Dave Hochberg is the man responsible for getting Max El-Hag into a CrossFit gym.  He put him through his first workout (Fight Gone Bad), introduced him to Brannen Dorman, connected him to OPT (now OPEX), provided business mentorship to TTT, and talked a ton of trash along the way.⁣ ⁣ Dave, 57 years young, now has his eye set on getting back in shape to counteract nature so that he can be in the best shape possible for his 4-month-old child.⁣ ⁣ Dave stopped by TTT HQ, to get some movement screens with our on-site PT Kyle Habdo, and perform some initial testing with Max.  Our plan is to document this journey.  Most of you know us for working with elite CrossFit athletes, but what you don't know is how many cases like this we take on.⁣ ⁣ Get to know a little bit more about Max and Dave in this episode of the Corpus Animus Podcast.

Episode 64 – Training Think Tank Sometimes I invite a guest on the show because they are nowhere near as popular as they should be. This is the case with today’s guest, Max El-Hag. You will hear a lot of humility from Max in this episode but don’t mistake it, as he has profound knowledge of the fitness industry. In this episode we talk about his company, Training Think Tank, and how it is helping athletes of all sports connect with coaches who are able to advise and train them to the highest abilities. We talk strategy, methodology, and more related to his business and life! Reminder: The 2017 Two-Brain Summit is coming this June 3rd and 4th in Chicago. Be sure to register now!
