Austin Ferrier was a nationally competitive collegiate lifter for Ohio University. These days he’s working a grownup job, but still snatching and jerking for the soul. He talks about self-coaching, the skill aspect of Olympic lifting, and how his relationship with the sport has changed after leaving the platform; we also reminisce about the Misc, 70’s Big, and old school TNation. We’re trying to be chill strong. Only 2010’s lifters will get this.

Part two of my interview with Jakob S of  @JSStrength . We cover his implementation of conjugate, the strategies he employed to skyrocket his bench, his strongman aspirations, his origins as Charmander, and the fire that drives him.

On the first installment of the Bulk Boys podcast, I interview Jakob S of @JSStrength, a powerlifter and coach who's already putting up staunch numbers at the age of twenty. (Correction: I said he was twenty-one in my introduction, but his birthday isn't until April 1st.) Our conversation covers the impact of temperament on training, how to progressively overload your mindset, our mutual fanboying over  @ShetharTraining  and  @peterubishfitness , and selfishness as the truest path to altruism. Stay tuned for part two of our discussion, which should be dropping on Easter.
