    Consistently a quality podcast
    The host and the content are excellent. Really enjoyed your conversation with Alyssa Ages, author of Secrets of Giants. What really resonated with me was her personal story and stories she shared from her book. Learned that lifting isn't about success, it's about failure. Thank you for sharing other ways to think about strength outside the gym. Tons of amazing takeaways in this episode.

    This and Ben Bergeron’s “Chasing Excellence” are my go to, can’t miss podcasts. I’ve been going back and listening to BarBend and just caught Dr Jordan Shallow. Man, what a smart guy who talks down to earth and simple. Made me laugh and learn at the same time. Worth listening to several times.

    Great Work
    This podcast is always just the right length, just the right amount of info, and always interesting. I have been listening at work, in the car, etc, and it’s great to have on in the background and as a “main event”. Great work David and BarBend- as a new listener, I have lots to catch up on, but keep them coming!

    Great Podcast. I listen to podcasts as I fall asleep and this is a fun topic and David’s voice and smooth interviewing makes for an easy transition to rest so I can hit the gym even harder the next day. I’ve learned much so far; topics are always interesting. Thank you and keep up the good work!

    These shows are great for staying up to date in the lifting/fitness world. I might not be involved in each aspect that they cover, but it’s always good to learn about what’s going on. I’ve learned a lot about my training that can be applied based off what they cover.

    What a find
    I happened across this podcast from YouTube of all places. Side note- BarBend has a great video spotlight on Josh Bridges that is really well done and worth the watch. The podcast is just as great. I’ve listened to a few episodes now and David is a great podcast host. His questions are thoughtful and elicite great discussions with his guests. Looking forward to more great content just as much to digging through the archives to see what I’ve been missing out on!
