This week my guest is the esteemed fitness journalist Lou Schuler.
Lou is an award-winning journalist, a certified strength and conditioning specialist, a contributing editor to Men’s Health magazine and author or coauthor of many popular books about diet and strength training.
His latest book,Strong, came out November 10, 2015.

• The early years
• Working for Weider
• Why he got certified
