Ep. 58 - Are Powerlifters Just Closet Nerds? with Joe Coursey

From classic nerdy guy to insanely strong powerlifter, you can't find a more awesome guy than Joe Coursey. Joe was introduced to the gym early by his uncle who was invested in strongman back in the '80s! Now, not only is Joe a massive dude who has spanned everything from bodybuilding and weightlifting to powerlifting, but Joe has over a 2000lb total in squat, bench, and deadlift, and hangs with the best in the powerlifting community.

In this episode we talk everything from teaching jocks how to lift, increasing an already humongous bench, to nerding out over comic books and scifi. Take a listen to this episode if you want to get an inside look on a great powerlifting origin story.
