Rebuild Stronger episodes

  • Bands, Bars, and Bench Press

    Today, Jared and John, along with our guest, strength enthusiast Wyatt Christiansen, peel back the layers of elite lifting. Dive into the psyche of a lifter, explore the nuances of compensatory acceleration training, and understand why speed, technique, and the right mindset are essential to transcending limits. We reflect on childhood movies like ‘Land Before Time’ and ‘American Tale,’ and comment on the unexpectedly dark themes found in ‘Brave Little Toaster.’
