Show notes
Patrick Maguire is still a professional powerlifter, voice actor, Ghost Clash broadcaster, polyphasic sleep researcher, coach, and aspirational foot model. He has totaled 2342 raw with wraps, sporting competition bests of a 1014 squat, a 635 bench, and a 771 deadlift. His training ebook is dropping this week; he’s also writing a really epic progression fantasy that involves familiars, bone runes, fighting pits, and possibly a pro-garlic vampiric conspiracy. You can find him at Full_Primal_Power on Youtube, Instagram, and Only Fans.
