On the first installment of the Bulk Boys podcast, I interview Jakob S of @JSStrength, a powerlifter and coach who's already putting up staunch numbers at the age of twenty. (Correction: I said he was twenty-one in my introduction, but his birthday isn't until April 1st.) Our conversation covers the impact of temperament on training, how to progressively overload your mindset, our mutual fanboying over  @ShetharTraining  and  @peterubishfitness , and selfishness as the truest path to altruism. Stay tuned for part two of our discussion, which should be dropping on Easter.
You can find Jakob at  @JSStrength  on Youtube and jsstrength_0 on Instagram, and email him at [email protected] for coaching inquiries.
