Show notes

Austin Ferrier was a nationally competitive collegiate lifter for Ohio University. These days he’s working a grownup job, but still snatching and jerking for the soul. He talks about self-coaching, the skill aspect of Olympic lifting, and how his relationship with the sport has changed after leaving the platform; we also reminisce about the Misc, 70’s Big, and old school TNation. We’re trying to be chill strong. Only 2010’s lifters will get this.
