Broderick Chavez is a world-renowned biologist and sports performance coach. Broderick is known as “the drug guy” in the sports performance world, but he also is a book of knowledge when it comes to structuring strength and conditioning programs for elite-level athletes. Today, Broderick and I discuss the current COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic. Later on in the podcast, we move on to talk about HRV, blood pressure and optimal heart rate thresholds at rest.
