STRONG Life Podcast ep 254 with Alan Thrall.

This was a LOG overdue podcast with Alan. I've been following Alan's training and online presence for a while now and it's been awesome to watch him and his business grow.

Alan is the owner of Untamed Strength in Sacramento, Ca. His gym caters to powerlifting, strongman and all around strength training. He is the sole owner / operator and has NO employees. He edits his own videos, runs his gym and is about to expand his gym for the 3rd time.
