Brian is an experienced lifter, the first to squat over 1300 pounds, and an expert on assessing back pain and planning rehab through it. In this episode we discuss Brian's early life, foray into powerlifting, and consequently how he sustained one of the nastiest low back injuries I've seen.

Episode 13 of FORTITUDE Live welcomes on bodybuilding prodigy and Women's Physique Olympian Rachel Daniels, who most recently went from picking up a weight in the gym almost directly to the Olympia stage where she placed 7th in the world. Rachel is a good friend - this episode is significant to me as she chose to be pretty vulnerable about her past. She speaks out about domestic violence and abusive relationships - something I didn't ask her to do, but appreciate nonetheless as it is something I feel very strongly about as well. We joke about college stories, growing up, and talk life perspective as well as the pressures of performing at a high level.
