[SPECIAL EPISODE] Pat Davidson & Evan Peikon : All Things Hypertrophy || Episode #23 [EN]

Evan Peikon is a coach, a translational sports scientist, and an educator at the Training Think Tank HQ in Atlanta, GA. Evan is a former track & field athlete and has learned from world-leading experts in applied muscle physiology and performance. His goal is to identify limiting factors in sports performance and develop methods to break through those barriers, and he has experience working with athletes on-site and remotely across the U.S. and internationally.
