#1 - Strength Is the First Step

from The Family Barbell · host Trent Jones, SSC

We use the word "strong" all the time -- building strong families, strong communities, strong minds. It's a good thing to build strong things, things that we want to endure, but the only way we can build strong things externally is to start with getting ourselves strong. Building strong communities is a complex endeavor, but fortunately, building physical strength in yourself is fairly simple. Not easy, but simple, hard, and effective.   In today's podcast Trent and Jordan discuss the base of the pyramid of your physical existence -- strength -- why you should  train for it, and how you can acquire it. In the course of this podcast, we'll make a lifter out of ye!   Resources mentioned in this episode: Starting Strength: Basic Barbell Training 3rd Ed. by Mark Rippetoe   Connect With Us Email: [email protected] Trent IG: @marmalade_cream Jordan IG: @babayaga_sews
