Ep 56: John Turman, Horn Hulk

John Turman is 3rd horn in the Seattle Symphony and Horn Professor at the University of Washington. He's also a badass powerlifter and fitness coach who can lift a seriously impressive amount of weight. I was excited to speak with John about his fitness journey and how it interacts with his life as a busy professional musician. Some topics covered include: ~How John used exercise to reduce music-related aches and pains ~How John got into powerlifting (and why he loves it so much) ~What types of exercise musicians should do and why ~Making time for exercise when you have a crazy work schedule ~The similarities between fitness coaching and teaching music ~Advice for musicians who are just getting started with lifting ~How being strong and fit has helped John become a better musician This conversation was so much fun for me and John, and I really hope you enjoy it!
