This week the boys are joined by Ben Pollack!
Ben Pollack holds the all-time world record raw total of 2039 in the 198-pound class. He has won best overall lifter at the largest raw meets in the world, including the US Open, Boss of Bosses, and Reebok Record Breakers.
Ben earned his Ph.D. in the history and management of strength and fitness from the University of Texas at Austin in 2018, and has published articles in a number of scholarly publications, including The Journal of Sport History, The Journal of Sport Management, and Iron Game History: The Journal of Physical Culture. He also coaches strength athletes of all skill levels, including several internationally-elite powerlifters and world record holders.
Ben's ongoing experiment on how to look like a bodybuilder but lift like a powerlifting is an ongoing one, an experiment that we were fascinated to hear about. Ben also discusses his reasons for leaving the IPF, and what his aspirations are in both bodybuilding and powerlifting.
