Summary

We are joined by the reigning 76kg world champion and now the strongest deadlifter on the women's side of the IPF, fresh after returning from the 2022 IPF worlds in South Africa. Jessica came away with a squat and deadlift world record, the latter of which she had to pull in order to win, tying the equipped IPF champion Agata Sitko, beating her on bodyweight, who had thrown her hat into the ring at classic worlds. What did Jess’s build-up look like? How was the cut? How did nearly two days of travel impact her performance? How do Eric and Jess operate as coach and athlete? And how did having two of her protein bars stolen by monkeys impact her mental state? Join us to learn all of the above!

0:41.1	So we utilize their services and we assist them in world domination.
0:45.0	But I was warned by Eric that, you know, Jess has a tendency to mock people, assert dominance,
0:52.3	assert her will over others to reap their souls. And when we gave her
0:57.0	the invite to Skype, she basically said, nah, fuck that shit. I'm calling you guys on Google Meet.
