The Okay Podcast hits Episode 100.

Grant Broggi, Jeff Buege, and Tres Gottlich break down everything happening in the strength world — from the Arnold Fitness Expo to the ongoing debate around real strength standards.

Guests PJ, Tanner Baird, and Connor King join the show to talk about:

• The Arnold Expo experience
• The evolution of gym culture
• Strength standards for everyday lifters
• Garage gyms vs commercial gyms
• Building equipment companies and fitness platforms
• Why consistency matters more than hype

The guys also discuss the reality of hitting big lifts like a 500 lb deadlift and what it actually takes to get there.

Episode 100 also marks a milestone for the show — and a look back at what it takes to keep a podcast going for the long haul.

Podcast Hosts:

Grant Broggi: Marine Veteran, Owner of The Strength Co. and Starting Strength Coach.

Jeff Buege: Marine Veteran, Outdoorsman, Football Fan and Lifter

Tres Gottlich: Marine Veteran, Texan, Fisherman, Crazy College Football Fan and Lifter
