In episode 114, Ed Coan & Dr. Stuart McGill sit down for a conversation on all things back mechanics when lifting. Dr. McGill is THE foremost authority on back mechanics in the world. His entire career has centered around studying the spine, how it becomes injured and ways we can successfully rehab and get back to a high level of performance. He is the author of many books including my favorites: Back Mechanic and The Gift of Injury. On the other hand, Ed Coan is simply the greatest powerlifter of all time. Period.
