The Guy Who Got Max El-Hag into CrossFit

Become a TTT Athlete: http://www.trainingthinktank.com/tttathlete

Dave Hochberg is the man responsible for getting Max El-Hag into a CrossFit gym. He put him through his first workout (Fight Gone Bad), introduced him to Brannen Dorman, connected him to OPT (now OPEX), provided business mentorship to TTT, and talked a ton of trash along the way.

Dave, 57 years young, now has his eye set on getting back in shape to counteract nature so that he can be in the best shape possible for his 4-month-old child.

Dave stopped by TTT HQ, to get some movement screens with our on-site PT Kyle Habdo, and perform some initial testing with Max. Our plan is to document this journey. Most of you know us for working with elite CrossFit athletes, but what you don't know is how many cases like this we take on.
