Summary

Mike Tuchscherer and Natalie Hanson return to Iron Culture in this obscenely strong episode. These world champions and top tier powerlifting coaches are joined by first-time Cult member, Canadian champ Bryce Krawczyk, also an elite lifter and coach. Uniquely, each has competed at the highest level in both raw, and equipped powerlifting and has experience coaching both types of lifters. We cover the short history of supportive equipment, how the sport went from its raw roots to being dominated by equipment, to now in modern times seeing raw re-emerge as the common expression of the sport. The three guests discuss the similarities and differences of equipped to raw lifting, the experience of equipped lifting, bust myths surrounding this side of the sport, and share how you can get started if you want to give it a try.

0:36.7	are being a strict curl.
0:37.8	You're saying when people say the big three, it either needs to become the big four
0:42.4	and the first one is the squat or maybe they say there's the big one and then the medium three.
0:48.3	Yes, sir. Yes, sir. Yeah. I think that's fair. Yeah, we both come away with a lot.
0:53.0	You've, you know, you know the saying that if you don't, that if you don't stand for something,
0:57.4	you'll fall for anything.
0:58.3	I think you've chosen a worthy cause.
1:00.3	Strict curl is the primary lift.
1:01.8	Yeah.
1:02.1	And likewise, yeah, I don't necessarily know how I'm going to get to a Svelte 120.
