Strength Beyond the Platform takes a sharp turn in this episode—straight into the gear that makes the grind possible.

IFBB Pro Kyron Holden sits down with American Barbell founder Phil Patti for an unfiltered conversation on what most trainers and athletes don’t know about the equipment they use every day.
