Man, what to say about this episode! Rolling Rocks Radio was honored to host Dr. Joe Lombardo of the Scholars and Iron Podcast on this week's show. Joe is a documentarian of strength cultures, both thru his podcast and his first ever documentary Women Empowered which he created with his partner Chris Praml of Precision Video Solutions


Joe and the guys dove deep into the cultures that are born out of groups of people taking on physical pursuits and how these groups break political and ideological definition. We also discuss why Joe decided to start Scholars and Iron, how a PhD candidate found his way to the powerlifting platform, and why you shouldn't judge members of strength cultures based on their looks alone.
