Hussein Kasim, former strength and conditioning coach for West Ham United FC's academy team and owner of Force: Elite Athletic Performance, joins me to discuss a myriad of topics including:

-The funny story behind how we became "acquainted" (hint: it was not under the friendliest of terms)

-The state of YouTube fitness, how it brought us together, and why neither of us create content or follow anyone on that platform anymore

-Hussein's transition from a career in graphic design to architecture to strength and conditioning

-How to overcome injuries with a psychological and physical approach

-Long-term athlete development and Hussein's tenets to youth strength and conditioning

-Training and nutrition considerations during the month of Ramadan (or anyone that is following a strict fasting protocol)
