4.7 out of 5 stars from 104 ratings
  • Always an interesting listen

    I came across the hammer and chisel podcast when Zach Even-esh was a guest on the show and since then I have been listening to every episode. Heck gives an interesting perspective being an ex football player, high-level strength & conditioning coach, power lifter, and nutritionist. Though I am older (his father’s generation), the insight that he gives each week is helpful to my own journey and I enjoy listening. Highly recommend.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Ep. 105 | Joe Sullivan: Death, Squats, and Powerlifting Beefs
Q: Talk to me about that.
Sullivan describes a difficult childhood, a suicide attempt at age 17, and how training helped him channel negative emotions and embrace powerlifting as a central part of his identity.
Ep. 105 | Joe Sullivan: Death, Squats, and Powerlifting Beefs
Q: Why the return back to powerlifting, man?
Sullivan says powerlifting is more fun, is part of who he is, and gives him the competition-day pressure and purpose he missed in bodybuilding.
Bonus Ep | Elite Powerlifter Tyler Williamson: Beef with Joe Sullivan
Q: When you say an increase in frequency, are you talking squatting twice a week?
Williamson says he plans to add dynamic-effort work on opposing training days, using more lift practice and undulation in intensity to improve execution without adding excessive fatigue.
Bonus Ep | Elite Powerlifter Tyler Williamson: Beef with Joe Sullivan
Q: Do you think Joe has what it takes to get back to a comparable level of strength to you?
Williamson expects Sullivan to be a skilled competitor but says rebuilding strength in a short period will be difficult. He believes his own strength gives him an advantage, while acknowledging that meet-day execution could decide the matchup.
Nutrition and Training Q&A with Dr. Emily Dow
Q: What is the relationship between serotonin and the gut?
Gut-produced serotonin does not cross the blood-brain barrier but can influence brain signaling via the vagus nerve; tryptophan from gut microbes can cross into the brain and be a serotonin precursor.
