This episode features a deep dive into unconventional training with Shawn Richardson, inventor of the BAMF Hammer—a versatile tool designed to build rotational strength, power, and mobility across all athlete backgrounds. Shawn shares his journey from an acting career to fitness innovation, and Dana explores how functional movement supports injury prevention and lasting resilience.​


Shawn is the founder of BAMF Hammer, combining a lifelong passion for movement, comic book inspiration, and practical training experience. After transitioning from acting to fitness, he developed the BAMF Hammer to fill gaps he noticed in mainstream gym equipment and methods, particularly around rotational strength.
