I am joined on this fine episode by none other than my friend Pat Flynn of ChroniclesOfStrength.com to talk about complexes, circuts, and chains, oh my!

Oh, and we also talk about a ton of other unrelated stuff, like John Wick, the Ip Man movies, the MCU, Star Wars, why the best Philly cheesesteaks are found OUTSIDE of Philadelphia, and other stuff that will make this your favorite podcast episode of mine so far.

And be sure to snag the insane deal Pat is offering – the best of his year 3 Strong ON! workouts, all wrapped up into one neat little package. Check out the details here: http://www.chroniclesofstrength.com/bestofyear3

It’s been said that there’s no school like the old school, and nowhere is that truer than with good ol’ strength training.

This episode dives into one such example. Try it out – I know you’re gonna love it. Maybe not immediately, but eventually. Probably.
