OM DENNE EPISODE
In this episode, I'm talking to Blake Bowman, a postural alignment and corrective exercise coach who's been in this industry for over a decade. During that period, he learned that health and performance is a chess board consisting of many critical moving pieces.
Blake has been a guinea pig almost his entire life. After suffering a grueling injury, he couldn't find help to get his body repaired. He could lift 500 pounds on a deadlift at one point but couldn't go on a hike. So, he took matters into his own hands and learned how to fix himself. Today, he's stronger, has better posture, and is healthier than ever.
Through GuerillaZen Fitness, he now uses that experience to help people perform and train better without any muscle imbalances and injuries and be at 100% capacity at all times.
Today, we discuss how to stop your body from declining, balancing training with self-reflection and reconnecting with nature, the crisis of masculinity, and much more.
