Summary

One of the most prominent figures in Irish Powerlifting, Jay Farrant, is finally on the Iron Mindset Podcast. The most requested guest to date, Jay has quite the back story. Enlisting in the Armed Forces in the height of the war, Jay was deployed as a member of the Queen's Dragoon Guard. While on tour, Jay learned many valuable lessons about leadership, camaraderie, discipline and taking action in the face of adversity. After returning home, Jay moved to Ireland, where he met Bryan Kavanagh, owner of the ABS Gym; a personal training studio. Jay became a highly successful trainer in his own right, eventually establishing ABS Powerlifting Sunday at 9am. This tradition is still practiced today, with Sunday Mass being a huge piece of ABS culture. As his involvement in the sport grew, Jay recounts his experiences at events like Battle of the Boyne, eventually leading a few key players to establish the Irish Powerlifting Federation. As his vision for the sport expanded, Jay put together the inaugural ABS PRO in 2018. Little did he know, this would become one of the biggest events in Europe. There are so many experiences and stories in this one. I hope you enjoy.
