Today's episode was a real treat for me as a strength history nerd. I am joined today James Fuller, of Strongman Archaeology.

James has been studying and performing the old time strongman lifts for years and his instagram page has fascinated me for a while now.

We go over a ton in this conversation;

The history of these movements and why they stopped being performed

James' journey from bodybuilding in the 80's to discovering the old time movements

Why the exercises are beneficial and why they hit a lot of things most modern exercises don't

This was so fun for me that I decided to have James be my own personal coach for the next handful of months as I am preparing for my first jiu-jitsu tournament. The history of these movements go hand-in-hand with grappling so I'm really excited to dive into these programs.
