Coach, content creator, lifter, and someone whom I consider to be one of the most thoughtful voices in the strength and nutrition community at-large, Ian McCarthy joins us this week to discuss topics ranging from his personal battle with clinical depression, to the right way to apply science to your training, and much more.
