5 QUESTIONS WITH ALEX VIADA

“An ultra-marathoner with a 700 pound squat?! You read that correctly. Alex Viada is a different breed of athlete, he is a hybrid athlete, combining tremendous strength and exceptional endurance, he pushes his body in ways that few even thought was possible. With PRs of 705, 465 and 700 raw w/ wraps in the 220 class and a mile time of 4:15, Alex has reached levels that even few specialists can match. At his Durham, NC based facility, Complete Human Performance, Alex works with athletes of all kinds helping them take their strength and conditioning to new levels through well thought out hybrid training and sound nutrition.

[Your curiosity has to be piqued by a 220lb. athlete with a 700 lb. squat, 700 lb. deadlift and 465 bench press who can run the mile in 4:15!]—George

    George,
    Another interesting article from Alex Viada, I’ve got to focus on cooling down more instead of just walking out.

    Al–Agreed! Good idea!

    John– YES! I’m going to have to introduce the cool down I do after training with the last session. When my heart beat returns to normal I grab the “Mini-prowler” and do rounds of gym sweeping. This is followed by wiping down the equipment we used, some we didn’t use and taking out the garbage. There’s a little known exercise called “Putting away the equipment that somebody used and left out” I sometimes have to do. It’s awesome and I always leave feeling nice and limber. Maybe it will catch on!?!?
