Tara Weaver Fitness

Today's workout comes from MMA s&c coach, Mike Perry of Chelmsford, Mass! Back in 2016, I took Mike's Strongfirst Barbell Course and PR'd my deadlift at 180 lbs for 3 reps. Mike and Dan are rockstars and I'm lucking to have met and taken workshops with them both. Mike recently interveiwed Dan John on his podcast, Principles of Performance Link.
