Now the co-owner of Framework BJJ, he's found himself in the same position he's been in for decades, running a gym and eating/sleeping/breathing physical training.

In one of the most inspiring podcasts to date, I caught up with Dylan Suarez, a PhD from ETSU and a sport scientist for the Cincinnati Reds. We cover a range of topics, looking at Dylan's time in academia, including research he's done on block periodization and how that changes a weightlifter's physiology. We then shifted focus, exploring his time interning at the UFC Performance Institute before moving into Major League Baseball.
