In the first ever episode of TAF, Josh and I banter about training education and low-carbohydrate diets, discuss beginner weightlifting considerations and some useful approaches to skill learning.

Josh "The People's Scientist" Gibson is a great weightlifting coach from Columbus, Ohio. He is the host of the Philosophical Weightlifting Podcast and the co-host of the Weightlifting House Podcast. Josh likes questioning things, GMOs, vaccines, and lifting weights. He is a pleasure to talk training with and I know you all will get a ton of useful information from this conversation.
