0:00.0 | Okay, welcome everyone to a new episode of the Jeff Nippard podcast. In this episode, I'm speaking |
0:04.5 | with Dr. Brett Contreras. For those of you who don't know, Brett has a PhD in sports science from |
0:10.2 | AUT University, a master's degree from Arizona State University. He's got a certified |
0:14.6 | strength and conditioning specialist with distinction, and he's the co-founder of the S&C Research |
0:19.9 | Review, and he's authored a bunch of books, |
0:22.1 | including strong curves, body weight, strength training anatomy. He's the inventor of the hip thruster |
