James Townsend is a freak. Plain and simple, no exaggeration or embellishment, he is the .1% of .1% when it comes to speed, strength and explosive power. A former track star and NFL Wide Receiver, James is taking his 455 bench, 45″ vertical and 4.30 40 speed to the powerlifting platform.

Listen as James describes how his athlete and performance driven identity created a debilitating depression and how creating an identity that he controls has allowed him to be a better man, father, husband and coach.
