228: Tom Sheppard - Becoming The Warrior in The Garden

Tom Sheppard (@phoenixperformancetraining) is a strength and powerlifting coach who works with professional athletes in a variety of sports. He is also an educator through speaking at industry-leading events and the multitude of content he puts out on various online platforms including elitefts, T-Nation and more.

Tom is one of those rare special people in fitness who deeply understands all the science and the nuance of all things fitness at the highest levels, and at the same time, appreciates and coaches on a ton of the “soft skills” as related to overall health and wellness. The key here is that these things go hand in hand. It’s not either/or - it’s both.

We are bombarded with more information than ever before and also bombarded by more distractions and things negatively impacting our mental health outside of the gym. Tom and I discuss all of it and how to approach finding that sweet spot for you and your goals.

Whether you’re trying to squat 1000lbs, or trying to get out of your bedroom to go for a walk, the struggles are largely related, and you will find something in this discussion that will help you. If you do, please share this episode with a friend who you know will also benefit from it.
