Derek "Dex" Armstrong

MS Exercise Physiology • CSCS • Precision Nutrition L2

I spent five years as a strength coach at a Division II school watching athletes miss gains because they were eating 60 grams of protein a day. I got my master's, became a CSCS, and now consult for amateur athletes and weekend warriors. I built my first protein calculator to settle an argument in the locker room. It got shared 10,000 times. I live in San Diego with my roommate (also a trainer), and I eat ice cream every Sunday without logging it.
