Dr. Lima has been working in college athletics since 2009 after his athletic career ended.

He also earned his PhD in Health and Human Performance and Masters in Strength and Conditioning.

Each week he is joined by coaches who make their living working in the field of strength and conditioning. On the show we dive into the world of working in professional and collegiate sport - but make it interesting! Yes we dive into the science of exercise, our spin on it makes it digestable for everyone to understand how elite athletes are able to perform.
