"I weight trained intensely from ages 18 to 23 and sustained numerous injuries. During that time, I did a lot of damage to myself and other people due to incorrect lifting mechanics. I then took it upon myself to go back to school and learn about the human body."
Over the last nine years, Chrzaszcz has focused his studies on Exercise Biomechanics, Clinical Assessments and Anatomy.
