Interview with Dr. Stuart McGill

In this two part series, Chris Duffin sits down with Dr. Stuart McGill. Dr. McGill is the leading researcher on Biomechanics in the world. He is a professor of spine biomechanics at the University of Waterloo (Waterloo, ON, Canada). His advice is often sought by governments, corporations, legal experts and elite athletes and teams from around the world. Difficult back cases are regularly referred to him for consultation.

In this second piece they discuss where athletes often go wrong in their warmup routines and the impact to their performance. Following their easily incorporated suggestions for improved competition and training prep will increase your performance and reduce your risk of injury.

In this rare interview, McGill and Chris share their passion for engineering and design outside of the human body and movement. In this first piece Dr Mcgill and Duffin reach into discussions about vehicle suspension and chassis design and relate the same processes to ‘tuning’ of the human body for performance.

Interview with Leroy Walker

In this interview I sit down with up-and-coming raw bench press specialist Leroy “The Machine” Walker. Leroy is 38 years old and has a 675-pound competition bench press to his name with a narrow miss at 705 pounds at Relentless Detroit last year following a bar misload. Leroy started in the sport in his teenage years but took a break from lifting and competing for a number of years in his late 20’s and 30’s. In his return to the sport he is making a quick name for himself in his quest to be the next 700+ raw bencher.

It is evident in our discussion that Leroy is a ‘tactician’ when it comes to his training approach. He gives a lot of thought to what he is doing and is constantly assessing his press, training methodology, and recovery methods. It was a pleasure to be able to have some time to begin discussing some of these topics. While we only scratched the surface in this interview, we made plans to dive further into depth in a series of interviews in the future. Look forward to more great lifting from Leroy “The Machine” Walker as well as more content from this gentleman in the future.
