In this episode I talk about the best and hardest thing I ever did for my strength. It is also one of the things I have gotten the most shit for on social media. I have talked about this on more than a few podcasts but figured I would try to expand a bit in this episode for those that want to give it a listen. As I always say there is no one right or wrong way but the best way for you. In this episode I talk about why I did it for me and why we did it for my training partners. Then how I tried to meld it all together so we could all train together even though we may have needed slightly different things. In the end the way I see it is that the more often you can train, recover, and grow the faster you get to your goal. You have to be smart about this because if you're training to much you're just slowing the progress the same as not training enough.

Part 2 with Guest Paul Leonard

This was another fun episode getting to sit down and just chat with the great Paul Leonard again. He has been in strength sports for so long and is just a wealth of knowledge. I actually had to make this a two parter because we talk for so long and hit so many subjects. If you ever wonder what a conversation between two old strength friends was like, well here ya go!

This episode is about some advice I recently received. I spent a few days thinking about it and decided I would make an episode about it and how it also relates to strength training.

A quick story from my glory days and some thoughts about stress.

In this episode we get the great opportunity to have a conversation with Jon and Teri Anderson. Jon is well known for Bodybuilding, Strongman, Wrestler, Etc. Teri is a bodybuilder and they are also coaches. On top of all this they put out some amazing content about life, mentality, and relationships. I have been blessed to have on many amazing people and The Andresons are definitely on this list. This episode will definitely make one of my favorite conversations.

This episode was recorded a few week ago and just getting it up now. Going through this move and or transition has got me behind but finally in my new temporary place and working to catch up. I hope that everyone will bear with me through this process so we can get to a place to improve the podcast and Courage Barbell.

In this episode I talk about the idea of remembering the struggles we have been through and how they made us stronger. Being aware of this to help us be more successful when challenging ourselves in the future.

In this episode I get to sit down with female strongman competitor, grip competitor, arm lifting competitor, and good friend Amy Wattles. We talk about how she got into strength sports. The evolution of females in strength sports. We tell some stories and have some laughs. Looking forward to having Amy on again in the future.
