Terminator Training Show

Terminator Training Show

The creator of Terminator Training Method, Kevin Smith, has been lifting weights and chasing peak performance for the past 17 years, the last 11 of which spent as a member of the US Army Special Forces. His obsession with strength and conditioning, nutrition, health improvement, and personal development have driven him to begin his own journey in the fitness industry. This podcast will include information and conversation on a wide variety of topics, including strength training, endurance training and conditioning, nutrition (for performance, body composition, and health), habit formation, and how to optimize your life. If you're sick of being misinformed or mislead, and interested in leveling up, this is the podcast for you.
