Welcome back to another episode of the Strong Life podcast.

0:03.8

These next series of episodes are going to be bonus episodes.

0:08.3

This is part two of one of my interview series with Jan Delinger.

0:12.8

If you miss part one, definitely go back and listen.

0:16.3

So there's a smooth transition and an understanding of what we're talking about here with iron history.

1:20.7

Bob was also a collegiate wrestler and I believe a high school state champ from Iowa. His workouts were all bodyweight. It was extremely
