0:08.4	On this episode of the Dr. Tina show, you're in for a real treat. My guest today is Robert Linkle.
0:14.6	Robert has over 22 years working in the strength and conditioning field. And he's well pedigreed and very well educated.
0:21.6	He's also overcome his own health hurdles along the way,
0:24.6	many including orthopedic issues that he's had to learn to work around.

1:40.9	adding muscle. I always say we've got to add a slab of muscle to the bod. So welcome.
