On today's episode, I address one of the most commonly asked questions in all of strength and conditioning and that is the question of "What is the single best exercise for performance gains?".  I receive this question or some other variation of this question all of the time.  I understand that people's curiosity of this question is brought on by trying to make sense of the overwhelming amount of information in the performance world and that is why I wanted to do an episode covering this topic.
