Show notes
In this episode, we sit down with Dustin Myers of Old School Gym to talk meathead lifting, chase-the-pump training, and transitioning from powerlifting to bodybuilding with longevity in mind. We break down conditioning for muscle growth, training elite wrestlers in-season, and what actually transfers to performance. We also cover building a wrestling-first supplement brand and finish with rapid-fire takes on favorite lifts, overrated exercises, and what separates the great from the average.The Iron Summit podcast provides general health and fitness information for educational purposes only.
