How I Discovered Fitness, Why I Love Weight Lifting, and the Importance of Nutrition (I&G Podcast Ep. #1)

By Jordan Leave a Comment | Last updated on September 3, 2022

This is the first ever Iron & Grit Podcast.

No frills, no filler. Just one man and a microphone dropping fitness knowledge.

In this episode I talk about how I got into fitness and why I love it so much.

I also get into the topic of nutrition and its CRITICAL role in building muscle and gaining size. (Not to mention health and wellness… But we’ll cover that in a future episode.)

If you have any questions, let me know in the comments below!
