Stay Strong, RB   Show Notes:  Editors Note: During the Podcast (39:50) I mis-spoke when I named James Smith as the mentor I was referring too. I actually meant to say James Fitzgerald of OPEX, not Jame Smith of OPEX obviously. Both James Smith (The Thinker) and James Fitzgerald are wondering friends and mentors of mine, but I did mean to say James Fitzgerald's name.  Some other podcasts Gary has been on: Mike Robertsons Physical Preparation Podcast Episode 27 - Impact Show with Jim Kielbaso Garys PLAE Interview with Ron McKeefery   Show Sponsor: To get INSTANT ACCESS to almost 20 hours of World Class online video Strength and Conditioning Information go to upmentorship.com
