The Bent On Better Podcast is back with new episodes coming your way! To kick it off, Matt and Nick, with some brotherly banter in the mix, discuss the benefits of strength training and how to make it sustainable so it can build muscle strength and endurance. In this episode, Matt also shares his personal story of how he became the person that he is today by taking actionable steps in achieving his goals and how his lifelong habits lead him to create Bent On Better with an advocacy of improving the lives of people through strength training.
