Hey everyone. Thanks for tuning in to Power Athlete Radio. Hold on your jeans shorts because this

week we're bringing you a special audio treat. Talk to me, Johnny, on the long road,

is coming at you in podcast form. By popular demand, we've painstakingly gone through a highly

technical and elaborate process to convert the video interview with one of our favorite

guests, Raphael Ruiz. When the brains of John Wellborn and Rath collide, several things are

sure to happen. Bullshit gets battled. Three hours of conversation reveals that Texas body hair

facilitates a form of resisted running. And our listeners will want to punch any coach in the mouth

who picks their program solely based on what the best athlete in the world is doing. Sit back,

relax, and enjoy this lengthy journey down the long road. This is episode 174.

What's happening?

Welcome to another episode of Talk to Me Johnny Live, The Long Road.

I am joined today with my good friend Raphael Ruiz, world-renowned strength coach, and Uber Ninja of things that we don't even know about.

So, Ralph, please introduce yourself and then we'll get rocking and rolling.

And thanks for being on Talk to me, Johnny Live.

Well, thank you for having me, Johnny.

I appreciate it.

Always love coming out to this beautiful weather out here in California hate the traffic well nobody likes

traffic I mean we were as we were driving in today from picking up in Long Beach

bumper and there's eight line or eight lanes another side.
