    Episode 7 with Nathan Baxter

    Nathan Baxter, one man who has seen Powerlifting scheme in Australia develop since it emerges. To say that this man is experienced is probably an understatement, I believe Nathan's depth of knowledge in almost 2 decades being in Powerlifting will definitely raise some eyebrows on some of the things we can definitely learn from him Nathan's background in Neuroscience allows him to see things from a different lense when it comes to athletic development from a coaching perspective. Join us as he takes me into a deep drive towards the forgotten art of Flow State & just to simply listen to us yarn about all things Powerlifting.
