Manage episode 330334693 series 3143286
In this episode we are joined by Tom Hamilton who talks to us about his journey into the fitness industry, recovering from an ACL injury twice and why it's really really important to look strong, and also kind of important to lift strong too.
For those who don't know, Tom has been working in the fitness industry for 9 years and has worked with a wide range of people from everyday athletes to bodybuilders, powerlifting world champions and professional athletes. He currently works as a coach at W10 performance alongside his role as head of education in the IFBA and his online coaching company Lift Strong - Look Strong. Tom has also competed in bodybuilding and powerlifting, with a highlight being winning the World Drug Free Powerlifting championships in 2016 in the u82.5kg category.
We talk through where most people tend to go wrong with their strength training alongside some nuances of programming for strength.
As Tom is also an expert on coaching general population clients as well as elite powerlifters, we speak a bit about how a programme might differ between the two.
