Today I’m talking to author Alyssa Ages, who recently released a book called Secrets of Giants: A Journey to Uncover the True Meaning of Strength. She’s also a strength athlete herself, and in this book, she spoke with dozens of people around the strength community: lifters, writers, journalists, even organizers, etc. It’s a look into how strength impacts our lives and how it can push us past our barriers in all aspects of society. And here’s the fun part: I’m actually quoted a couple times in the book! This is the exact sort of book and journey listeners of this podcast will love.
In this episode of the BarBend Podcast, host David Thomas Tao talks to Alyssa Ages about:
- A “midlife crisis odyssey” into the journey of strength(2:10)
- The pandemic black market run by “Johnny Plates” (6:00)
- What’s the real human relationship with strength? (12:00)
