Enter the Barbell, Essential or Overhyped? with Jake Boly

Strength Strength + more Strength. We sound like a broken record because it is REALLY important for Longevity & Performance, but do you NEED the Barbell or can I just get by on Kettlebells, Bodyweight, Aerobic exercise, Martial Arts, or any other form of fitness? Jake Boly is the man of 1,700 fitness articles, 4 books, and countless informative instagram posts on anything and everything Fitness. If you have thought it, chances are he has written an article about it! Jake will kindly answer the following on Fireside5: 1. Online training, where do we go next? How do we improve the experience? 2. The back squat, is it overhyped? 3. How deep do I need to squat? Establishing realistic metrics. 4. How do I train as a strength athlete, but not run myself into the ground? 5. How much do I need to truly maximize strength and muscle mass gain? Jake and I met on a PATH train ride long ago. I was studying for a certification that he already had completed and he was kind enough to share with me some advice and also tell me that I would pass. He was right and a friendship was born. Since then Jake has gone on to co-found Pheasyque Lab which takes you from wherever you are, to wherever you want to go in Fitness.
