If you couldn't make it to the JL Holdsworth, Swede Burns, and Casey Williams training camp last weekend, you missed a lot. From the Q&A to the hands-on coaching to the Sunday training day, the weekend was full of opportunities to learn from some of the best powerlifting coaches in the industry, with decades of knowledge and experience to their names.
The good news for those of you that didn't make it is this: we're sharing a small snapshot of this information with you now, here in video form. As part of Saturday's morning session, JL, Swede, and Casey had an open question-and-answer session to allow attendees to learn about the topics they needed covered. This video showcases the first question of the day.
