PowerCast episode originally released Aug 8, 2017.

When you hear the name “Kevin Ogar” a lot of you are probably thinking, “He’s the guy who got paralyzed doing CrossFit.” That’s not the whole picture, and it’s not even right story. If you’ve seen the video that so many people have seen, well, that doesn’t really tell the whole story either. In January of 2014, Kevin Ogar was injured in a freak accident while bailing on a snatch during the OC Throwdown. The event wasn’t even a CrossFit event, and the snatch that was not even close to his max.

Kevin gives us his full story, and describes his life both before and after the accident that paralyzed him by severing his spinal cord between the T11 and T12 vertebrae. Kevin’s positive attitude and ability not to take himself or his permanent disability too seriously will make a big impression on you. This is one of my favorite episodes of the year.
