Willie Albert is ridiculously strong. He's a world record holder in the sport of Raw Power Lifting with a with a 715 lbs Deadlift, 621 lbs Squat & 374 lbs Bench. And he only weighs about 180 lbs!
You may be tempted label him as a "meat-head" but that's only 30% true. Under the muscles is a big heart and brain to match.
Watch Willie wreck 1005 lbs at OLD Academy Of Lions
I first met Willie about 8 years ago when he came to the old Academy location to teach a course for Agatsu, I got to know him over the years and he's been a constant source of knowledge and laughter.
Willie is also a highly skilled coach who has taken a CrossFit team to the regional level, representing the gym he helped start back in Ottawa.
He's made the move to Toronto, and we've been chatting more & more and this podcast captures some of the philosophy that had made Willie such a champion in strength sports from the age of 16.
Listen in & enjoy.
