Ep. 241 - The End of Iron Culture (As You Know It)

It’s been a while since the duo atop the pyramid just sat down for a good one-on-one chat, as we’ve had awesome guests on for the past 6 episodes. But what did we talk about as the two of us sat atop the pyramid? Believe it or not, ending our relationship as Eve known it, by bringing a third host on top of the pyramid with us…and not atop the adjacent obelisk, and not on the one step below us, but on top, as part of an iron thrupple. Tune in to learn about this monumental change in our relationship status. In addition, we recapped some incredible performances at the recent USAPL Mega Nationals, and we also discussed the shifting winds in the social media space from a focus on strength and powerlifting, to bodybuilding.

Om Podcasten

Iron Culture was started by Eric Helms and Omar Isuf as a means of exploring the world of physical culture and attempting to distill a unified philosophy of lifting and to help listeners find greater meaning from the iron. The lifting community has become fractured over the last ~70 years and this Podcast will attempt to explore the fundamental threads that unite these different tribes. The Podcast focuses on dispensing practical, useful information to the listener, bouncing from history, to philosophy, to contemporary lifting culture issues, to science. This can range from teaching the audience about lifting, programming, nutrition, supplements/PEDs and the history of lifting culture. The format includes casual conversations between the two hosts on a variety of topics, discussions with a panel of experts and interviews with authoritative figures in the lifting community.
