

surrounds himself with unbelievably smart people. I mean, the board of advisors and creators and just

people who are influencing the decisions over at Legion and all the stuff that Mike does is

unbelievable. Not to mention that, he is a published Arthur many times here. I'm not even going to

try to act like I know how many books he's published because it's kind of ridiculous at this point. But the point is, is Mike has been in the industry a long time, both personally and as a business owner and as a coach, as an author, as somebody who is of influence and somebody who is teaching damn near every level of people inside this industry,

which is why I find him very interesting and why I find him very fun to

conversate with because he's very similar to me in the sense that we love to create content,

we love to educate, we love the science,

and we love to break that science down into practical application for the everyday beginner,

the intermediate, and the advanced lifter and or trainer slash coach.
