EP 98: Debating Rip, Elk Hunting & Safety Razors feat. Justin Jones

In Episode 98 of The Okay Podcast, Grant Broggi, Jeff Buege, and Tres Gottlich sit down with outfitter Justin Jones to break down one of the biggest debates in strength training:

Is lifting heavy enough — or do you need conditioning to perform in the real world?

Justin runs extreme mountain hunts in Wyoming, where 10-hour days, high elevation, and brutal terrain expose the difference between “gym strong” and truly prepared.
