Some of the subjects we cover on the podcast:  
BFR (blood flow restriction training) – what is it and how does it apply to BJJ Recovery and importance of for longevity in BJJ  How older (mature) athletes maintaining a high volume of training with lower risk of injury.  
What BJJ (combat athletes) can do to help prevent ACL injuries.  
I was blown away by Trent's knowledge of the human body and how he can communicate with athletes to help prevent injuries.  I'm sure everyone who is trying to stay on the mats is going to get a lot out of this podcast.
