The girls chat with Jess Montejo (who is a freakin powerhouse). Jess talks about everything from first meets to building a full-on strength sports hub. She also shares how a simple invite from her cousin turned into a decade-long journey in powerlifting, multiple records across federations, and eventually opening UNIT Strength Training with her husband. We also touch on "halftime entertainment" in strength sports so be sure to tune in.

The girls welcome Anna McElderry - reader, playlist extraordinaire, and Team USA weightlifter. Anna shares her journey from a field hockey kid with terrible hand-eye coordination to an international-level Olympic weightlifter training out of Garage Strength. She talks about qualifying for Youth Nationals early on, medaling at her first international meet, and growing up in the sport alongside teammates. Anna also gets into the real stuff on burnout and how she decided what to do with her weightlifting career.

This one is FUN. Be sure to share it with your friends and leave us a 5-star review anywhere you listen!
