Ryan Ignatz and Dr. Andy Pruitt join us to discuss gear, testing, and all the other things you can do in the off season to set yourself up for the upcoming year.
Dr. Brendan Egan joins our hosts to explain what happens in our muscles after a hard training session that causes us to get stronger and faster.
